My NTR Harem

Chapter 186: Strawberry

"No need to make excuses; just drag this gorilla away and you can leave. Get him treated, or he might never wake up again." Join us at m v le mpyr now

The remaining members looked at Lucian with grateful eyes and then dragged their boss out of the room, which was again engulfed by silence.

"So what do you plan to do now?" Lucian asked, turning his gaze towards Ava. His smile no longer seemed playful; she really felt a little scared now.

"I… I will—" Ava stuttered. She now only had two choices: either accept his terms or ask her boyfriend for help. Not playing a role in this drama wasn't an option for her.

Even if she reported it to the Godfather, he wouldn't be back for at least a couple of weeks, and it wasn't certain that someone he sent could help her out. Knight was one of his best fighters, as she was aware.

And even if the situation was resolved by then, a lot of time would be wasted. They would have to find a new male lead and use the old story.

Not to mention these club members who were supporting Lucian—the drama would definitely be a disaster, and her chance would be wasted.

After pondering for some time, she raised her face and looked at Lucian, finally speaking:

"I-I will act in this drama, but the kiss would at most be pecks and not more than two."

"Director, let's just call for a different girl. I'm sure others won't have any problem with these terms as long as they can act in this drama."

Lucian spoke, and all the members nodded. They were already brainwashed by him and would follow all his commands.

Ava felt cornered, left with only two choices: either accept or quit. But kissing Lucian in front of everyone… she just couldn't agree to it.

"F-Fine, I will do it. I have to be a part of this drama no matter what. But the kiss won't last more than a minute."

Ava said; this was the most she could agree to, but she couldn't imagine how the Godfather would react if he came to know of this.

"Okay, that's fine. So shall we start with the preparation?"

Lucian said, and the members all heaved sighs of relief. She was a good actor, after all, and it would be impossible to find someone better than her.

Lucian then gave the dialogues he had printed and explained many things, even deciding on the roles.

He was even doing the director's job himself, and after some time, the drama practice finally started.

In this drama, Ava was the daughter of a rich and powerful man, and Lucian was the leader of an evil group.

This was the story of them both slowly falling for each other. The evil man was forceful with her at first, but then they discovered new feelings.

Ava was holding the dialogue sheet in her hand as she spoke: "Do what you wish, but I would never tell you anything."

Her expression looked fierce, and she really seemed like a young lady from a noble household.

All the members of the group watched this scene in astonishment.

"Heh, I would like to see how long you can resist."

Lucian spoke. He had already learned all the dialogues, so he was properly acting. Everyone was surprised by his acting skills; he really seemed like a professional actor.

"Believe me, I would never bend in front of someone like you. If you are a man, then prove me wrong," Ava spoke, a mocking smirk on her face.

Lucian smiled coldly as he took the story forward, suddenly getting close to her as he placed one of his hands on her back and the other behind her head, their bodies pressing against one another tightly.

Her strawberry-like scent drifted into his nose.

Ava showed a sign of surprise and tried to move back. Whether it was because of the script or her natural feelings, no one really noticed that.

All the members were staring at them with their eyes wide open.

Lucian brought his face closer to her; they could even feel the warmth radiating from each other's bodies.

Ava felt her senses tingle as she smelled him and felt his body.

Finally, their lips came in contact. Lucian felt her soft lips against his, and the scent of strawberry got even stronger.

The scent was mouthwatering, but before he could take the kiss any further, Ava pulled back with her face beet red. She hated the sensation of his lips on hers and wanted to just quit it all.

'H-How am I supposed to do this?' she wondered.

"So you want to quit now? It's fine; let me just give a call to someone else—" Lucian began to speak, but Ava interrupted him.

"Can't we do the kissing part in the main act? We can just practice the dialogues; there is no need for us to kiss right now." She spoke, hoping he would agree.

"No, I want this drama to be perfect. What if you pull back just like this on that day too? So we need to bring up our chemistry and practice everything as much as possible."

Lucian's words stung her heart. She knew that now she had no other choice.

"B-But I don't feel comfortable kissing in front of all these people. Can't we just practice alone?"

Only after she had said that did Ava realize that the meaning of her words was quite wrong. She had just invited him to be alone with her, and in that time, they were going to be intimate.

Lucian might not try anything else in front of others, but who knew what he might try later?

And from her words, everyone would get the wrong idea. She wanted to take back her suggestion, but Lucian spoke first:

"If that's what you want, then it's fine. Since we are just starting, we can practice alone, but we would have to perform in front of a large audience, so you will have to get used to it."

"…" Ava knew it was already too late, so her only priority was to not let her boyfriend know about this—which was an impossible task. So he should only know about this after the drama.

Since he loves her so much, he will probably forgive her, right? And it's not like she was going to cheat on him; this was just a part of acting, and this was a normal thing in movies.

Ava tried to find logic even though she had already decided never to do intimate scenes in her movies.

The rest of the members released loud sighs, knowing they wouldn't be able to see Lucian kissing this beautiful girl just yet.

When their lips had touched just now, all the boys in the room felt their blood moving much faster, and a small tent appeared in their pants; most of them had a crush on Ava.

"Okay, so let's proceed with dialogue practice for now, and during the lunch break after they all leave the room, we can practice the intimate scenes," Lucian suggested, and Ava could only nod.

Then they began to speak their dialogues. It was the first time they were practicing like this, but everyone around already felt this was way better than their original plan.

Lucian proved to be such a great actor; the story was exciting and romantic, and with Lucian's support, they would be able to have better sets and costumes.

They practiced a few times, and finally, the time Ava feared greatly came: the bell for the lunch break sounded.

"Sigh, I so want to stay here and watch that heavenly scene. Lucian is so lucky," one of the members spoke, looking at Lucian with jealousy.

All the boys had the same look on their faces, even the director.

Ava was like a celebrity, a goddess in the school, so they didn't want to miss such a special scene but had no other choice.

Soon, only Lucian and Ava were left alone inside the room. She didn't meet his gaze and just stood there, biting her lips.

"So shall we start now?" Lucian questioned, slowly walking closer to her.

"Do we r-really have to do all that? Please, can't we just skip these scenes?" Ava pleaded.

She could still feel his lips over hers, even though they had been in contact for only a couple of seconds. She couldn't kiss him passionately.

"Yes, I am not forcing you. If you are still not sure, you can quit the club, but if you want to play the main lead, then you will have to put in all the effort you can.

Or does your resolve amount to so little? Don't you love acting, or is it just a part-time hobby? If you are serious about something, then no matter what challenges you face, you would never stop.

Is kissing a little really that big of a challenge that you could give up on your dream?"

Lucian spoke as he slowly kept walking towards her.

His speech worked like magic. Ava's face became more determined the more she heard; the fire in her heart was burning up again, and she was going to achieve her dream no matter what.

Finally, Lucian appeared right in front of her, standing close enough that they could smell each other's scent and feel each other's body heat.

Ava gazed at his lips. She didn't want to admit it, but the kiss earlier made her feel butterflies in her belly, and his lips were so soft that her body craved more.
