Chapter 25- A Night Of Dreams (Part 1)

*Crack*

Kai cracked his neck as he looked at the village around him. After knocking all the mercenaries out cold, it looked as if it was a slaughterhouse filled with dead corpses. Kai knew that these people won't be waking up for at least another day so he doesn't have to worry about them at all.

"The train will be here in the morning. We should sleep." Eva said as she yawned gently. Even that small gesture of hers was so beautiful under the faint light of the moon. Her silhouette was worthy of being called a piece of art that will take anyone's breath away.

Kai glanced at her for a brief moment before he turned to the inn and walked inside followed by Eva. The two went upstairs and as Kai was about to enter one of the random rooms in the inn, Eva asked him confusedly.

"Weren't those rooms occupied by the mercenary?"

"Possibly," Kai replied.

Seeing that, Eva weirdly pouted as she approached Kai and then daringly grabbed his arm before dragging him to the room where they initially were going to spend the day.

"Those mercenaries are dirty and disgusting. I don't want Kai to catch their germs or illnesses."

"I'm immune to all sicknesses," Kai replied blandly. He didn't get why Eva was even angry in the first place.

"But hygiene is still very important. You are going to stay in this room since it wasn't occupied before."

"I don't get the point you're trying to make. All the rooms are the sa-" Kai was about to finish his words when he opened a random room only to find that it was completely empty with no furniture or a bed to sleep on.

Eva took a peek inside before a wide, playful smirk appeared on her face.

"You were saying?" She said teasingly.

"..." Kai stayed silent as he looked at the empty room with a cold expression.

"I should've predicted this will be the case. It's an old, uninhabited village and they simply used it to try and trap us." He said.

"Fufufufufu! I guess even the almighty Kai can make mistakes too." Eva replied jokingly.

This was one of the rare times when she found an opportunity to tease Kai. The feeling that came from this was weirdly addictive. Something about teasing the most perfect human being Eva had ever met made her feel really good especially when that person is the man she loved the most and swore her life to.

Sighing, Kai turned silently and entered the room where they first spent the night. When Eva saw him walk inside, it finally weighed down on her.

'Wait, I'm going to spend the night with Kai all alone In an empty room and even an empty village Isn't this too hot?!! Oh no! I'm starting to panic! I need to calm down or Kai will feel repulsed!! I must not think like a pervert!' As she added her last words, her eyes lost focus as her mind imagined a certain scene.

In the image, she was laying on the bed, naked and Kai was on top of her, staring deep into her eyes with his hypnotizing purple eyes that were akin to a pair of deep abysses that had no end to them.

Then, he closed up on her face and whispered in her ear with his breathy voice. "Are you ready?"

Eva then nodded her head as she hugged his neck and then said in a sensual, seductive tone. "Take me~ I want you to mark me and make me your woman."

And then

At that moment, her thoughts were halted as she realized that her mouth was hanging open and drool was trickling down her chin.

'Oh no! How perverted!! What is wrong with me?! I mean, I won't mind if Kai made me his and his alone now but it's still too early. I must first make him love me back and then we can take that step.' Saying that with great resolve, Eva walked inside the room.

That's when she saw Kai coming out of the bathroom with a towel around his lower part and his black hair was wet. His bare chest and abdomen were naked for Eva to marvel at them.

"Y-You already took a shower." She said stuttering as she averted her eyes. She knew that if she looked any further at his body, she won't be able to stop herself.

"There is no shampoo. Use a bar of soap." He said as he walked to his clothes.

Eva stood there for a while, looking at him as he was about to start undressing. He didn't seem to bother with the fact Eva was there.

From what he knew, that girl can't look at his chest let alone his lower part so even if he got naked, she will look away.

Although it was odd to think that way, in Kai's head, it was the most logical conclusion and he was a faithful follower of logic.

Predictably, Eva turned around and quickly walked inside the bathroom, and closed the door. After changing back into his clothes, Kai walked to the window and stood there, looking at the star-filled sky. It was one of the few things that brought peace to his mind whenever he was thinking about something.

Thirty minutes later, Eva finally walked out of the bathroom but instead of having a towel around her sensual body, she instead was wearing a simple s.h.i.+rt and comfortable pants. Both of them always kept spare clothes in their pockets.

The way that was possible was simple. Using a form of advanced technology, they are able to create clothes that could compress to a pocket size and be ready for use at all times. It can also expand to triple its size so that even if their user grew in size, they will be able to still wear these clothes. Since both of them worked as. .h.i.tmen before, both did own such things.

It was a useful gadget for such circ.u.mstances where they need to sleep in random places.

"I-I'm finished," Eva said timidly as she looked at Kai.

Her beautiful skin was glistening under the light of the night sky and her face had a healthy blush on it from the warm bath. She looked extra seductive at that moment.

Kai turned around and then walked to the bed and sat down on it. Eva followed suit and sat on the other side. To say that she was nervous was an understatement. One of her dreams was going to be fulfilled tonight. This day was something she will never forget.

Kai, on the other hand, didn't seem that bothered as he finally rested his back on the pillow.

Eva followed after him and finally rested her back on the mattress. The two stared at the ceiling for a long time.

"Hey, Kai, can I ask a question?" Eva suddenly said as a flash of complicated emotions flashed across her eyes.

"..." The latter simply gave her a side glance, indicating for her to speak.

"Do you hate me trying to be in your life?" She asked. Although Eva tried her best not to sound hesitant, her voice still faltered slightly.

This question suddenly popped into her head at this moment when she realized something. All this time, she was the one who selfishly found Kai and selfishly tried to include herself in his peaceful life.

At first, she justified that with the fact that she loved Kai too much to live without him. However, now that she thought about it, wasn't she being ridiculous? Kai never said he wanted her. Why would she jump to the conclusion that his life would become better with her included?

That's why, when she asked this question, she just wanted an honest answer. However, in all honestly, she had no idea what she should do if he said that he actually hated her.

"... There is only one person I hate in my life. Everyone else is either annoying or Someone trustworthy enough that I can accept spending time with them in the same room." Kai replied with a mysterious tone.

Eva's eyes widened as she turned to look at Kai speechlessly.

Out of everything she expected to hear, this wasn't something she thought he would say in her wildest dreams.

"You consider me trustworthy?" She asked in disbelief.

"I always did. I tested you countless times before and every time, you proved that you aren't someone I should antagonize. However, you are foolish enough to try and link yourself with me when you know that will only carry trouble and death to your door. I find that odd but not something I would actively dislike."

'So The reason he told me to leave when we met was because He was worried about me?' Eva interpreted Kai's words as such which made her heart skip a beat.
