Ghoul King's Harem

83  Chapter 83: Back To The Grind!

The girl's seemed to want him to spend more time together, but he was on the precipice of death.

Because of the danger of a second wave, he needed to make his women more powerful and become one of the strongest himself, still ranking in the low ranks of even local power, causing him to feel a sense of anxiety.

'If someone too powerful, like that damn zombie lord, shows up, I might lose everything..'

"Forget Sarah... Mother and Amy... I will likely die myself!"

He looked around the lecture room, now a little cosier with organised areas for clothes, food, and weapons and an area with a curtain blocking sight; this was for the woman to get changed or to see to any medical issues.

"The walls are safe; we've reinforced the doors and stocked enough water and food for a month because a Vesta eats far less than a normal human..." Alexander's words trailed off, lost in thought as the women stayed busy, some sorting the mess and trash, using it to build barricades to at least buy some time.

"Did I miss anything?"

Alexander was about to leave for the night, planning to take Mildred and Samantha with him, they were the first two women he spent time with, and he wanted to hunt in peace; Claire and her girls hadn't fully settled; thus, he would leave her to protect the entrance and base, with Maria now happily playing with her three new "Sisters."

'I think Maria, Megan, Patricia and Himari will make a good team; Stella is a little jealous but will join their team.'

He thought back to a few moments earlier, after leaving the makeshift room for him, as suddenly his body was pulled into a dark corner, smothered in the black tendrils of Stella, as she began to kiss him passionately, her tongue almost cutting off his oxygen and she wrapped around him tightly.

"Mmmmph~ Alex.... am I not useful now we're back?"

"What do you mean, Stella?" He said softly, stroking her cheek, enjoying the squishy sensation.

"Since we got back... you stopped...." Stells began to twist her hips, the tendrils of shadow-like fingers and hands rubbing against each other when people were shy or introverted, which caused Alex to smile; he found her adorable, reaching out as their fingers intertwined, holding each other's hands tightly.

"Silly, you are the only succubus for me; I just have to take care of these girls. They are not as strong or steadfast as you are." His face pressed against her cheek, gently kissing her smooth face, whispering into her sensitive ear.

"Hmph... who is strong... don't neglect me, okay?"

"I'll get really mad... and you won't like it! Hmph!"

"Alright, I promise to make time each day just for you, okay? How about tonight, after I get back from hunting with Mildred and Samantha, we sleep together? You don't have to do anything; rest on shadow tendrils became more animated, betraying her little pout.

17:27

"Okay, then I have to go; otherwise, I'll lose another day..."

my chest; I'll keep you safe."

He didn't miss her eyes lighting up as she quickly turned away from his face, a light blush on her cheeks, her fingers twiddling and playing with his.

Alex could see the cute succubus tail swaying with a delightful dance in the air behind her; even the shadow tendrils became more animated, betraying her little pout.

"Okay, then I have to go; otherwise, I'll lose another day..."

The moment he began to pull away, he felt her fingers yank him back before he was more than half a metre away, her eyes looking at him before she stepped on her tiptoes, her eyes lightly closed, pushing her lips out.

Her eyelids opened up when they were only millimetres apart... She took several long breaths as if enjoying this scene immensely while focusing all attention on their proximity and excitement growing further when he brought one hand down behind her head, gently gripping it softly beneath his palm, then pulling himself closer...

His other arm wrapped around under hers for support, bringing them closer once again—further increasing how intimate everything became between two people who had always seemed like cat and mouse...

"Hmph... who wanted to ki...Mnnnnph!?"

Alex ignored her usual tsundere act, closing her mouth tightly with his, the soft red lips squishing and pressing against his, as her eyes dilated, before closing her arms, shadow mantle and tail wrapping around his back, her body swaying gently as their kiss continued. His hands pulled themselves slowly forward until. Eventually, one reached into that crimson hair, cupping each side in front of its own as she leaned closer to him occasionally, making sure nothing went wrong now or ever...

After what must have been 4 or five minutes, he broke off from kissing, taking another deep breath through pursed lips, smiling slightly but not breaking eye contact yet, feeling something warm running down onto his chin where some moisture escaped her bottom lip's suction power.

Alex chuckled, leaning forwards and wiping the drool away using both thumbs, leaving no trace. He smiled brightly at her reaction, ending any possible awkwardness—though neither would admit anything.

"I'm going, my cute succubus."

His body quickly left, her chest still heaving up and down, lost in the bliss of the sweet lover kiss, less lustful and more filled with his affection, gratitude and passion towards her; he looked back, and Stella still stood in a daze, both hands wrapped over her chest, likely due to how fast and powerful her heart was beating since the kiss.

"Mmmm..... I'll wait..." She whispered gently, only just caught by his sharp ears, bringing a smile to his face.

The warm, immersive memory ended as he found his body now in the bitter cold of the main courtyard of Lone Star Campus, his feet walking towards the stern-looking Mildred, who stood with a shortbow in her hands, a makeshift quiver hanging from her waist, along with the same dress as both Lapis and Ruby wore. Still, thick black stockings on her hips hide her legs rather than going commando.

"Mildred!" He called with a deep voice, not caring about sound as fewer than a hundred zombies were left nearby.

"Shhh! Alexander... There are still zombies around; we haven't finished clearing!" Her voice was a little stern as she looked at him with piercing emerald eyes, stepping closer after she seemed to send some signals to a small group of Vesta.

"Okay... okay! Don't get angry... it'll ruin your beautiful face, haha!"

"Whatever... I'm unlike those stupid girls who fall for your stupid words..." Mildred retorted while curling her fingers through her hair and looking away from his face, her lips twisting before she continued.

"We are going hunting tonight? Me, you and Sammi?" Her body twisted, naturally leaning closer, her nose sniffing as if trying to hide her actions.

Alex enjoyed women like Stella and Mildred; they didn't just affirm him, sometimes scolding him for his mistakes or actions, despite being his Vesta.

Mildred and Laura were currently less far gone than even his newest Vesta.

'A little concerning, but let's take it slow; I want them to become a mine of their own volition now because I forced them to; Laura and Mildred are important both to the group and me personally...'

Especially Mildred, his first Vesta and a woman who looked similar to his mother, her atmosphere of an adult woman and why he didn't snap her neck when they first met. Thus, he couldn't bare to lose Mildred now and would take things at her pace.

'She did go through a severe trauma and had to suffer hell to survive.'

"Yeah, I wanted to spend some more time with you, my first Vesta and Samantha, who is the second. Do you mind? I can change it if you don't wish to be alone with me?" He spoke with a concerned and sultry tone as he observed her reactions.

Her hands tightened, pressing nails into her hands; she looked at him at first and seemed offended but bit her lower lip, dragging it before speaking. She then let out a quiet sigh, stepping closer to him, her body slightly trembling, but she didn't pull back from him.

"I will come; I want to spend more time with you. Otherwise, those new girls will steal my spot, and I'll lose the chance to get revenge..."

"Good, I like you being close to me. It's soothing."

"Me too... ah!?" Mildred blurted out her true feelings before taking a deep breath. She seemed like she might change them, but instead, she shook her head and looked Alex in the eyes with a slightly wry smile.

"It's nice being around you, Alex; your scent makes me feel at ease and improves my mood, while the aura you release makes me feel secure and protected, so those horrible things and disgusting memories begin to fade, and I lower my guard."

The beautiful blonde woman took another step, one of the first times she'd approached him this close after they met and fought each other to the death.

He felt her hands reaching out, touching his cheeks, the smooth, silky sensation of her fair palms brushing against his face.

"You are like a drug; the more I spend time around you, the more I want to be beside you and never leave... Despite my skill saying it's because of the blood inside me, my mind and heart disagree because I know that blood doesn't affect feelings and only stops me from hurting you, right?"

She said with a confident tone, her sparkling emerald eyes like stars in the night sky, her fingertips sliding around his cheeks while her thumbs traced along his lips; he felt a little touchy but tried to avoid any quick movements, wanting to avoid driving her away.

Alex could see her face growing more confident, the slight goosebumps on her arms fading as if she was using his face to adjust her body; he listened to her deep, long breaths and the thudding heart inside her chest.

"Hey, Alex... If I fell for you, you'd protect and keep me safe and never abandon me, right?"

He felt her words were not just a joke or question; looking into her eyes, he saw various emotions, from hope to curiosity and fear. Yet before he could think, his mouth moved to answer her within moments as if instinctual.

"I would always keep you beside me and protect you until my body was broken."

"Mmm..."

Once her slight hum sounded, she quickly released his face and turned around, her hands clasped behind her back as she began to sway her body and slowly step away in silence, leaving Alex slightly confused and struggling to continue.

"Yahoo!! I'm here, darling!"

Thud!

A woman jumped from the second-floor building, her body wearing a tight-fit shirt that allowed her breasts to wobble violently with her leap and a pair of black jeans that were worn low on her hips; when Alex looked at her belly, he saw the same engravement that Lapis and Ruby had... the arrow pointing inside her jeans.

'Another one....' Alex thought.

"Let's go hunting!" Samatha rushed forward, wrapping her body around Alex's arm with a seductive grin as she sniffed his body, unreserved as she began to caress and push him towards the gate.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Thus thankfully, the awkward moment was broken by Samantha's cheerful and loud personality; Alex wondered if this sneaky girl was up there all the time, enjoying Mildred and his conversation, as he could feel the presence of a Vesta up there, just thinking it might have been Maria.

"Come, Mildred, let's have a nice hunt!" Alex turned back, looking at her beautiful face under the ardent moonlight's glow, just like when he made her his Vesta and offered her his hand again.

Instantly, just like that night.

She took his hand, her face filled with a smile as she darted forward, currently occupying his left side, while Samantha took a right, her voice now more animated and filled with vibrance.

"Mmmm! Always!"
