Chapter 76. A Warm Morning
On the cold morning, long-absent birdsong finally returned.
Chirp… chirp… The sounds slipped into the room and became the last call that roused the sleepers.
Xander opened his drowsy eyes.
The light in the room was still a little dim, and he just stared blankly at the ceiling.
Then the weight pressing down on both sides brought his awareness back.
Lowering his head, he saw two innocent sleeping faces.
Seele.
Bronya.
The memories of last night awoke in an instant, and his heartbeat seemed to burst forth anew.
Looking at this scene, he still felt a little unreal even now.
Feeling the warmth on both sides, Xander tightened the arms holding them just a little.
But then, the sensation in his right hand...
Almost instinctively, he gave a gentle squeeze. Bronya's eyes fluttered open immediately, her pale gray pupils hazy with sleep. She shot him a reproachful glance, though a hint of allure naturally lingered in her gaze.
"Haven't you had enough?"
Her teasing words hung in the air, but instead of stopping him, Bronya generously relaxed her body, allowing his hand to explore further. Then, she lazily nestled her flushed face against his firm chest and closed her eyes again.
This feeling of waking up beside someone she loved was truly wonderful. She wanted to indulge in this attachment just a little longer.
Their movements also woke Seele on the other side.
She didn't open her eyes.
She simply rubbed against her brother out of habit, her small hands gently pawing at him until they found his cheek.
"Brother~"
Letting out a soft, murmuring call, Seele kept her eyes closed and slowly leaned in.
She murmured his name softly, still with her eyes closed, and slowly pushed herself up to lean closer to him.
The tender touch of her lips, followed by the slight nibble of her teeth, soon brought a satisfied smile to her face. She lay back down, pressing her face into the crook of his neck, snuggling tightly against him as she breathed in his scent.
This lazy, spoiled display that belonged only to the two girls made Xander's heart grow even gentler.
Glancing at the time, he withdrew that misbehaving hand and placed one hand on each of Seele and Bronya's heads, gently stroking them.
With his eyes closed, he shared the warm aftertaste of the morning with them.
Only when the sun rose and the room grew fully bright did the three finally get up, one after another.
"Brother~"
Sitting at the vanity, Seele rubbed her eyes and yawned, sweetly acting spoiled toward her brother.
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
Under Bronya's curious gaze, Xander came up behind Seele with a comb and began gently tidying the short hair that had become a little messy overnight.
Seele lightly swung her feet and closed her eyes in contentment.
Soon, Seele's hair was smoothed out again.
Before Bronya could speak, Xander turned his gentle gaze to her.
"Want me to comb yours too?"
"Mhm!"
Bronya nodded without hesitation and sat where Seele had just been, full of anticipation.
Feeling the fingers sliding softly through her hair, and seeing in the mirror how earnest and careful her lover looked, Bronya felt a tremendous sense of satisfaction, both in body and in heart.
So Seele has been living this kind of heavenly life all along?!
Regret.
Right now, she felt very, very regretful.
But just as Bronya was sinking into this enjoyment, she suddenly felt Xander's movements slow, even come to a halt.
She opened her eyes in puzzlement—only to see in the mirror that Xander's gaze had turned to one side.
Over there, the soft light illuminated Seele' slender, jade-like back. She was barely clothed, her hands reaching behind her as she struggled to fasten a bra that had recently felt a bit too tight.
Then, she let out a soft sigh and sat down on the stool. The fullness of her hips pressed against the flat surface, creating a soft curve as she leaned forward, accentuating her alluring figure.
Her delicate fingers reached out, gently hooking onto the pure white stockings. She slowly slipped them over her toes, her thumbs sliding into the gap between the stockings and her ankles. Pinching the edges, she gradually drew the stockings up along her calves until they reached the area just below her thighs, near the absolute territory, where she gently released them.
With a soft snap, the stockings settled against her tender skin, slightly digging into her flesh and creating a new kind of beauty.
Her plump, shapely legs and the white stockings complemented each other perfectly, making one want to hold them in their hands and admire them closely or even savor them like a delicacy, experiencing their infinite charm.
It's been said that girls are at their most beautiful and alluring when they're either putting on clothes or taking them off. Indeed, the wisdom of the ancients does not deceive!
As he was gradually getting absorbed in it, he suddenly felt a nudge to his lower abdomen.
Looking down, he met Bronya's eyes, which carried a faint sourness.
Being willing to be together with Seele didn't mean Bronya couldn't get jealous.
Especially right now—her lover was supposed to be attending to her, yet his attention had been drawn away by Seele.
With a slightly sour tone, she looked at him and spoke slowly.
"Does it look good?"
"…Mm."
Goodness—so honest.
Bronya froze for a moment, then her expression turned even more aggrieved.
"You're already like this, and you still can't keep your eyes on me alone while you're doing my hair?"
"Sorry."
Feeling he was in the wrong, Xander immediately withdrew his gaze from Seele and refocused on Bronya.
On the other side, once Seele felt the gaze disappear, she immediately sped up getting dressed.
She no longer did any movements that emphasized her figure—what she'd done just now felt almost like a performance prepared for a certain someone.
"Hmph~"
Letting out a soft hum, Bronya looked at Xander in the mirror, her face slightly flushed as she lifted her hand and tugged at the collar of her pajamas, revealing the deep cleavage formed by the valley of her breasts.
Then, she whispered, "Besides, it's not like I'm forbidding you to look..."
…
"Should I be saying 'good afternoon' now?"
After dawdling until close to noon, the three finally finished being affectionate and came out of the room.
In the living room, Kaguya—who had gotten up early—had been waiting there for quite some time, and there were portions of food on the table that had already gone cold.
"Sorry, we got up late today."
Seeing this, the three promptly apologized to Kaguya.
Just looking at those dishes that had gone completely cold was enough to tell how long she had waited.
"It's nothing. As long as my lord and you two rested well."
Kaguya shook her head without the slightest concern, then stood up and carried the plates back to the kitchen.
"You must be hungry.
This concubine will reheat the food at once."
"Seele will help too!!"
Soon, the steaming dishes were brought back out.
But when he saw the oysters, chive and egg, yam chicken soup, soft-shelled turtle soup, and black rice porridge on the table, Xander's expression immediately turned a bit odd.
He looked at Kaguya, and she returned him a cute smile.
He wanted to ask, but in the end swallowed the words.
He silently sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and started dealing with the lunch on the table.
These things… all seem like kidney tonics, don't they?
