Tempting Fate

144 Chapter 144: The Memory

Reed was thrown back when he woke up. He turned around and saw Emy lying next to him while Devin was lying on the sofa. Reed turned to Emy, who was asleep. He immediately grabbed her hand and kissed it.

“You’re awake,” Devin said.

Reed looked at Devin as he looked at him and didn’t move into his place. He remained seated on the sofa. Reed had a peek around. He was already at their house, in their room. Reed also caressed his wound with one hand but couldn’t touch any mark on his shoulder. He frowned.

“Your wound healed before you passed out,” Devin said. “Don’t you remember?”

Reed remembered what had happened. The angel was there and healed his wound. He was stunned when he remembered the angel touching Emy’s belly.

“How is Emy? What happened when I passed out?”

“We brought you here. What else? Besides, what could happen to Emy while she’s with me?”

“Didn’t she feel anything in her belly? How is the baby?”

“She doesn’t complain about being sick or hungry. Emy seems to have had her fill of the fear of the two people earlier.”

.....

Reed turned to Emy. He watched the sleeping girl closely, and she seemed okay. He also looked at Emy’s belly.

“Are you okay?” Devin asked. “She fell asleep worrying too much. It’s annoying, but that’s the truth.”

“Tell me what happened after I passed out. Everything that happened.”

“Do you want detailed?” Devin said, laughing. Reed didn’t speak. “Nothing happened. You lost consciousness. I brought you home. Emy, she’s been hysterical worrying about you. She thought you were dead. It’s good that she calmed down and then fell asleep.”

Reed didn’t speak. He just took a deep breath. “If it’s okay, I want ice cream, so I’ll go down first.”

Devin stood up and walked to the door, then he came out. Reed took a deep breath. He carefully got up from the bed and entered the bathroom.

He looked in front of the mirror at his shoulder, which was almost cut off due to the poison. There is no wound there, nor is it scarred.

‘You did a great job.’

He gasped as he remembered what the angel had said. He didn’t know what he had done to make the angel say that. Is it because he saved two people or because he already has an heir and his salvation is near. Reed also wondered what did the angel do to Emy’s belly. Why did the angel touch her?

He entered the shower room and let the cold water drip on his body.

Devin ate ice cream when Reed returned after taking a shower and getting dressed. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room with his feet up while watching a basketball game. Reed frowned as he heard Devin’s laugh. He immediately approached him.

“There’s nothing funny about what you’re watching. Why are you laughing? Are you going crazy?” Reed asked.

Devin turned to Reed. “Don’t you laugh at these humans?”

Reed glanced at the tv. “Nothing funny.”

“You’re a really boring demon, Reed,” Devin said. “How did Emy like you? Aren’t humans funny fighting over the ball?”

“That’s their game, isn’t it? It’s called basketball.”

“I know it’s basketball. What I don’t understand is why humans fight for one ball? And why people are so happy when someone gets the ball into the basket. It’s so boring, but humans are enjoying it.”

Reed shook his head. “If what they were doing was boring, you wouldn’t be laughing like that,” Reed said, then walked away. “Besides, you can’t understand them because you’re not human. You’re an easy-go-lucky demon.”

Devin laughed at what Reed said. It’s been a few days since they got along. He didn’t know what evil wind Reed had sniffed, but it was okay with him that they weren’t looking forward to that day.

Reed saw Becky cleaning in the kitchen using her black smoke. He didn’t care about that. Becky wasn’t the kind of person not to use her talent.

“My king, do you want something?”

“I want coffee.”

“I’ll take care of it. What coffee do you want?”

“Black coffee. Just bring it to the living room.”

“Yes, my king.”

Reed returned to the living room and picked up the remote before sitting on the sofa. He changed the tv channel. Devin was surprised that he almost choked on the ice cream he was eating from laughing.

“Why did you change the channel?”

“I want to watch the news.”

“You know humans have a lot of issues. They always talk about something even if it doesn’t matter.”

“You’re not human, so you don’t care about what they’re reporting. You’ve been complaining a lot about humans lately.”

“Nothing good is happening. I feel like I want sex right now.” Devin took a nibble of ice cream when Reed turned to him. “What? Why do you think that way? Will you agree if Emy and I...”

“Shut up, Devin..” Reed said as the fire came out of his palm.

Devin chuckled. “I’m just going to see the two cousins who like sex.”

“I guess you’re their cousin because you also like sex.”

Instead of answering, Devin just laughed.

——-

The cubus cousins ??were surprised to see Devin suddenly appear at their house. He smiled and immediately approached Eve and kissed her on the lips. Dynhir shook his head and sat on the sofa.

“Damn, Devin, don’t tell me you have a lot of juice again,” Eve asked.

Devin just laughed and Eve let go. He sat next to Dynhir.

“I’m bored. Let’s find a thrill today.”

“Thrill? Isn’t it still a thrill to starve us ??because of your cousin?” said Dynhir.

Devin chuckled. “It’s taking a while to get rid of your anger, huh. Are you becoming human?”

“Don’t joke with that disgusting word,” Dynhir said.

“Oh, sensitive,” Devin said. “Want to go to the bar?”

“For what? To tempt us to have sex with humans again and to punish our clan?”

Devin chuckled. “You have a different kind of anger, Dyn.”

“Dyn?” the man asked with raised eyebrows. “Are you giving me a nickname now, huh?”

“You can have sex all you want,” Devin said.

“In our dreams?” Eve asked.

“The only thing in the agreement of the unbreakable vow is that you don’t hurt or kill people. As long as you don’t kill them, you can do everything.”

The cousins ??looked at each other. “I’ve done that. A woman took me to her condo, and we had a threesome with the guy next door.” Devin explained.

“Threesome?” the two asked with furrowed brows.

“You are called sex demons and don’t know threesome?” Devin said. “It’s a triad.”

“Oh, okay. So what happened? You didn’t kill them?”

Devin shook his head. “They are alive, but I enjoyed eating the man’s emotions, so he went a little insane, don’t try to imitate that. Your clan might be doomed.”

“Is that possible to have a meal?” asked Dynhir. “We’ve been dieting for a few months. We’ve already lost weight.”

“I’ll take care of it. To be safe, we’ll only have sex in one place, at the same time, so I can see what you’re doing and stop you when it’s too much.”

“I like that,” Eve said.

“Me too. Shall we leave?”

Devin smiled.

———-

What happened in the Kaybiang tunnel was reported on TV. Even Reed was mentioned in the news. He even laughed when the reporter said he was an “unknown superhero.” He also saw the two people he saved from the demon.

“Unknown hero?” Reed smirked. “I’m not the human hero. Maybe I’m your worst nightmare, humans.”

Reed was startled by someone caressing his shoulder down to his chest. Warm skin hugged him from behind. He looked up, and Emy was smiling at him.

“How are you feeling?” Emy asked.

“I’m fine.” Reed held Emy’s hand, and Emy turned around on the sofa. Then Reed pulled her to sit on his lap.

“I’m heavy.”

“No, you’re not.”

“Well, there are two of us.”

Reed chuckled and kissed Emy on her lips. Emy immediately dangled her arm around Reed’s neck. Reed was surprised because Emy seemed instantly aroused by his simple kiss. He could hear Emy’s moaning, which had already aroused him. He immediately moved his lips away from the girl and stared at her. Emy frowned.

“What?”

.....

“Nothing. It’s just that...”

“The book says the arousal of a pregnant woman is stronger.”

“Really?” Reed said in disbelief. “But isn’t it forbidden?”

“Why? You can call it sex because of penetration? There’s something called foreplay. That’s fine for both of us.”

Reed smiled. “I’d like to think now that you remember me. That’s why you’re so blunt to me.”

“I’m not blunt. This is how we really are, right?” Amy said. “Do you want to try it blindfolded again?” Emy bit her lower lip.

Reed didn’t say anything. He just stared at Emy. It had been a long time since his intimate night with Emy that he blindfolded her, and she almost drove him crazy from the extreme pleasure of that night.

“But I want to try again by the sea and on a horse. Damn, I’m just thinking about that. It excites me.” Emy said.

Reed frowned, so he asked Emy to confirm his suspicion.

“We didn’t have sex in the shore, did we?” Reed asked. Of course, he knows that. They went on a family outing with Avery and Jasmin then, and Emy didn’t realize that someone was watching them, Maria.

“We had sex. That’s one of my favorites.” Emy said. “Then you even talked to someone, you said. Are you keeping a close watch on us?” Emy even imitated Reed’s voice.

Reed laughed. He remembered that moment. “Maria saw us that night. She’s watching us.”

Emy’s face turned red, and Reed could see it. “You mean Maria was watching a live show at that time?”

“You know her?” Reed asked.

“Yeah, she was our first housemate, right? The only sad thing is she betrayed you. Maria was good to my family and me.”

“You remember everything?” Reed asked
