Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Alcohol and Hot Spring

Aria took a delicate sip first. Her eyes widened instantly, surprise dancing in them as she pulled back. "Wait, this is alcohol?!" She blinked, as though she hadn’t fully believed it until the taste hit. Her lips curved into a bright, childish grin. "It’s really nice! I thought it would be bitter or burn, but this one’s... kind of like juice!"

Kaiden chuckled, nodding knowingly. "That’s because you got the sweet one."

Aria beamed, satisfied with the reasoning of her beloved. With a content hum, she nestled closer against his shoulder, her smile turning soft as she tilted her head to rest just beneath his jawline. From there, she watched Nyx and Luna’s bickering with a motherly amusement, as though she were watching children fight over candy rather than acting like women her own age.

On Kaiden’s other side, Bastet raised her glass with a feline caution. Instead of tipping it back for a gulp, she brought it to her lips and extended her tongue in the most literal way possible, lapping at the golden fizz like a housecat drinking milk. The tiny, precise movements of her tongue, the faint twitch of her ears, and her narrowed golden eyes focused in suspicion made the entire motion utterly, irresistibly adorable.

Kaiden couldn’t help it; a loving laugh escaped him as he watched her go at it with a stubborn kind of dignity.

Bastet glanced at him with side eyes, and instantly, her lips curled upward to show she’d caught his amusement, but she didn’t stop. She just kept sipping in her peculiar way, as though that were the most natural method of drinking suspicious things in the world.

Finally, Kaiden picked up two glasses, one of each, and tried them for himself. He took a measured sip of the first, humming in approval. "Mmh. Smooth. Sweet." Then the second, and his face crinkled into a lesser version of the sour grimace Luna had worn, earning himself an instant round of laughter from all four girls at once. Their surprise was clear to see, having expected him to take it without struggle. But they forgot to consider that...

"What? Why do you look at me as if I were a hopeless alcoholic? I barely ever drank in my life."

Indeed, Kaiden was only 22 years old, and back in his college days, he wasn’t exactly the king of partying.

He grinned widely as he set the glasses back down and dismissively shrugged his shoulders. "I guess I’m not refined either."

It was a simple but tender, warm moment, one that contrasted greatly against the chaos of the chat.

- JusticeForAwakened: When are you going to stop hiding and retake the awakened test, you coward? We deserve to see proof of foul play!

- TechMage42: How did you delete videos from hard drives?! What kind of invasive magic do you wield in secret?!

- ConspiracyCrusader: Stop pretending, I know you’re an alien spy preparing to invade with your vast armies!

As the dislikes mounted and the keyboard warriors continued frothing at the mouth, Kaiden slowly rose to his feet with a lazy stretch, setting his glasses aside. He took a look at the chat for a moment, but despite what he saw, his grin was easy.

"Anyway... we rented this whole place. Wouldn’t it be a waste to only sit around drinking?"

The girls perked up instantly. Four pairs of eyes lit with expectation, their nods coming in unison.

"Hot spring time it is then," Kaiden added with a chuckle, and that was all it took.

In a sweep of rustling fabric, robes were slipped off, fluttering down onto the couches. But this time, what they revealed wasn’t the daring display of flawless skin and suggestive cut one might’ve expected. Instead, each of them stood in modest bathing clothes. Still undeniably flattering, still making their beauty impossible to hide, but nothing that screamed "Look at me. Aren’t I hot as hell?"

Kaiden had made a decision before the evening began. Tonight wasn’t for showing his women off, nor would any of the coming days in the future ever be. He had no interest in the eyes of men devouring what belonged to him. So when he asked them to bring outfits they’d be comfortable wearing in a public bath, none had argued.
