Chapter 131 The Aftermath (2)*

It didn't take too long for Lukas and Stacy to call it a night. The two were calmer and more at ease with their thoughts that they both returned to their respective huts to catch up on more rest.

Stacy walked back into her hut and heard her brother's snoring before she even saw him hogging the entire bed space. A small snort escaped from her as she made her way to the bed and rolled her brother to make room for her.

Lukas on the other hand crept back into his hut, and he found that Chaerin was lying down at her side and curled up at the same time. His expression softened a little as he approached the bed and laid beside her.

It was peaceful and quiet, not a single sound bounced in the room at all. Everything seemed to be at ease. The young man let out a soft sigh before turning slightly to her. "Chaerin?"

There was no reply.

Lukas inched closer to his girlfriend and enveloped her in his arms. Almost instantly, Chaerin's body moved and pressed closer to his. Her back was now against his chest, and she seemed to have breathed a little more evenly.

This relaxed Lukas as well, and he buried his face into her air.

"I apologize for my actions earlier," Lukas whispered quietly. "I understand that you were scared for me and that we were stuck in the heat of the argument. Hopefully, sometime soon, I'll be able to earn your trust–I'll be someone who you can depend on."

It was almost a little cringy saying the last part aloud. Far better to not make statements such as those and instead direct his energy into ensuring that he could keep his word, rather. That felt more appropriate and aligned with him.

Because if he failed… Well, Lukas didn't want to think of those implications.

For the sake of the life that he now wanted to protect and the people who were in it, it was up to him to do everything that he could to succeed. Lukas yawned a little and blinked a little more, his eyelids were starting to feel heavy.

After a series of events that happened one after another in the Veil Forest, it was no surprise for him to be exhausted. The adrenaline rush vanished and now all that was left was for him to catch up on some sleep and rest.

… That was until Chaerin rolled over to his side and blearily opened her eyes.

"Mmm… Lukas?" Chaerin tilted her head. "You're back?"

"Oh, you're awake now." Lukas smiled and stifled the urge to yawn again. "Good morning, Chaerin… about awhile ago, I want to say–"

Chaerin brushed her finger across his lips. "Mmm, let's not talk about that for now. I missed you."

"I… well, mmm–you too!" Lukas tried not to open his lips that much, relishing the softness of her fingertip and keeping still, there was a sudden shift in the mood that electrified him. It was something he instantly recognized and somehow charged him in that moment.

This was the make-up sex.

Or at least, the very beginnings of it.

Even the way that Chaerin tilted her head, exposing her neck towards him was a feast for the eyes. He hadn't noticed it earlier when he also came in, but somehow, Chaerin also undressed her dark long sleeve shirt and was only wearing the tank top beneath it.

Lukas gulped and couldn't help but wonder if Chaerin had planned this.

Maybe Lukas was thinking too much. It made sense for Chaerin to want to be more comfortable in bed, especially if she was trying to sleep so of course it was possible she undressed without anything in mind.

And yet her ample chest attracted his eyes, and his hand instinctively reached for it.

Until Chaerin beat him to the chase and grabbed for it and placed it directly on her breasts, making him squeeze it without question. Her head was lowered slightly, and Lukas couldn't quite see her face but her breathing deepened slightly.

This was an invitation and Lukas took it without hesitation.

Chaerin's legs entangled with his and pulled him closer pressing their bodies together as he groped her. He squeezed to his heart's content, before releasing his grip and tugging her chin up and kissing her.

It didn't take too long for their kiss to turn into more fervent ones, alongside a far more feverish heat coiling at his stomach and then pressing into Chaerin's. Her fingers moved and alleviated the pressure in his pants, rubbing and then freeing him further.

"Chaerin…" Lukas panted slightly, as he looked at her.

"We've been pent up for the past few days, haven't we?" Chaerin's lips twitched as she placed a kiss across his cheek and then stared at him with her deep red eyes. Their eyes glowed in mischief in the darkness of the room. "Especially you… so don't hold back. Use me to your heart's content."

Lukas' inhibitions vanished at those words, and he immediately rose up and snatched Chaerin's legs as she stifled a sound. First, he hastily peeled off her leggings, underwear and then he threw each leg on his shoulders, practically aching for himself to go at her.

For a moment though, his gaze focused on Chaerin's to check her one last time and there was a clear look of anticipation written across her face. Her breathing was unsteady, her chest rising up and down as she unwaveringly looked at him.

"What are you waiting for?"

She wanted it so much too–that it didn't take him too long to place his cock across her pussy. His eyes widened slightly at the slickness and sloppiness of her cunt, he hadn't expected her to be this wet and yet she went beyond his expectations.

Dripping and ready for him.

Lukas thrusted once and found himself enveloped completely. Waves of pleasure coursed through him and it was only the beginning.
