[Current state: Surprised, Flustered, Excited, Anxious, Shy, Scared, Conflicted, Yearning]
[Intimacy level: +5 (90 intimacy)]
Observing Lillian’s status prompts, Kevin took note of her conflict and desire.
This proved that his recent actions had not repulsed Lillian, rather, they seemed to have stirred in her a genuine affection towards him. Knowing Lillian’s emotions, he could faintly surmise her thoughts too.
With this knowledge, Kevin felt more assured that his strategies would work.
“Kevin, I’m no longer young. How can you still call me beautiful? No more nonsense. Alright, I’ll go upstairs to check on Natalie first, and you should rest too; you had a long day.”
Lillian reached out her hand, and with a gentle push, she got herself out of Kevin's embrace. She then quickly scampered up the stairs, her cheeks flushed red.
From his vantage point, Kevin could see the plump peach of Lillian's buttocks sway temptingly. The tight skirt accentuated every movement, enhancing the temptation hidden beneath the skirt.
Lillian's coy demeanor indeed intrigued him. The impure thoughts Kevin harbored for Lillian grew ever stronger.
Kevin longed to see what expression his usually harsh and serious mother-in-law would wear when lying beneath him, indulging in the pleasures of sex with her son-in-law. He began to look forward to it, thinking it must be thrilling.
Upon reaching the third floor, Kevin heard the sound of water from the shower.
Sofia emerged from Natalie’s room, clutching a set of pajamas and cute undergarments for Natalie. Noticing Kevin’s curious gaze from the doorway, she, flushed with embarrassment, quickly urged Kevin, “Kevin, you’ve come up. Go back to your bedroom, please. My sister is bathing Natalie. You mustn’t peek!”
Kevin’s curiosity was stimulated after he heard that.
Although he had seen both sisters bare before, he had never witnessed them together in nudity. It seemed to him that it might be time to install a camera in the bathroom.
“Sofia, come here. I have something to ask you.”
Kevin sneakily glanced at the intimacy level above Sofia’s head.
Intimacy level 93, only 7 points shy of a full 100, where sexual relations could occur.
This puzzled Kevin. He distinctly remembered that after kissing Sofia unintentionally, their intimacy level had plummeted.
But why, upon encountering Sofia again, did Sofia’s intimacy towards him not only bounce back but was now even higher than before? Kevin, still lacking an understanding of women, was utterly baffled.
“Kevin, what are you doing? Mom and sister are in the shower.” Sofia nervously bit her lip, her gaze downward as her breathing quickened.
“What are you thinking about?”
Kevin pulled Sofia into the living room and, with a hushed voice, inquired curiously, “Sofia, why did you hide from your sister the fact that we went out together earlier?”
“You are more aware of it than I am, aren’t you? Kevin, you haven't forgotten what you did to me this afternoon in your study, have you?” Sofia chided with a playful roll of her eyes, a shy blush tinting her cheeks.
“Sofia, I’m sorry, I was too impulsive this afternoon. I don't know why I did that; I couldn’t control myself. You don’t blame me, do you?” Kevin became suddenly sheepish.
“The deed is done; how can I hold you accountable now?”
Sofia scolded half in jest, half in earnest, her expression a mix of coy and moving charm. “Also, Kevin, you took my first kiss.” Sofia pinched Kevin lightly, a hint of vexation in her touch.
At that moment, Scarlett’s voice came from the bathroom. “Sofia, what are you doing? Didn't I ask you to get some clothes? Why are you taking so long?”
“I'm coming.”
Sofia called back to the bathroom, then with a pouting mouth conveying a threatening tone to Kevin, she said, “Kevin, I won’t hold today’s incident against you, but from now on you must not overstep. Remember, you're my brother-in-law! We must maintain a proper distance.”
“And! Keep it a secret!” Having said that, Sofia suddenly leaned in and kissed Kevin on the cheek, then turned around shyly and quickly walked down the hallway.
Following the sound of the bathroom door closing, Kevin stood there, utterly flabbergasted. He touched the cheek Sofia had kissed.
Kevin now found Sofia even more perplexing than before. He should be fearful and push her to keep their secret.
Yet Sofia not only took it upon herself to hide the day's events but also demanded secrecy from him. What exactly was she thinking about?
She stressed the importance of maintaining a distance yet stole a kiss the very next moment.
Could this be a temptation or a warning?
However, Kevin, touching the cheek against which Sofia's lips had brushed, couldn't help but wear a smile and enjoy a sense of happiness and thrill.
