"At the very least, I didn"t want to win you overusing underhanded methods."Lila rolled her eyes at his vague explanation, "Underhanded means, huh?" she recalls that frightening attempt of his. Her mind was all muddled and confused than when he tried to force himself on her but failed. "You were only testing me; you didn"t plan to do anything. You just made your kisses a bit aggressive and pa.s.sionate. But actually, even though you were drugged heavily and acting crazy. You didn"t put it in, all you did was kiss me."
Haruka looked very troubled when she finished her explanation. "I admit it. Your right; even in that state, I didn"t do anything. I kissed you because you told me you liked kissing. That"s as far as we ever went anyway. So even during that state, I kept those words in my head."
"Trying to act like the bad guy, there was no need. I already liked you, Haruka," Lila nodded to herself.
"You did? How long?"
"Uh…"
There is no way she can tell him that long before her journey... Gahh, she can"t tell him. Lila kept her head low, and Haruka stared at her quizzically. "Why are you hiding it, I"d really like to know."
The fact that she fell in love with him again, without her memories of the past. Is she some kind of idiot?
"Hmm, I wonder when. Your acting suspicious about it."
She can"t say it.
That"s the one thing she will never tell him. Still, Lila pressed her lips against his. "Hubby, I really, really love you."
Even though she can"t tell him how long she liked him for. Lila wants to tell him how she feels right now, honestly.
"...My wife, can you not do that?"
"Do what?"
That wasn"t the reaction she was expecting from him. Isn"t this where he would normally pounce on her and act stupid? Why isn"t he doing that? Haruka didn"t say another word on that matter and laid her back down on the bed.
Since Haruka wasn"t doing anything, Lila decided to go ahead and take action. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. The taste of his lips drove her crazy. Lila didn"t realize how much she enjoyed kissing until she met this person.
Mmm, this is nice. Haruka usually acts like a dummy. So she can never take advantage of the situation. Her thoughts broke when she felt him lift her s.h.i.+rt up. His cool hand pressed against her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. "Nnngh .."
"He"s so handsome; she"s very lucky." Lila has always thought that. But she isn"t the type of person to fall in love with somebody because of their looks.
"It"s not too late to stop," he murmurs as he broke the kiss. As s.e.xy as he sounded when he said those words. Lila noticed his distressed expression.
A deep sigh escaped Lila"s lips, "Why do you keep ruining the mood?"
"Because you aren"t feeling well, my lovely wife. I know you want to get intimate. But your body is very weak right now. I don"t want to risk it, yeah?"
"Okay," Lila nodded. She was a bit sad. But his concerns are legit.
Haruka brushed his lips lightly against hers, "Don"t worry, wife. Since your so eager, I"ll make it up to you."
"Moron."
…..
"If you"re going to practice singing, at least sing in tune. What happened to pitch being your forte?"
"Hey! I"m sick, remember?" Lila exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah."
Aaaah, he"s so frustrating when he gets into judge mode. Forget it, Haruka isn"t just saying that. Lila wanted to try singing since she hasn"t in a while. Last time her voice already seemed odd, but now she has confirmed it.
"I don"t think I"ll be able to sing."
"You know I hate it when you say things like that."
"But, you heard me just now. I sounded terrible."
"No, your voice now seems average at most. It isn"t terrible. Even if you get sick, your voice won"t suddenly downgrade into something people won"t listen to," Haruka pauses and extends his hands out. "Come over here, let me check something."
Lila nodded and made her way over. Her body felt slightly better. Otherwise, she wouldn"t be moving around like this. "Open your mouth."
She follows his instructions, and Haruka"s fingers intruded inside her mouth. Uhh, what is he trying to do? Lila, however, didn"t question him. Sometimes it"s hard to believe that this man has a medical license. After a while, Haruka removed his fingers; his gaze was dark.
"Lila, did you meet with Zane recently? Or even Rosalia?" Haruka asked.
"Ah, I met with Rosalia that time I went for fresh air…"
"So, did she do anything?"
Lila thought back to that moment, "Ah! She tried to choke me."
"So, she touched your throat?" Haruka looked very troubled by this.
She nodded, and Haruka cursed. Lila looked at him, confused. Is there something wrong with her?
___
At the hideout
A man with long black hair angrily smashed a cup onto the ground. Rarely does he get angry, normally he wears a calm smile on his face.
"Rosalia!" he bellowed, "What did you do?"
Just moments ago, Zane received a message from Haruka stating.
[Keep your word about not harming her.]
Even now, reading the message made him feel terrible. What did Rosalia do now? The girl who just entered the room, however, looked calm. She waltzed over and sat on his lap, "Zane," she mumbled in her ear. "You don"t have to worry. I only put a bit of our poison in her system."
Was that all? But even then, "It isn"t time. Her body isn"t in a good state. If you do that, you"ll cause severe harm."
"Didn"t you tell me, no matter what happens, I must bring over Teras.h.i.+ma Lila?"
"I said that yes. But don"t harm her too much, she still has to get here in one piece."
Rosalia giggled, "Relax, the most that will do to her is ensure she won"t be able to sing anymore."
At that comment, his eyes widened. "You.."
"That is if she is a normal person. Shall we see Zane? Is Lila normal or not?"
Isn"t the answer to that obvious already? If Lila was a normal woman, would he set his eyes on somebody like her? The answer is no. He would have no interest in a person who would not bring him any benefits. The same goes for this girl in front of him. If she were completely useless, then he wouldn"t have bothered with her.
When he first found her in that terrible state, escaping from some criminal organization. At first, Zane intended to leave her alone. But then he saw her power. It turned out after the incident on the island with Teras.h.i.+ma Lila. Her powers grew out of control. So, she tried to escape and hide for a while. But, she got caught up with the wrong group.
The place she arranged to stay out double-crossed her. While she was working, a leader of a gang became interested. Rosalia obviously refused stating her reasons. But then the group bribed the owner of the place. Rosalia tried to escape.
"How is the child? Have you gone to see him?"
Rosalia nodded, "I just came back, actually."
"And…?"
"No good, it"s difficult for even me to get close and I"m his mother."
Rosalia only refused because she was pregnant. This was one of the main reasons why he agreed to help her. Both the child and mother have special abilities. However, it turned out that not even he could control that kid.
"Do you not know who the father is? Is it not Austin Kiryu?"
The girl bites her lip, "I can"t be too sure actually. I indeed took advantage of that night he broke up with Lila. But, it could easily be a random client."
A random client wouldn"t have such peculiar genes. If it were Rosalia"s genes alone, then it wouldn"t be this strong. Sensing the girl s.h.i.+ver, Zane laid down. He brought her hands on top of her hips. "Do it."
Rosalia"s frightened expression from moments ago vanished. An alluring aura surrounded her, she unzipped his pants and slid inside him. "Ah….uhh .."
"You seem pent up, haven"t you been doing it with Austin Kiryu every day? Is your beloved not enough anymore?"
