Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 329: She is not a Pervert!!!

The waitress couldnʼt help but steal glances at Aether and Delphine as they sat together at the table, finishing their meal.

There was a calmness about them now, but she could feel the charged atmosphere that lingered in the air, as if the very space between them still buzzed with the electricity of what had transpired earlier.

The subtle tension, the way Delphineʼs cheeks were still flushed, and the lingering, almost tender glances they exchanged all hinted at something more.

Yet, as a professional, she knew better than to pry. Silently, she placed the dessert plates in front of them with a polite bow. ”Would you like to extend your stay for another three hours, sir?” she asked, her voice soft, carrying a hint of something knowing.

Delphineʼs face flushed an even deeper shade of red, her eyes wide with embarrassment. Aether, however, simply shook his head with a small, enigmatic smile. ”No need,” he replied, his tone calm and composed, as though nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.

The waitress nodded and left them alone.

As she walked away, Delphineʼs embarrassment grew. She kept her gaze fixed on her plate, unable to look at Aether, ʼWhat the fuck happened to me?!ʼ she screamed inwardly. This wasnʼt her. She wasnʼt the kind of woman who would do those things, say those filthy words...

She wasnʼt a pervert!

She definitely wasnʼt!!!!

ʼIt must have been a dream!ʼ she thought desperately, trying to convince herself that she hadnʼt lost control, that she hadnʼt acted on raw, unfiltered desire.

Yet...

”Delphine,” Aetherʼs voice interrupted her thoughts, pulling her back to reality. His tone was soft, yet there was an unmistakable undercurrent of amusement. ”Thereʼs something on your lips,” he said, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

Delphine frowned for a second, then reached up to wipe her lips with her fingers. But when she looked at her fingertips, she froze. A small drop of white liquid clung to her skin, and in an instant, the memory of what she had done came rushing back....

how she had elegantly caught Aetherʼs release in her hand, how she had brought her fingers to her lips and licked them clean, her eyes locked onto his with a sensuality that had left him utterly entranced..... Like drinking the dripping Honey!

”I want to die!” Delphine cried out, her voice a mix of mortification and disbelief as she buried her face in her hands.

She couldnʼt believe she had done that in front of Aether. What must he think of her now? She wasnʼt that kind of woman. She wasnʼt someone who acted out of raw, carnal impulse. She had simply... lost herself, overwhelmed by the intensity of his kiss and the heat of the moment.

Aetherʼs lips trembled with amusement as he reached out to her, his hand warm and gentle as it cupped her cheek. ”Itʼs fine, Delphine,” he said softly, his voice filled with a tenderness that made her heartache.

”No! Now you think Iʼm some kind of slut or something...” she sobbed, her voice trembling with the weight of her emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes, spilling down her cheeks as she struggled to come to terms with what she had done.

It felt as though she had lost all her dignity in that single, reckless moment.

Aether shook his head, his thumb gently brushing away her tears. ”Thereʼs no way I would think that, and you know it,” he reassured her, his tone firm yet kind.

Delphine nodded slightly, her face still gloomy, her heart heavy with regret.

But seeing that she wasnʼt completely comforted, Aether leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a teasing whisper as he said, ”Though I must admit, I do love that perverted side of you~”

”NO! I am not a pervert!!” Delphine instantly protested, her voice rising as she tried to deny the truth that was gnawing at her. Her face flushed an even deeper shade of red as she vehemently rejected the idea.

She would never acknowledge herself as a pervert.

Never!!

”Youʼre the perverted one!” she shot back, her eyes narrowing in a glare.

Aether just stared at her, his silence speaking volumes. He didnʼt need to say anything to bring those mortifying memories rushing back to the forefront of her mind.

The way he looked at her was enough to remind her of every embarrassing moment, every whispered word, and every unguarded action. She gritted her teeth in frustration, feeling utterly exposed.

”Forget everything that happened here!!” she demanded, her voice stern and commanding, as if she could erase the past with sheer force of will.

Aether shook his head, a playful smile tugging at his lips. ”Nope, Iʼm not forgetting anything...”

Delphine could only grit her teeth in frustration, her cheeks burning with a mix of anger and shame, ʼI really lost something now...ʼ she thought bitterly, feeling as though she had given away a part of herself that she could never reclaim.

Aether sighed inwardly, ʼI told you... sheʼs really regretting everything,ʼ he thought, finding her turmoil both endearing and amusing. But then, his expression grew more serious as he asked, ”So, are you regretting doing it with me?”

Delphineʼs head shot up, her answer immediate and firm. ”No way!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with conviction. There was no way she could regret that, no matter how embarrassing it had been.

”Then?”

”Well...” Delphine hesitated, her words faltering as she tried to find a way to explain the jumble of emotions swirling inside her. She wasnʼt sure how to put it into words, how to convey the confusion, the shame, and the lingering desire that still pulsed within her.

Aether smiled warmly, his eyes softening as he took her hand in his. He brought it to his lips, kissing her knuckles gently before speaking again. ”I want to see every side of you, Delphine.”

”Huh?” Delphine blinked, her confusion evident.

”Yes,” Aether continued, his voice steady and sincere. ”Each and every side. The cold lady, the cool lady, the hot lady, the perverted lady... I want to see everything, Delphine. Thereʼs no need to hide from me. I want all of you.” His gaze held hers, his expression filled with an intensity that made her breath catch in her throat.

Delphine blushed, her heart skipping a beat as she felt a warmth spread through her chest. ”Y-You wonʼt think of me lowly, right?” she asked, her voice small and uncertain.

”Of course not!” Aether replied firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt. He added inwardly, ʼIf anything, I hope you wonʼt think of me lowly in the future.ʼ

”No matter what side of you I see, Iʼll always love every part of you, Delphine,” he continued his voice a low, intimate murmur as he leaned in close, his breath warm against her skin. ”Every single part of you...” His lips brushed against her ear, sending a shiver down her spine as he gently bit her earlobe, his teeth grazing the sensitive flesh.

”~Ahh~” Delphine moaned softly, her body reacting to his touch despite her best efforts to maintain some semblance of composure. She quickly covered her ears, trying to block out the sensations that were threatening to overwhelm her.

”Hahaha...” Aether laughed softly, his heart swelling with affection as he watched her struggle with her feelings.

Just then,

”A-Aether?” Delphine called out, her voice trembling with a mix of shock and disbelief.

”Hmm?”

Delphine pointed to the empty glass on the table, her hand shaking slightly, ”T-That was my wine...” she whispered.

”.... Oh! Fuck!” Aether mumbled.
