Chapter 19 - The Library
Martha kindly asked Luke to wait in one of the living rooms because she would let him know when the food was ready. The half-wolf secretly admired this servant girl, for it was not difficult to notice that she took her job very seriously.
The Manor had rooms for every corner and on all three floors. The room that Luke was left in, however, was a little more extravagant than most of the other rooms because this was a small private library, whose four walls were filled with books from floor to ceiling.
'Books are very expensive. They are even richer than I thought.' Anyone's book could easily equal five hundred silver coins.
Since the maid did not close the door on her way out, Luke found it strange that, while looking at the detailed spines of some books, he heard the door slowly close. Nheec...
When he turned around, he saw Ayumi Yamazaki, who was staring at him with narrowed eyes. Since the library curtains were closed, the room was somewhat dark.
"H-hello? Waiting for lunch too?" Luke said nervously, because of all the women, Ayumi was the one who made him tense the most.
As he approached slowly, the woman's nails smoothed the couch made of linen as they left a mark, and for some reason, she had a blush on her face.
"Luke, you are a boy who has not stopped surprising me since the first second we saw each other."
Luke didn't understand what she meant or why the Matriarch's heart was racing so fast. However, the strong, sweet aroma coming from the woman almost hypnotized him.
When Ayumi looked back at him, the boy took a step back and leaned against the shelf behind him. The woman was wearing a light blouse that left her back exposed, and that exposed a bold and tempting cleavage.
"I heard that you squeezed my daughter's butt..."
"N-no, ma'am... That was an accident." Luke was thinking that if he was fired for groping Nathalia's ass, Matthew would tease him for the rest of his life.
Now Ayumi was less than a foot away from Luke, and she said slowly as she moved even closer: "I don't care if it was an accident or not~ I will have to deal with you personally so that in the future you don't attack my daughter because you want to~"
Luke didn't understand what she meant: 'Is she going to kill me?' he cogitated. Although he felt no murderous urge coming from her, the sweet smell intensified more and more as she came closer.
"What did you mea—" Luke interrupted his own speech when he felt the touch of the woman's breasts on his chest. With that, he swallowed his own saliva.
The yellow eyes of the half-wolf, looked deep into those emerald green eyes of the woman while he could feel her heart beating as fast as his.
In a mild voice, she whispered as she looked into the half-wolf's mouth: "What? Do you think I'm too old for you?"
Because of those provocative words, Luke gave in to Ayumi at that moment and, for the first time in a long time, let his instincts overpower him.
As an answer to her own question, Ayumi felt her lips being touched softly by the fleshy lips of the half-wolf. Wildly, Luke brought his hands to the woman's waist and pulled her even closer. The bookcase behind him shook.
Both their hearts were racing so fast that Luke could hear them without difficulty, and to him, they seemed to be in perfect synchronization. Now it didn't matter if his heart was beating hard or if his hands were shaking, because that pleasure was indescribably good.
Ayumi, although she knew that this boy was not a child, was surprised by the bulge in the half-wolf's pants.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Quick, quiet chimes pounded on the door, and then a mellow voice said: "The food is ready now, Ranger Luke." The servant girl was too polite to open a door that was not closed by her.
Ayumi and Luke's mouths parted at that moment, and with a characteristic blush and a lustful look, the Matriarch of the Strogueher said to him: "Go first, soon I will come too."
The half-wolf, who was still speechless, responded with a long seal to finish and went to the door. Before he opened the door, he looked at Ayumi again, and seeing how beautiful she was, he could hardly believe he had the courage to kiss her.
If it was possible, the elf's cleavage seemed to become even more tempting to the half-wolf, who felt like ignoring the maid and going to kiss the Matriarch once again.
While unpacking her clothes with her hands, Ayumi saw that Luke had not yet gone, smiled at him, and whispered low. "Go!"
The half-wolf obeyed, opened the door, and followed Martha into the lunchroom.
'Ow,' thought the boy when he saw a large table that had almost thirty chairs. To him, that was an exaggerated monstrosity.
Nathalia was already sitting at the table and asked Martha, "Where is my mother?"
"I don't know, ma'am. She might be in her room or in the office. Would you like me to go check?"
"Please." The young lady asked with a smile.
After watching Martha leave the room, Nathalia noticed the blush on the half-wolf's cheeks. "Are you all, right?" She questioned with eyebrows arched in concern.
"Annn... I don't think the heat is doing me any good."
Worried, Nathalia couldn't imagine that Luke was a liar, so she got up from her own chair and pulled another for Luke to sit in. The half-wolf accepted and thanked her with a nod because his mouth was still trembling from what he had done earlier.
Before long, Ayumi appeared in the dining room. The gazes of the woman and the half-wolf met again; however, she was wearing a different expression, much more severe.
"Guard, before you and my daughter go to the Guild, I have to ask you a few questions."
Luke just nodded again and controlled himself. He knew he was there to rob that family and protect Nathalia, so he didn't want to deviate from his goal.
"What is your connection to Shiro? Martha told me that when she went to introduce you to him, you two said you already knew each other and you seemed pretty thrilled."
