Chapter 534 Jealousy at the Table

But in the end, Malrik restrained the impulse to kiss Emma again.

“Ms. Tibarn… Dinner’s ready…” His voice was hoarse beyond recognition, carrying a sensual allure born from lingering desire.

Emma made a vague sound in response, her voice unusually gentle. Her mind was still dazed from their earlier kiss.

No–I can be considered a veteran of such situations by now.

And his methods of seduction aren’t particularly new.

So… how was it that she felt as though she’d lost control of herself?

Turning her gaze toward him, she couldn’t hide the question in her eyes.

She asked in a low voice, “Did you use the Charm Technique on me?”

“No.” He shook his head solemnly. Then, he chuckled softly at her expression. The rumble in his chest was clearly transmitted to her through their closely pressed bodies. “I will never use the Charm Technique on you, Ms. Tibarn… not unless you truly wanted me to. But even then, it would have to wait until after you’ve given birth to the cubs.”

Raising his hand, he gently wiped away the traces of their kiss from the corners of her lips with his finger.

Then, he stepped back slightly to create some distance between them. He carefully straightened her clothes and hair that he had messed up earlier.

“All done.”

When he was done, he took her hand and laced his fingers through hers, his lips curving with a gentle and satisfied smile. “Let’s go. It’s time for dinner.”

She couldn’t help feeling a little frustrated.

Seriously? He hadn’t used the Charm Technique? Then, why do I feel such an uncontrollable urge to pounce on him? I can’t be that desperate… right?

Emma, plagued with countless doubts, followed Malrik into the dining room, hand in hand.

Everyone was already seated around the table.

As soon as they saw Malrik and Emma entering the dining room, their fingers tightly entwined, all eyes immediately shifted to Emma’s face–or more precisely, to her mouth.

Her lips were rosy and moist with a glossy sheen. They were also slightly swollen. One glance was enough to tell what had happened.

Calum widened his eyes in surprise, his gaze locked tightly on Emma’s lips, as if trying to burn two holes through them.

No way!

Malrik had only just returned, and he’d already kissed her?! I’ve been by her side for days, yet I haven’t even managed that much!

A sour pang of jealousy twisted through his chest.

“D’mn, Malrik’s too good at this…” Corvin, seated between Kieran and Alaric, muttered enviously under his breath.

Matrik had Emma wrapped around his little finger, even without using the Charm Technique. It was terrifying to imagine what would happen if he actually tried to charm her.

She flushed, embarrassed, under their relentless stares. What are these idiots gawking at? It’s not like they’ve never kissed before- what’s there to look at?

“Come sit here, Emma.”

Edric, noticing Emma’s discomfort, quickly pulled out the chair beside him and invited her to sit. Then, he added, “What would you like to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

Edric is truly the best, Emma thought to herself.

“Can you get me some soup, please?”

She wasn’t that hungry tonight.

For some reason, she just didn’t have much of an appetite.

“Okay.”

He immediately prepared a bowl of soup, taking extra care to have Marcus adjust the temperature.

Marcus‘ ice–based ability was perfect to quickly cool down any food that was too hot.

By the time Silas came back from his phone call, everyone had already started eating.

Seeing Malrik seated next to Emma, he tactfully refrained from heading toward Emma and simply sat down beside Calum instead.

Kieran promptly handed Silas a set of dishes.

“Thanks.” Silas accepted them with a smile. Then, he turned to Emma. “Emy, the starrail will dock at D–2 in one hour. We’ll be continuing on our journey early tomorrow morning, so do you want to get off and walk around for a bit after dinner?”

Emma grinned and nodded. “Yeah!”

She had been stuck on the starrail for days–it was beginning to get really boring, so being able to get off for some fresh air sounded great.

When she smiled, his expression similarly softened into a gentle smile.

“Unfortunately, I need to take care of something tonight. I might not be able to accompany you.”

The others were around, so he wasn’t worried about her safety.

“What’s wrong? Did you run into trouble?”

She immediately set down her spoon, concern flashing in her eyes.

“Don’t worry. It’s just some work–related stuff.” He shook his head. “I need to meet someone. It’s not dangerous. I’ll be back soon.”

Ever since he told her about the scheming, dangerous situations he’d experienced, she always pictured him walking into a minefield whenever he mentioned ‘work‘.

The starrail smoothly docked at D–2’s spaceport after dinner.

Emma leaped to her feet, unable to stop herself from walking over to Silas, and whispered, “Is it really not dangerous? Do you want Calum to go with you? Or Marcus or Matrik? They’d work, too.”

They were Rank 11. Surely, they could keep Silas safe.

Though Silas was very happy that Emma was so worried about him, he knew that what he had to do wasn’t suitable for bringing others along.

Cupping her face gently, he kissed her on the cheek.

“No need to trouble them.

“I promise–I’ll come back safe.”
