"Tell me something, Sable... What did you feel that day when I fucked you in front of Maximus near the pool?"
?!
He could see her ears twitching nervously.
That statement was a lie, of course.
He hadn't fucked Sable at all.
That day, he had only fingered her, but he was asking this because he'd had a bad premonition these past few days.
Either he was right in his intuition, or he was really becoming paranoid.
But his thoughts were clear—at least, that's what he believed.
"Th-that was...uh..."
He could see her stammering, trying to recall if it had happened or not.
Her whole demeanor had changed.
A moment ago, she was an extremely horny and sensual woman who wanted his dick, and now she looked like she had amnesia and social anxiety.
"I...uh...I—"
"Cough~ Cough~"
Suddenly, Alice coughed in her sleep and started to stir, like she would wake up any minute.
Her hand patted the spot next to her, seemingly searching for him.
?!
Kaisen's eyes widened. Here he was with Sable, who was buck naked with her hands on his dick.
If Alice were to see this now, she would certainly kill him.
"Shit," he muttered under his breath. "Sable, let go."
Sable, confused and flustered, released him, her eyes darting nervously.
Kaisen quickly grabbed the tunic from the ground and threw it over Sable, then slid back into his spot next to Alice just as she began to open her eyes.
"Kaisen-kun...?"
Alice murmured sleepily.
She had laughed it off, saying she was just testing them. But what if she had seen something there?
'But if it was something deadly, she would have at least told us, right? Why hide crucial information if you know the thing you saw is deadly for the whole crew?'
He hated Maximus for that. The guy still hadn't told him what this Night Shade was. Despite questioning him so many times, he had never gotten the truth.
'I should ask him again tomorrow. If he doesn't cooperate, I should do something to make him talk.'
Speaking of Maximus, he suddenly remembered that day—the day he had made Maximus a cuck.
'His emotions must have gone through a significant change then, right? Wouldn't he also be corrupted if that were the case?'
But Maximus hadn't changed at all. Kaisen could have identified if the knight had changed; it would have been fairly simple.
The changes in the women were indeed very noticeable.
'Is it some gender-specific thing or something?'
The more he thought about it, the more lost he felt.
'Was finding out her fiancé is a cuck Sable's breaking point, allowing the forest or Night Shade to corrupt her? Dammit.'
He opened his eyelid and peeked at the supposed watcher, shocked to see the woman sitting on the ground.
Her legs were spread apart, and both of her hands were on her pussy, fingers furiously rubbing her clitoris as she moaned and groaned.
'What the fuck is wrong with you?'
Her eyes were closed in pure bliss, her breasts heaving as she took heavy breaths.
'What the hell is this, seriously?'
He had to admit, she looked incredibly sexy, and watching her touch herself was undeniably arousing, but... this was so unlike Sable.
This was unlike the Sable he knew. His worry was a storm cloud growing darker by the minute.
He knew he should talk to her about it, but finding the right words felt like trying to catch smoke with his bare hands.
'I need to find a way to handle this delicately.'
He slowly lifted Alice's tunic, revealing her smooth skin as he spread her ass cheeks. Pulling out his cock, he nestled it between her soft, bubbly cheeks, feeling the warmth of her body.
He could have sworn he felt a sudden shudder from her, almost as if she were awake. But checking her breathing, she seemed to be deep in sleep.
Unable to resist, he reached forward and grabbed her breasts, squeezing them gently.
The sensation sent a thrill through him, and he held her close, savoring the feeling of her body against his.
And like that, he drifted into sleep, wrapped in the heat of Alice's body.
