177 Chapter 177 Bittersweet Morning

The tingling gave by the sunlight touching his face told Desmond that it was time to get up, surprisingly Desmond did not seem tired at all from all the exercise he did the night before and on the contrary, he seemed extremely energetic; With all the stress out of his body and having fulfilled one of his deepest desires, Desmond was ready to start the day.

Claire on the other hand was the opposite, the poor girl had an exhausted smile of satisfaction on her face as she snuggled like a kitten on Desmond’s chest, as for waking up from her? Claire would probably spend the day in bed if someone allowed it.

Seeing the beauty resting on his chest made Desmond smile from the bottom of his heart, no more a playful sadistic smile that he had sometimes but a smile of true and pure happiness.

But it would not be the same if he decided to spend the whole day in bed so Desmond with all the pain in the world had to get up very careful to not wake up Claire.

Having managed to get out of bed without waking the girl, Desmond turned once more to see the woman in bed ... Happiness, warmth, pleasure, possession, dominance, obsession, and love ... all kinds of emotions both good and bad mixed inside his chest, but in the end, only the last one was important to Desmond and that was love, the love he felt for Claire was what had driven him all his life and what would continue to drive him in the future.

Coming out of his momentary daze, Desmond couldn’t help saying goodbye to the sleeping beauty, a kiss on the forehead turned into another kiss on the neck ending with another two kisses on Claire’s back, it took Desmond all his willpower to stop kissing the love of his life to avoid waking her up, but in the end, despite his reluctance, he left the room.

With Desmond gone, Claire no longer had reasons to continue pretending to be asleep, the blush covered her face and one of his hands gently held her belly, Desmond’s kisses had not only awakened her but had also made her remember everything that happened last night.

And the reason he was holding her belly was that as soon as she thought in the night she had spent making love with Desmond, she also think about the fact that they had done all of it without using protection and she no longer even remembered the number of times Desmond came inside of her; that part of her still had a warm feeling and that feeling made Claire unable to calm down.

Do not misinterpret, the fact that Desmond and Claire made love without protection does not mean that no kind of measure was taken, Claire had already taken medication to prevent pregnancy since it was one of Desmond’s conditions to access All this.

.....

Claire who still couldn’t calm down could only roll on the sheets in an attempt to sleep again, at the end of the day she was exhausted and couldn’t be like Desmond who got up early to do god knows what.

Desmond who was ignorant of Claire’s nervous state went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast like every day, although this time he would put a little extra effort to prepare a large breakfast for Claire, as for the other tenants in the house? Desmond had already seen them hiding outside the kitchen giving him occasional glances.

It was then that Desmond realized that both Sasha and Kyuru must have listened to the passionate night he had spent with Claire, of course being aware of it and knowing what to do about it were two different things; unfortunately, Desmond didn’t know what to say to the two girls so he chose to pretend not to see them.

In a matter of an hour a majestic breakfast lay quietly beside the bed where Claire was still pretending to be asleep, Sasha and Kyuru took their share of breakfast while pretending not to direct shy glances in the direction of Desmond and the latter was too preoccupied with other matters to do something about it.

′′ I heard we had uninvited visitors, Kyuru. How bad was it? ′′ Out of nowhere Desmond’s voice interrupted the awkward silence of breakfast and took by surprise the pair of shy girls who were still looking at him.

Kyuru was nervous for a moment, but when she saw Desmond’s serious face she realized that other issues could be left for later.

′′ Three men, all skill users or Espers as you call them, came separately and tried to infiltrate the house, I felt bad intentions coming from them, but they didn’t seem to want to hurt Claire directly; they were probably here to pressure or intimidate her. ′′ Contrary to the childish attitude that usually reigns over Kyuru, the fairy at this moment was being very serious and calm, if Claire were here she would recognize this attitude from when the fairy went through that strange ritual.

′′ I see, look that the ability of empathy can be quite useful, I would not have been surprised if the military came to knock on our door if Claire awakened a powerful ability what surprises me is that they did not even try to knock on the door and they were directly for intimidation tactics; It seems that things on the military side are worse than I expected... heck I didn’t want to have to get involved so soon. ′′ It was obvious from the tone of his voice that Desmond was upset about the whole thing, but there was more to his words.

This time it was Sasha’s turn to say something about it: ′′ From the way you say it it seems that you already expected trouble. ′′

Desmond looked at the girl he had brought home and after seeing that she did not seem upset or sad about last night Desmond proceeded to reply:

′′ I didn′t expect to have problems with them directly or at least not in this way, but if I do expected things on the battlefield to become complicated especially with the sudden appearance of humanoid mutant beasts, I knew that once the war worsened wanting to be out of trouble enough was nothing more than a fool’s dream so I had some things planned... but it seems I will have to advance some of my plans... damn now what I need most is time. ′′

Seeing how frustrated Desmond seemed, Sasha felt quite uncomfortable by so she offered to be of help, but Desmond told her that the best thing she could do now was trying to adjust to this world and pursue alchemy when the replacement gear that he ordered arrived; according to Desmond, what he had to do now would only involve himself.

′′ Then what will you do? ′′ Claire’s voice came suddenly from the entrance of the dining room taking everyone by surprise, but still with everyone there staring at her; Claire kept looking Desmond straight in the eye.

Desmond knew that Claire was probably worried that he would do something stupid, because let’s be honest behind the stoic appearance Desmond can have sometimes, at heart he is an unpredictable bastard and that he usually goes for drastic measures.

Even Sasha had witnessed this behavior from Desmond who tried to get rid of the necromancer Araszh at least twice by explosive means, so in fairness, Claire had every reason in the world to be concerned about Desmond’s response.

And as if he were trying to prove how wrong Claire was, Desmond, puffed out his chest proudly and replied cheekily:

′′ Easy, I’ll join the army. ′′
