Chapter 212 : I also love...
"If every time you need to take a step, you turn to look at what others are doing before taking that step, you will only fall behind," Alex remarked as he continued to stroke Anna's hair with a light smile on his face.
'Damn, that sounded wise,' he thought to himself a moment later.
Anna was nodding her head when suddenly, she tensed up and abruptly turned her head to stare at Alex before apologizing, "I'm sorry!"
"Ehh, for what?" Alex wondered with a puzzled expression.
"It's just that I'm here, saying that it's frustrating being at level 3 after decades, yet you..." Anna's words trailed off.
She didn't need to continue as Alex already realized what she meant.
What she was referring to was the fact that Alex, unlike her, had spent more than forty years not just leveling up at a snail's pace, but utterly incapable of even leveling up to level 2.
When she thought about it, Anna realized she had been insensitive. If they were to talk about frustration, she couldn't even be compared to him.
"Hah, don't worry about that," Alex smirked, "I'm no longer at level 1, am I?"
"Still, it wasn't thoughtful of me to-"
"As I said, don't worry about it. Plus, I understand how you feel; it's really frustrating not feeling any improvement in one's strength even after a long time of training."
Anna meekly nodded.
"That's why I will also help you get stronger," Alex announced.
"Huh? How?" Anna wondered.
"I don't have something specific in mind right now, but I will definitely find a way to boost your strength, not just yours, but that of our entire family," Alex promised.
Alex had no interest in growing stronger alone. He wanted his wives and those closest to him to also become powerhouses of their own. At least in this case, he wouldn't need to worry about their safety, knowing that they could defend themselves, unlike the current situation.
'Come to think of it, can I increase the strength of the members of my harem through the system?' Alex pondered.
Logically, such a thing should be possible. If he could become powerful by being with them and even copy their abilities, then by the same token, the opposite should be possible.
Unfortunately for Alex, the system's response shattered his hopes.
[It isn't possible. You are the carrier of the sin of lust, not them.]
'It's unfortunate,' Alex sighed in dejection.
"Why the long face?" Anna inquired, noticing Alex's sudden change in expression.
"I was wondering if I could increase your strength with the help of... you know what, but it seems to not be possible," Alex divulged.
"Oh, I see."
Meanwhile, his hands moved all over her body, skillfully caressing her sensual and mesmerizing body.
Despite the fact that he has already got the chance to explore Anna's body, Alex still marveled at how perfect her figure was.
"Let's get rid of these clothes," Alex whispered seductively to Anna's, the heat of his breath sending an electrifying jolt down Anna's spine.
"Wait," Anna suddenly called out.
"Just so you know, we are going all the way," Alex remarked, his voice tinged with desire and anticipation.
After having to suppress himself for so long, he had no intention to stop in the midway through of another intimate session.
"I just stopped you so I can activate my ability," Anna explained with a mischievous grin. "Now, no one can see us~"
'I sincerely doubt that's the case with Grace lurking around here,' Alex thought.
Anna's ability might conceal her presence and that of people in direct contact with her, but it only works against individuals up to one level above hers. Beyond that, she might appear as clear as day, visible to anyone paying attention.
Alex was about to exhale his smoke to cover the two of them when he decided against doing so.
He doubted Grace would be spying on them, but even if she was, where was the problem? She would only come to realize what she missed when she decided to stop him earlier.
"Now, let's get you out of this dress," Alex smirked playfully.
"I thought you said you liked it this morning?" Anna questioned with squinted eyes.
"Oh, I do like it... especially when it's off of your body," Alex remarked, his voice tinged with desire.
Delicately, Alex's hands worked to remove Anna from her tight-fitting dress. As each inch of fabric was peeled away, more of Anna's smooth, white skin was unveiled, and with each reveal, Alex's arousal grew stronger.
With a swift gesture, Alex effortlessly whisked Anna's dress off her body and threw it aside.
Jiggle jiggle
Anna's breasts bounced up and down, dancing freely like bouncing balls.
"Did you have to throw it this far?" Anna's lips twitched.
"Forget about it, I'll retrieve it later," Alex reassured her. "Instead, come here, turn around."
Anna giggled playfully and swiftly turned around, settling herself onto Alex's lap, her smiling face tinged with a blush.
As soon as Anna's two bouncing breasts came into view, Alex couldn't stop himself from placing his hands on them, a silly grin spreading across his face.
"They're as magnificent as I remember them," Alex complimented as he gently squeezed Anna's breasts.
"Are my breasts the only things you like about me?" Anna inquired, her lips forming a pout.
"Of course not, my love," Alex reassured as his hand lightly caressed Anna's face. "I also love that big, soft ass of yours."
