After Lucy had gone to the bathroom to bathe, Rebecca and Rudy were alone in the living room.
"Welcome home." Rudy casually wore his shirt and asked Rebecca while closing the buttons.
Rebecca glanced around the house with her eyes to make sure no one was around. She peeked into her room and saw Joe was still sleeping on her bed.
Rebecca released a silent sigh and sat next to Rudy on the couch.
"You good? Need water or juice?"
"Water, please."
Rudy raised his hand, and the refrigerator's door opened. Then, a bottle came rushing into Rudy's hand, followed by the glass.
He snapped and closed the door before opening the cap of the bottle. He filled the glass with water and handed it to Rebecca with a smile on his face.
"Here you go."
"Thanks."
Rebecca chugged down the glass of water in a few sips and released a satisfied sigh.
Rudy moved the bottle close to the glass in Rebecca's hand and asked, "Want more?"
"Yes."
Rudy served the water as though he was serving a customer at a bar.
"Here you go, miss."
Rebecca shot a judging glare at Rudy from the corner of her eyes as she drank water.
Rudy leaned on the couch and looked up at the ceiling, although he was looking at his room through his vision ability.
'I was wondering where Angelica went… but she is sleeping on my bed. It's weird. I thought Lucy and Angelica would get along, but they rarely talked.
I understand why Lucy didn't interact with Lilim. It was their first meeting, after all. But she should have gotten along with Angelica.
To be honest…' Rudy closed his eyes and wondered, 'Should I tell Lucy about me? I have no reason to keep her in the dark, but I don't have a reason to tell her either. I still think it's best if fewer people know about the truth.
Just knowing everything can mess with their minds. Eleana told me that, and I believe her. After all, she was the first human to know about the truth, and she has been living with it more than anyone else.'
When he opened his eyes, he saw Rebecca staring at him with a 'You know what I am going to talk about, right?' look on her face.
"What is it?" Rudy asked. "Just so you know, even your stares turn me on."
"Is there anything that doesn't turn you on?"
"Everything turns me on. I am always on," Rudy stated with a proud look on his face.
"Just when I warned you not to get too close to Lucy, you decide to sit half naked with her."
"I am testing her."
"What do you mean?" Rebecca raised her brow.
"She is trying to seduce me. Everything she does somehow ends up relating to me. I wanted to push her to the edge and make her confess her true motives."
"That does sound like a plan, but why do I feel that you also have ulterior motives for doing that?"
"I might do," Rudy shrugged.
Rebecca took a moment to think and uttered, "Look, instead of beating around the bush and going in circles, I will ask you directly. Do you eventually plan to add Lucy to your harem?"
"What do you want to hear in response? Yes or no?"
"I want to hear the truth, and truth, only."
"We will see what happens. There are a few things I need to settle with Lucy. And…" Rudy recalled his suspicions about Lucy and nodded, "And a few answers."
"What a way to dodge the question."
"I learned that from you." Rudy grinned and pulled Rebecca close.
"Stop. We are not alone."
"Everyone is sleeping. No one will catch us."
"I am not taking any risks. Especially when Joe is at home," she whispered.
"Then isn't that a good opportunity? In fact, I suggest we go to your bed and make out in front of Joe."
"Why would you want to do that?"
"So he can see how you are cheating on him with your son. And then he will divorce you. Then you will be single and available to bang— not that anyone can stop me from doing that now."
"What do you mean by 'bang'? Stop using such vulgar language in front of your mother."
Rudy pulled Rebecca even close and got her on his lap.
"Seriously, this is bad. You know we always get caught when someone's in the house, right?"
Rudy raised his finger and closed the door of Rebecca's room.
"Happy now? Lucy is in the bath, and Joe is sleeping. If they open the door, even you would hear the sound."
"What about Jessica and Lilim?"
"What about them? I don't think we should worry about them seeing us."
Rebecca raised her brow and asked, "So did you three… did it last night…?"
"The answer is obviously no."
"I will trust you."
"As you should." Rudy moved his face close to Rebecca's face and kissed her on the lips.
A short kiss.
He looked into Rebecca's eyes to get approval from her to kiss her again. In response, Rebecca closed her eyes, and Rudy took that as a sign of approval.
Rudy kissed her again, this time for a little longer. With each kiss, the duration of the kiss increased, and they started having deep and long kisses.
Rebecca moved her head slowly as Rudy pressed his lips on her lips. Rudy had placed his hand on the back of Rebecca's head as a support, so she could freely kiss him without taking breaks.
Rebecca placed her hand on Rudy's chest and tapped her finger.
Rudy took that as a sign to stop and looked into her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Rebecca got up from Rudy's lap and stood in front of him with a flushed face. She squirmed a little and sat on his lap, facing face to face. She pressed her chest and body against him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"We have kissed so many times, and I should get used to the feeling, but I just can't. It feels so unreal and… beautiful that I don't want to stop."
"You don't have to stop."
Without wasting a second, Rebecca pulled Rudy and started kissing him passionately, filled with love and lust.
