Villain Ch 1464. Three Shades Redder

“Oh no,” he whispered, dread and embarrassment flooding his system in equal measure.

He quickly reached down and yanked the bag closed, his cheeks heating up instantly. Allen stood frozen for a second, painfully aware of Azura’s amused curiosity. How in the world had it opened? He vividly remembered securing it before leaving Shea’s place.

His mind scrambled through the memories from earlier. Breakfast, coffee, Emma teasing him mercilessly—and suddenly, the puzzle clicked painfully into place. Emma. The realization made him grimace, his jaw tightening.

“Emma…” Allen groaned softly, rubbing his forehead in frustration. He could practically see her mischievous grin, those sparkling eyes filled with gleeful delight.

Azura tilted her head curiously, still staring at him with a subtle mix of amusement and confusion. “Allen, are you okay? Your face just turned three shades redder.”

Allen cleared his throat awkwardly, desperately trying to maintain a composed expression, though his face felt like it was on fire. “Uh, yeah. Just… pretend you didn’t see anything, alright?”

Azura’s lips twitched slightly, her curiosity clearly piqued as she leaned forward a bit more, eyes sparkling with newfound interest. “Wait, wait—Allen, is that… What do I think it is? Like… a harness belt?”

Allen tried to chuckle casually, but it came out sounding strained and half-choked. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, forcing a shaky smile. “Kinda.”

Azura’s delicate brows shot up, surprise and a hint of intrigue openly written on her face. “Wait. Is it… yours? I mean—” she stumbled slightly over her words, cheeks turning visibly pink, “—did you actually wear that last night?”

Allen cringed inwardly, though outwardly he just nodded sheepishly, an embarrassed grin spreading across his face. He never imagined he’d be discussing something like this with Azura. “Uh, yeah. I did.”

Azura’s blush deepened considerably, her eyes widening briefly as her imagination inevitably filled in the gaps. A vivid image flashed involuntarily through her mind—Allen, wearing that sleek, black leather harness, the straps tight across his muscular frame. Her pulse quickened subtly, and she felt her cheeks grow even warmer.

She quickly looked away, suddenly fascinated by the tablecloth. “Oh… I see.”

Allen winced slightly, rubbing his temples. Of all people, why did it have to be Azura seeing something like this? He’d been hoping to keep at least some semblance of dignity in front of her. “Listen, Azura, I swear it’s not usually this—” he paused, fumbling for the right word, “—weird.”

Azura laughed softly, shyly tucking a lock of her silver hair behind her ear. Despite her embarrassment, she felt oddly pleased that Allen had shown this more playful, more sensual side—something she’d never expected. “No, no—it’s fine, Allen. Honestly. I was just… surprised.”

Allen chuckled weakly, still feeling utterly mortified. “Yeah, I can imagine.”

An awkward but warm silence settled briefly between them, both trying not to meet each other’s gaze, until Azura’s eyes landed on something dark lying inconspicuously near Allen’s feet. Her eyebrows knit together curiously as she pointed, voice hesitant. “Allen… um, those gloves—are they yours too?”

Allen’s heart leaped into his throat as he looked down sharply. Sure enough, a pair of sleek black gloves—part of his ensemble from last night—lay casually on the marble floor beside his shoe. He cursed inwardly, quickly reaching down to snatch them up and stuffing them hurriedly into his bag.

“Yeah,” he muttered, cheeks flaming even hotter. “Must’ve fallen out.”

Azura bit her lower lip lightly, trying hard to suppress her laughter as she imagined Allen wearing those gloves paired with the harness. Somehow, her embarrassment turned swiftly into curiosity—and intrigue. Allen had suddenly become someone entirely more fascinating. She couldn’t deny the sudden thrill that rushed through her veins at the unexpected thought.

“You wore those gloves too?” she asked softly, voice filled with curiosity she couldn’t quite hide.

Allen sighed dramatically, giving in to the humiliation with a defeated chuckle. “Yeah. I wore gloves too. It… matched.”

Azura giggled softly, finally meeting his eyes again, her expression equal parts shy and mischievous. “You know, Allen, I never pictured you as someone who’d wear something like that.”

Allen raised a brow, managing a faint smirk despite his lingering embarrassment. “Is that good or bad?”

She laughed again, her cheeks rosy, her voice gentle and warm. “Definitely good. Just… surprising.”

Allen relaxed slightly, noticing her genuine amusement. Perhaps this wasn’t the disaster he’d feared. He shook his head, smiling faintly. “Honestly, Azura, if you’d told me two years ago that I’d ever wear something like this, I’d have laughed.”

Azura’s eyes softened as she leaned slightly toward him, her curiosity giving way to genuine affection. “I guess you’ve changed more than I thought.”

Allen chuckled softly, his embarrassment finally fading. “Yeah. I suppose I have.”

Azura tilted her head again, eyes sparkling gently. “But it’s a good change. You seem more… free now.”

Allen blinked thoughtfully, her words resonating inside him. She was right. Despite the initial embarrassment, he didn’t regret it. He felt freer, happier, more himself than ever. “Yeah, you’re probably right. It feels good to just… be myself.”

Azura smiled warmly, her voice softening even more. “I’m glad, Allen. You deserve to feel happy and confident. You shouldn’t have to hide who you are or what makes you happy.”

Allen smiled, warmth blossoming in his chest. “Thanks, Azura. It means a lot hearing you say that.”

Azura nodded gently, looking down shyly for a moment before peeking back up at him. “And, for the record… it was kind of… sexy. Seeing you flustered, I mean.”

Allen’s cheeks flushed again, though now a pleased smile tugged at his lips. “Sexy, huh? Never thought I’d hear that from you.”

Azura shrugged lightly, trying to appear casual even as her blush deepened. “Well, you might be surprised by the things I think about.”

Allen’s eyes widened slightly, caught off-guard again. “Oh?”

She laughed softly, quickly shaking her head. “Maybe another time. I think I’ve embarrassed you enough today.”

Allen grinned, finally relaxing entirely. “Fair enough. Next time then.”
