Chapter 677: You’re Seriously Enjoying This, Huh?
Alex sighed softly as Lavinia massaged his back, helping him relax.
His meeting with Aeris and Lapiz had mentally exhausted him. So much that Lavinia could see it on his face.
This was why the Catkin had proposed to give him a massage to make him feel better. How could Alex possibly refuse?
He liked how caring and proactive Lavinia had grown after they became lovers. In the past, Alex had no intention of becoming close to his Master’s sister since he feared Cairo would stab him for it.
To his surprise, his Master was actually quite supportive of their relationship. Even more so after Alex had proven his worth in the dungeon where the Catkins almost died from the mutant spider.
It was not only Cairo, though. Lavinia’s entire family had accepted Alex as their future son-in-law, but only under the condition that he wasn’t allowed to sing in front of them.
The young lady poured more massage oil on the young man’s back before pressing her hands over it.
"Is the pressure alright?" Lavinia asked.
"It’s perfect," Alex replied.
"Does it feel good?"
"It feels really good."
A faint smile appeared on Lavinia’s face as she continued to massage her lover.
She massaged his back, arms, and legs, and when she was done with that, she asked him to flip over, facing her.
Alex did as he was told. After that, the young lady sat on his abdomen, her hands moving playfully on his chest.
Aside from his boxer shorts, the young man wore nothing else.
"You’re playing a dangerous game, missy," Alex said in a teasing tone. "Do you not know that famous saying? Let sleeping dongs lie."
"Wasn’t that supposed to be ’let sleeping dogs lie?’" Lavinia arched an eyebrow in return.
"I stuttered."
"Sure you did."
Lavinia and him had already done many things in the past, but they had yet to cross that final barrier.
Not counting his dream with Noelle, among his lovers, only Evangeline had done it with him.
Though, he had a feeling that if the right conditions were met, Lavinia would not hesitate to pounce on him as well.
The young lady then gently massaged Alex’s neck before sliding her hands lower to his collarbone and chest.
Of course, Lavinia also teased him by moving her hips from time to time, forcing Alex to use all of his willpower to prevent little Alex from waking up.
Seeing how hard he was trying, the young lady giggled and finally released him, focusing on massaging his thigh.
Of course, it didn’t take long before little Alex finally reacted, which created a tent on Alex’s boxer shorts.
Lavinia continued to massage Alex’s legs, and even tickled the sole of his feet, making the young man squirm on the bed.
"You’re seriously enjoying this, huh?" Alex asked.
"You bet," Lavinia replied without hesitation.
Seeing that her lover seemed to have momentarily forgotten his worries, she continued her massage while giving little Alex the neglect play.
Actually, Alex was happy that the Catkin didn’t push his buttons.
After all, they were currently inside his dormitory room, not an inn in the city.
If not for the fact that he was certain that Chuck was currently on a date with Princess Xenia (and Mary) in the city, he wouldn’t have dared to let her do this inside the shared dormitory room.
Even this massage could be considered borderline when it came to the rules of the academy. But Lavinia had a good head on her shoulders.
She understood that even if Alex was in the mood, he wouldn’t do it inside the academy grounds. And so, she simply teased him a bit to make him feel hot and flustered.
When the massage finally ended, the two cuddled, with Alex giving Lavinia a kiss of thanks for her troubles.
"Do you want me to give you a massage?" Alex asked.
"Not here," Lavinia replied. "Are you free this weekend?"
Alex stared at Lavinia in response and noticed that her cheeks were dyed red.
This was an invitation, and he understood that if he said yes, he would have to take responsibility for it.
"Are you sure?" Alex asked just to make sure this wasn’t just a passing whim from her.
Lavinia nodded, but didn’t say the answer out loud. Yet, the blush on her face was proof enough that she truly understood what she had just proposed to Alex.
Suddenly, the young lady flinched, feeling something hard pressing against her.
"Last chance," Alex said in a serious tone. "Are you sure?"
"Yes," Lavinia replied before kissing Alex’s lips.
He kissed her back and wrapped his arms around her body. The young man was truly thankful that they were in the academy. Otherwise, he would have lost control.
Just as he was thinking that they should put a stop to what they were doing before it spiraled out of control, the two heard a light cough from the corner of the room.
Alex and Lavinia both looked in the direction from where they heard the cough and saw Lumi smiling at them.
"Don’t mind me," Lumi said with a smile. "Please continue."
The two teenagers glanced at each other for a bit before nodding their heads at the same time.
Then, under Lumi’s watchful gaze, they once again kissed each other passionately, making the corner of the Alter’s lips twitch.
She thought that her presence would put a stop to the two’s intimate moments. Yet, instead of stopping, their kisses became much more intense as if they were making sure that Lumi would see everything!
Fortunately, the two still knew when to hold back and stopped reluctantly.
Alex then put his shirt back on, while Lavinia helped him put on his pants.
After he was dressed properly, he once again hugged Lavinia and kissed her forehead, thanking her for making him feel really good.
"Well, then. Why are you here, Lumi?" Alex asked.
The fox lady gave a long and deep sigh before walking towards Alex.
"Mother sent us a message," Lumi stated. "She wants you to do something for her before she agrees to you dating me."
Alex and Lavinia blinked at the same time while looking at Lumi, who seemed to have developed some very thick skin as of late.
"What?" Lumi glared. "You don’t want to date me?"
"Of course I do," Alex replied. "What did Mother ask me to do? Does she want me to run around the academy naked like last time?"
"She what?" Lavinia asked in disbelief.
She knew Alex had met with Latifa’s mother. However, the details of that meeting were kept between Alex, Latifa, and her Alters.
"No." Lumi shook her head. "Her request is about the inter-academy tournament. She said that she will only agree to give you her blessing if you win the Singing King Contest."
When Alex heard the trial his future mother-in-law had given him, he almost didn’t believe her words.
"It seems that she really wants us to be together, then." Alex grinned because he already thought that he already had the competition in the bag.
Of course, Evarisse had a different opinion.
After hearing Alex’s diabolical singing voice, she was certain that the young man had no hope of winning the contest.
It was impossible for him to win!
In fact, Evarisse had even planned to sneak into the venue as well to watch Alex get humiliated. She knew the elves would not tolerate such blatant disregard for art!
Also, with so many important personages watching the competition, she was certain that Alex would no longer have the guts to show his face ever again after everyone heard his song, which might also be the last thing they would ever hear in their lifetime.
Both the young man and the Celestial Fox were confident of their victory.
However, only one of them would have the last laugh.
As to who it was, only time would tell.
