Chapter 758 Lady Felica's Offer

As the third day of the city being sacked passed and night dawned, Alexander started to prepare to personally enter the city the next day.

This thought put Alexander in a very good mood as he very much looked forward to entering that dream city at dawn.

But as he was finishing up the last of his reports late at night, and getting ready to slip into the warm bed,

"My lord, are you awake?" This mellifluous voice sounded from outside his tent

And hearing the woman's voice, Alexander grumbled, 'What is it now? Couldn't she wait any longer?'

Given the things Lady Felicia had been doing around him for the past few days, it did not take a genius to why she was here.

She had become particularly desperate in the last two days, practically, and sometimes literally spreading her legs for him, to the point Alexander knew if he showed the slightest intention of taking her, the lady would be more than willing.

So her being here really could be for one thing.

"Come in my lady. It is very cold outside."

Alexander did think of shooing the woman away, not liking the thought of entertaining someone trying so hard to get inside his pants.

He did not like sleeping with such women who obviously wanted something in return.

But ultimately felt like hearing her out.

"Thank you, my lord. I hope I'm not interrupting," Lady Felicia entered politely with a heavy, hooded cloak draped around her, only her face visible to the world.

The nights here even in early August tended to get a bit chilly.

"How may I help? It's quite late isn't it?" At Lady Felicia's genteel greeting, Alexander's reply sounded hurried and even impatient, and he did not offer her a seat or even initiate any pleasantries.

If it was not clear even before, now Alexander made it crystal clear he did not like being disturbed like this, especially at this hour.

But Lady Felicia, to this only produced a light, unconcerned smile, not all seeming offended.

"My lord, are you planning to enter the city tomorrow?"

As if she could not read the atmosphere, she then innocently posed this with a charming smile.

"Yes," Alexander gave the curt reply with only a small nod.

This was open knowledge, Alexander saw no need to waste any breath here.

And he wondered why she was here wasting both their times like this.

It was then that suddenly Lady Felicia's voice turned soft and sultry, her eyes turning soft and armous, "Then I guess this will be our last night together…*rustle*, My lord."

As the woman said this, she very deftly let go of the cloak, letting it pool to the ankles and revealing what was underneath.

And it was very surprising.

Surprising enough to make Alexander's eyes bulge as he clearly saw what Lady Felicia wanted to show.

Despite it being night and the absence of any strong light source, Alexander always made sure to light his tent as bright as possible, using as many candles and oil laps as possible, up to almost four to five times the average amount.

He did this because he had to stay up a lot of the nights to read and write reports and the soft glow of candles wreaked havoc on one's eyes when straining oneself like that.

So Alexander did this under as bright as light as possible since he did not want to end up with eye problems by his forties.

And now, a convenient side effect of that practice was how he was able to explicitly discern the magnificent sight presented to him.

Now the lady was not nude under her cloak.

Lady Felicia could never be so crude and that alone it would not have made Alexander much moved.

Instead, knowing how to seduce men, she had very thoughtfully chosen her 'armor' or perhaps more appropriately 'weapon' for the battle.

And it was certainly a very potent panoply, the sensual dress certainly catching Alexander's eye.

It was a lacy, one piece sheer negligee with beautiful flowery patterns decorating it. in sexy black with alluring frills around the breasts and waits.

The fabric was opaque in around some parts and enticingly translucent around others, namely the fleshy breasts, sides, and the navel.

There were small shiny diamonds studded around to make the wearer sparkle, and pairing the dress was a pair of matching black stockings covering the thick, creamy thighs.

But these decorations played simply second fiddle to what the main attraction of the dress was.

The slits!

Yes, the negligee had strategically cut slits into the, three of them, clearly showing off the two brown buds on the chest, which had already become turgid, and the patchy, dark garden underneath.

It was a crotchless negligee, revealing all that was meant to be hidden while hiding most things that did not mind being revealed.

And seeing Lady Felicia in this state, Alexander would have to give to her, she had a killer body, and the clothes did not make her, but simply accentuated what was already there.

For a brief moment, he even felt a bit jealous of Lapitus for having this bombshell of a wife.

And had to resist that small part of him that wanted to go grab those luscious melons and have a suckle out of those thick buds full of milk, or squeeze those luscious fleshy mounds on her flanks, or simply thrust into her hot garden and take her then and there.

The bright light made it easy to that she was ready, for to further add to her charm, it seemed Lady Felicia had very naughtily shaved herself down there so that only the hair around her pink lips was cleared, but not around her pubes.

This worked to clearly highlight the parts she wanted Alxx to gaze at and this signal worked.

And Alxx found that place to be unnaturally sparkly, with occasionally a twinkle of light dropping down from there.

Very apparently LF was very wet and ready.

But as Alxx gazed at the ready and hungry women, who wanted nothing more to be taken, instead, seeing the dress, it suddenly made Alexander produce a slight chuckle inside him.

Because it suddenly reminded him that this dress was most likely designed by him!

Or to be more specific, about a year ago, he had shown Gelene this new design of a lingerie to sell, both because he wanted to see his wives in such a thing, and also as a way to placate the woman who had been trouble getting pregnant.

And following that, a few months later she had come to him with large smiles, happy telling him how popular the new design was with the upper class ladies and how she had gotten a special order to make a custom piece a very special noblewoman worth a few thousand ropals,

Alxx did not bother to ask how that woman was, it didn't matter to him, but he did help a bit in designing the thing.

And well who would have guessed he would find it here of all places?

'Not only does she have expensive taste, but she also has good taste,' Alexander then half joked seeing his creation fit so perfectly on its target.

Then once having enjoyed the eye candy to his fullest, Alexander replied to this open invitation with a light smirk, and this,

"My lady, it is quite chilly here. I suggest you put on something heavy so that you do not catch cold."

Lady Felicia was humiliated!

In her mind, she had shed all her honor and dignity and came to Alexander dressed like this, like a whore, and was spreading her legs so blatantly.

Yet, he refused to lay with her!

If Alexander had preferred men, she might have understood.

But he was clearly heterosexual.

And he clearly was attracted to her.

So rejecting even this open advance made her feel both ashamed and incensed, her glassy, soft eyes turning hard and cold.

"Did I do something to offend you, my lord?"

But Lady Felicia still did not give up.

Even when Alexander was playing the fool and clearly rejecting her, the lady still tried, as she turned to face still in that pose, pulling a hurt, forlorn face.

By now she had given up on getting anything out of Alexander using seduction.

And hoped to eke something out due to pity.

Seeing this, and feeling he might have been too harsh, Alexander stepped a bit quickly towards her, his voice by now a bit apologetic, "No, no, my lady, why would you think that? You have been nothing but of the utmost help to me in the last few days. I am very grateful for all the?information you have imparted to me in the last few days."

Then at this point, Alexander's voice turned a bit hesitant,

"It's just that I do not think it would be prudent to do such a thing you mother in law. Fabiyana would surely be hurt if she knew. I'm sorry." Alexander's voice then turned strong and reassuring,

"And besides, you can rest assured. Whatever happens with your husband, I will take good care of you and your daughter. You do not have to worry. Food, housing, and security, I will see to it all."

Alexander till now believed that the reason Lady Felicia was trying to get into his pants was because she was insecure.

After all, in this time period, a widow living alone with her daughter was a very dangerous prospect.
