Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514 Seemed to Have Enjoyed Yourself 

Alaric’s behavior, including that last sentence of his, made even Mary and Casey feel a little. awkward, let alone Victoria. 

They never thought he would be this open with his flirting, especially in front of them. 

However, Mary soon picked up on something. 

Alaric had gone over to Victoria to finish that piece of cake for her. Mary had seen the way Victoria’s bites grew progressively smaller. She figured that Victoria couldn’t eat the rest of the cake, which was why Alaric had done that. 

Mary cleared her throat and suggested to Casey, “Mom, since the young ones are busy being all lovey–dovey with each other, let’s not disturb them. Why don’t we sit outside for a while?” 

Casey didn’t notice anything. She simply thought that her grandson and his wife had a splendid relationship and readily agreed to her daughter’s suggestion. The two of them left the couple and brought the children with them too. 

Nicole didn’t want to leave, but Casey moved in to carry her. Seeing this, Nicole agreed to leave with them as she didn’t want Casey to overexert herself. 

Once they were gone, all that was left were two people sitting extremely close on the couch, as well as a table full of snacks. 

All was quiet, and Victoria could feel her cheeks turning normal again. 

She exhaled in relief and tried to pull her hand away from Alaric. 

However, he tightened his grip. 

Victoria glared at him. She could tell he didn’t plan on letting go. 

Alaric cocked his eyebrows. “Feeling shy?” 

Victoria’s cheeks turned scarlet again. 

“D–Did you used to… act like this in front of the family too?” 

She lost her memories and didn’t know how they used to act with each other. 

However, it was clear that Alaric’s earlier stunt was not something she expected. 

She knew that when two people were in love, they would naturally engage in intimate behavior, just like the way they nearly kissed in the room last time. She didn’t feel averse to it then. In fact, she wouldn’t mind if they did kiss. 

But… just now, he did it in front of his mother and grandmother, and even the two children. 

He looked perfectly natural doing it too, as if it happened many times before. 

Therefore, Victoria began to wonder if the two of them had behaved this way in front of the family elders in the past. Why do I feel so awkward? Am I really the type of person who would do that? 

14717 Mon, 1/ 

At first, Alaric only wanted to help her finish off the cake. He didn’t think she would be clueless as to what his real motives were and even go so far as to assume they used to act this way in public. 

Amused, he decided to tease her. 

“What do you mean?” 

As he asked, he brought her hand up and pressed it gently against his lips. 

“You mean doing things like this?” 

“Or…” 

His voice trailed off as he bit down on her finger. 

Victoria could feel the warm wetness on her finger. It sent bolts of electricity through her body. She tried to yank her hand away but he kept a firm grip on it as he looked up and stared at her seductively. 

“You mean this, huh? Not used to it?” he mused with a smirk. 

Upon noticing that she kept trying to pull her hand away, Alaric held it even tighter. While he was injured, he was still a lot stronger than Victoria. 

He brought her hand back up to his lips and pressed them together. When he spoke, his heated breath washed over her hand and she turned crimson, which only amused him even further. 

“Don’t be shy. We did far more intimate things in the past.” 

Victoria was speechless. 

She stared at him suspiciously. “Really? Why do I get the feeling that I’m not that kind of person?” 

Just as she was talking, Alaric pulled her onto his lap before clutching her chin. His warm breath washed over her once more as his lips crashed into hers. 

“Mmph.” 

Victoria thought he would simply tease her a little or toy with her hand a bit more. She didn’t think he would actually kiss her. 

She felt as if her head exploded as she subconsciously grabbed his shirt. 

As Alaric kissed her, he felt the emotions that he had been reining in as they made their way over here being sét loose once more. 

It wasn’t just during this journey. The emotions which had been locked away during this time… over the last few years… 

Alaric held Victoria even closer. He squeezed her so tightly that it felt as if he wanted to become one with her. 

At first, he simply wanted to tease her a little, but the moment he touched her, he felt as if her body. was a magnet that was drawing him near. He couldn’t bear to let go. He couldn’t bear to retreat. He wanted to invade her personal space and take everything he desired. 

Victoria didn’t expect this from him. As he deepened the kiss, she became more and more agitated. She had only gripped his shirt at the start, but soon, she couldn’t stop herself from shoving him. 

It took a huge amount of strength for her to finally push him away. “D–Don’t do this,” she gasped. “Someone will see us.” 

This wasn’t their house. They weren’t in their room. 

Alaric was a little dazed. His gaze was burning with desire. 

His breathing was even more ragged than hers. “No one’s going to come in. They took the children with them to give us some privacy.” 

At that, even Victoria’s ears and neck turned red. 

“T–That’s even more reason why we can’t.”
