Chapter 33: S-Since this is something you absolutely medically need... We have no other choice. *

"She?"

Naomi raised her eyebrow.

"Your lawyer is a woman?"

And that made Lucian grin.

"Oh? Is that jealousy I sense?"

"It’s not jealousy, I am just asking if your lawyer is a woman because I am worried about you."

Naomi kept her calm.

"Are you suggesting women can’t be good lawyers? That’s offensive, especially since it’s coming from another woman."

"Lucian, I swear to God..."

Naomi was about to curse.

Lucian laughed, then he nodded.

"Yes, she’s a woman and she is good."

"What is her name?"

She asked and for a moment, Lucian paused.

"Ms. Voss."

He gave an answer after thinking about it.

"Ms. Voss..."

Naomi repeated.

"Yes."

Lucian nodded.

"How old is she?"

She asked. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"And how is that relevant to attempted murder charges?"

Lucian asked with a shit-eating grin. He did not think Naomi of all people was the jealous type, and that surprise only made it more enjoyable for him.

Naomi’s mouth twitched in annoyance.

"I want to know how experienced she is."

She gave a reason.

"Hmm, she seems pretty experienced."

"So she’s old."

"Well... yeah."

Lucian nodded.

Naomi narrowed her eyes since it didn’t feel like Lucian was answering honestly, but honestly, at this point, this wasn’t important.

The case and Lucian’s safety were.

"So what did she say?"

She asked.

"She said we have university cameras and other witnesses that prove Ryan and the others were following me on purpose when I was in a state of distress, then she said some lawyery things I didn’t understand.

But all in all, she said I won’t be charged with anything, let alone attempted murder."

"Are you sure about that?"

Naomi asked.

"She is."

Lucian nodded.

"And..."

Naomi hesitated, not knowing if she should plant a seed of doubt by asking that question, but in the end, she did it anyway.

"Do you trust her? Do you think she’s telling the truth?"

She asked.

Lucian paused at that question.

Does he... trust Claire?

That was a funny word.

She and that Enclave Group were honestly the last things he trusted right now but...

"I am pretty sure she will handle it."

That was an honest answer.

He may not trust the Enclave business, but he had seen Claire’s influence, he had seen how quickly the official statement was changed, how all paperwork was handled with no questions.

He doubted a few lawyers would be a problem for someone like her.

"That’s good."

Naomi nodded as she continued eating her omelette.

Lucian did the same and while he ate, he looked at Naomi with a light smile on his face and—

"You were worried."

Naomi’s fork stopped.

"You left class looking like you were going to collapse, of course I’d be worried."

"Many saw me leave the class that way, I didn’t even get a text, let alone a visit."

Lucian looked at her.

Naomi looked back.

"They are not your childhood friend who slept with you yesterday."

"That’s true as well..."

Lucian smiled, his purple eyes glowing dangerously.

Naomi noticed his eyes and that expression on his face and—

"Lucian, what are you doing?"

She asked directly.

"What do you mean?"

Lucian smiled innocently.

"Stop acting innocent, you are trying something, aren’t you?"

And his smile faltered. For a moment, he did not understand how he was supposed to say it but then—

"You see... I was reading this novel the other day where the same powerful female cultivator was affected by an aphrodisiac twice and the main character had to save her two times..."

He muttered, doing everything in his power to keep a straight face as he came up with that bullshit novel plot and Naomi—

"You..."

She couldn’t believe it.

"You want to do it again? Right now?"

Just... how...?

How could one... think of it at this moment?

Actual lawyers came to their class today and served him a legal notice, he panicked so much that he instantly ran away, he even slapped her hand again when she tried to comfort him as if her touch was going to kill hi—

Suddenly, Naomi froze as her mind came up with another theory.

She recalled what happened in the class again, she recalled Lucian’s face as he rushed away, she didn’t notice it because her mind was too occupied with the lawyers but...

Wasn’t Lucian’s face flushed at that time as well?

No, but he seemed normal in the class. He even listened to the lectures and answered the professor’s questions.

That shouldn’t be the case, he must have rushed out because he was afraid.

She tried to reason in her mind, however, no matter how much she tried to reason anything, her mind didn’t believe any of it.

She did not need theories, she needed facts.

So she turned towards Lucian instead.

"You... did you take that thing again?"

She asked, soon however, she realised how stupid that question was. Lucian would never take something like that again, not when it left him in the state he was in yesterday.

Then...

"Did it relapse?"

She wondered and before her mind could think, her body moved towards him, she placed her hand down there, and the instant she did—

She froze.

"It really did relapse..."

She couldn’t believe it.

"Since when?"

She asked.

"Since the lawyers came."

"Did their presence trigger something? Fear often has a strong effect on the body."

Naomi started analysing in her head, as for Lucian—

He was having a much more difficult time now that she was even closer to him, his heartbeat quickened, his cock throbbed under her touch, his breathing became rougher, her scent made his mind even hazier and he—

He grabbed her hand that was touching his crotch.

"Don’t touch it so suddenly..."

He spoke in a raspy voice.

"L-Lucian..."

Naomi stuttered.

At this point, even someone who had only been a virgin until yesterday could see it. The desire, the... hunger in Lucian’s eyes as he looked at her.

Honestly, for a moment, she thought about how masturbation might help as well, but the instant her mind recalled every single thing that happened yesterday, her body twitched as well.

Her lower lips began to ache in anticipation, her eyes turned somewhat hazy as well and...

"S-Since this is something you absolutely medically need...

We have no other choice."
