124 Tell us (1/2)

Lara glared at her.

”I said I would think about it. If you continue to pester me about it then you can forget about it completely.”

After this warning, Keira hurriedly shut her mouth.

The gala continued with them talking amongst themselves. Sometimes someone would come over to greet them, but neither of them was very motivated to socialize.

One thing that really astonished Ivan was the food served. While all of it was delicious, the food only available for mages was on an entirely different level. Not only was the taste unbelievable good but it also gave some slight temporary buffs.

But besides the food, there wasn't really anything about the gala that was able to interest him. Sure, it was nice to meet other people but to be honest, he found most of them only annoying. As such he was happy when the gala ended and they got ready to leave.

Keira and Teddy didn't drive back with them but instead called a taxi. So only Lara and Ivan were in the car.

”So how did you find it?”, Lara asked.

”It was nice to meet your siblings.”, Ivan answered diplomatically.

Hearing his answer, Lara couldn't help but giggle. ”Don't worry about it. I don't really like these parties either, so we won't be going to them that often.”

Ivan let out a breath of relief.

”So what do you think about Keira's proposal?”, Lara then dropped the next bomb.

Ivan didn't directly answer, but instead looked at her carefully, trying to find out her thoughts about it. But he was unable to find out anything.

”I don't know. To be honest, I have the feeling that there are already enough women around me, so I don't really want to increase the number even more.”

”So you aren't even a little bit tempted?”, Lara asked in a teasing voice.

”I would be lying if I said that I'm not tempted. After all, she is a beautiful woman. But I'm not sure the trouble would be worth it. Not to mention the relationship I have with all. Or to be correct the absence of any relationship with most of the women who are officially married to me.

So even though I'm tempted, I would prefer to work on our relationship first.”

When he said the last sentence a smile appeared on her face.

”I think the same but at the same time, I don't just want to ignore Keira. After all, she is my friend.”

”Then how about we just reject her for now, but tell her that maybe later we will agree?”

”Wouldn't that be a bit cruel?”

”How so? It isn't like we have to help her.”

”But it isn't like we would lose anything by helping her.”, Lara protested. Seemingly having changed her mind. It now seemed to Ivan as if she was in favor of the proposal.

”Don't we? But even so, how do you even want to fulfill her wish? It's not like we had sex except that one time. And now you want to have a threesome?”

”I know that it may seem weird, but I think that would even make it easier.

You know that after what had happened back then in the cave, I developed a mental blockage concerning men. I really don't like to come into contact with any, except a few special ones, like you and the members of my family.”

Ivan nodded. Of course, he knew about it. After all, it had been his past selfs fault. And when he had first met Lara it had clearly shown and they had talked about it as well.

Seeing him nod, Lara then continued, ”As such, even though I have slowly gotten used to being near you, having sex is still a big step. And I think that having someone else there could really help me overcome my barriers.”

”I don't know...”, Ivan wasn't sure if he would agree to her reasoning. But in the end, it was she who had the problem and not him. So maybe she was right?

He once again sighted. ”Ok, it is your decision. If you want to do it, then we will do it. If not then we won't. But for now, focus on your adventure first. After you are back, we can then make the final decision. Alright?”

”Alright. Thank you for being understanding like this.”

”Of course I would be. After all, we are husband and wife.”, he smiles at her.
