New Eden: Live to Play, Play to Live

Chapter 822 Bashful Kary

Chapter 822 Bashful Kary

??Reaching the room first, Alex ran into the walk-in wardrobe and hid in a row of dresses that Kary had brought.

She wasn't fast enough to see where he hid and entered the wardrobe in fury, still whisper-screaming.

"Why did you invite her to lunch?! I'm trying to get her to leave. I barely had time alone with you, and people keep barging in on us."

Alex stifled his laughter before using a trick to send his voice away from him.

With a bit of wind magic, he made the air vibrate away from him, mimicking his voice.

"I know. But it would be rude to push her out now. After lunch, I'll ask her to leave. I promise."

Kary walked toward the voice and pulled the clothes apart. But Alex wasn't there.

She had gotten good at detecting magic on this side, but still couldn't pinpoint Alex's location.

"Stop hiding; face me like a man!" she growled.

Alex slipped out of his hiding spot, tiptoeing behind her, and grabbed her waist in one fell swoop.

"Eep!" she yelped before throwing her elbow backward.

Alex tucked in his own elbow, blocking the blow, and started nibbling at her neck.

Kary started laughing as she was ticklish, pleading with him to stop.

"Ok, ok! Stop! You asshat, I'll get you back for this!" she giggled.

Alex chuckled, not doubting about her statement one bit.

He spun her around, grabbed her under the ass, and lifted her into his arms.

"I'm sure you will. But right now, let me enjoy the moment. It's just lunch. After that, I'll nicely ask her to leave since I'm still fragile from my coma, and she'll leave without a fuss. I'm sure."

"Fine," Kary dropped, pulling a fake pout.

Alex laughed before kissing her on her pouty lips.

"You're such a drama queen. Now get dressed, or your mother will know you chased me to complain," he said, dropping her to her feet.

Kary nodded with a smile before undressing before him and shaking in a taunting manner.

Alex had to bite his lips, remembering someone was waiting for them on the first floor, or he would have consumed her right then and there.

He spun around, controlling his urges, and picked out a nice outfit: nothing too flashy, but all top brands.

Stuff he'd bought in case he needed to meet someone important in a more casual environment.

Once he and Kary dressed, looking like a wealthy power couple going on a stroll, they returned to the living room.

"Alright, we're ready. And I'm sure the car is waiting for us, too. Are you ready to leave?" Alex asked Guylaine.

She eyed him up and down, finding his outfit underwhelming, until she noticed the branded buttons on his shirt and the embroidered logo on his pant pocket.

His outfit was worth at least four grand. She had to suck in some air, forgetting to breathe momentarily.

And when she looked at her daughter in a lovely autumn dress, she could smell the luxury of the dress as well. This made her smile.

"Yes. I am ready. Although I feel a little under-dressed compared to you two," she nagged.

"Mom…" Kary groaned.

"Oh, come on, darling. You can't fault me for trying," Guylaine giggled, walking past her daughter.

"Urgh…" Kary groaned.

"Don't worry. I can see through her antics," Alex whispered in her ear.

Kary felt a shiver go down her spine as Alex's breath brushed past her neck. She'd been taunting him upstairs, but the truth was, she was also horny after seeing him undress before her.

His muscles were more defined than when she last saw him, and she could see them rippling with every movement he made. This had aroused her, and if her mother hadn't been downstairs waiting for them, she would have jumped on him on the spot.

But she pushed her rising lust down inside her mind and vowed to herself to catch up their month apart that evening before going inside New Eden.

'Maybe I'll shag him there, too. We'll see how busy we get,' she thought, biting her lip.

At that moment, her mother spun around in the elevator and caught her daughter's lustful look.

"Dear lord, daughter. Have a bit of control. You'll drool all over that nice dress," she mocked, raising her daughter a knowing eyebrow.

"Shut up!" Kary replied, her face turning red.

She wasn't shy about talking about bed stuff with her mother, but not in front of her boyfriend, and her face went scarlet instantly.

Alex chuckled as he walked into the elevator, pushing the floor-

level button and holding the doors open.

He looked at Kary with a cocky smile, knowing what she was thinking, as he shared similar thoughts and waited for her to get on the elevator.

She rushed past him, looking at the floor with her face and ears bright red, her heart thumping in her chest.

"So bashful," Alex mocked as he let go of the doors, letting them close.

Kary growled low at him as her mother laughed heartily, joined by Alex soon after she started.

"Not fair… You're ganging up on me…" she muttered.

Alex made a little heart with his fingers toward her before looking back at the doors. He could see everything in the reflection of the metal, anyway, so he didn't need to stare at her to know she was scarlet red.

The ride was quiet as mother and daughter watched the strong stature of Alex, both asking different questions in their minds, and Alex could feel their gazes bore into his back. He smiled snarkily but said nothing.

Once the doors opened, he lifted his elbow, waiting for Kary to grab onto it, and she did soon after, her face still flushed.

"Ahem," Guylaine said, walking next to him.

Alex looked at her and chuckled.

"Of course," he said, lifting his other elbow.

She grabbed onto it with a grin before saying, "What a gentleman. Truly deserving of my daughter."

Alex smiled, but shook his head mentally.

'How very controlling. I can see how Kary became so good at controlling battlefields with her around,' he mentally chuckled.
