"Vincent."
Vittoria entered Vincent's half-open room. There, she saw Vincent lying down with half of his stomach exposed.
She quietly stepped inside and peeked at the slightly toned shape of Vincent's stomach. She was curious about how it would feel if she touched it.
Vincent's skin… I bet it feels warm… and firm… gulp.
Vincent then lifted his head after calming his heart and lungs. He then noticed Vittoria tiptoeing toward him.
"What is it, Vittoria?" He was slightly surprised since he hadn't heard anyone enter his room. It seemed he had dozed off for a few seconds.
"E-eh, don't get the wrong idea! It's not like I was trying to look at your stomach or worry about your injury or anything! But it seems your stomach is fine, thank goodness."
Vittoria smiled, seeing that Vincent was okay. She had thought Vincent had suffered a severe bruise on his stomach, but she never expected Vincent to be so strong!
He sat up, gazing at Vittoria, who stood two steps away from him. Vincent touched his stomach, which had just been licked and sucked by Valian.
Sister Valian, she's an unique person. It's my first time meeting a human who likes sucking blood like a vampire.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Sis Valian just came and healed the swollen bruise on my stomach."
"Swollen?" Vittoria was slightly surprised to hear that, her expression turning worried.
Vincent shook his head and stood up with a smile.
"I'm really fine. It doesn't even hurt anymore. Here, you can touch it to make it sure."
Vincent took Vittoria's right hand and placed her slender fingers on his stomach under his shirt. He did all of this without even realizing it.
Meanwhile, the girl blushed deeply, feeling the gentle warmth on her fingertips.
"Vi-Vincent… y-yeah. I-it seems fine, haha…"
Warm, soft, yet firm. Vincent's stomach muscles… the muscles of a boy my age…
Without realizing it, Vittoria wanted to touch Vincent's stomach longer and pressed her palm to feel more of the young man's skin.
They stayed like that for several seconds. Until Vincent snapped back to reality and realized what he had just done!
"Whoa!"
Vincent took three steps back, his legs hitting the edge of the bed, and then his head bumped against the wooden bedpost.
Thud!
"Eh? Um… are you okay, Vincent?"
Vittoria asked with a worried face. That must have been painful and embarrassing.
"Ow, yeah, I'm fine." He tried to stand while rubbing the back of his head where he had hit it.
"Let's prepare lunch for today. It's almost noon." Vincent walked toward the door. Vittoria nodded and followed behind him.
In the kitchen, Vivian and Violet were already there, wearing aprons and food gloves. They seemed to be making something.
Vincent and Vittoria approached and smelled the fragrant scent of wet flour.
"What are you making?" Vincent asked, watching Vivian busily kneading flour and eggs.
Meanwhile, Violet was shaping the dough into cute forms like cat faces, dogs, moons, rabbits, etc.
"Ehehe, we're making cookies. Since Vittoria bought some nuts earlier, we wanted to make cookies with various nuts," Vivian answered. In a somewhat seductive way, perhaps? She kneaded the flour and eggs as if she were squeezing something. She seemed skilled at it.
Vincent nodded. Then he looked at his stepmother with an astonished expression.
"Ara~ what is it, Vincent? Why are you looking at me like that?" Violet, who was shaping the dough, smiled softly at Vincent.
"Well, I didn't expect stepmother to be able to bake."
Vivian then playfully touched both of Vincent's cheeks with her hands, which were covered in dough.
"Oh, little Vincent, how rude of you… Mom is the pastry queen in this city, you know!"
"Eh?"
Vincent grew even more confused; he could hardly believe what his first stepsister said.
"Really?"
"Yes, Mom once won first prize in a baking competition in this city," Vittoria answered while pointing to a photo displayed on the table near the lounge, or what could be called the TV room.
Vincent hadn't paid much attention to it, but there was a gold medal with a cake-tier emblem. There was also a frame containing a photo of his stepmother, his father, and his stepsisters lifting a giant cake together.
Vincent's mouth hung open. "But when she holds a kettle and stove, everything turns chaotic? How…" Vincent looked as if he had just discovered that Santa Claus really exists in this world.
Meanwhile, Violet chuckled softly at her son's adorable reaction.
Vivian wore a proud smile, while Vittoria patted Vincent's shoulder.
"Mom really doesn't have a talent for cooking homemade meals. Because all her talent lies in baking and making babies." While shaking her head, Vittoria had to admit her mother's inexplicable talent.
Vincent was still gaping in disbelief when Vivian playfully shoved some dough into his mouth.
"Here, eat this!"
"Mhm! Hmm, this is delicious." Vincent tasted the cookie dough they were making and couldn't say anything other than "delicious." If the dough was already this tasty, how would it be once it was fully baked?
Vivian puffed out her chest while patting it three times. "Hehehe, Vincent will become addicted to eating our cookies once they're done. And after that, muehehehe…" Then her face turned lewd, as if she were planning something wicked for Vincent.
Vincent nodded with a small smile. "I can't wait for it."
"Ara~ Mom is happy Vincent likes it. In that case, Mom will make a whole lot of cookies special for Vincent." Without reason, Violet winked.
Vincent grew slightly suspicious that Vivian and Violet were conspiring to plan something, but setting that aside, he needed to start cooking for lunch soon.
Vittoria was already prepared with her apron; she brought over the vegetables to be cooked.
"Brother Vincent, let's go." Vittoria handed the vegetables to Vincent.
"Let's go."
The two immediately stood in front of the stove and cooking utensils. Meanwhile, behind their backs, at the kitchen table for baking and the oven, Vivian and Violet giggled softly for no reason while making cookies.
Vincent became the kitchen commander, and Vittoria was in charge of cutting and preparing the ingredients to be cooked.
She was quite skilled at cutting vegetables, onions, and meat. They intended to make curry for lunch.
Vincent helped her after preparing a pot of boiling water.
The two worked quite synergistically while cooking. It even made Vivian and Violet whisper as they watched the compatibility of Vincent and Vittoria, who were focused on cooking.
"Vittoria, please cut these vegetables into cubes."
"Okay."
"Vittoria, please wash and remove the insides of these bell peppers."
"Okay."
"Vittoria, please put the potatoes and meat into the pot. I'll crush the ginger first."
"Okay."
"Don't they look like a young married couple? Ara~ Mom is getting jealous watching them."
"That's right, we can't lose to them. Let's make the most delicious love cookies, Mom!"
"Let's go~"
It seemed the kitchen had become the battlefield for MasterChef this afternoon.
Both groups finished around the same time—Vivian and Violet's group put the cookie dough into the oven, and Vincent and Vittoria's group put the meat into the large pot.
While waiting, they relaxed for a while in the TV room. They sat together to unwind after the earlier activities.
Turning on the TV, Vincent held the remote.
There was a soft, curved sofa facing the large 75-inch TV, complete with speakers.
As soon as Vincent turned on the TV—tap!
"AHngh!"
An adult scene immediately appeared with loud moaning sounds, making Vincent quickly turn off the TV again.
He then placed the remote on the glass table in front of the sofa. He turned his head to the sound of giggles.
"Hihihihi, I forgot to change the CD that was still in the TV from last night." While sticking out her tongue and putting on an innocent face, Vivian scratched the back of her head, which wasn't itchy.
"Ara~ so the moaning last night was from the TV? Mom thought it was the neighbors being intimate."
"Sis Vivi… Why were you watching an adult film on the TV?.." Vittoria covered her eyes in shock when Vincent turned on the TV. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, even though the culprit didn't seem to feel that way at all.
Vincent stared at Vivian with the look of a Buddha about to rage. Vivian then smirked at him.
"Well, last night I was keeping watch, waiting for Vincent to come downstairs. While waiting, I watched an adult film I had bought. But around halfway through, I got sleepy and went to my room to sleep. Ehe."
"Why were you waiting for me to come down? Wait, maybe I shouldn't ask—"
"Of course, to make you watch with me, then we'd do xxx and xxxxxxx, then xxx until morning, muehehehe~"
"I knew it… I regret asking…"
Vincent walked to where the CD was inserted. He took it out and threw it straight at Vivian's face.
This time, Vivian caught it. She had gained a lot of experience this morning after getting multiple bumps on her head from her younger siblings.
"Ara~ was the movie exciting, Vivian?" Violet asked, looking at the cover of the adult CD, which seemed interesting.
Vivian nodded enthusiastically. "It's pretty exciting, Mom. This movie is about a stepbrother deepening his relationship with his new family after their shared father recently passed away."
"Somehow, I feel like I've heard a story like that before," Vittoria commented upon hearing the movie's plot.
"He does it with all his stepsisters, including his stepmother, too," Vivian continued while giving a lewd smile toward Vincent, who had just sat back down on the sofa next to Vittoria.
Vincent shivered slightly upon hearing that.
"Ara~ Mom is interested in watching it now."
"Then, wanna watch it together later, Mom? The first scene features the stepbrother deepening his relationship with his mother. They have sex at night after the stepmother asks her stepson to massage her shoulders, muehhehehe~"
"Stop corrupting Mom's innocence, Sis Vivi," Vittoria said. She was actually blushing upon hearing the movie's content and wanted to watch it too.
I'll ask for it later tonight after Vincent falls asleep.
"Ara~ Mom can't wait to watch it," Violet said enthusiastically. Vivian and Violet were already like partners in crime. They shared similar kinds of thoughts.
After making sure there were no other adult CDs still inserted, Vincent turned on the TV. This time, another adult scene appeared.
Vincent quickly pressed the power button off remote before the moaning amplified by the speakers echo through the TV room.
"Hehehe, I forgot—I was watching a porn on Wetflix earlier."
"Sis Vivian!"
Whack!
The remote flew straight into Vivian's face, who didn't have time to dodge.
***
Ding!
Blub blub blub!
The sound of the oven and the boiling water in the pot signaled that the food was ready.
Both groups of home chefs immediately served their dishes onto plates and large bowls, then placed them on the round teakwood table.
"Mom, this one is specially for Vincent after sprinkling the secret ingredient. Make sure he doesn't notice, okay? After he eats this, we can take him to your room and then xxx xxx xxx hehehe," Vivian whispered to her mother while showing the special plate of cookies in her hand.
Violet nodded. "Ara, Vivian, you're so naughty. We can't do that. We'll only give it to him with full love if little Vincent wants it."
The two then winked as a sign of agreement while wearing sly smiles.
Elsewhere, Vincent and Vittoria had just finished setting up lunch on the table. Plates and bowls full of rice were ready since today's lunch menu was super delicious aromatic curry! Cooked by the duo of expert chefs!
"I'll call the others," Vincent offered while hanging his apron on the hook near the kitchen.
Vittoria nodded while arranging the spoons, forks, and a glass pitcher of water along with the glasses.
After that, she looked at the cookies. They were served on a white plate and another on a black plate.
"Mom will go change clothes first."
"Ah, me too."
Violet and Vivian then disappeared from the dining room.
After making sure the two were gone, Vittoria immediately took action!
"I heard their weird whispers; it seems they're planning something for Vincent using these cookies. Hmm, it seems the black plate is specially for Vincent since there are fewer cookies. I'll swap the contents with the white plate."
Vittoria swapped the cookies on the black plate with those on the white plate. After making sure the number matched like it was, she sat at the table as if nothing had happened after storing the apron she had been wearing.
"What are Mom and Sis Vivi planning? Are they planning to do… that?" Vittoria's cheeks flushed red as she imagined forbidden fantasies, recalling the story of the adult CD movie Vivian had talked about.
She began to doubt whether to help Vincent or help her mother and sister.
What if my guess is right? Can I join them?
Imagining Vittoria joining her mother and sister, she shook her head firmly.
It's better to do it with just two people rather than a group!
She then smiled confidently. She had made up her mind to get what she wanted with her own hands.
After a few minutes of waiting, all family members finally arrived in the dining room.
After saying, "Thank you for the meal," together, hungry hands immediately reached for the steaming hot curry.
After finishing the main course, several fruits were already displayed in the center of the table, along with the sweet, delicious cookies made by their mother.
Violet and Vivian, sitting near Vincent, immediately executed their plan after sending signals through their eyes.
"Here, Vincent, this is specially for you. Finish it until there's nothing left, okay~" Violet offered the black plate with cookies, which had fewer cookies than the white plate.
Vincent happily accepted it and ate it with a smile.
"This is really delicious. If stepmother opened a pastry shop in the city, I'm sure she would be number one."
Violet and Vivian smiled broadly, seeing their target happy with their bait.
Meanwhile, the five girls ate cookies from the white plate. Vittoria only took cookies that she knew weren't from the black plate.
Everyone smiled broadly, grateful for the delicious lunch.
Before two hours later, every girls started feeling 'heat' because of those cookies.
