Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1807

Chapter 1807 - Solus’ Birthday (Part 1)

Solus kept seeing Bytra's memories in her sleep, forced to relive the terrible events that had led Menadion to lose her life after bonding her daughter to the tower.

Even though the old and new tower were nothing alike, when Solus was alone, she could almost see the corpses of Menadion's apprentices and even her own laying all around the place amid pools of blood.

At night it became even worse since it was about the same time when the murder attempt had taken place.

Solus would wake up in tears and trembling in terror, incapable of falling asleep again until sunrise. Whenever that happened, Lith would move to the tower and sleep in her bed, using their bond to soothe her trauma.

She loved the new accommodation and all the hugs and cuddles that came with it, but Lith still found it awkward. Solus was a wonderful young woman and he was a healthy single man who wanted to avoid doing something that they would later regret.

In regular circumstances, there would be no such risk unless they were both intoxicated by alcohol, but his bond with Solus made everything much more intense.

At that moment, while the scent of her hair invaded his nose and the softness of her chest pressed against him, Lith's willpower squeaked a little. Yet it would take only one moment when his arousal matched Solus' to trigger a loop effect with predictable consequences.

They would spend a few hours of pleasure together before realizing they had crossed a line from which there was no return, changing their relationship forever. It would have made them both happy while the honeymoon phase lasted, but after that, it would have been a potential nightmare.

Lith considered it the proverbial penny-wise and pound-foolish scenario, where he would have minor gains in the short term and massive problems in the long run.

Even if somehow they remained friends after the break-up, any woman he dated would have been far from happy to know that he was joined at the hip with his ex and every relationship he would have but flings would fail the moment Solus appeared on the scene.

'No need to worry about this now. It's Solus' special day. The first birthday she can spend outside of my ring, surrounded by the people she loves and that love her back. Everything must be perfect.' Lith thought.

"Well, what do you want to do first?" He asked, waiting for her to break the embrace first.

"Breakfast! Today is my birthday so it's also going to be my cheat day. Off the diet until the end of the celebrations!" The thought of all the delicious food she could finally eat without worries wiped away the remaining traces of sleep, filling her with enthusiasm.

Between the preparations for the war and the training with Locrias, Solus had exercised a lot. That along with a clean cut on all kinds of comfort food had toned her body and honed her hand-to-eye coordination.

Much to her dismay, however, she had achieved what Aran, Leria, Rena, and even Solus herself called the "Senton physique". Every part of her body was a symphony of perfectly balanced softness of the skin and hardness of the muscles whereas her belly was pure softness.

"Not to be that guy and spoil your mood, but you never told me if you intend to have a day-long birthday or to make up for the lost time and extend the party for a fortnight.

"A cheat day is fine, 15 cheat days straight would ruin your hard work." Lith said.

"That's what you are worried about?" She pushed him away, pouting in mock indignance. "Jokes aside, I don't know. I guess I'll enjoy today and then make up my mind.
