*Flashback*
Lilith POV
I was holding him and frankly, I'm a bit angry even though I know not to let it show, he's barely reacting. He even dared to tickle my ear and whisper in a suggestive tone, I love people treating me normally sometimes since some wouldn't dare to even try despite my order. But emphasis on sometimes, this guy doesn't know what he's messing with.
"I want a chance of reconciliation. I heard you know my oldest brother as well."
"Well just come to the boat after we defeat the kraken, we got 5 bedrooms for us and I paid more than enough to support a family, you can spend as much or less time as you want."
"What if you leave before I can get the chance, I need an immediate way of tracking you."
"You're a goddess, you figure it out."
"Then let me kiss you a bit, it won't take long to leave a magic marking on you."
"On the cheek, right?" He raised an eyebrow
"I'm a demon, I don't like innocent ways like that."
No, I can just use my hands and register one or just simply kiss his cheek, but I want to test his reaction a bit, not even a slight flustered expression.
"Can't you just use your hands and brand a mark on my back or something? I got one on my arm that is basically a black rose." he used his chin to point and I pulled his shirt a bit to check to see it was true.
He's trying to change the subject, so I just leaned in further and planted my lips on his. And this fucker dared to flip me and made me the bottom before pulling his lips away after a bit.
"Do that all you want, but just not in front of Leilah." He said as he lift my chin up "Is the marking done?"
The stupid cheeky smile.
"That was only a couple seconds, but yeah...Not your first time, is it?"
"I'm not as innocent as you think, Lilith. Don't think that you'll have your way easily, I was also named after a god in my past life for a reason."
Oh, that's interesting, but I'll teach this guy on not to be too arrogant next time. I hate being on the bottom. His hands then moves up from my hip to my chest, but just as things were about to get exciting, he just stopped and got up.
"You're getting me all excited to just stop at the last second?"
Bastard.
*Present time*
Afterwards, he did warn me of a few things that I shouldn't bring up or I should talk about, but I disregard his advice of instigating Leilah. I mean it's not like I'll die unless I decide to turn myself mortal.
But he on the other hand just have this expression of resigning himself to his fate.
Ruka POV
A love triangle, cool. I don't even have to pay money at a good theatre to see acting when one is happening right in front of my very eyes. I guess these 2 really are similar if they are aiming for the same man.
I then went out to get the snacks from the cooks directly so that they won't interfere as I then got back and ate them while watching a free live show. I beckoned Maple over to snack on them too while the drama took place.
Oh she's strangling him from behind.
"Tonight, I'm sleeping with you in your bedroom." Leilah demanded after she calmed down "Nothing happened, huh?"
"It was just once." Perseus pleaded "It didn't really mean anything. I was just being nice cuz she was your younger sister and all, one thing led to another and next thing I knew, she kissed me."
"He then flipped me over and got on top of me to continue the kiss and only broke away after a while." Lilith added which did not help his case
"If it didn't mean anything, why were you scared to tell me, huh?" Leilah crossed her arm
"Um, if it makes you feel any better, I um, was thinking of you the whole." Oooh, that's not a good response "This is why I didn't want to tell you."
"What?!" Lilith was the one who's offended this time "You didn't even stop me. And what do you mean you were thinking of her?!"
For a guy who knows a lot about fictional stories, he sure does fall into the drama trap quite easily, huh, this is like a premium play right in front of me.
"Oh you wanted to get caught!" Leilah accused
"What?! Why would I want to get caught?!" Perseus retorted
You can't even fake this, this is so good.
"Does this happen often? Maple asked
"Don't you watch us almost all the time?"
"Well not really, I have to tend to prayers, but is it weird to find this enjoyable?"
"No, want a cookie?"
*****
Perseus POV
It took a while to calm down over dinner and Maple stayed all the way through as thy both then hush things out while I head to rest for a bit, they deserve their private time as Ruka join in as well.
Leilah slept with me and had me hug her tightly from behind so she can snuggle with me.
"Good night." I said as I kiss her head from the back
"I told you that I'm open to you having a few other while we locked onto you." she then turned to face me "But 4 is enough, okay?"
"Are you jealous that someone might steal me away from you?"
"As long as I remain your favorite." she replied and gave me a quick peck on the lips "You don't have to worry about any of us cheating on you, as for Ruka, you might need a bit more work in luring her in."
"You went from being angry to urging me to get ensnare Ruka?"
"She doesn't possess as much threat in stealing the number 1 position. Alright, let's sleep now, we have a lot of things to discuss in the morning."
