Chapter 1094 Tokyo Illusion Part 32
YUHI
Yuhi's gaze fell on the girl who was now covered in marks all over. 'Damn it, not this again. How many times has my control slipped? Why am I biting her so hard, am I?some kind of beast?'
Sumire was staring at him too with flushed cheeks.
"I-I will get the bathwater ready." Sumire bolted up and dashed towards the bathroom.
Yuhi watched her clumsy figure disappear behind the doors. It always surprises him how much stamina she has. She has certainly improved that's for sure, before whenever he did it with her, she wouldn't be able to move for days.
'I have mixed feelings about it because her stamina no doubt improved because of everything she did with Lucifer.'
He sighs deeply and reaches for his packet of cigarettes. He needs to clear his thoughts. After smoking for a few minutes, he tosses the cigarettes to join the girl in the bathroom.
Even when he climbed in, Sumire didn't come to me. Instead Sumire was pouting and staying at the very edge of the tub.
Yuhi sighed. "You know, I thought you felt guilty."
Sumire flinched. "W-well I do but--th-that was." Her cheeks coloured. "--too much stimulation."
Says the one who's been attacking him since he returned.
"Y-Yuhi-san, can I get closer?"
Hearing her question, Yuhi sighs deeply. She rejects him one moment and then confesses. 'My wife really is strange.'
Yuhi nodded. "Come here."
The moment Sumire came over, she sighed in content. "Well, this isn't bad."
Yuhi nodded. "I told you, I'm not angry at you, Sumire."
"I haven't been drinking your blood much. You've noticed, right?"
'Of course I have, I am right here. But she chooses to go to Mashima. Hell, if Nagawa was here, maybe she would go to him too. She will choose anyone who isn't him.'
"I noticed it wasn't enough for you, yes." Yuhi mumbled reluctantly.
"I really need to work this out."
"I understand. So maybe we shouldn't--"
"Well, that wouldn't work. My hormones are a bit-"
Yuhi blinked after hearing her words.
Oh.
It's not like he hasn't noticed. 'At first I thought I was the one out of control, but then I realized. If it was before, and she had too much she would have stopped me. But, since I got back, she hasn't stopped me at all.'
Yuhi assumed it was pity and due to the guilt she felt about letting Lucifer touch her. But he was wrong.
Her cheeks coloured and she laughed softly. "I mean, I think you've noticed."
"Yeah, I have."
"You don't mind right?"
"Not at all." Yuhi cupped her cheeks. "Fuck. You're pretty." He leaned down and kissed her.
They were kissing for a few minutes when he spotted Mashima's mark not only on her forehead but on her neck too. Yuhi's gaze dimmed. How on earth did that get there? Unless he bit her. Mashima isn't a hanyou, but he is still an evolved human. He can still bite someone for pleasure.
"My dear, how is your research going? You look pale, have you not been sleeping. I told you, you can't neglect yourself like that."
"Now, now. We know which lady shares my bed, if I'm not sleeping at night. There is no doubt it has to do with her."
Sumire squatted his arm and sighs. "It's your fault my dear, lately I have been wanting to eat you up."
Lately huh?
"So your research?" Sumire prodded.
"I have a few more questions for you. Can you tell me more about your fifth life? After you were taken in by the mercenary guild and got married to Lennon, what happened?"
"Mm, it didn't take long before I became pregnant. After I became pregnant, Lennon encouraged me to tell Alex the truth. By that point I had been with the mercenary guild for a year. Me and Alex didn't exactly have much contact. Truthfully, now that I have my memories back. I can say this.I think my feelings for him were vanishing. I still loved him but it was no longer romantic."
Yuhi isn't surprised when he hears this. 'I suspected as much when she was talking about Lennon, her expression and her tone changed.'
"I found peace with myself for the first time in years, and when I was with lennon the darkness didn't act up. The rest of the mercenary guild became my family too. I was terrified when I was pregnant, I was worried what would happen before would happen again and that I would miscarry. When I told Lennon my concerns, he told me there was a doctor who could safely watch over my delivery, but we had to leave. I-I was too weak, I couldn't tell Alex in person so I- simply left a note explaining that I was leaving and I wouldn't be coming back."
At those words Yuhi cringed. 'I have had many nightmares of her doing the same thing with me.'
"I didn't want to admit it, I know it was cruel. But, I truly did love Alex for three centuries. However by the fourth? By the fourth when his temper started getting worse, and he no longer listened to me? When he stopped respecting me? I think, I fell out of love for him and stayed with him out of habit."
"So you and Lennon and the rest of the guild moved away?"
Sumire nodded. "I safely gave birth to triplets and we lived a happy life for sixteen years, But then one day Alex showed up. The darkness had taken over his body completely. I tried to talk to him, I begged for him to forgive me. I kneeled down. But when I did that? He took advantage and he-"
"-raped you?"
Sumire bit her bottom lip. "He did."
Yuhi's gaze dimmed. It's a good thing Mashima isn't here to overhear this.?It seems Lucifer has been preaching about keeping her safe and protecting her. But to think he did something like that to her. Not even Nagawa has done that, and Nagawa is scum through and through.
It's not like Lennon is a saint either, what he did to Sumire when she was Norah was awful. To do so on her wedding day, and the humiliation she had to endure in front of the servants and her inlaws.
Sumire is too kind, if anybody else had been in that position? They would have ended the other person repeatedly. But instead she gave Lennon a chance.
