BXBX NOVEL Chapter 263: Nothing to discuss [2/2]
"I... do you promise to not get angry?"
I found it charming that my anger was something Liv was afraid of. I kissed her lips as I answered.
"I promise."
"I was originally forced by Lilly to protect her. But I hate the way she hurt you, so I... I kicked her in the face. She's not dead! I t-think?"
Somehow, after gaining some peace, Liv started to show me all kinds of faces. Overwhelmed with love for this woman, I pulled her into my embrace and noticed that her shirt was caught on one of my buttons.
I saw a glimpse of her white skin underneath the fabric. And even though it wasn't flawless, I planted my lips on her midsection and sucked, intending to give her a hickey.
"My love?"
Liv was not uncomfortable with my kiss and lifted her shirt partially to check my actions. When she saw the love bite, she caressed it tenderly.
"I see. Is this how Southern men mark their spouses? Thank you for making me yours."
Feeling Liv's overwhelming affection, I said nothing and kissed her instead.
While I wanted nothing more than to spend such a peaceful time with Liv, the clock was approaching 8:00 PM. And even though I was no longer a Wraith, I had to bring the weapons to the 2nd Amendment.
Tonight was my 2nd to last night before the Seeker War. I needed to earn as much as I could to give myself more options. I stood up while Liv was still in my arms.
"Ah!"
"I'm sorry Liv, I still have a lot to do for tonight. Will you return to my room with me?"
"I will."
The Northerner got off me and switched to her serious mode. I noticed that many people in the lounge were staring at us. It wasn't that I didn't understand, Liv was pretty enough to be a movie actress.
I invoked death resonance and commanded everyone in the immediate vicinity.
"You saw a loving couple flirting, nothing more. Go about your daily lives."
"My love? Why the odd command?"
"I do not want anyone else to see your vulnerable side. That is my right and privilege as your spouse."
Liv then smiled dazzlingly as she rested her face on my shoulder. Since she was taller, it looked like I was her younger brother being spoiled.
"Fufu, such jealousy. But don't worry, I belong to you alone in this life and the next."
Liv and I then took the elevator back to my Penthouse suite. When I opened the door, I heard the Sirens chatting as they relaxed.
"You're just jealous you and the princess didn't get one, Bella. Possum was incredibly gentle."
"If Dearest wishes to exclude me, I will tie him up and give him mine instead."
"They're here. And Liv has one as expected," Jasmine informed her sisters.
"I don't see anything though. Maybe Master really does give them out randomly."
"See? I told you Honey wouldn't exclude me of all people."
"Eh? I was sure Darling would brand us all though."
"It's hidden under her shirt. Husband placed it just above her navel."
"{Imaging}" x6
Liv, suddenly feeling their piercing gaze, abruptly hid behind me. It was endearing to see her like that. And I wasn't the only one who thought like this.
"Kya! Liv is too cute! Jas, take a video quickly!"
"Heeh, Possum can turn even Liv into a kitten, huh?"
"Master's love is overwhelming, it was inevitable."
Lilly rose gracefully from her seat and then approached me for a sultry kiss. She then hugged me, exposing her neck.
Pleased with Lilly's childishness, I licked her beautiful neckline before giving her a hickey. She moaned in pleasure as she held me tighter.
Liv took this moment to separate from me and join the others. After I finished my deed, Lilly gave me a quick peck before commenting.
"Such a shame, I cannot see it. If only there was a way to get a picture."
"Shall I give you another one then? In a place where everyone can see?" I said as I ran my finger along her cleavage.
Lilly pulled away from me and covered her chest. Her expression was a mixture of disbelief and anticipation. Before I could say another word. Bella stepped forward and held her hand out in front of me.
"Honey, we still haven't talked about the Seeker war."
I took Bella's hand and kissed it. Even though I know she tried to pretend she didn't want one, I pulled her into my embrace and went for her neck like a vampire. With little resistance, I made my seventh and final love bite for the night.
Bella looked at me with glassy eyes as if intoxicated. I gave her a quick kiss as I replied.
"There is nothing to discuss, I will go alone."
The room went cold at my words. Even Bella in my arms made a face like she was angry.
"Dearest, I hope you are joking."
"Darling, you already know we can fight very well."
"Husband, explain."
"Master, I am going with you."
"Possum, you will have to kill me if you want to go alone."
"My love, do you intend to make me a widow already?"
"So they say, honey. Do you have an explanation before my sisters and I tear you a new one?"
I somehow expected their resistance, and I knew logically that I'd benefit from having them by my side. But if something happened to one of them, I might go crazy.
"You all insist on going? No matter what I say?" I asked.
"Yes." x7
I didn't even have to ask why.
It was because they loved me.
Just as I would do anything for them, they felt the same way. So now we were at an impasse.
'Should I suppress their opinions for my own, or should I allow them to accompany me,' I thought inwardly.
I have made great promises to my harem, but if I die, none of that will matter. The moment I allowed them to join me, there was now a possibility that one of them would not return.
'Hmm, what to do?'
