414 7.38 – Victor’s Feelings Are Genuine But Shorttermed – War Of The Wickeds

Victor could be attracted to more than one person at the same time. He bet many went through the same situation as him at some point in their life but would never dare to admit it.

He didn’t want to be added on the same page as the usual cheating bastards one would often stumble upon their lives. He didn’t like the idea of breaking the heart of someone he cared for without much cause or warning either, but feelings couldn’t be forced – his were mostly genuine but short-termed.

He would have stopped bothering to even stay loyal until his death if it wasn’t for his missions and his moral compass. Since he didn’t have to do any more missions, he became quite unrestrained in his behaviour... a bit lost might he add.

Picking up Elera Mai, Victor let her wrap her legs around his torso as he pushed the doors to the toilet open, and marched towards one of the empty cubicles. He would make her feel good like nobody else had ever done as compensation for being his temporary relief. There was no doubt that she was an exceptional woman, and it would have been great if these feelings he currently carried would last forever.

Elera felt like she would be eaten alive right here and now. His eyes reflected obsession; the only thing they could see now was her, and her only. The force he used to trap her was rather too strong. His hands were all over her body, pushing her against the wall with precisely calculated strength, he made her legs go weak, “Ngh...ah.”

There was something within the way he was so desperate to become one with her, yet still held back, that took her breath away. He kissed her impatiently but oh so skillfully. It was like he was in love with her in that particular instance, and Elera surrendered herself freely to that fleeting moment. When his lips moved down to her neck, she murmured breathlessly, “Does it make us friends with benefits now?”

Victor stopped abruptly. Elera got a glimpse of what seemed to be a tint of hurt in his eyes. Friends with benefits meant there would be no romance, no dates, and no commitment. There would be only sex. Did she hurt his feelings?

Victor supported her body up and straightened the wrinkles on her dress. Seeing how he tore up the thin piece of fabric, he took off his jacket and placed it over her shoulder, “Let’s go,” he grabbed her wrist, “I don’t want your first time to be in the public restrooms.”

Elera suddenly wanted to know more about this mysterious, young master. He definitely had some deep secret for her to uncover, “I want to be a top for my first time,” she announced with a smug smirk.

.....

“...” Just don’t tell him her definition of the top was only to ride on top of him. Victor was an experienced veteran in his field of work, and sometimes it was better to be quiet and show a quiet frown to fill up her little ego, to make her think that she had the upper hand rather than trying to embarrass her.

He used this tactic often. Even on the host who occupied Olivia (Bing Shi), he would pretend that he was hiding his killing intent and act surprised when she figured him out. The problem was, he could never find out the type of men she liked. He tried all of his masks on her, and would always end up as the highest grade of scum. Don’t tell him those were her preferences, because that would be too messed up even for him to accept.

Maybe it wasn’t such a bad choice that he picked that host’s soul on a whim. She could raise his interest above the shore one moment then sink it below the sea the other, literally – high, then bottom low, then high, and then bottom lowest like a periodic graph, which reflected his love life in the oddest way.

{“Nora, did Silvia receive my gift?”}

{Not yet.}

Victor always envied men like Damon, who could love one person with the same passion and devotion for eternity. But it was impossible for the HQ to grant such a wish. They could only move him from one world to another until he found the ‘right’ person.

He wouldn’t be able to look at the face of one of his past lovers the same again. It was a shame, truly. None of them was a simple individual, yet he couldn’t imagine being stuck with them forever. And that’s why he never used his wish on any of his exes.

Victor knew the types of women and men he loved the most would never desire the true him. That’s why ho wore a mask of a man from their deepest fantasies. Those masks were also an integrated part of him. They were here to hide the devil in his heart, which made him hate the way he was born.

“I have to go out,” Ziek said the moment Baby Shiro warned him about the situation on Ezikiel’s side.

Bing Shi immediately readied herself up, “I’m going too.”

“Wait,” Lu Kai pressed her shoulders against the bed in order to stop her. Using his power, he checked the situation on where she would appear once she left this space. Silvia was currently making out with a delta from the elite class, so he had no idea why she would want to go out, “Do you plan to do something about Silvia’s promiscuous ways?”

“No?” having her upper body pressed against the bed, Bing Shi stretched her legs on the bed, “If me, Riley and Elera could use our seduction and charming skills to our advantage all the time, why couldn’t she? I can jump into a tub of bleach if it will make you feel better.”

“Actually...No, it’s fine.” Out of all things she could retain from Dai An, it had to be this radical type of dark humour?
