Chapter 282: Lovers' Affection
Aria fell to her knees and hugged Zach tightly without saying anything.
"…" Victoria also did the same and hugged Zach.
"I was so worried!" Aria said.
"We are sleeping in the same room from now on!"— Victoria.
Zach hugged Victoria and Aria back with a smile on his face and enjoyed the hug.
"Just letting you girls know that I can feel your boobs hitting on my chest," Zach said with a grin on his face.
"We are doing that on purpose," they both said in unison.
"Then press even more, please…"
After the short hug, Aria and Victoria looked at Zach and jumped on him to kiss him, but Ninia walked into the room and interrupted them.
"What are you two doing?!" she yelled at Aria and Victoria. "My Lord still needs to rest, so stop troubling him!"
Ninia separated Aria and Victoria from Zach and said, "You are not allowed to see him until I give you permission."
"I have had enough!" Aria's face twitched in anger, and she glared at Ninia with a furious look on his face. "Who are you to tell me when to meet him?"
"I am his first follower!"
"I am his wife! You have no right to interfere in our business!"
"Yeah!" Victoria seconded Aria.
"Calm down, you two." Zach quipped. "Ninia is just worried about me. Don't fight like that."
Aria glared at Zach because she thought he was taking Ninia's side in the argument.
"Whoa! What's with that glare? I am just saying that there is no need to fight." Zach turned to Ninia and said, "And Ninia, I am honestly fine. There is no need to worry about me."
Ninia bit her lips and said, "if you say so…"
"Now, can any of you help me to stand up? I still can't move my body fully."
Victoria grabbed Zach's hand and helped him get up, but Zach's legs were still numb, so he had no control over where his body would move.
Victoria glanced at Ninia from the corner of her eyes and smirked at her, before pulling Zach close to her and falling on the bed with him. Just like how Zach had tripped and fallen on Ninia a few minutes ago, he fell on top of Victoria, but on the bed.
Since they fell on the bed, the impact was cushioned and neither of them felt any pain.
"…" Victoria wrapped her arms around Zach's neck and smiled at him before staring into his eyes and saying, "Do you remember the exact same thing that has happened before?"
Zach smiled back at Victoria and kissed her on the lips. Then, he placed his forehead on her forehead and said, "How can I forget that."
Zach and Victoria were referring to the time when they were still dating and decided to have sex for the first time. Since Victoria's parents weren't home, they decided to do it in Victoria's room.
But unlike Zach, Victoria was nervous, and she was having second thoughts. She decided to calm herself down by taking a bath, but Zach thought she was planning to run away, so he grabbed her hand to ask her if she was alright. Due to that, Victoria's leg slipped, and she ended up tripping.
Zach tried to save her from hitting on the ground, so he hugged her and took damage. Of course, it didn't hurt Zach as it was only a normal fall for Zach, but Victoria was scared.
She felt responsible for it and started crying, and while comforting her, one thing led to another, and they did the deed.
"I wonder if it would have turned out differently if we were as honest and open with our feelings as we are now," Victoria asked.
"Maybe…"
Zach kissed Victoria again and moved his hand to her chest.
"Ahem!" Aria cleared her throat and said, "Don't forget that we are still here."
Aria didn't seem bothered by Zach and Victoria's flirting, but Ninia looked upset.
'Even though I was the one who took care of him the most…' she uttered inwardly.
GROWL~!
Zach's stomach suddenly growled.
"Uhh…" Zach turned to Aria and Ninia and said, "I haven't eaten or drank anything in three days, can we go to a restaurant and eat something?"
"Sure," Aria nodded.
Zach glanced around to look for his clothes, but he couldn't find them anywhere.
"Umm… where are my clothes?" he asked Aria and Victoria.
"They should be here in the room…" Aria and Victoria also glanced around to look for Zach's clothes.
"Weird…"
Aria turned to Ninia to ask her if she knew, but Ninia averted her gaze in response, and that was enough for Aria to realize what happened to Zach's clothes.
Ninia had taken Zach's clothes to her chamber, and she used them to sniff, so she could feel Zach was sleeping next to her. No one knew about it, and even she had no idea why she was doing something like that.
'I am seriously worried about Zach and Ninia's relationship. With how things are going right now, it might turn into a taboo relationship between a God and his first follower…' Aria uttered inwardly.
"Well, whatever. Give me a few minutes, I will conjure new clothes."
"Okay."
Aria, Ninia, and Victoria left the room.
Zach was smiling when he was with the girls, but as soon as they left the room, his smile vanished and his face became lifeless again.
He still couldn't get over the nightmarish memory he saw. But he knew he had to move on.
He took a deep breath and slapped himself on the cheeks to get his thoughts straight. He then opened his menu to equip new clothes, but he looked at his notifications and saw he had received over 1000 messages from Aurora.
"….!"
Zach opened them and skimmed through the messages.
"Oh, shit…!"
He immediately opened the portal to Aria's domain and rushed in to meet Aurora.
