Growl~
"Ahh… I'm hungry." Veronica looked down at her stomach. Is it just or my stomach beca a glutton in a day?' she wondered inwardly.
She closed the book after bookmarking it. Then, she stood up and went inside the house. She rembered Arthur ntioning snacks. 'I want to taste those snacks.'
She went to the kitchen and looked for a jar where he could put so snacks. In the end, she found a bowl that was covered with a lid. When she opened it, she found breads wrapped around at and vegetables.
"Hmm? What's that?" Veronica took it and had a large bite. After chewing for a while, her face beca radiant. "It's so yummy!"
"I'm glad you like it. This is called a sandwich," Arthur replied from the dining room.
Veronica was startled by his sudden arrival. The food caught on her throat and she began to cough.
"Easy there," Arthur gave her a glass of water and patted her back.
When Veronica cald down, she glared at him. "Why can't you make sound when you walk?" she accused him.
Arthur apologized, "My bad. I didn't think you would choke." He took out a golden pocket watch and checked the ti. "It's ti already. We will leave after you are done eating."
Veronica felt her stomach tightening. "Now I'm nervous," she confessed.
"Even if you are nervous, you have to go back or else you won't find the reason for your senior's death." Arthur's smile was rueful.
Veronica noticed his unusual expression and asked, "Did sothing happen? You don't look well."
Arthur controlled his expression and quietly answered, "Nothing happened. I'm all right. It's just I'm going to miss a non-paid assistant." He skillfully diverted her attention.
"Who is your non-paid assistant?" Veronica grumbled with a flushed face.
"You were so docile even last night. But today, you have completely changed. Did you forget that I'm your savior?" Arthur teased her.
"If I knew you that you would keep reminding about you being my savior, I wouldn't have wanted to be saved by you. How can you be so shaless?" she complained.
Arthur seed hurt by her accusation. "How can you be so ungrateful? I saved you and you call 'shaless'. Shouldn't you call your 'hero'?"
Veronica snickered. "Pfft! Don't make laugh. You are anything but a hero, you playboy."
"Should I teach you how a playboy acts?" Arthur stepped closer.
Veronica already had a lesson today. She didn't need another one. She quickly finished the remaining sandwich and wiped her mouth. "I'm done. Let's get out."
"Looks like my teaching paid off." Feeling satisfied, Arthur followed her in tow.
When they reached a familiar alley, Veronica paused. "All right, this is where we are parting." She took off the cape and gave it back to him.
Arthur asked her, "Are you sure you are okay wearing this nightgown of yours? You might face danger. I can follow you to the entrance."
"Don't worry about . I won't face any danger," Veronica assured him. If she took another turn, she could find the backdoor of the kitchen. That's why she felt safe.
"As long as you are safe. If you go out again, co and et ." Arthur was slightly reluctant to part with her. He hesitantly added, "Another thing, if you need help with investigation, co to anyti."
"I will do that." Veronica suddenly smiled. "I couldn't have enjoyed today without you. Thank you for everything you have done for ."
"Wait, rather than hearing you say 'thank you', I would like to have this." Arthur instantly leaned forward and stole her lips.
"!!!" Veronica was stunned. She wasn't prepared for it. She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him hard.
However, her strength was nothing compared to his. Arthur didn't budge even a tiny bit, Rather, he pulled her by her waist and deepened the kiss. He sucked her lower lip and then licked with his tongue.
Veronica gasped in surprise. Her lips slightly parted and that's when she sensed sothing soft entering her mouth. Her body trembled.
Arthur's tongue explored inside her mouth and ravaged her saliva. She had a sweet scent that made his intoxicated.
The foreign object moved around and made her heart shudder. Her instinctively moved her tongue but he soon found her. He wrapped her tongue with his and sucked it.
"Ung!" she softly moaned. Before she knew it, her tongue was poking him and fighting against him. Without her knowing, she made the kiss more intense.
'Is she trying to kiss or fight against ?' Arthur let out a groan. He opened his eyes and his golden pupils gazed at her passionately. He saw her thick, long eye lashes. They were trembling. Her cheeks were tinted with several shades of red.
He sensed her soft breasts were pressed against his firm chest. He could see her cleavage. It reminded him of the heated night when she was drunk.
He narrowed his eyes. His golden orbs flickered with desire. All of a sudden, he pressed her against the wall and held her firmly. Afterward, he changed the angle and nibbled her upper lips.
He felt her arms around his back, clutching his clothes. Noticing that she was refusing his kiss, the corners of his lips raised slightly. Whenever he heard her soft moans, he deepened the kiss. He wanted to devour her lips.
"The world is dying; evil power is growing…"
Soone sang loudly in the dark. In the quiet back alley, the sound was too loud. It was the voice of a drunk man.
It made both of them alard. Arthur was harshly breathing. He glanced at Veronica whom he pinned down. He saw her disheveled state and pulled away from her. Without balance, Veronica began to fall.
Arthur quickly caught her and embraced her slender body. Veronica was panting hard. She didn't have any strength left in her legs. Her head was fuzzy. Her head had yet to start working.
