That told him that the current pain had decreased significantly but her body still was trembling from the sensory overload that it had received. Little by little she began to relax and by the time he had made his fourth pass through her system over the period of eight hours, she was basking in the glow of how good it felt to be this much stronger.
Prior to this she had been level sixty-six. Now she was level seventy-five and right on the cusp of breaking through another threshold. Not only had she gained the nine stat points from those levels, but she had also gained six more points in Awareness which reflected her body’s greater sensitivity, and twelve points each in Durability and Metabolism.
Jay couldn’t complain either though because he had made significant gains in Evolved Assessment, Evolved Projected Bond, Hyper Accuracy, Evolved Genesis, and Body Modification with smaller increases in Evolved Telepathy and Evolved Adaptive Speed. He was definitely becoming better at using multiple skills together. Ironically, Hyper Accuracy which he had not thought much of was becoming one of his go-to skills for comboing with everything else he did. It simply improved his accuracy so significantly.
She still was nowhere near as strong as a fuse and not even quite up to par with one of the original Team Jay members at a similar level, but she had closed 85% of the gap all in one day’s worth of misery. The bond they now shared helped him to realize she was sorting through a bunch of emotions.
He could tell that she was angry with him for how much that had hurt but she also understood through his bond that he hadn’t meant it to hurt. She was also clearly digging the improvements in her strength. In one day, she had gained a thirty-three percent increase in her overall stats and more than that in her physical stats specifically.
Still an unspoken apology was no apology at all even if she could sense his feelings. “I’m sorry about the bonding. I tried to make it stronger, and I overdid it. I didn’t realize how it would affect you given the extreme difference in our power levels. That doesn’t excuse my decision and I should have been more careful.”
Trudi seemed to have recovered her smile as she listened to his apology. “Silly boy, I can already feel how upset you were about this. I’m not saying that I want to go through it again, but this connection with you is amazing. I feel like we are almost one person.”
“Be that as it may, as the leader I have to be judged by the consequences of my actions as much as by my intentions. My dad may not have had much to teach me, but he used to say that if wishes were wings, then every pig would fly. And if you think this is close then you will just freak out about a fusion. That is if you still want to fuse with me,” Jay replied.
“Yes, please. Right now,” Trudi said as she leaned forward, placing her hands on his thighs. Maybe it was the lack of aphrodisiac, maybe he was finally getting used to being surrounded by beautiful women all the time, or maybe it was just his love for his wives, but he didn’t react to her like he would have.
“One thing you will learn about me is that I am faithful. I may be a bonehead at times as Amelia will say but I am a loyal bonehead. I promised my fuses that they could pick the next fuses in the order that I fused with them. So, that means that you will have to wait until you are nominated by one of them,” Jay said.
“Oh, they told us that you take this stuff seriously. I guess that is a good thing, especially if I’m gonna be on the inside someday. I would like to think that if I’m make a lifetime commitment to you that it won’t be one sided,” Trudi said.
Jay smiled. “It will very much be a two-way street. Now though we should work on refining your channels a bit more before our time is up.”
“I think I’ve had enough of that for today,” Trudi replied.
“Okay, I can end the tempus fugit field early.”
“No, silly boy, I may not be fused to you but I was told quite clearly that there were some other perks to being on Team Jay,” Trudi said as she climbed up onto his lap. “Now do you need the bond to know what I’m thinking about.”
Jay shrugged. It was her time, he wasn’t gonna fight how she wanted to spend it. So, he just smiled, and they took her refined body for a test drive.
Chapter 7- New Ways To Do It Wrong
From there he went from one girl to the next. He didn’t make the mistake of bonding with any of them before starting the refining process. It did slow things down a bit but not having to repair the damage more than made up for it. Jay did end up bonding any of the girls that were certain they were going to end up going forward with fusion, which was only a handful of them. Unsurprisingly most of the sessions ended up with extra-curricular activity.
The last session was scheduled for Cecelia. She was extra handsy and confident in how she dealt with him just like Trudi had been. Maybe part
