Chapter 146 - The Morning After (2/2)

But last night was too much. She may not have done that consciously, and it's not like she initiated anything intimate. But her behavior for somebody who has a lover is..

”I'm cool with that, but,” Rhys cupped her cheeks, ”What do I get?”

”What do you mean?”

”I need to get something out of it. It's not fair for me.”

Not fair, that's true. For Rhys, last night was progress in terms of pursuing his feelings for her. ”Then, we can hang out more.”

”By more, every day?”

”Okay,” Lyn nodded, ”Just don't interrupt my time with Kazuya.”

Her time with Kazuya is the most important thing for her, even though Kazuya isn't spending as much time with her as before.

”Let me go,” Lyn murmured.

”You really are beautiful, make sure you wear your cloak.”

Lyn looked at him puzzled. Why does he keep mentioning her appearance? Lyn nodded, and Rhys smiled, he bends down and gently kisses her lips.

Wh-

”I'll wait for you outside, hurry and get dressed,” with those words said Rhys left the tent.

She remained frozen, 'Is he going to keep doing that?' Lyn thought. Why does he keep touching her like they are so familiar with each other? Okay, so they aren't strangers anymore. But as dense as she was when it came to matters regarding romance.

Lyn knew that what Rhys did to her was terrible. She ought to tell Kazuya. The thing Lyn wanted to hide from Kazuya though was what she did when she had a fever. While that was not as bad as what happened when Rhys harassed her, Lyn didn't want him to know how vulnerable she was when she was sick.

A deep sigh passed her lips; this isn't the time for this. Kazuya is with Shaarya now, so her worries should have diminished. But, 'His voice sounded so weak,' there is no doubt that Kazuya is seriously injured now. She ought to hurry up. With the addition of Lady Rei on the team, the plan has changed slightly. She isn't the only one going inside the carriage.

Lyn slipped on the dress Rhys got here, it was a relatively simple off-shoulder western-style red dress, but Lyn felt a bit self-conscious. Isn't she showing off too much skin? Lyn shook her head; this isn't the time to be complaining. She stepped out of the tent, and the moment she did, a lovely aroma caught her senses. Lyn looked towards the source and found Rhys cooking. That's right, Rhys was cooking. He did make food for her before, so she shouldn't be surprised. But it looks so weird.

Rhys looked over, ”Yo, food is ready.”

”Right.”

Lyn felt Rhys gaze on her, and she shifted uncomfortably, ”That dress looks good on you.”

Ah? Her thoughts broke off when somebody slipped a coat onto her shoulders, ”Allen?”

”But to show off that much skin is not good for you.”

Rhys sighed, ”Don't be so uptight. What's wrong with her wearing more exposed dresses? That's the trend these days.”

”Since you said you'd get her a dress, and you just decided things, I already feared the worst.”

”Oi, what sort of sick, twisted mind do you think I have?”

”Don't you know the answer to your own question?”

Her sweat fell when she hears the two bickering away. What's with them? Or rather this must be the first time for her, seeing Allen act in this manner. It is quite refreshing to see.
