Chapter 345 Her Worries



After the talk with Seraphina, the day ended just like that. There were no complications, or fancy words exchanged; it was a straightforward negotiation.

"How was it?" Aliya inquired as she stood before me, her fiery red hair contrasting with her green eyes.

I offered her a small smile. "Just as we expected."

Aliya leaned against a nearby wall, her arms crossed, the soft fabric of her sleeve brushing against her skin. "So, Princess Jasmine used her favor?"

I shook my head. "Not likely. While I'm sure she desired the same outcome, Seraphina isn't the type to be swayed solely by favors. Also, this is important for Seraphina. Thus, I am sure they made a deal."

Aliya raised an eyebrow. "Then, you're really going to join the Student Council?"

I nodded in affirmation. "Yes, I am."

She sighed, her expression somewhat pouty, a hint of vulnerability that made her all the more alluring. "And that means you'll have less time to spend with me?"

I chuckled softly. "Probably."

SWOOSH

Following that, the immediate response she did was to jump on me. Since we were in an isolated position where no one was around us, she could behave as she wanted. Her gaze held a certain intensity, her green eyes alight with something more than mere curiosity.

"You know you haven't paid me for the last time, right?" Her voice held a sensual undertone as she leaned in, her breath warm against my neck, sending a small shiver down my spine.

To be honest, the time I spent with Diana was good, but at the same time, she did leave me on the hanger. Even though following that, I spent my time breaking through, now I am actually having some strange desires.

And, with my senses being more sensitive right now, I was actually feeling it a lot more than normal.

"I know, of course," I answered, not retracting my gaze as her lips brushed against my skin. I could feel the weight of her desire in that simple touch, a dance of anticipation that also made me yearn for more.

"Good." Her words were followed by a low, throaty laugh, a promise of what was to come. And then, she pressed her lips against my neck, the sensation sending a surge of electricity through my veins.

My breath caught as she nibbled gently, her teeth grazing my skin in a tantalizing rhythm. It was a delicate balance between pleasure and restraint, a touch that was both intimate and teasing.

My relationship with Aliya does change, mostly in my mood. If I am in the mood to dominate her, then I will do my best to get reactions from her and make her feel whatever I want.

But, if I am in the mood to leave things to her hands, then I would simply leave it. When I am with her, this pride of mine can become slightly tame for a reason I don't exactly know.

"Do you want to get your payment now?" I asked, feeling her lips trailing along my neck in a maddeningly seductive path.

"No." Her voice was a sultry whisper, the desire in her eyes mirroring the heat that coursed through my veins.

"Then-"

"Do I need to use my reward to experience this with you?" Her voice dripped with playful sensuality as she traced her fingers along my jawline, her gaze a challenge that only fueled the fire between us.

"Haha... Right, you definitely don't," I replied, a grin tugging at the corners of my lips. No matter what, Aliya was a girl who was definitely constantly learning, regardless of what the subject was.

'It seems she picked up quite a lot of things from me.' I thought, seeing the way she acted. The way she played around with her words, the way she wanted to show her desire to me by acting in such a manner.

"Exactly," she murmured, her breath mingling with mine in the charged space between us.

SMOOCH SMOOCH SMOOCH

The kisses kept going as she lowered her head, trying to open my academy uniform. I could see she really wanted to rip it, but with her strength, it was impossible to destroy it.no.VeLUSB-c-O(M

"Slow down; I am not going anywhere," I said with a smile. Seeing her with such a desire right now gives me an incredible sense of happiness. Putting my hand on her head, I slowly patted her to make her relax.

"Haaah.....Haaaah..... You know, I can't slow down, right? It has been a while." She replied, her breath rugged.

"I know. Do you think it is easy for me? I am really trying hard not to pounce on you right now?"

"Then, Haah.....Haaah....Why are you not doing it?" Her question was punctuated by ragged breaths, her need evident.

"Because I want to let you have some fun. It is kind of hypocritical to leave you here to do all that work and spend time with another girl, isn't it?" When I spoke those words with a knowing smile, I could see Aliya's expression shifting.

If it contained a desire before, now it contained a slight anger and longing. It was different.

"So you knew how I felt," she said, her voice a blend of accusation and vulnerability.

"Of course. Do you think I am an insensitive bastard who only thinks with his lower head?" I responded softly, my fingers tracing the line of her jaw in a gentle caress.

"....."

There was a pause, a moment of quiet understanding that passed between us. The atmosphere was heavy with unspoken emotions, and I took the opportunity to address them.

"It was hard for you, wasn't it?" I continued, my touch tender as I cupped her cheek. "You wondered if my heart had changed if I might leave you behind when I returned. You were afraid I might choose someone else, like Diana."

My words hung in the air, a vulnerable confession of the fears and doubts that had plagued her. As I spoke, my thumb brushed against her lower lip, a gesture both soothing and intimate.

I could see her eyes tearing a little at my words as if I nailed the mark.

In fact, I probably did.

You need to know that even though Aliya was a villainess in the game, I encountered her before she had experienced the reason to become the villainess. Therefore, she was actually on the normal side of people in terms of thinking processes.

And, what would you think when the person you love goes on a trip with a person of the opposite gender who has a clear interest in them, even if she was his sister?

Do you think it is easy to allow such things? No matter how much trust you have, it is impossible to stop your brain from thinking about all those things.

And in the end, all those things will pile up one by one, and then it will end up eating the person from inside.

Therefore, those things need to be addressed as fast as possible. You need to erase those worries.

"...."

There was a soft tremor in her body, and I knew that my words had struck a chord. Sensing her vulnerability, I lowered my head slowly, my lips hovering close to her ear.

"Aliya," I whispered, the sound barely more than a breath against her skin.

FLINCH

She flinched, her reaction an affirmation of the emotions that had been stirred within her.

"How do you know me so well?" Her voice was a quiet murmur, a plea for validation.

A small, affectionate smile tugged at the corner of my lips. "Because I've been paying attention. Because I care about you more than you realize. Do you want me to start saying all those things again?"

Hearing my response, her bright green eyes were raised. Her eyes were slightly teary, but I could see a clearness in them.

In fact, the blush on her cheeks and the crimson color of her ears showed that she was actually slightly embarrassed.

Knowing that all those times I had listed the things I loved from her, it was a response that I was familiar with.

It seemed my words were slightly enough to soothe her and make her feel safe. But that was not enough.

"Aliya, listen to me carefully," I said, my voice low and determined. There was an intensity in my gaze as I looked into her eyes, a mixture of sincerity and a touch of obsession.

My fingers gently trailed down her neck, my touch lingering on the sensitive skin beneath her collarbone. An immense amount of desire to revert our positions and push to the wall came from my heart, and this time, I simply obeyed it.

THUD

Immediately reversing our positions, I pushed her to the wall from her waist with my other hand and looked into her eyes.

"This will be the last time I am saying this to you, and make sure you never forget those words."

Saying that, I cupped both hands above her head, putting her in a position where she could not escape.

"Haaah...." I could see her flushed breath as she looked into my eyes.

"You won't ever have the choice to leave my side, even if you wanted to. I won't allow it. No matter what comes our way, I won't let you face it alone."

I pressed my forehead against hers, our breaths mingling in the charged air.

"You belong to me, and I won't ever release my hold."
