Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 287: Attacked At Sea!

By the time the next day arrived, the first thing I did was knock on the women's room, wanting to apologize to Vanye for kissing her since I didn't want to make things awkward between; sure, I had a slight crush on her, but I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable whenever she was around me.

After knocking a few times, I patiently waited beside the door. Since it was earlier in the morning, I didn't expect them to answer immediately. However, after a few minutes, the door opened, prompting me to quickly stand up as I glanced at the petite woman standing in the doorway.

"Oh, Lazuli, not who I was looking for, but arguably better." Said Alexander lightly as he looked at Lazuli, who seemed to have just awoken only a few moments ago.

Seeing her just raise an eyebrow at my words while puckering her lips, I rolled my eyes as I leaned down and passionately kissed her, tongue and all while her saliva entered my mouth; she's gotten a bit spoiled and refuses to speak to me unless I giver her a morning kiss.

'Ho, though I'm sure not complaining.' Thought Alexander as he grabbed the back of Lazuli's head, pushing her further against his lips.

Reaching down, I grabbed Lazuli's thigh and pulled her leg higher to meet my waist as I pushed her against the door, my passionate kissing growing more intense by the second; I even subconsciously began to buck my hips, clearly wanting to make love with this beautiful woman. However, we were unfortunately interrupted, as the door was promptly opened, causing Lazuli and I to fall forward as I fell atop her.

"Tsk, so that's what that banging noise was." Muttered Talis in annoyance as she glanced at Alexander and Lazuli with a somewhat drowsy expression, clearly having been woken up by their loving exchange.

Awkwardly standing up, I flash a wry smile as I apologize to Talis and Vanye, both gazing at me in annoyance.

"S-Sorry." Said Alexander with a slight smile as he glanced between the two women, causing Talis to scoff while Vanye snorted.

Helping Lazuli onto her two, I awkwardly cleared my throat as I shifted my focus to Vanye, who didn't seem to be bothered with what occurred yesterday, though I didn't know if that was because her annoyance was concealing it or not.

"Um, Vanye, can I talk with you quickly, please?" Asked Alexander with a wry smile, his words causing Vanye and Lazuli to furrow their brows, only for the former to nod in agreement.

Turning around, I walked out of the room while Vanye followed behind me; walking down the hallway of the ship, I found a nice spot far away from everyone, though since it was earlier in the morning, no one was really awake.

"I-I would just like to apologize for what happen-" Said Alexander earnestly as he turned and glanced at Vanye, who suddenly interrupted him with her prosthetic finger covering his lips.

"Don't apologize, Alex. I um, I-I k-kind of l-liked it." Muttered Vanye softly as she lowered her golden prosthetic arm while averting her gaze with a faint blush adoring her cheeks, causing Alexander's eyes to sparkle.

Hearing her words, I gently wrapped my arm around her little waist, bringing her body closer to me as I grabbed her chin and forced her to look at me, only to lean down as I once again kissed her, keeping it simple and nothing intense like what I had done with Lazuli.

"Did you like that?" Asked Alexander as he retracted his lips and looked at Vanye, who covered her mouth and looked away, only to nod a few moments later, causing him to smile.

However, before I could get too happy about this seemingly major step forward in our relationship, Vanye once again covered my mouth with my finger while her other hand removed my arm, which was wrapped around her waist, confusing me.
