"I just felt like I shouldn't be late because of work." Cassius held Wanda's hand and looked into her eyes with deep affection.
"It's fine. It's normal to have things come up... I'm just glad you could make it." Wanda's gaze met Cassius's, and the doubts in her heart vanished without a trace. It was normal for someone as mysterious as Cassius to have a lot on his plate.
"Cheers. Don't worry about it. Here's to you finally being free from that damn public opinion!" Cassius raised his wine glass.
"Cheers!" Wanda smiled and picked up her glass. She hadn't been this happy in a long time.
After a few drinks...
"Um... Actually, besides dinner, there's something else I wanted to do tonight." Wanda's cheeks were flushed, her eyes a misty, faint crimson, and she stared at Cassius with a seductive gaze. There was so much she wanted to say.
"What is it?" Cassius put down his wine glass, a puzzled expression on his face, and turned to Wanda.
When their eyes met, his heart suddenly began to race at the sight of her incredibly alluring face. With a little wine in her system, Wanda's fair skin was a shade of pink, like her moniker, the Scarlet Witch, which gave her an indescribable charm.
In that moment, the air in the private room was filled with hormones, and their gazes were intertwined. Neither of them looked away, and everything around them seemed to fall silent.
"What... What do you want to say?" Cassius's Adam's apple bobbed, and he repeated the question. He met the witch's melancholic eyes. In the faint orange light, a thin veil seemed to cover her face, making him want to tear it away. Her body temperature seemed to have risen from the alcohol, and her perfume became even more intense. The scent of tuberose mixed with the aroma of wine enveloped him.
"I... I..." Wanda's red lips parted. She tried to speak several times, but the words wouldn't come out. She wanted to express her feelings, but at that moment, she felt a sense of fear. Even though everything had already happened between them, things were moving too fast.
"...It's nothing important." Wanda finally backed down. She was still afraid. As someone who had just felt love for the first time, she was just a little girl when it came to romance, and she didn't know how to speak her mind. The closer she got to him, the faster her heart beat.
"You can tell me anything." Cassius held Wanda's hand, his expression firm. "No matter what it is, I'll always be by your side." He could see that Wanda had something to say, but her insecurity was holding her back.
"No..." Wanda shook her head at the gentle and considerate Cassius. "Really, nothing."
Only she knew what she was afraid of. She didn't know what their relationship was. Even though things had happened, their relationship had never been confirmed. She didn't know if Cassius would leave her if she confessed her love. The thought alone filled her with fear.
The person she trusted most now was Cassius, and she couldn't imagine how much pain she would be in if he left her. But if she didn't say anything, they could continue to be like this. Even if... even if their relationship remained hidden. This was also why she never told the Avengers about Cassius. She didn't know how to tell them who he was.
"How about we talk about it back at my place?" Cassius looked at the captivating Wanda and felt the urge to give in. After being teased so many times today, he was alone with a fair-skinned, stunningly beautiful, and slightly tipsy woman. She was right in front of him, and she kept taking deep breaths...
With every breath, Cassius could feel her hot air on his skin. He couldn't help but glance at the deep canyon between her breasts. Wanda probably didn't know how great her body was. She was even wearing a red dress with a lace top. Looking at the edge of the red lace, he felt a surge of excitement. Any functional man would find it hard to resist such a temptation at this moment.
"No, don't go!" Wanda pouted and shook her head. Wine has a strong kick, and it was starting to hit her now. She didn't want Cassius to go home yet. She wanted to stay with him. Wanda was clearly drunk. Every word and action had a unique charm that came with being drunk.
"But..." Cassius took a deep breath, but the fragrance that filled his lungs only made him feel even more intoxicated.
"Can't you just stay and have a few more drinks with me?" Wanda wrapped her arms around Cassius's right arm, and a softness instantly pressed against him. She snuggled up next to him, and her voice became incredibly seductive.
Cassius suddenly realized that drunk Wanda was a completely different person. The last time she was drunk, it was also like this. She was melancholy but a little more obedient. This time, she was melancholy but a lot more wild.
As she swayed, the strap of her red dress slid down her shoulder. Her fair, snow-white shoulder had a perfect shape. Due to her large movements, Cassius could even see the snow-white peaks held by the red lava.
The perfect combination of snow and lava was the most beautiful sight in the world.
As the lava moved, the snow-white mountains trembled. It had to be said that Wanda's body was relatively slender, but it had an indescribable fullness. The sight alone made Cassius's breathing heavier and heavier. He could even feel a big change in his body.
"I'm dizzy." Wanda gently poked Cassius's cheek with her fingertip and then laid her head on the table. With her trench coat open, her thin top was supporting her pale breasts. She was lying on the table, looking a little playful.
"Wanda, sit up straight." Cassius looked at her seductive appearance and pulled her back, panting heavily.
"No, I like drinking like this." Wanda waved her hand, grabbed the wine bottle, and poured it into her mouth without hesitation.
Pfff!
Because she was lying down, the wine spewed out the moment it went in. The crimson wine slid down her neck and soaked her top.
"Damn it..." Cassius couldn't take it anymore. This was a challenge to his self-control. He wasn't some saint!
Legend says that the more powerful a witch is, the more beautiful she is, and the more alluring she becomes, attracting you from every angle.
Wanda Maximoff was one of these legendary witches. Sometimes, even her unintentional actions could lead a man to sin!
"Let's go home." Cassius put Wanda's arm over his shoulder and helped her up.
"No, I don't want to go home!" Wanda shook her head. She didn't want to go back to her room. She enjoyed being with Cassius. She felt free to be herself when she was with him.
"Then what do you want to do?" Cassius looked at the very drunk Wanda and shook his head helplessly.
"I..." Wanda stood up on her wobbly legs, her hands on Cassius's shoulders. "Say you lo..." But before she could finish, she lost her balance and fell onto Cassius's chest.
(·ｘ·)
Impact! Charging with the ball! Foul!
He couldn't take it anymore! Cassius raised his right hand in the air. This was the first time he had used the Phoenix Force so smoothly.
BANG!
The door to the private room slammed shut and locked.
"Tonight, I'm going to show you the power of the Ox, Monkey, and Rabbit Talismans!"
