Supreme Magus novel Chapter 604

"I know how things must seem to you. That I dated you only to get a freebie for my sister. I never meant to hide how bad her situation is from you, it’s just that it’s not something I like to talk about.

"I wouldn’t have even bothered you with it if you weren’t the best Healer I know and now that I’m a Field Assistant Constable, I can afford the treatment. I can pay you, so nothing has to change between us. I’m not trying to exploit you." Kamila said.

"Gods, my paranoia is really rubbing off on you. I never thought anything like that. I too hid a lot of things from you. I know all too well how difficult it is to speak about a painful past. Only those who want to garner pity from others would speak of such things on a first date.

"I’m glad that you asked for my help, because it means you trust me enough to share your burden with me. I’m even more glad to hear about all the silly thoughts running through your head, because it means you are not taking me for granted." Lith gently caressed her hand.

’I wish I was that strong. I have yet to tell her about my hybrid nature. I can’t tell her about Awakening and true magic, but if things get really serious, I can’t make the same mistakes Protector did.’ He thought.

"Thanks." Kamila sighed in relief, feeling her worries fading.

"The thought that you might be doubting about my feelings was eating at me since yesterday. To be honest, it’s the reason I avoided to... you know." She said while the waitress brought them desserts.

The conversation moved again to their respective day’s work and silly anecdotes about their lives. When they went to Kamila’s apartment, Lith was happy, relaxed, and most of all, sleepy.

"I had too much wine. I’ll go take a quick shower to clear my head and I’ll join you as soon as I slip into something more comfortable." Kamila said.

’Tomorrow I have a full day and today I’ve used Invigoration so much that all my body aches. With a full stomach and considering how tired I am, I’d better avoid making advances.

’Besides, things with Kamila will be awkward for a while, at least until we solve Zinya’s problem. Heck, I’m too tired even for theory crafting magic.’ He thought as the Skinwalker shapeshifted into his pajama.

Lith checked with Life Vision that nothing was out of order and that there was no unknown magical item before being able to relax. He fell asleep the moment his head touched the pillow.

It didn’t last long, though. A sudden flash of light and a mildly amused voice woke him up after what seemed a second.

"What are you doing?" There was a tinge of annoyance in Kamila’s voice.

"Isn’t it obvious? I was sleeping." Lith shielded his eyes from the cruel light with a hand.

"After how you kissed me when I returned home? After what I said earlier? What happened to your math skills?" She was tapping her foot, her hands on her hips.

"What do you- Good gods!" Lith’s mind recalled her earlier words as his vision returned to normal. Kamila was standing in front of the door wearing only red lace lingerie. It made wonders emphasizing her pale skin and soft curves.

During his time as Assistant Professor at the academy, Lith had used the White Griffon network to patent the underwear he had plagiarized from Earth. It hadn’t been the success he had hoped for, except for the women underwear, of course.

Lith had gifted Kamila a few for their amorous plays and she was now wearing his favorite one.

"But yesterday you said..."

"Yesterday we had to talk, silly." She crawled on the bed on all four with deliberately slow, sensual movements, showing miles of cleavage.

"Didn’t you miss me? Even one bit?" She said before giving him a peck that tasted like heaven.

’Thanks, math. I knew you wouldn’t relinquish me.’ _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
