Chapter 17: Things really do happen huh...

’That’s it...?

I just needed to have sex and it would have been over?

What the fuck...?’

Lucian cursed.

All this while, he had been thinking about how he was supposed to get used to his new body, control his urges, learn to live with them and whatnot.

But...

All he needed to do was to have sex...?

Ridiculous!

Then what was all his suffering for!?

Sex!

All he needed to do was have sex!

Sex...

And the more he thought about it, the more he complained in his head, the harsher the reality became...

’Well... it’s not like there’s a line of ladies waiting to have sex with me...’

He tried to convince himself.

’Could have paid a prostitute though...’

He muttered inwardly.

But then—

"You seem... fine now."

Just as Lucian was thinking all of this in his head, he heard a voice and his eyes fell on the woman in front of him.

"N-Naomi! Are you alright!?"

He asked in worry as he held her tightly.

"Sss!"

Naomi let out a yelp from pain, Lucian’s hold was too powerful, Lucian realised it and instantly removed his hands.

"I am sorry."

"It’s okay..."

Naomi answered weakly.

Lucian panicked at how weak her voice was.

"Are you really okay? Do you need something?"

He asked.

Naomi chuckled at how fidgety he was.

The strong Lucian who had just pinned her down had completely disappeared.

"A more comfortable place to lie down would be better."

She smiled.

"R-Right!"

Lucian nodded, then he picked her up like a princess, with his strength, she felt as light as a feather. Naomi blinked at how easily he picked her up.

"When did you get so strong?"

She asked.

Lucian however, didn’t answer. He was looking at the blood he saw on her thighs the moment he picked her up.

"You were... a virgin."

He muttered.

And this surprised her because he clearly remembered she told him she was not.

"Why did you lie, Naomi?"

Naomi’s face turned red.

"I..."

She didn’t know what to say.

Why did she lie?

She saw Lucian’s state, she heard what happened at the University, how he snapped at the girls who approached him and distanced himself from them and she connected all the dots.

She realised he was in this state throughout the University, that he had been holding back and once he couldn’t take it any longer, he rushed back home, just to avoid losing control.

So when she saw him like that, when she saw his ragged breathing, his trembling body and the pain he was in...

She lied.

She felt that if she revealed she was a virgin, he wouldn’t have done anything, so she acted bolder than she actually was, even hiding her fear with jokes when she saw how large Lucian’s dick was.

Lucian looked at her, he saw her expression and with his now clear head, he realised it.

"You fool..."

He closed his eyes in disappointment, more at himself than at her. After all, he was the one who put her in that state.

"I am so sorry."

He apologised again.

"I already said it’s okay."

Naomi answered with a genuine smile. Then, her face turned redder as she remembered everything that happened and...

"And... it felt good.

So you don’t have to apologise at all.

I am glad it happened..."

She muttered in a low voice as she avoided Lucian’s eyes.

He froze.

What...?

He couldn’t believe what he just heard.

"Naomi...?"

He called out her name.

Was this... really the same Naomi?

And for the first time in a long, long while, Lucian actually looked at her.

Her face was flushed, her delicate features looked almost ethereal right now, her slightly parted soft lips, long eyelashes, those hazy grey-blue eyes, the long ash-blonde hair cascaded messily over her shoulders and his arm with some damp strands framing her face.

Her full, perfectly shaped breasts rising and falling with every uneven breath. Her slim waist that curved out into generous hips that made him gulp. The soft, feminine swell of her stomach, the gentle thickness of her thighs, the way her body fit so perfectly in his arms.

She...

She was beautiful.

Overwhelmingly beautiful.

"Will you stop looking at me!?"

Naomi’s mouth twitched.

"Sorry!"

"Stop apologising!"

Naomi shouted even louder.

"Now how long are you going to just stand there!? Put me down!"

"R-Right!"

"Not here, you idiot! Take me somewhere more comfortable!

Gosh, you were going to die a virgin..."

She facepalmed.

Lucian’s face turned red, he quickly took her to his room and placed her on his bed. Naomi quickly grabbed the blanket and covered herself with it.

"I-I will put your clothes in the washing machine and clean up a little."

Lucian stuttered as he quickly rushed out.

His mind had calmed down, yes. He no longer had those repulsive urges that he had before, but this situation was still a little too overwhelming for him.

He needed a moment to calm himself.

"O-Okay."

Naomi nodded in a low voice and flushed face.

She needed some time to herself as well.

Lucian hurried out, did everything he said he would, then, about 10 minutes later, he came back with the same food that Naomi had brought for him.

At this point, Naomi too, had cleaned herself up and had hidden herself inside the blanket again.

"You should eat."

Lucian spoke, this time, in a much calmer tone.

"I bought that for you."

"I think you need it more than me."

Lucian grinned shamelessly.

"Pretty sure you must be tired a lot, trust me, I cleaned up, I know."

Naomi’s mouth twitched at those words.

"How did you become even more shameless than I remember?"

"Well, things happen."

Lucian shrugged jokingly, however, Naomi’s face changed when he said that. Lucian paused as well, he knew what she was thinking.

Things really do happen huh...

"I am sorry about uncle and aunt."

Naomi spoke as she lowered her head.

Lucian just nodded, not saying anything. Naomi could tell he didn’t want to talk about it, so she changed the topic.

"What’s with the eyes?"

She asked.

"Hmm?"

Lucian looked at her.

She looked at him and she couldn’t help but frown.

"Your skin looks clearer too and you look more muscular.

Just... what happened...?"

She couldn’t help but question. Others might have missed the changes in Lucian’s body except for his eyes, but as someone who saw him every single day, Naomi did not.

She would know if there was even the slightest change in Lucian’s dressing sense let alone a change this big.

"...don’t ask."

Lucian shook his head.

"Wow, way to make it mysterious."

Naomi looked at him with a deadpan look on her face.

"Don’t tell me you watched that shadow anime I recommended and are now trying to act mysterious like the main character."

"I’ll never watch cartoons."
