425 Chapter 425-Scarlet Happy And Pissed Off.

Austin POV:

'I need to get her to understand,'

I thought as I walked towards a certain location, my steps light after the great night I had. I could slowly feel the walls of sanity that Grace built around her heart slowly breaking down, and once it's completely down, I will be able to move forward with my plans for her.

My walk through the academy was completely silent, and no one was able to perceive my presence as I kept walking. This was better than dealing with all those eyes that were always focused on me. With light steps, I soon reached the top of the academy, and just as I did, a body hugged me as I hugged her back.

"I missed you~" I muttered into Scarlet's ear as she hugged me tighter, her well-defined breasts pressing against my chest, while the scent unique to her filled my nose. We slowly stayed in such a position for a few minutes, after which Scarlet slowly left the hug, her golden pride-filled pupils looking at me with love.

"You aren't hurt, right?" Scarlet asked me in a low voice to which I responded, waving my hands.

"What do you think?"

My question prompted her to look at me better, her eyes seemingly sparkling as she kept looking through me with her sharp eyes. Soon, a few seconds later, a smile formed on her lips as she responded.

"You aren't hurt..."

"Of course," I said as I got her hands as I walked towards the edge of the building. We were back again at the top place where Scarlet had confessed her feelings for me. At times, we would gather here for dates and just spend time with each other. It was more of our secret love spot, a place that Scarlet had cut off so that no one would disturb us when we were here.

"Tell me, how was it?" Scarlet asked as she took a seat on my lap, her hands around my neck, while a smile filled her face. I didn't respond directly to her words as I kept looking at Scarlet.

As Scarlet sat on my lap, her lean body fitting perfectly against mine. Her ash grey hair framed her face perfectly, drawing my attention to her golden pupils with a slit in them. She was dressed in a simple brown one-piece dress that covered her body, but it couldn't hide her incredible curves.

I leaned in to kiss her, starting with a soft and gentle touch of our lips. But the passion quickly escalated, and soon we were kissing each other fiercely, our tongues dueling for dominance. Scarlet's hands were wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer to her as we kissed. I couldn't get enough of her.

As the kiss intensified, I moved my hands down to her waist, pulling her even closer to me. I could feel her heat and the dragon might be emanating from her body, driving me wild with desire. Our kisses became deeper, more urgent, as we lost ourselves in the moment.

I couldn't resist running my hands over her curves, feeling the softness of her skin under my fingertips. Scarlet moaned softly into my mouth, and I knew I was driving her crazy too. Our bodies pressed tightly against each other as we continued to kiss, our passion reaching new heights.

Finally, we pulled away from each other, our breaths ragged and our bodies still buzzing with desire. I looked into Scarlet's golden eyes as I spoke.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too," she responded with her eyes shining in desire, but I didn't push it for now. I wasn't ready to take that step with her. My right hand held her face as I spoke.

"For now, we can't."

My words dimmed her mood as she looked at me, waiting for me to continue.

"I told you, until I'm done with my things, you have to wait."

My words caused her to sigh as she reined in her desire for now. Giving me a nod, she kissed my lips and moved in closer, placing her head on my chest.

"I'll wait for you."

Her light whisper filled my ears, making me bite my lips in sadness. A lingering moment filled between us until I spoke.

"How about this...meet my family."

As soon as I finished speaking, Scarlet raised her head and looked at me with surprise, her golden pupils trembling, seemingly asking me if I was speaking the truth. I smiled lightly at it, my right hand once again holding her face as the light smile on me staying.

"It's the truth. I want you to meet my family as my woman."

The words only widened Scarlet's eyes as a beautiful smile came to her face, one that took my breath for a moment. I quickly broke out of my daze as I asked the gushing Scarlet.𝑓𝗿𝐞e𝑤𝚎𝗯n𝗼ν𝙚l. 𝑐𝒐𝓶

"So, are you willing?"

"Yes!" Scarlet replied as her laughter filled the entire place. I could literally feel the mana in the surroundings dancing to her happiness, a trait blessed upon the dragons, one that is only accessed by Mira in her domain phase.

'Good, she's happy. Now to break it down,' I thought.

Thinking so, we sat there in silence. I started to naturally speak about the experiences that I went through in the realm, from me entering it, having to face enemies and traitors, me saving Marlene, and my battles together with Marlene and Catherine. Of course, I hid the family details for now, that's not mine to spoil.

I even talked about how I had a very dangerous and heart-pumping adventure with Sabrina, my expression turning light and fun when I spoke of them. Of course, as I spoke, I could see the smile on Scarlet's face trembling, while the mana in the surroundings no longer felt very happy.

Obviously, Scarlet didn't show her anger and jealousy as she was quite good at hiding it. But in front of me, it was all useless. Her expression turned lighter when I spoke of how I led the battle within the city. My vivid details and information made Scarlet smile with pride for me, though the worry she had for me was evident on her face.

"Sigh, it must have been hard," Scarlet spoke as she rubbed my face with a smile.

"It was," I responded as I lightly smiled with relief, my expression turning complex for a moment which Scarlet quickly saw. Her eyes gleamed as she asked me.

"Is something wrong?"

"It...," I hesitated, my face expressing a range of emotions. Finally, I made a 'decision' and spoke to Scarlet. "It would seem that I developed a certain crush on Marlene."

As soon as the words left my mouth, the academy began to tremble again, just like when Scarlet had first confessed to me.

"What?" she asked, her expression confused and unable to accept the fact that I could have a crush on someone else when I was with her. I poked Scarlet's nose and smiled. "I said I have a crush on Marlene."

My words brought Scarlet back to reality, and she screamed for answers, the smile no longer gracing her lips.

"I didn't want to lie to you, Scarlet. I did develop a crush on Marlene as we fought together and she saved my life, but it in no way means she's above you. It was just an attraction, and I killed it afterward. The only reason I'm telling you this is that I don't want to hide anything from you."

As I finished speaking, Scarlet looked at me with a serious face until her body slowly disappeared from my embrace.

"I'll talk to you later," she said, disappearing from my lap. As soon as she did, my smile turned into one of 'sadness', and I felt 'guilty'.

"Don't go," I whispered, reaching out for her, only to find nothing. I was the perfect portrayal of a boyfriend who felt sad for having those feelings but hid his true sadness behind a smile for his woman.

+500 affection.

'Hook, line, and sinker,' I thought to myself, a devious light flashing through my eyes. I continued to sit there for some time, waiting for Scarlet to return, but not seeing her presence, my expression turned hurt as I stood up and started to walk away, all the while knowing that Scarlet was watching me with cold eyes filled with her love.
