Chapter 241: Will you feel at ease if someone else were by your side…?

Chapter 241: Will you feel at ease if someone else were by your side…?

Mark opened one of the spare rooms, which was surprisingly in good condition and available for immediate use.

They just needed to take out the sheets and it was ready.

Leo stayed with Damian to work on their assignments, Alice’s assignment included.

Leo didn’t exactly need anyone to help him with assignments.

He had the brain of a system, after all.

And even if it was a bit different from A.I.

he was still smarter than humans.

So, the reason he was doing his assignment with Damian, even if he could do it alone, was because he just wanted company.

Alice was always sleeping when he was doing their assignments, not that he was complaining.

After all, what good would she do if she were awake?

He could only expect to get delayed an hour or two thanks to her distractions.

Well, at least with this he could keep Damian occupied.

“Thanks for the shirt, by the way.” Damian said, suddenly stopping in his work.

“Oh, they’re not mine.” Leo answered, refusing to raise his head from his work.

“You should thank Mark later.” “Oh, I see.” He exclaimed and went back to his work.

‘But I find it odd, though.

Why today, of all days, does Alice choose not to sleep early?’ he wondered and then paused writing.

‘I wonder.’ Downstairs Alice was in the kitchen doing the dishes with Mark.

Something you don’t see every day.

Mark stole subtle glances at her from time to time and she noticed it, every last one of them but she chose to stay quiet till they were almost done when she asked, “Why have you been stealing glances?” “Ah, you noticed.” “Wouldn’t it be weird if I didn’t notice?” She asked and started rinsing her hands.

“At one point, it almost felt like you wanted me to notice.” “Well, I just find it odd.” He said.

“You’re usually fast asleep by this time but you’re down here, helping me with the dishes.” “Ah, don’t make me out to be a lazy freeloader.” She mumbled with pouted lips.

“I don’t do anything because you usually don’t let me do them.

And I feel so tired of everything that I decide to go to bed as soon as I can.

You know how much I love my sleep.” “And that is why I am trying to understand why you aren’t in bed right now.” He dropped the last plate and started rinsing his own hand.

“Well, you were certainly not going to find that answer by staring at my face.” She said.

“And it’s nothing grand.

I just feel too far from Leo right now, so I can’t sleep yet.

If he’s near, I feel more relieved and sleep faster.” Hearing that, Mark slightly flinched.

Ah, he was jealous.

Leo still held even that privilege.

He was the one who could help her have a peaceful sleep.

Without his presence, she wasn’t at ease.

What an honor?

That was Mark’s interpretation of her words and though not wrong, it made him even more jealous and he gave in by asking, “Is it just Leo?” “What?” Alice stared at him, confused.

“Will you feel at ease if someone else were by your side while you slept?

Someone besides Leo?” Mark asked and Alice stayed silent, trying to figure it out.

Well, she never thought about it because it was always Leo but maybe.

“Well, I don’t know.” She answered.

“But Leo mostly resides in my consciousness so even if I don’t see him physically, I have to feel him in me.

So, unless he’s there, I don’t think it’ll work out with anyone else.” Mark clenched his fists.

They trembled and Alice looked at them, wondering what was suddenly getting him worked up.

But shortly after, he let go of his clenched fists and then smiled at Alice, “Alice,” “Yeah?” “Can I get a kiss?” He suddenly asked and though Alice did not expect it, she went right ahead with it.

“Sure.” She said and he slowly leaned in.

She had told them that kissing was not a big deal and that she could do it with either of them.

If he knew it was as easy as she said it, he would’ve gone right ahead and asked for a kiss sooner.

But he decided to be rational and not let his desires get the best of him.

If he did then he would only fall deep into depravity when Alice did not give him what he wanted.

For now, he would only satisfy a tiny bit of greed in his heart and dare to covet her lips.

Gently and softly, with one hand wrapped around her waist and the other hand placed firmly at the back of her neck, he kissed her.

Alice was short of breath and the kiss, like last time, began to overwhelm her.

Her heart raced and her senses heightened.

She could feel the blood rushing through her veins down to her fingertips, and maybe it was rushing too fast because it made her unable to reason properly or even think of anything till Mark broke the kiss.

She tried to catch her breath and looked up at him, making him quite excited.

That disheveled look of hers was enough to make him run mad so he turned away.

“I’m sorry I took it too far.” He apologized but did not dare to face her.

He took her breath away with his rushed kiss.

But Alice shook her head and watched him walk away without saying a word as she was still trying to wrap her fingers around her own situation.

He didn’t take it too far.

Instead, she was the one who was weak to a kiss.

Ah, the plant.

Just above her navel, she could feel it.

That growing sensation and roots crawling about, trying to find the perfect spot to Mark as their fertile soil.

‘Leo,’ Alice called telepathically and Leo caught on where he was.

‘I feel it.

It’s…

Here.’ Leo appeared right in front of her and saw how dazed her expression was.

He looked back but did not find Mark.

“Did you kiss Mark again?” He asked her but she didn’t respond.

She was so caught up with the assimilation of the plant growing inside her that she just wanted him to locate it before it disappeared again.

She raised her shirt just high enough and then said, “It’s there, can you see it?

The plant.” As soon as Leo laid his eyes on it, his eyes widened.

“This is…” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, time to see the plant And I feel there’s a lot of errors here and there in the chapters to come so if you see anyone, please don’t hesitate to point it out, thank you
