“I can feel it, this would be the best painting we have ever made,” Nux spoke with a confident smile on his face. Hearing those words, Evane just smiled and shook her head. “Do you want to say, the best painting ‘I’ have ever made?” She questioned with a soft chuckle. “Whatever do you mean?” Nux couldn’t understand. “You haven’t even touched the paintbrush since ‘we’ started this painting this, Nux. All you are doing is…” “Oh C’mon, don’t act like I am not doing anything.” Nux smiled as he moved his chest towards Evane’s back, while his hands moved around her waist slowly, and alluringly. “Mmhmmm.” Evane’s back arched up as she took a deep breath. “Tell me, what have you done then?” She questioned. Nux then placed his chin on Evane’s shoulder and answered, “I made sure that your state of mind is in the best possible condition with my intensive care.” “My state of mind?” Evane smiled as she questioned. “Well, of course, you aren’t going to claim that my presence here means nothing to you, right?” “Of course not. Your presence means a lot to me, however, I still don’t see how that is considered as you helping me in this painting in any way?” “Well, as I said, it’s your state of mind. With me here, you feel different, you feel comfortable, you feel calm, you feel good, you feel fresh, With my presence, you feel relaxed. It may not look much from the outer perspective, but trust me, it is helping you a lot. So make sure to always call me whenever you start your painting, alright?” Nux whispered softly while he rested her head on Evane’s head. Heating his words, Evane just smiled. Although she didn’t know if her art improved or not, one thing was sure, Nux’s presence here indeed lightened her heart. Especially his gentle touch. That made her feel protected. She treasured that feeling. “Oh? But how am I going to call you?” “That is a simple task, all you have to do is think about me in your mind, and I will appear right in front of you.” “And how are you going to do that?” Evane raised her eyebrow while she continued to paint on the canvas. “With the power of Love~” Nux answered dramatically. Evane shook her head, then, she balanced her head with Nux’s. “Alright then, from now on, I will use the power of love to contact you, I hope you will answer me.” Saying that, Evane turned her head a little and then, She gave a small peck on Nux’s cheek, which, actually surprised Nux a lot. “So kissing is allowed now?” He questioned. “A-As long as you don’t go overboard…” Evane answered with a red face. It has only been a few days since the two of them decided to become lovers and all this while, their relationship has grown a lot deeper than before. Therefore, Evane wanted to take things even forwards, therefore, she allowed these little kisses. Was she going too fast? She was asking this question to herself as well, however, in the end, she decided to place her trust in Nux. “Heeeheeeheee” Who, right now, was laughing creepily. “What happened?” Evane questioned. “Nothing, nothing happened at all. You can continue to paint, don’t worry.” Nux answered with a playful smile on his face. Evane frowned. She was sure that something did happen, however, in the end, she just shook her head and decided to focus on her painting. However, as soon as she turned her face toward the painting, Nux attacked and started kissing her cheeks as if he was a hyena who was munching on its prey. “Stooopp~” Evane felt ticklish all over her body and told him to stop. Nux, however, didn’t stop and continued. “Stooopp~ Hahaha~” Evane laughed out loud. She tried to move away, however, Nux tightened his arms around her, he even moved his legs around hers, locking her legs as well. Right now, Evane was completely at her mercy and Nux enjoyed this moment to the fullest. “Hahahaha~” Evane continued laughing as this ticklish sensation only got stronger and only after 5 minutes passed did Nux finally decide to stop. “Haah… Haahh… Haah…” Evane took deep breaths. “That was good, thanks for the meal.” Nux smiled. “Y-You… you are a brute…” Evane pouted. “You are the one who gave the permission.” Nux replied with an Evil smile. “I take back my permission.” “You can’t do that. Extra charges to take back the permission you gave.” “W-What charges.” “A kiss on the lips.” Evane’s face turned redder. “S-Shameless…” “Hahaha~” Nux laughed out. The two of them continued to chat like that, and Evane soon shifted her focus on the painting. Nux, as usual, continued to enjoy the feeling of cuddling a beautiful woman like her. The time passed and suddenly, Nux called out. “Evane…” “Hmm? What is it?” Evane, who was absorbed in her painting questioned without looking back. “Tomorrow, I want you to come with me and meet a few people.” “Hmm? Meet who?” “My other lovers.” Nux answered honestly. Evane froze. 10 seconds later, she slowly turned around and tilted her head, “Y-Your lovers…?” “Yes. I want you to meet them.” Evane frowned. “You have more lovers other than me?” Hearing that question, Nux frowned. This… Did he just do something stupid? But how? Having a harem in this world was common, very common. A man having other lovers was not frowned upon, rather, it showed that the man is capable, or had a significant status. Therefore, Nux couldn’t understand why Evane was acting like this. “Yes, I do.” In the end, Nux just decided to answer honestly. “…why didn’t you tell me this before?” After a long silence, Evane questioned. “I was afraid.” “Afraid that I won’t allow you to have other lovers?” “Afraid that you won’t give me a chance to be with you.” “…” Evane turned silent. Nux frowned as well. He did not like where this was going. He was now cursing his past self for doing something so stupid. “…alright, I’ll meet them.” Suddenly, Evane answered. However, Nux could feel that something was wrong. He tried to tighten his hug around Evane, however, Evane stood up. “I think we have painted enough for the day. I had a tiring day, so I will go and sleep now.” Saying that, Evane turned around. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
