'Let's finish this.' Alex announced before gazing at the sleeping beauty; Alex appeared like a prince who was about to wake up the sleeping beauty; however, instead of using a simple method, he went for the hard mode.
Gazing at Artemia, who kept her eyes closed and revealed a flushed, coquettish expression, Alex finally smiled. If she continued to sleep like a corpse, he would definitely not be aroused, and even if he did, the enjoyment was just a matter of routine. But now, Artemia reacted instinctively, even in her sleep like he was teasing a sleepy kitten. She looked really adorable to him and made him have the intention to continue teasing her. He slid his hand down her smooth body and extended his fingers.
"Ugh…!"
Artemia's body tensed up instantly to the stimulating touch. Even though she was unconscious, her body began to instinctively experience and respond to his caress. The young lady twisted her body uncontrollably as Alex felt the slippery wetness on his hand. He stooped over, held her arms down, and thrust his hips forward. Then… They merged as one.
"Ah…!"
A loud scream sounded from the room. But after that, the sound of physical collision and continuous gasps became the main melody. This went on for two hours.
When Alex opened his eyes again, the first thing that came into view was Artemia's mesmerizing blue eyes. The third princess lay in his arms nakedly, staring at him without blinking. Upon realizing her gaze, Alex twitched his brows, and both of them remained in a strange silence. After a few seconds, Alex let out a cough.
"You're finally awake, Princess."
"Yes, it is all thanks to your help."
Upon hearing Artemia's response, Artemia didn't display any awkwardness or question the reason behind his actions. Because at that moment, she could clearly feel the burning sensation inside her body. She swayed her hip and looked at him with a teasing smile.
''I know someone who is still active. Eager to go for another round.''
''Let's here. How are you feeling?'' Alex stopped Artemia before she could further tease him; he knew she was acting tough; Alex could feel her heart pounding hard, proof that she was embarrassed.
Artemia grumbled before standing up and put on some clothes; when she was done, she spun to face Alex; the two looked at each other before Artemia opened her mouth to say.
''Alex, can we talk?" She asked.
Upon hearing Artemia's call, Alex turned over. Artemia had already put on her clothes and was smiling at him gently.
"Thanks for your help; if it weren't because of you, I would have probably lost my life."
Artemia said, lowering her head and giving a solemn bow. But shortly after, she revealed a witty smile as soon as she lifted her body. She put her palms together, blinking her black, bright eyes at the man. Although she didn't say a word, Alex recognized the seriousness in her eyes.
"You will take responsibility, right, Mr. Alexander?"
"That's for sure."
Alex nodded without hesitation; his response was already prepared. He thought about it before eventually laying hands on her. He couldn't possibly say that it was only an accident and not admit what he did. Moreover, now that the situation had escalated, Alex wouldn't let her off even if she did not assume responsibility. It would be fine if she were purely the victim, but how could she expect Alex to be the one taking full responsibility after she enjoyed the process? It was impossible. Besides, assuming responsibility was also considered a form of 'grasping the initiative.'.
Deep down, Alex knew that be it in modern times or another world, men had to assume responsibility in such scenarios to gain the initiative. Men should never retreat or break up with the other party using some lame excuses after devouring her body, as it would only make matters worse. Alex wasn't such a type of man, and he believes that Silveria and her sister were aware of this fact; from Silveria's behavior, she wanted Alex to make Artemia his woman, Nyx seemed to share the same thought as well, as for why they were so adamant about this, only the concerned party were aware of this. Maybe they saw her potential and wished for Alex to have a future powerhouse under him.
'Sigh!'
When he thought about the troubles that were about to follow when the other girls would learn about this, Alex felt a headache coming, especially Maria; she may appear to be on friendly terms with Artemia, that is on the outside, inwardly nobody what she might be thinking. Learning about what happened here might make her switch attitude toward Artemia; discord might occur in his newly created harem, something we wished never to occur. He just wishes for all his women to have a harmonious relationship, not necessarily for them to be best friends but at least to be understanding, accepting each other, to be forgiving enough to learn from each other, to be forgiving enough to leave together because they have the same man, love the same man.
'It would be great if Maria understands me.' Alex wished he was terrified of Maria's reaction; she could say she doesn't want to be with him anymore. Well, even if she doesn't say that, she could make things difficult for Alex, make the new woman leave on their own through numerous strategies. Alex didn't know why but he was sure that Maria could accomplish such a feat. It was a good thing that the woman he saved using such a special method was not Kuina; if it was her, Alex was sure to go through hell as the two naturally dislike each other, even if Maria try to chase Kuina away, with the latter personality, Alex believe she would never go, consequences Alex would suffer, there was a saying when elephants fight, it was the grass the only one to suffer, in this case, would be the grass.
'How troublesome.' Alex could only silently muttered.
