Chapter 326 326 I mean. . .maybe. . .
With a sharp cry of surprise, Nora jumped backwards- staring in shock as a figure crept out from under the table!
Her jaw dropped- exclaiming;
"WHAT IN THE WORLD–!"
On all fours, with her hair tied up in a neat bun, the huddled figure of Crystal's voluptuous body emerged. Innocently, she lifted her head up, eyes bereft of any kind of mischief;
"Lady Nora- I thought I heard you there. . .hello. . ."
In the blonde's eyes- confusion streaked past in flashing arcs.
"What-" her cracked voice broke; "W-w-what were you doing under the table-e-e???"
As her brain jostled for a plausible answer, the succubus pretended to take her time- hooking her palms on the edge of the empty chair, and pulling herself upwards. Her long down flowed as she straightened her posture into an upright stand;
"Oh," she began innocently; "My lord's been looking for a pack of coffee beans he lost. . .he thinks it fell out of his pocket, so I had to sweep through to find it."
"Did you find it–" Nora asked quietly; "–under the table?"
Holding her gaze, as she wuped her hands against each other, she answered with an expressionless face;
"I'm afraid not my lady. . ."
At this point, Nexus chipped in-
"It's a very special brew Nora. It's not exactly easy to to get a hold of- especially inCastra city."
"Is that so?" she purred.
"Exactly," Crystal chimed- keeping a straight face, and forcing her eyes into fake worrying curves; "I've searched practically everywhere. . .he's been pretty bummed about losing it. . ."
Nora's narrowed eyes opened up a little- "Oh, so that's what got you all twisted up in bunch? You could've said something you know."
He shrugged- stylishly flattening his erect cock under the table;
"Like I said, it's one of a kind. Once you get a taste of it, you'll understand why."
"No thanks. I don't do juiced up beverages."
Nexus nodded- feigning impressed; "We all have our poisons. Hold on, you didn't happen to see some brown wrap on your way in- did you?"
"No," she shook her head- suspicion still lingering in her eyes; "I mean. . .maybe. . .I'm not sure. . ."
Crystal- unable to help herself, burped embarrassingly.
Immediately, Nexus whirred his head- snapping it in her direction as he shot her a reprimanding look.
The full weight of his wordless rebuke burned into her eyes. And she instantly knew she had fucked up. Before Nora could pick the smell of her semen-flavoured breath, she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head- trying to keep scent from getting to her;
"M'lord, I think I'll go search the entrance to the estate, maybe I'll have some luck there. . ."
A shadow of relief stole across Nexus' face. He nodded curtly-
"Go on then."n(.0velBIn
With that, the succubus took off in a hurried manner- sprinting down the lush carpet grass of the garden- disappearing around the curve of the hedges in a blur of green. Nora's curious eyes trailed the succubus' watching her hurried movements- replaying her cover story in her head.
The blonde girl wasn't stupid.
In her bones, she could feel it- something just wasn't adding up. Seated upright on the chair, at the opposite end of the table- and with both his hands mysteriously under the table, Nexus watched her as she watched Crystal.
"Pardon my manners Nora, please have a seat."
His voice was hoarse- like he hadn't talked in a while moved to break the ice.
She turned her head away from the horizon, landing squarely on the table. Not Nexus- the table;
"Your maid's awfully skittish today Nexus. She is a strange one isn't she. . .?"
lightsnοvεl "Yeah, well, birds of a feather flock together don't they? Come on, don't be a stranger, have a seat."
"In a bit Nexus, in a bit. . ."
The yellow haired girl suddenly bent forward- letting her breasts and hair fall with her. Before Nexus could say Jack, she yanked up the tablecloth!
With his eyes directly in the full glare of the morning sun, his pupils flamed dangerously. Obviously reeling with nervousness, his butt clenched instinctively, as a rushing stream of wild thoughts came thundering in his ears.
"What're you doing?" his voice slurred- with the 'what.'
"Checking to see if she missed anything," she echoed- head turning in slow arcs as she swept through the dark enclave.
"Well," Nexus asked- shifting nervously in his chair- fully aware of his semi-erect cock bulging against his right thigh; "See anything yet? "
Silence followed- a long stretch of paralyzing deafening silence.
"Wait a minute," her voice purred, sinking her knees downwards into the soft green grass.
He held his breath- clutching the wooden arm of the chair in brisk-tight grips, waiting for her verdict. Could she see the swelling of his cock- or the ruffled creases on his pants? Or the knees mark on the ground between his–
"oh-" the disappointment in her voice echoed loud and bright; "-there's nothing here. Literally nothing at all. What did you say she was looking for again?"
"A pack of coffee Nora-" he answered, trying to hide his relief; "It comes in a finger sized takeout cup. . .it's not hard to miss if you know what you're searching for."
The crown of dazzling yellow hair appeared as she bobbed her head up;
"There's nothing here," she repeated again- hoisting herself up as she wiped her hands on the white napkin.
"Oh, well,"
"You don't sound disappointed at all."
"I can't be bummed about everything I lose," he answered diplomatically.
"But you were- literally just a few minutes ago,"
"Nora-" he hissed quietly; "Let it go okay? It's embarrassing enough that you had to see my maid scampering under the table looking for a silly pack of coffee. I hate to be seen fussing over something so trivial. . ."
He deliberately- he let his mouth twist with an embarrassing smile. Slowly, the intense suspicion began to melt out of her face. Seated across the garden table, her eyes softened, and her haughty head dropped lower.
"Of course, I understand."
"Thank you," his tone slipped into a less formal approach; "How've you been? Missing me already?"
Under the swaying leaves of the cherry blossom, her bright blue eyes sparkled in glee;
"Nexus-" she blushed hard- flicking invisible strands of hair away from her forehead; "That's not why I'm here. . ."
The girl was not the blushing type.
She grew up around her father's men- rough, foul mouthed hunters with strong masculine presences. So, she wasn't exactly the type to feel shy around a dude. But, with Nexus' intense black eyes boring into her soul- butterflies scattered in her belly.
"So then," he asked softly- staring at her intently; "If you're not here for me, what are you here for then? The view?"
"Nope," she straightened her back in the chair, assuming a more regal pose; "I'm actually here on an official assignment."
"Official assignment huh?" he smiled, leaning back; "Go on, let me have it."
Across the bright green garden, the sounds of rustling leaves cackled into the air- jostling quietly against each other- bowing to the pull of the sweeping breeze;
"You were present at the meeting the last time,"
"I was- they were all a bunch of assholes in fancy clothes and weird pets. I wasn't impressed."
