Chapter 5 - Touch

Lily

We had a mission to fly across the island today to retrieve an important artifact.

There were five artifacts in total, each located in a different location, and each student was assigned to retrieve one.

As we prepared to take off, I spotted Aria and Kael's team ahead of us, ready to depart first. Since I wasn't an expert in flying, I worried I'd slow down my team, and with Raven by my side, I apologized, "Sorry, I'm really slow." Raven reassured me, not worry take my time, not to rush."

Raven offered to help me, wrapping her arms around my body. With her body pressed against mine, I was struck by her toned physique. I could feel her warm breath on my skin and her pulse.

Her larger frame provided a sense of security, and I found myself relaxing into her presence. However, as the physical closeness sparked some unexpected thoughts, my fear of heights began to take a backseat to embarrassment about my own reactions.

As we flew through the sky, I asked her to release me, claiming I'd overcome my fear of heights.

But internally, I was more concerned about my own thoughts. Despite my initial nervousness, with Raven by my side, I felt a sense of security wash over me.
