100x Rebate Sharing System: Retired Incubus Wants to Marry & Have Kids Chapter 363 - 362- He is Thick

Viktor was watching her with those dark eyes, and his expression had shifted—the earnest uncertainty completely gone now, replaced with sothing that had always been underneath it, sothing that watched her the way a hand observed a door it had already decided to open.

He chuckled again, quiet, and it rolled through the kitchen.

"Not here," he said.

She blinked. "What?"

"I want to check them properly." He said ’them’ with no further specification, and she felt her face sohow get hotter.

He pushed off the counter he’d been leaning against and crossed to her in three unhurried steps.

His hand found her wrist—not rough, not tentative, just ’certain,’ wrapping around her wrist with the grip of soone who had decided where she was going before she had—and he turned her toward the doorway.

"My bedroom," Viktor said.

Her heart kicked hard against her ribs. "That is—you don’t need to—"

"Thorough examination requires a proper environnt," Viktor said, his voice entirely matter-of-fact.

"Gwen is—" She looked toward the sitting room, her pulse spiking. Through the corridor, she could see the slice of warm light, the sound of Bella’s animated voice still filling the space. "She’s right there. She’ll notice I’m gone—"

"In about five minutes," Viktor said, and the easy certainty with which he said it told her he’d already calculated this, "Bella is going to start explaining arrow-shafting technique to your daughter in obsessive detail. She’ll be there for at least another half hour."

Vivian stared at him. "You can’t ’know’ that—"

"Bella talks about weapons the way other people talk about religion. It’s a dical condition." He was already moving, already drawing her with him toward the corridor. "She won’t notice."

"And if soone ’else’ cos to the kitchen—"

"Helena doesn’t get up without a reason. Elara won’t wander without soone leading her. Kaida has positioned herself by the window because she’s watching the periter, not the hallway." A brief pause. "Mira would know anyway."

Vivian’s feet found the base of the staircase.

She stopped.

"Mira," she said.

Viktor glanced at her. "What about her?"

"You said—" Vivian searched for solid ground and found it harder to locate than it should have been. "You said this was ’about’ her. So she—does she know you’re—"

"No one would know except us," Viktor said. The sa words as before, the sa tone, with that sa quality of finality that closed doors without force.

He tugged her wrist.

She followed.

She told herself she was following under protest. That she was still deciding. That the staircase beneath her feet was just wood and she could stop on any step she chose.

She climbed all of them.

The bedroom.

She had not been in it before, and its existence as a ’fact’—the physical proof of the life Viktor lived in this house—hit her before she’d fully crossed the threshold.

It was enormous. The room breathed with the particular warmth of a space that was regularly inhabited by more than two people, a quality that had nothing to do with size and everything to do with the small evidences scattered through it. A vanity with four brushes arranged by soone who cared about order, a fifth one slightly askew. A row of dresses hung on the wall’s hooks—different sizes, different silhouettes, the smallest one Kaida’s, the largest Helena’s in pale cotton that strained even on the hanger. A scattering of hair pins on the writing desk, so dark, so the silver-blonde of Bella’s cat form.

And the bed.

It sat in the center of the room like a geographical feature. King-sized was an understatent—it had been constructed to accommodate more than one occupant comfortably, more than two, its surface wide enough that Vivian’s eyes simply stopped trying to asure it. The headboard was dark carved wood, heavy, serious. The linens were rumpled and layered with the unselfconscious intimacy of a bed that never fully went cold.

Vivian stood in the doorway and looked at it and felt the full shape of her situation settle over her like weather.

Then Viktor’s hand moved to the flat of her back.

And pushed.

Not hard—just the application of forward intention, his palm warm through the fabric of her dress, pressing her from the threshold into the room, past the boundary of it, and the door swung closed behind them with a soft, decisive click.

"I—" she started.

His hand on her back didn’t stop moving. It guided her across the room, and she went—her feet moved because her feet moved, her body operating on a logic that had diverged from whatever her brain was trying to say—until the back of her knees found the edge of the mattress.

She had no warning before his hand pressed gently, precisely, against her shoulder.

She sat.

The bed received her with a softness that should not have been notable given the circumstances but sohow was—the give of it under her weight, her hips sinking into the layers, and the physics of sitting on sothing that soft with her proportions ant that everything ’settled,’ redistributed, the heavy warmth of her hips and thighs pressing into the mattress, the substantial mass of her breasts pulling forward under their own montum.

Then Viktor removed his hand.

And she bounced.

Once—twice—the mattress oscillating gently beneath her, and the motion was enough that her breasts rocked with it, swaying forward and then back, the weight of them carrying through the movent, the cotton of her dress pulling tight for a mont before settling. A startled sound escaped her—not quite a cry, not quite a question, sothing caught between both.

"What are you—" She looked up at him, flushed and inelegant and still slightly bouncing. "What are you ’doing’—"

Viktor was not listening to this question.

He was looking at her, standing at the foot of the bed with those dark eyes moving across her the way they’d moved across her in the kitchen—that particular cataloguing attention, unhurried—and then his hands moved to his belt.

Vivian’s voice stopped.

She watched his fingers work the buckle. Slow. thodical. The leather pulled through the clasp with a faint sound that seed very loud in the quiet bedroom, and Viktor’s eyes stayed on her the entire ti—not performing, not teasing, just ’watching her watch him,’ collecting whatever her expression gave him and filing it away.

"What are you—" Her voice found itself again, thinner than before. "Why are you doing ’that’—"

"I’m preparing," Viktor said simply.

"Preparing for ’what’—"

The buckle ca free. His hands moved to the fastening of his trousers, fingers finding it with the ease of long habit.

"The equipnt," Viktor said.

Vivian stared at him.

"The—the equipnt."

"That will conduct the examination." He glanced down, working the fastening with unhurried precision. "You want an accurate assessnt, don’t you? Whether things are as tight as you say?"

"I didn’t—that’s not what I—"

The fabric parted.

His hands found the waistband of what lay beneath—dark fabric, taut with sothing it was no longer successfully containing—and he drew it down.

And Vivian stopped speaking entirely.

Because the reality of what erged from his clothing was not a thing she had constructed an expectation for, and the absence of expectation left her completely without response. She had given birth. She had been married. She was not, by any reasonable asure, an innocent.

None of that was adequate preparation.

He was ’thick.’
