Chapter 87: Openly kissing
Rhea’s eyes snapped open as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the window, remembering her conversation with Draven last night, she threw off her covers and leapt out of bed.
In a swift motion, she made her way to the main kitchen. She knew that a substantial breakfast was the key to keeping her emotions in check. As she entered the kitchen, she saw a table filled with food, plates piled high with pancakes, eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit. Without hesitation, she served herself and dug in, devouring the food with an intensity that matched her overwhelming mind.
She didn’t want to think of anything at this moment.
As Rhea wolfed down the breakfast, Draven appeared in the doorway, watching her with keen eyes. He couldn’t help but notice her unruly manner, her hoodlum-like demeanor as she chomped down her food.
With a sigh, Draven quietly leaned over the doorframe to wait for her, but careful not to disrupt her voracious feast.
Once Rhea finished her colossal breakfast, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and stood up abruptly. The clatter of her chair resonated through the kitchen as she pushed it back. Without a word, she gestured for Draven to follow her as she made her way to Aria’s room.
Draven quietly followed behind her, but looking at her back, it was as straight as ever. Every step she took had a swagger that ordinary girls didn’t have, she carried herself like she hadn’t been hurt last night at all.
When they entered Aria’s room, Valen was still there, casually seated on a chair with his long legs stretched out on a table in front of him. He was shirtless and didn’t bother to cover his chest, proudly displaying his abs. However, when he saw Rhea, his hazel eyes lit up with amusement. "Coming to find my flower early in the morning, Miss Rhea? Aren’t you ashamed of seeing something you’re not supposed to?"
Rhea scoffed, "Ashamed? My Lord, you’re the one sitting here shirtless with guests around."
Valen chuckled, "I don’t see anything wrong with that. Besides, I have an interesting body to show off. Don’t you think?"
Rolling her eyes, Rhea replied, "Oh please, I’ve seen better bodies than yours..."
As those words escaped her lips, Rhea’s heart skipped a beat, recalling the image of Draven naked in her mind. She vividly remembered the day she saw him soaked naked inside the ice bathtub in the border town. His naked body was the first and the most alluring male body she’d ever set her eyes on. The thought alone made her body swell up with heat again, but she quickly shook the image out of her head.
However, Valen noticed the flush that came to settle on her face and raised an eyebrow. "Seems like Miss Rhea has something going on in her mind. How interesting," he remarked, amusingly. Even Draven glanced at her flushed face with a frown but said nothing.
Swiftly changing the subject, Rhea declared, "I’m here to steal Aria away from you." She pulled Aria into a side huge and said, "Right, my love? You will go with me since Lord Valen has many more women to deal with, he wouldn’t mind me taking you."
Aria softly chuckled and then lifted her hand to gently poke Rhea’s forehead. Just as she was about to respond, Valen interrupted, saying, "Yes, I have many women to deal with and pursue, but my heart and soul have already been captured by my beloved flower. I cannot let her go." He said, then beckoned for Aria to come over, she obediently walked towards him. When she came to stand in front of him, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her on his lap, he didn’t even mind that they were people in the room, and shamelessly pressed his lips against hers and kissed her. It wasn’t just a light kiss, but a deep one, where tongues were clashing together.
Rhea, who’d never seen anyone kiss so passionately in her presence looked embarrassed, she swallowed hard. Despite her bold and shameless words and manners, she actually knew little to nothing when it came to all of these. She’d never thought it would be this embarrassing and feel weird to watch people kiss. And Just when she thought to interrupt them, Valen pulled away.
After pulling away, he turned to Rhea and declared, "Even if you’re a girl, I won’t allow you to take her away from me."
Rhea looked at Aria’s flushed face. Her poor friend had fallen in the hands of a Playboy. Couldn’t Aria tell that Valen was just putting up a show for her to fall harder for him? People talk about love, but she wondered how it really works...
Rhea quickly looked away from the couple who had resumed kissing, but Draven, standing next to her, showed no emotion on his face. He nonchalantly walked towards the couple and took a seat in the chair across from them. He had no interest in their actions or whether their love was genuine. His focus was solely on the reason he was present. "Young Lord Santino, your father’s establishment used some powers to make those elixirs they sold out. I aim to strip that power away, and I seek your assistance in achieving this goal."
Valen, who had been kissing Aria playfully stopped as he heard Draven’s words. He glanced at him, then frowned deeply. "I forgot to ask about your identity yesterday, you are?" He asked.
Draven didn’t answer that question and instead turned towards Rhea for her to do the introduction as he wouldn’t want to introduce himself as her husband and made her get the wrong impression that he was acting like her real husband. However, Rhea also looked back at him as if expecting him to do it himself.
Really, he didn’t want to expend effort to trick more people, so he wanted her to introduce him the way she saw fit. He gave her a stern look when she didn’t speak, she then rolled her eyes and murmured, "He is Draven, my partner. We just met months ago, but rest assured he means no harm and can be trusted."
Valen didn’t immediately reply and glanced at Aria as if silently asking for her opinion. He only replied after receiving a nod from her, "Alright, since you’re Rhea’s partner, then let’s talk man to man. You say you want my assistance to take away something from my family’s establishment? Do you have any idea how important that thing is to my half-cousin, Alina?" Valen asked nonchalantly as he played with Aria’s silky hair between his fingers.
He continued, "Almost everyone in the capital knows my relationship with my family. Yesterday, Edmund only let me off because he has no use for the dragons and because he thought I wanted to harm them so the creatures could kill me in the process. But if I go as far as to help you steal the powers, then I’m afraid only the ashes of my corpse would be left before the next morning."
