Chapter 604
"I know how things must seem to you . That I dated you only to get a freebie for my sister . I never meant to hide how bad her situation is from you, it's just that it's not something I like to talk about .
"I wouldn't have even bothered you with it if you weren't the best Healer I know and now that I'm a Field Assistant Constable, I can afford the treatment . I can pay you, so nothing has to change between us . I'm not trying to exploit you . " Kamila said .
"Gods, my paranoia is really rubbing off on you . I never thought anything like that . I too hid a lot of things from you . I know all too well how difficult it is to speak about a painful past . Only those who want to garner pity from others would speak of such things on a first date .
"I'm glad that you asked for my help, because it means you trust me enough to share your burden with me . I'm even more glad to hear about all the silly thoughts running through your head, because it means you are not taking me for granted . " Lith gently caressed her hand .
'I wish I was that strong . I have yet to tell her about my hybrid nature . I can't tell her about Awakening and true magic, but if things get really serious, I can't make the same mistakes Protector did . ' He thought .
"Thanks . " Kamila sighed in relief, feeling her worries fading .
"The thought that you might be doubting about my feelings was eating at me since yesterday . To be honest, it's the reason I avoided to… you know . " She said while the waitress brought them desserts .
The conversation moved again to their respective day's work and silly anecdotes about their lives . When they went to Kamila's apartment, Lith was happy, relaxed, and most of all, sleepy .
"I had too much wine . I'll go take a quick shower to clear my head and I'll join you as soon as I slip into something more comfortable . " Kamila said .
'Tomorrow I have a full day and today I've used Invigoration so much that all my body aches . With a full stomach and considering how tired I am, I'd better avoid making advances .
'Besides, things with Kamila will be awkward for a while, at least until we solve Zinya's problem . Heck, I'm too tired even for theory crafting magic . ' He thought as the Skinwalker shapeshifted into his pajama .
Lith checked with Life Vision that nothing was out of order and that there was no unknown magical item before being able to relax . He fell asleep the moment his head touched the pillow .
It didn't last long, though . A sudden flash of light and a mildly amused voice woke him up after what seemed a second .
"What are you doing?" There was a tinge of annoyance in Kamila's voice .
"Isn't it obvious? I was sleeping . " Lith shielded his eyes from the cruel light with a hand .
"After how you kissed me when I returned home? After what I said earlier? What happened to your math skills?" She was tapping her foot, her hands on her hips .
"What do you- Good gods!" Lith's mind recalled her earlier words as his vision returned to normal . Kamila was standing in front of the door wearing only red lace lingerie . It made wonders emphasizing her pale skin and soft curves .
During his time as Assistant Professor at the academy, Lith had used the White Griffon network to patent the underwear he had plagiarized from Earth . It hadn't been the success he had hoped for, except for the women underwear, of course .
Lith had gifted Kamila a few for their amorous plays and she was now wearing his favorite one .
