Chapter 268 Jealousy Met With Satisfaction

"Lumina?!" Nix got to his feet.

Lumina stood frozen when she realized it looked like she had interrupted something.

Fegan tilted his head in confusion, wondering why she had barged in when Alex had almost gone along with the deal.

"What business do you have here?!" He yelled in anger when it looked more like her target wasn't Alex but rather Nix.

"Please, leave my daughter's room!" He spat and was held back by Alex.

"Sir it's alright, she's my friend. There is no way she would pose a threat to anyone." He consoled and massaged the man.

Fegan still had his eyes focused on Lumina until she felt too uncomfortable to stay.

Turning around, she left the room with Nix rushing out to catch up to her.

Grabbing her wrist before she could rush down the stairs, he pulled her towards him and into a hug.

Lumina felt engulfed in Nix's arms and her anger subsided drastically.

Pushing on his chest, she looked around to make sure they weren't watched by the others before she spoke.

"What are you doing in there?" She hissed and gave a pout.

Nix's lips raised at her actions, and he couldn't help but feel amused by her actions, "are you jealous?"

Lumina did a double take, slapping him playfully on the chest. "Like I would feel that!"

Nix made several steps in advancement, forcing her to take steps back to maintain the distance between them.

Caught at the dead end and her back against the wall, she felt trapped.

"Nix, what are you–" her voice hitched when she felt his breath fan her face and a smug look on his face.

Her timid action toward his advancement could only confirm his suspicions.

Placing his hand on the side of her face, his grin obvious, and locked his gaze with her. "Did you feel a bit threatened?"

Unable to think rationally with their proximity, she nodded her head and caught Nix's eyes glued to her lips.

Pleased with her answer, he cupped her face and took her lips in his with a light kiss.

He had wanted to pull away but was brought back to her lips when she pulled him in for another sensual kiss and her arms around his neck.

Watching from below were Solis, Lank, Gia, and Lotus who had their mouths gaped open in shock.

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Solis pointed at the couple who had been so engrossed in each other to notice their presence below.

Lank had his hand raised to obscure Gia from watching the two make out in the open.

Lotus recovered from her shock and had a grin on her face, making her climbing plants make a net and obscure their vision.

"Hey!" Solis protested, eager to understand human interaction with the opposite sex.

"They could use a bit of privacy, don't you think?" Lotus wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at the others.

Gia pulled Lank's hand down and laughed at how protective he was of her, pulling him so he could hear her whisper some words to him.

"Remember I am as innocent as you treat me, you should know that." Gia reminded him and released her grip on him and pouted.

Lank's face had heated up and his pale skin had temporarily turned pink with her words. 'Right, I did that.'

Lotus got to her feet, "if that's all, I'd be taking my leave to the garden."

Whistling, she walked away while humming a tune.

Solis had wanted to speak on what they had just witnessed but heard a moan and smooching sounds tear his attention from his little idea.

"What the hell?! Were they that deprived of physical activity?!" Solis whispers to the two who sit awkwardly as the sounds bring memories of their moment.

Lank gulped and tried to bottle up his emotions, but once he got to his breaking point, he let out a yell to get their attention.

Nix had himself nestled in between Lumina's thighs. His erection pressed onto her crotch.

"So help me if I do not come there to break up the moment you two are using to oppress innocent ones here!!" Lank barked when he realized they had still not paid attention to him even with his initial protest.

Nix pulled away and stared at Lumina's unbuttoned pink top which had revealed her pink lace bra firmly cupping her bust.

Hah!

Hah!

Nix had his cheeks stained red and his temperature heated, his chest-thumping wildly as he was perplexed by what had happened to both of them when they were unable to take their hands away from each other.

'What the hell happened?' He thought in a daze, getting to his feet in a rush.

Lumina had finally snapped out of the lustful spell and was also left stunned. In a rush, she pulled her unbuttoned top with her hands and tried to hide her exposed bra, and pushed back.

"Nix, what was that?!" She whispered in worry, looking down at the interwoven vines that served as an obstruction from the others below.

Pushing back his hair and letting out a light chuckle, he deduced what had happened and had his passive gift slash through the obstruction.

'That sly plant creation of mine!' He internally facepalmed.

The obstruction was merely a ruse to Lotus' real plans that had a colorless gas diffuse from its stems and influence their lust for one another.

He shook out the thought of actually engaging with Lumina right there with the possibility of Fegan or Alex coming out from Hana's room or worse still the others coming up to check on them.

'Lank, you're a lifesaver!' He smiled and offered his hand to Lumina.

Lumina had just fixed the last button on her top and took his hand to get up from the floor.

Nix had sensed her hesitation at the onset and couldn't let that slide so before she pulled her hands away after getting up, he pulled her close to him like he had done the first time.

She let out a gasp and had her hands on his chest, unable to tear her gaze away from him.

"Nix, what are you doing? They are watching." She whispered through the corner of her lips and subtly nodded in the direction of the others down the stairs.

Nix didn't bother looking down at her gesture and pretended they weren't existent, who he wanted to speak to was Lumina and that was what he was going to do.

Leaning forward so her bust pressed onto him, he smiled at the feeling but immediately brought his attention to what he had wanted to whisper in her ear.

"As much as we were a bit influenced to do what went between the two of us, I don't regret any moment..."

Lumina's heart thumped at the fluttering and flattering words, her muscles eased and she let out an involuntary giggle to his words.

Lank had his mouth gaped open in disbelief at being ignored so well by the two and the fact that they had pretended like nothing had gone wrong and were flirting with each other?!

Gia pulled Lank to sit and had a wry smile.

"I think it's going to be sealed this time around, just look at them. They've held out long enough, don't you think?" She whispered to Lank.

Lank's heart warmed at the observation of Gia and finally understood her point of view.

"It would seem like that, huh?" He said with a sigh.

Solis slouched on the chair and refused to look in their direction. 'I refuse to be influenced.'

Nix had accepted his feelings for Lumina and was ready to take things a bit further.

"How about we take things a bit further when we are alone?" Nix's hoarse voice tickled her ears.

Gasp!

She felt warm in her stomach and her knees went weak at the meaning he was gaining on. "Really?"

When he nodded his head, she squealed in delight and kissed him on the lips. "I'll hold you accountable for your words!"

Nix let out a chuckle and smiled, "sure, but could I get back to the room? There are some things to be attended to."

Lumina bopped her head and pulled away, "I'd go distract myself with something at our disposal as I await your return."

Pulling away from him, and watching Nix walk back into the room, she had a big smile the whole time.

Click!

'Alright! It's time to build for myself a bundle of distraction!' Lumina nodded her head and rushed down the stairs and waved at the three sitting and trying to avoid eye contact.

Lank shifted uneasily in his place and cleared his throat.

"Where's Miss Lotus?" Lumina questioned as she looked around for the possible routes that must have been taken.

"She could stand the f–"

Nudged in the rib by Gia before he could complete his sentence, he quickly corrected his words when he was given a glare.

"Miss Lotus? She was a bit bored with our lame jokes and had to leave to tend to her flowers, lucky her." Lank couldn't help but show his feelings about the situation.
