Goddess Wives x Eternal Dungeon

42 Chapter 2: Elizabeth’s Worries. A Lonely Heart.

I seated Elizabeth down, ensuring she was comfortable—Mother always told me to treat girls well but not to overdo it and make myself look pathetic.

Ah, the horrible feeling of having her take me out and practise together… She would snort at me if I were too pathetic…. the deep wounds in my heart!

[Hmmm]

{(I think you will be made a cuck by his mother… You should pray she doesn’t want to sleep with him.)}

[(Shaddup!)]

Now that I was handsome and more confident, the line between gentleman and simp was more obvious or much easier to pass as a gentleman.

The ugly me would be a simp no matter how well I treated a woman.

“How are you feeling?” I asked, wondering if she was alright. Seeing Aki this morning made me realise that my increased strength was a little dangerous—being able to walk later was rather lucky.

My hand passed the menu, made with leather and cloth, opening to a lovely menu with beautiful cursive writing. 𝑜𝗏𝐞𝗅xt.𝚌𝓞𝓂

Surprisingly it had a great menu—when I browsed, they did light meals and the usual breakfast menu, such as chilled waffles and honey or savoury meals.

“It’s still swollen and hurts a bit… Other than that, I am fine.” She looked away from me with a red face. It seemed she got my meaning rather than the boring normal reason.

However, the way she looked shy picking stuff from the menu was cute; this place was a decent level but not too expensive she needed to feel so conscious of herself.

“Pick anything you like—I’ll be paying for today, and then next time, we can go half when I’m paying you.”

“Mmm…” Like a mosquito, Elizabeth’s voice was rather quiet as she muttered, “…thank you, Rai.” Her fingers and shoulders seemed to relax more upon hearing this as she began peering at me with strange eyes. “Can I get several things?” Her tongue poked out, seeming to be a little cheeky.

I enjoyed her honesty—from Aki’s information. Her home was like ours, maybe worse… That night when she came clean, it still echoed in my mind each time we spoke.

I chose apartments and not a house to live with her and ensure she was mentally stable.

[That’s so rich coming from you…]

Shhh!

“Pick whatever you want—I have 20,000, so try not to go over that much.” She was halfway through drinking when my word caused her to choke on the water before banging the table a few times…

Thank god it was empty, and the sound wasn’t loud.

“S-Sorry… Aki said that-”

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you the source one day, but just know it’s legally earned.”

“So much money, and you choose me to work with?” Her voice seemed self-deprecating before I needed to grasp her hand and stroke it gently.

“Well, what can I say? You were the only one that caught my eye.”

That reminded me of the bastard who left with the other girl; he still hadn’t gotten back to me. Let’s hope that woman didn’t stab him or make him into her wallet.

[Cruel… A man’s friendship is so raw and cruel!]

“Now order your food, and you can discuss with me what you need. Or did you come because you wanted to leave your home?”

As the waitress came, she shuddered briefly at his words, trying to hide the slight bruising on her arm from me using her long-sleeved dress.

After we ordered, it took 10 minutes for them to bring most of our food. I was hungry and needed a lot of calories because of last night and the dungeon, so I got 3 waffles with blueberries and cream: a yoghurt and oat breakfast smoothie and some bacon rolls.

That said…

“Do you like cinnamon rolls and bacon?” I asked as Elizabeth calmed down after eating one of her two cinnamon rolls and polishing off her iced coffee.

Elizabeth hummed, “Yeah… why do you ask?”

I pointed to the cream on her cheek and smiled, enjoying the fresh feeling of eating with a woman that wasn’t family alone. She seemed to grow more relaxed as time went on.

Elizabeth’s cheeks flushed pink, but then her expression shifted to that of a smirk, “Really?” she asked with a teasing edge. She then took the last cinnamon roll and ripped off the side full of gooey icing… then she placed the gooey side over her tongue and looked me dead in the eyes, “Won’t this go to waste?~”

…

I looked at her like an idiot as she slid it into her mouth, licking the icing off slowly before taking it out again to bite off the end and lick her lips. I didn’t say anything, but it was difficult not to reach out and kiss her right then and there.

She slowly slid the icing over her tongue and pulled the roll away, staring at it with an innocent smile. “Oh dear, the rest will go to waste.” She offered it to me, but then her face got close, and I whispered.

“It’d be a waste for someone not to take it… don’t you think?~” she cooed at me as she put it into my mouth, the taste was strange, but her flavour suited the cinnamon roll well.

While I was eating, it was interesting that she just watched me before her voice said something that my brain didn’t register, she repeated it, and the one who got angry was not me. But Eternia.

[Little hussy! You are like a sex sleeve! Not a girlfriend one use, and he tosses you in the bin filled with cum!]

{(Where did our cute Eternia learn such vulgar words…)}

“Will you consider it? Becoming my lover for real?” Elizabeth asked, snapping me back to reality as I ate. She seemed hesitant as I was thinking over her words, but my heart fluttered with joy when she looked at me with such sincerity.

“Yes,” I answered her after a brief moment of hesitation. I was happy, but the uncertainty of my future still haunted me. “I’m just worried about the future… You know you’ll be my employee first before a lover, right? Can you deal with that?” It wasn’t that big a deal, I’d already slept with her, taken her purity, and she would be helping me make money.

someone to call to take around to spend money on at night. Aki is a bit too wild, and I might break her 13:45

or cuddle on the couch.

Eternia would stop me from being fooled or making stupid choices, and It would be nice to have someone to call to take around to spend money on at night. Aki is a bit too wild, and I might break her or cuddle on the couch.

But the way Elizabeth stared at me as if I had lost my mind was concerning, so I asked her, “Is it a problem?”

She shook her head. “No, but… do you know how many women would love to be in my place right now? They’d love to be in your arms and share your bed… to have you and treat them like women, not employees!” she asked, a small spark of anger flashing across her eyes before it subsided, and she continued.

“To be loved, touched and taken out for a night on the town, then back to your arms. Even the ones in relationships would try… that’s how amazing of a man you are, Rai!” she declared.

Hmmmm, why does she know me so well? My face seemed to have caused her to understand before she smiled, wiping her hands of oil and cream before stroking my hand.

“Aki spent years telling me about this splendid brother of hers, and the night you gave me wasn’t bad. I never thought I would orgasm the first time~.”

She leaned in closer, whispering into my ear, her warm breath blowing into my nose, a strange blend of bacon, coffee and cinnamon. “I asked my friends, and it’s very rare… so I should be thankful you were so skilled and big…”

“They called me a liar when I spoke of your size, haha. Those bitches that kept saying I was inferior, all asking for pictures of my boyfriend… Ah!”

So this is where the boyfriend thing came from—oh well. It’s nice to be complimented, especially by sexy blonde women. Changing the subject, I grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes. “How will you go about business? Do you have a solid aim or goal yet?”

She seemed to calm down when I touched her hand and asked about her, but she wasn’t very talkative.

“I have three ideas but would need a long time to explain and discuss with you… Maybe we could get a room together or something tonight or tomorrow?” Her eyes looked at the table, seemingly too shy to look at me properly.

“Do you want to cover business and pleasure all in one night?” I asked, curious and wanting to ensure I didn’t mess up. I did feel something more than simple desire towards her but wasn’t sure of how far my attraction went.

She nodded at me, blushing slightly at my question but trying to hide it. She did a bad job of it, so I found her adorable when she wasn’t trying to tease or flirt. “That would be… good.” I just smiled at her.

“Well then, shall we get on with today?”
