CHAPTER 86: CHAPTER 86: LUCY’S IMPURE THOUGHTS

Alex drew in a slow breath, trying to steady himself. The effort only made the wound at his waist split open again, fresh pain spreading through him making his body feel the burn from time to time.

"Who did this to you Brother Alex? How could he be so cruel?"

Lucy gasped her eyes began filling with tears.

She quickly stepped forward and withdrew a clean handkerchief from her sleeve to press it against his injury.

"It’s nothing Lucy, just a scratch," Alex said with a faint smile, though inside his chest a warmth stirred at her concern.

"Brother Alex, don’t try to move."

"Let me first wipe it clean and put some medicine on you for it to heal," she pleaded softly.

He gave a small nod of his approval allowing her to tend to him.

When she slid his robe aside what came in her view was his broad chest and firm muscles.

The strong lines of his body spoke of his strong resilience, but the muscles that can be fascinating some other time it is now filled with sword wound across his waist.

"Brother Alex!" Lucy’s voice trembled as her eyes grew misty at the sight of his body marred by scars of the battle.

"That assassin sure was ruthless... how could he strike you like this?"

At first her heart had speed up due to his strong and powerful muscles at the sight of it, but the moment she noticed the deep purple marks and the raw gash, all her awe and admiration turned into distress on the scene.

Her fingers brushed gently around the wound as though afraid to hurt him further. "Does it hurt?" she whispered.

Alex forced a grin through his teeth due to feeling pain by her touch but he didn’t let it show on his face.

"What’s this little pain to me? My skin is thick and I could hardly feel it now."

But of course, it was a lie. Every throb of the wound was like fire searing through his body.

Lucy’s eyes grew redder, tears threatening to fall. "Brother Alex, you must protect yourself well in the future. I... I can’t bear to see you hurt like this again."

Looking at her tearful gaze like pear blossoms in the rain he was a little stunned for a moment.

After staring straight at her for quite some time, he couldn’t help but say, "Lucy, you are so beautiful."

Hearing this, Lucy bit her red lips and lowered her head, yet even a blind man could have seen the surprise and shyness in her eyes.

For some reason, Alex felt an urge in his heart that he wanted to pull this delicate beauty into his arms and steal a taste of her sweetness.

But just as he leaned forward, the burning pain in his waist flared again, leaving him suddenly weak on the bed making him immobilised.

"Brother Alex, don’t move. Lie down first, I’ll apply the medicine for you," Lucy said quickly.

She carefully applied the medicinal liquid onto the wound at his waist, he could feel her touch was as light as a breeze brushing over him.

That gentle contact made his own heart race wildly, his face burning hot due to the heat.

Alex grit his teeth, silently enduring the sting from the medication.

But compared to the thrill of holding such a beauty in his arms, what was this little pain? Nothing at all.

When she finally finished applying the medicine, Alex sat up, preparing to put his clothes back on himself.

But just then, Lucy failed to notice his outstretched leg and tripped—

—straight into his arms!

"Ouch!"

Their bodies collided together pressing tightly on each other.

Alex instantly felt her warmth against him.

Her delicate fragrance drifted into his senses as his strong arms instinctively wrapped around her slender waist, holding up her fast in his arms.

Lucy’s heart leapt like a startled deer at the sudden embrace.

She tried to rise but his strength was too much for her to break free, and she collapsed against him instead, her pretty face flushed crimson.

Alex breathed heavily due to all the emotion tension that has been building earlier, tightening his embrace as though he wanted to melt her into himself.

Lucy lay against his chest her body trembling with heat of the moment, not daring even to breathe deeply as if not to break the moment.

The awareness of her soft curves pressing against him filled Alex with a strange, intoxicating sensation.

A low moan escaped his lips feeling her body on his ’little brother’ who seem to eagerly wanting to come out.

His large hands, restless, slid gently across her back, then downward slowly, brushing past her narrow waist before lingering over the roundness below her hips.

"Brother Alex—mmmh"

Lucy murmured softly, her eyes turning misty, her face burning red as her body quivered in his arms.

The sensation in his palm was hot, thrilling, enough to drive her mad with passion of the moment.

"Hiss..."

Just as Alex wanted to go further, the wound on his waist tore open again by the sudden hit by Lucy, sending a sharp pain through him.

The accidental jolt on his wound finally helped both of them to finally come out from the heat of the moment.

When Lucy finally came out from the momentary stupor, she lifted her head to look in the eyes of Alex, her pretty face aflame and eyes brimming with tears. "Brother Alex, sorry..."

In midspeech she seem to finally felt something against her navel.

Curious, her gaze slowly drifted downward and suddenly she saw exactly ’what’ was poking her. Her neck and face flamed red like the morning glow.

"You’re so bad, Brother Alex!" she cried out, stamping her foot before running to the corner of the room. Her body trembled as if she might burst into tears.

Shit! I am done if this goes out.

"Lucy..lucy"

"it’s my fault."

"Listen, okay I’m sorry."

Alex pushed himself up to stand despite the pain searing through his body, ran slowly toward her, and shouted his apology.

Hearing his voice, Lucy suddenly turned and threw herself back into his arms, weeping loudly. "Brother Alex...wuwu, I am sorry Brother Alex—"

"It was all my fault just now. I bullied you, Lucy. I deserve death for being so vulgar to you!" Alex cursed himself for being a dick as he looked down at her tear-streaked face.

But unexpectedly, Lucy lifted her head, her eyes glistening with tears.

"No... no, it wasn’t your fault," she said. "It was me. I was the one who tempted your body. I was the one with improper thoughts. I’m the shameless, bad girl..."
