Chapter 311 - Under the stars (1/2)

Pavel was embarrassed to see his boss dumbfounded at the sight of Aleksis. Alaric was staring at her and seemed to forgot how to blink. Pavel hurriedly picked up all the documents from the desk and excused himself.

Aleksis looked at the departing man with a smile on her lips, and when he disappeared behind the door, she immediately jumped into Alaric's lap who was still astonished at her transformation.

”Why are you looking at me like that? You're staring at me as if you're hungry and I'm your food...”

Alaric swallowed hard again. He couldn't find the words to say.

”Gosh, did a cat eat your tongue, huh? How come you are not saying anything?” asked Aleksis, pretending she did not notice that her new appearance had shocked Alaric.

Inwardly she was touched because Alaric already liked her even though her appearance was initially shabby. Aleksis thought, his act, of accepting her as she was, deserved to be rewarded. And so she did by showing the real, impossibly beautiful Aleksis behind her disguised nerdy look.

Aleksis inherited very good-looking genes from her father and mother, plus she had taken the immortality potion from Uncle Aldebar, making her a hundred percent Alchemist, having a body and face with perfect proportions and symmetry.

She was also not 20 years old yet, which meant she would still grow up. Her growth would only stop once all the cells in her body are fully formed. It was very possible that she would become even more beautiful in the next few years.

Alaric wanted to reply to Aleksis' questions by saying that the girl was very beautiful and he was mesmerized, but he couldn't find his voice to say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, instead of letting a sound come out, he kissed the girl.

Alaric finally gave in to the craving that ensnared him from the moment he saw Aleksis enter the room with her new appearance. He pulled Aleksis's face close to his face, his lips claiming hers passionately.

Aleksis instinctively returned his kiss when Alaric's tongue entered and explored her mouth. Then they kissed passionately on the sofa for a long time.

”You're really making me addicted to your kiss ...” Alaric whispered between his kisses. ”You don't look like a human...”

I am NOT a normal human, thought Aleksis.

A smile formed on her lips at Alaric's words, and it tempted him even more because Aleksis' tiny red lips looked like fresh berries ready to be picked.
