Chapter 149: Trusted Cure For Wedding Jitters (R-18)

By the time Aiden left the basement, the sun had gone down. Yet, the apartment was livelier than it had ever been.

People were rushing all over the place, giving the place a makeover.

"What the hell is going on here?" Aiden mumbled, quickly walking outside to see an unexpected sight.

Someone had found rolls of red and gold fabric from somewhere and had strung them along the railings of every common area balcony from the second floor upward.

Meanwhile, paper decorations cut into shapes that vaguely resembled flowers were hung from the ceiling of the main lobby on strings of different lengths.

Someone on the seventh floor had gone further and figured out how to rig salvaged fairy lights along the common area ceiling using the building’s power line, lighting up the floor like it was Christmas.

The corridor walls, the staircase railings... everything had been dressed up for some reason.

People were so busy with work that they didn’t even notice Aiden as he walked to the fifteenth floor. As soon as he did, he saw Milarel, Alisha, and Amaela on his door, and even they were decorating the floor alongside the wolves.

"Will someone tell me what’s happening here?" he asked, pointing everywhere around them. "What’s all this?"

Instead of replying, Alisha just looked at Amaela and smirked.

"Ugh, fine, you win," Amaela rolled her eyes. "Just don’t go too wild. It’s his wedding tomorrow."

"You don’t have to tell me that," she replied, turning to Aiden. "You’ll be staying at my place tonight."

Aiden raised an eyebrow, pointing at his own unit, as if saying why would he do that when he has a unit of his own?

"It’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony, My Lord," Milarel replied. "I’m afraid you’ll have to sleep somewhere else tonight, and Lady Karina seems to have won the bet. So, you will stay over with her."

Aiden opened his mouth to argue, only to close it and sigh. He knew how superstitious the women were about these things, especially when it came to their wedding.

Hence, there was no point in arguing about it. As for the decorations, it was most likely because of the wedding as well. Suddenly, a notification appeared before him that took him by surprise.

[Access to the home unit has been revoked for 12 hours.]

System... would you mind explaining this bullshit?

[Not at all, Host. It’s just that I’m a girl’s girl, so I have to help out my girlies.]

...

Aiden looked at the notification, then back at the girls. He could have easily pushed through them after all, there was nothing in this building or possibly the world that could have stopped him from going into his own unit if he genuinely decided to.

They all knew that, and that’s why they recruited the system to their side to ensure he wouldn’t think about doing it.

"Seriously..." he sighed, running his hand through his hair. "You think I would have forced my way in if Alisha didn’t want it?"

"Um..."

Milarel hummed and hawed at his words. Amaela just looked away like the plain walls were the most interesting thing she had ever seen, and Karina just scratched the back of her head and smiled awkwardly.

They couldn’t admit what they were thinking to his face, could they?

In the end, Aiden turned and entered Karina’s unit, only to hear Alisha’s voice as she peeked out of the unit. After all, he couldn’t see her, but there were no restrictions on talking.

"I’m sorry, and I love you!"

Aiden could have turned to look at her, but he didn’t. Just smiled and shook his head.

"Things I tolerate in love..."

***

Once inside Karina’s unit, Aiden immediately headed to the bed, intending to sleep. Instead, he kept turning over and over without a shred of sleepiness in his eyes.

He gave up around midnight, got up, and walked out to the unit’s balcony. The air outside was cool and carried a hint of ’freshness’. With the humans not polluting the space for a year, nature was thriving, and it showed.

[Can’t sleep because of excitement?]

"Honestly? No idea," he replied.

Was he excited? He wouldn’t know even if he was. The only thing that got him excited to the point of sleep deprivation was probably the thoughts of revenge or struggle for power.

Marrying Alisha came with neither, and yet whenever he thought about the marriage, his lips instinctively curved upwards.

"Eh? You’re still up?"

Aiden looked over his shoulder to see Karina there.

"Yeah, couldn’t sleep," he just shrugged, going back to watching the darkness.

Karina walked over quietly and stood beside him on the balcony, and leaned in just like him.

"I didn’t think you, of all people, would get wedding jitters," she chuckled. "It’s kind of cute."

Aiden smiled along. It wasn’t his first time getting married, so he didn’t think that was the reason. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized there was no other reason why he couldn’t sleep.

"Who knows what it is, but yeah, that’s the most likely reason."

As soon as he said that, Karina handed him a folded piece of paper.

"What’s this?"

"No idea. Alisha just told me to give it to you in case you can’t sleep. I thought she was overthinking, but I guess she was right."

Aiden opened the note and read through it...

Hi, future husband.

In case you were wondering what the girls were doing, we were having a bachelorette party! Honestly, I wanted us to have it together, but the girls insisted on sidelining you.

So... I thought it’s only right for you to have a bachelor party of your own. I know, I know, you don’t have many guys to hang out with. But then, you don’t need them either. Not with Karina around.

Besides, those men would probably take you to a brothel for a striptease or something. Rather than that, I thought you’d like to relax with someone you actually know.

I hope you enjoy my gift and calm down for tomorrow!

P.S. Don’t worry, Karina has promised me to let me do the same when you two get married. So enjoy yourself without any guilt. Bye! See you tomorrow!

"Damn... she wrote a lot. But I don’t think this is necessary—"

Before he could say anything more, Karina leaned in and kissed him, pressing her body against his. That was all it took for Aiden’s ’holier than thou’ act to collapse, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

"We should probably head inside—" she said, stepping back from the kiss.

"Nope," Aiden cut her off, still holding her by her waist. "We’ll do it right here."

Karina didn’t even protest and just dropped to her knees in front of him. The next second, she pulled down his pants and freed his cock. It was already half hard.

Karina looked up at him with hungry eyes and took him into her mouth.

"Mmm~" she moaned around his cock as she started sucking him.

Her head moved back and forth slowly at first, then faster. Her tongue swirled around the head every time she pulled back.

Aiden groaned and placed his hand on her red hair. Karina sucked him eagerly, making wet sounds as she took him deeper into her throat. All the while staring right into his eyes.

After a few minutes, Karina stood up. She turned around and bent over the balcony railing. She pulled her pants down just enough to expose her ass to reveal she was still using the buttplug.

"Come here," she whispered, shaking her butt. "But don’t take it out. I’m saving it for marriage... hehe."

"Fine by me," Aiden said, stepping behind her.

"Ahhn~!" Karina moaned. "Yes... just like that."

Aiden grabbed her hips and started fucking her. He thrust deep and steady, enjoying how tight and warm she felt. Karina pushed her ass back against him, meeting every thrust with more enthusiasm than the last.

"Ahn~ Harder... I want to feel you deep inside me," she moaned.

Aiden increased his speed. The sound of their bodies slapping together filled the quiet balcony. He reached around and squeezed her large breasts while pounding into her.

"Ahhn~! Ahhn~! You feel so good... ahn~!"

The more she moaned, the faster he fucked her. He even spanked her ass a few times, making her moan even more.

In time, Karina’s legs started shaking. She came hard, her pussy clenching tightly around his cock.

But Aiden did not stop. He kept thrusting through her orgasm, making her moan continuously. He pulled her upper body up so her back pressed against his chest. One hand squeezed her breast while the other rubbed her clit as he fucked her.

"Aiden... ahn~ I can’t... ahn~!"

"Just a bit more..." Aiden said as he felt himself getting close to a release.

He thrust deep a few more times and came hard inside her. Thick ropes of cum filled her pussy as he groaned against her neck.

Both of them stayed like that for a while, breathing heavily. Aiden slowly pulled out. Cum dripped down Karina’s thighs.

"Feeling better now?" Karina asked as she turned around and kissed him.

"Yeah... much better," Aiden smiled and nodded.

"Then let’s go to bed. You need to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day."

Karina took his hand and led him back inside.

Aiden followed her to the bed and wrapped his arms around her, and finally drifted off to sleep.
