Earth-Z.
After returning to the bunker from that nest, Alex and Laura spent their days busy with training, Alex's continued seduction of Laura, and farming EP.
He was truly taking things slowly with her as they hadn't even gone beyond second base till now— weeks since they'd met. And although this might not sound like a lot of time, one must keep in mind that since they met, they had been inseparable. Stuck together forever. Alex himself was surprised at how patient he was being with Laura.
They were practically living through a teen romance in a zombie apocalypse on steroids.
Another thing that had started happening was that every night, before Laura slept, Alex would give her an amazing sensual massage that would infuse some EP into her skin to increase the strength of her physique.
Even though she was living on a dark and depressing earth that had been practically destroyed, these days were the happiest that Laura's ever been.
She would get to fight as much as her inner battle maniac masochist wanted, she had an amazing guy who was willing to go above and beyond to fulfill any wish that she could have, and each night she would get unprecedented pleasure before she climaxed to the land of unconsciousness.
If she had some complaints though, it would be the training. As much as Alex pampered her all the time, he was utterly brutal when it came to training. He'd made her endure getting stabbed, cutting off her skin to her bones, and a whole different level of torture to increase the level of her healing factor.
As much as she understood that it was necessary, it didn't exactly make her feel good, especially since his actions practically made her remember what those people at the Bastion used to do to her.
"Fuck off, Alex. I hate you!" Laura screamed as she stormed out of the bloody training area that Alex had designated for their training.
Alex couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the receding back.
'Every fucking day…' He grumbled. But he wasn't really complaining. He had a lot of fun pampering Laura and giving her all the love that she deserved. But she had to get her healing factor to a higher level quickly too.
It had been about two weeks since they'd started doing this every day and there was quite a bit of progress.

Laura's physique had gotten much stronger in the last two weeks. This was because along with the training, he'd been infusing quite a bit of EP into her body daily. It enhanced her training results and passively made her physique stronger.
He could increase her physical strength by 1 ton with a single unit of EP, which was acceptable to him.
He'd infused 1 unit of EP into her every day and they'd farmed 2 units every day. All in all, he was making a profit. And soon that profit was going to increase as she started killing stronger abominations. For now, all the EP was farmed through killing the weakest ‹Grunt Class› abominations.
«EP: 40»
His current EP sat at 40 units and he was planning to invest a good amount of it into Laura's physique today to bring her to the point where she could easily contend against the stronger abominations.
Though since he and Laura didn't have too much intimate contact, the Bonding Rate wasn't increasing much. And as much as it was increasing was due to the strong emotional connection that Laura had with him.
If Alex had to quantify, the girls that had the highest emotional connection with him were Laura and Wanda, and after her were scientist Gwen and Spider-Gwen who were at a similar level. Then finally, the ones with the least emotional connection were MJ and Natasha.
Laura's strong emotional connection was obvious. Alex was treating her as if she was his most beloved person in the world and she loved every moment of it. She was also happy to reciprocate his feelings and actions.
Wanda was also in a similar situation as Laura. It was due to being apprehensive of her abilities that Alex had gone extremely gentle with her and pampered her a lot.
Both the different versions of Gwen had a similar emotional connection with him. They were the first girls that he'd bonded with and he'd gone a bit too rough on them initially. Though they both loved the physical aspect of the relationship, the emotional connection was a bit little weaker than the others.
Finally Natasha and MJ. They were both in vastly different situations.
Natasha was someone who had lived through a wide array of experiences. She'd known what it was to be betrayed, and she didn't trust anyone easily. It would take a lot of time for Alex to truly reach her heart. That's why he did things normally with her and kept his manipulations to a minimum. On one hand, she was a better manipulator than him and would instantly detect his attempts, on the other, it would hurt the already flimsy trust she has in him. His attitude toward Natasha was to be straightforward. He just hoped that at some point, he would get truly close to her.
MJ's situation was a little complicated. Alex didn't care for her. She was practically someone for him to fulfill his dark desires. A sex slave and nothing more. That's what he treated her as. Though at some point, Stalkhome Syndrome was going to kick in and she would realize that she was extremely happy with him.
And she had quite a number of reasons to be happy with him. He didn't fuck anyone else (at least as far as she knew), he regularly fucked her to the point that his brain would melt, and most importantly, he was the leader of the strongest nation in the world— and he apparently loved fucking her in the oval office. The internal power-hungry slut inside her was sooner or later going to take over and truly devote herself to him completely.
Everything was going pretty well.
Alex chased after a fuming Laura as she stormed off and locked the door of the bedroom. She sat on the mattress while wrapping her arms around her legs and resting her chin on her knees.
Alex knocked on the door, "Laura? Could you open up?"
"No." She said.
"You know that this is important, don't you baby?" Alex said through the door.
"I still hate you." She pouted.
"You can hate me all you want, baby, but we need to get stronger. You know that right?" He placated her.
After a few minutes of Alex's placation, Laura's face had a slight smile but she was still being stubborn and not opening the door. She was enjoying feeling important like that and was having fun.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA less patient man would've stormed off by now, but Alex was perfectly aware of Laura's feelings at all times. He knew that she wanted to feel that she was important to him. He continued the act for a few more minutes until Laura finally agreed to open the door.
There was the clicking sound of a lock as the door opened to reveal Laura's sad pouty face, "Alex~" She opened her arms and hugged him tightly.
'So that's what's going on…' Alex's bird-brained ass just now realized what was going on. Laura was ovulating. That's why she was being extra moody today. He'd assumed that her regeneration would keep her permanently fertile, making that the eggs always stay ripe for insemination. Or would affect it in some way. But apparently not. The healing factor had no effect on her periods. She still ovulated like a normal woman and felt the mood swings that a normal woman felt.
"Such a spoiled girl…" Alex said as he hugged his clingy host back. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he picked her up a little and had her stand on his feet. This way, she could keep hugging him as he walked.
He went to the bed and brought her to lied down on the bed with him.
She didn't let go of him for a second and clung to him tightly throughout the process.
"Let's take a rest for the next few days. We'll spend the next couple of days lazing around the place and enjoying each other's company. What do you say?" Alex suggested. He understood that she would rather just stay in bed all day in this situation.
"Mhm…" She hummed in agreement as she breathed in his comforting scent while cuddling with him. Her face was glued to his chest and her body was stuck to him while their legs were tangled together. Laura was so comfortable that she could go to sleep right now.
'Damn, girl…' Alex felt Laura's breasts pressing against his chest and wanted to fuck her right here. But he knew why Laura was taking things slow, and he wanted to respect her wishes. He wasn't in desperate need of sex like some starved beast anyway. She wanted to enjoy all of the steps of a happy romantic relationship before going further and Alex was going to fulfill her wish.
For once, Alex just hugged her as his fingers ran through her hair without doing anything else. Soon they were both asleep in each other's arms. Alex wasn't actually asleep, but he's put this body in a dormant state to regenerate some of his mental energy and stamina. He did this every once in a while for all of his active bodies.
