The Lustful Villain: Every Milfs and Gilfs are Mine!-Chapter 275. Diana Wants Me by A Lot, And I Gave it To Her (And Then Theo Saw It)
They went for a walk, just the two of them.
The street they chose was one of the quieter ones in the market district. On this morning, two days after a significant city event, it was even more subdued than usual, providing a unique sense of privacy in a location that was occupied but not overly crowded.
Rex said, "If I have to go to the nightwing’s household tonight, then I guess Theo is also there, right?"
"He lives there," Diana said. "So, of course he’s going to be there."
"Elaris has likely arranged the evening to create opportunities for specific events to unfold in front of certain individuals."
"I know that too," Diana said. "She sent a message to the Starlight residence."
"Can you do a favor for me, Diana?"
"What kind?"
Rex focused on the street ahead of them. "I need you to be honest tonight. Not polite. Not controlled. Just honest."
Diana was quiet for a while. "About what, exactly?"
"About Theo," Rex said. "I need you to be honest about what he has meant to you, what he doesn’t represent, and why."
She looked at the street the way she did when she was doing the accounting that involved things she would rather not count.
"You want me to say it out loud," she said.
"I want you to say what’s true," Rex said. "Because what’s true is worth more than what’s careful, and the people in that room tonight are the ones who should hear it from you directly."
"So that it truly feels like you’re being honest about your real feelings for Theo in front of them," Rex said, crossing his arms. "Well, you have the opportunity to choose, you know."
Diana walked a few steps without saying anything.
"He waited too long," she said, finally, in the flat and accurate voice she used for things that were just facts. "I waited for a very long time..."
"Long enough that waiting became its own kind of answer."
"And he knew," she said. "He knew I was waiting..."
"He wasn’t stupid, no matter what he says. He just didn’t want to take the chance of trying, which meant he wanted me to stay a possibility without becoming something real."
She stopped at the intersection and looked at Rex with the same flat accuracy.
"That was okay," she said. "Until there was someone who didn’t treat me like a possibility."
Rex stared at her.
"And then Theo decided," she went on, "that the problem was the person, not the years he had spent making sure I stayed a possibility instead of a choice."
Rex said, "That’s the truth."
"I know it’s true," Diana said. "I live in it."
For a moment, they stood at the intersection. The noise from the street moved around them in the same way that it does when two people are busy with something other than the street.
"Tell them that tonight," Rex said.
Diana stared at him.
"And the other thing," Rex said.
She didn’t say anything.
"About me," he said. "Say that too, if it’s true."
Diana held his gaze for a long time with a look that showed everything that was going on.
"That’s right," she said.
"Then say it," Rex told her.
She gave him one last look.
Then she put her hand in the crook of his arm, which meant she had made up her mind and was done thinking about it. And they kept walking.
"You’re going to owe me," she said.
"Yeah, I know," Rex said.
The corner of her mouth moved. "You’re very calm about that."
Rex said, "I’m usually calm about debts I plan to pay."
Diana gave him a sideways look.
"Tonight," she said.
"Not tonight," Rex said. "I’m busy, even after the meeting with Elaris ends."
"Hehhh... not fair..." Diana pouted. "You know I’ve been feeling so lonely to not get anything from you while Lily has probably done it two or three times with you."
"That kind of jealousy just wants to make me postpone it even more." Rex looked at her threateningly. "You want that...?"
Diana quickly shook her head. "No...! I’m sorry!"
Rex maintained her gaze for a moment longer than required, allowing the silence to work its magic. Then, the sharpness in his expression softened—just a bit. Just enough.
"But still..." he said, lowering his voice so it was meant only for her, "if you say all of that in front of them tonight. Especially Theo."
He leaned closer. "You will earn a very good reward from me."
The effect was immediate.
A heart symbol suddenly appeared in both of her eyes, and she began to breathe heavily. "Y-Yes..."
"Come." Rex grabbed her arms and led her into an alleyway where no one was around.
It was clear that Diana had changed as soon as the noise of the street faded away. The calm, careful woman who had quietly written down painful truths a few minutes ago was still there, but she no longer controlled her appearance.
Diana found herself pinned against the wall, her gaze fixed on Rex’s dominating expression, which caused her body to twitch involuntarily. "Rex..."
Rex held her chin and gently tilted her face up, which somehow felt stronger than force. He looked at her the same way he looked at everything else: completely and without apology.
"You’ll be a good girl and obey me, right?"
Diana looked up at him and felt, as she always did in moments like this, that every careful wall she had ever built was entirely pointless when it came to him. She hadn’t decided to love him. She had simply looked up one day and found that it was already done.
"Yes," she said. "Anything for you."
Not for show. Not a statement made with the expectation of something in return. It was simply as clear as the truth she understood.
"Good..."
Rex rewarded her with a kiss.
It wasn’t the restrained kind. It carried the full weight of everything that had been said on the street — the truth about Theo, the choice she’d agreed to make in front of people tonight, and the fact that she had put her hand in the crook of his arm and stopped thinking about it.
Diana couldn’t help but wrap her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss to make it feel even better. Her fingers found the back of his collar the way they always did, like she was making sure he couldn’t go anywhere without her noticing.
’Ah, yes... she craves this intimacy,’ Rex thought. ’She remains steady even now, and that’s fortunate—because her upcoming confession to everyone, especially Theo, is going to hurt like hell.’
He kissed her a little more thoroughly than he’d originally intended.
She had earned it early.
While they were lost in their kiss, Theo walked past the alleyway with the casual confidence of someone who had already decided today was going to go well for him.
But turns out...
It didn’t.
He first registered the silhouette, which was two figures close together who were clearly not talking. Then his eyes got used to the shadow, his brain caught up, and everything inside him came to a complete and terrible stop.
He saw Diana.
And she’s with Rex.
What’s even worse is that he could clearly see Diana’s arms around Rex’s neck like she had put them there deliberately, like she had done it before and planned to do it again.
He was so shocked that he had to run away, convincing himself that he was just imagining things to avoid a breakdown.
’Nope. Nope, nope, nope. It can’t be them...!’ 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
’It absolutely cannot be them...! I did not just see that at all...!’
’Those were two entirely different people who just happened to look exactly like them, and that’s fine and normal. I am fine.’
He turned a corner, then another, before stopping. Pressing his back against the wall, he stared up at the sky, his expression reflecting that of a man who had just witnessed his entire plan for the afternoon collapse.
’She wouldn’t—’
’But she—’
’No. No, I’m imagining it...’
’We’ve been childhood friends for so long.’
’I know her better than anyone.’
’She’s—she wouldn’t just—’
He straightened up after taking a breath and then fixed his collar.
"I truly believe that I can change our relationship if I confess my feelings to her wholeheartedly," he said, to no one, in the voice of a man arguing with himself because the other party wasn’t present. "After all, we’ve been childhood friends for so long, and I know her better than anyone."
He spoke with total conviction.
He expressed it as someone does when they’re desperately trying to avoid thinking about what they just witnessed in an alleyway, what it signifies, and the look on Diana’s face just before Rex kissed her.
He kept walking.
Behind him, in the alley, Diana was still kissing Rex like she had made up her mind about something a long time ago and had simply been waiting for permission to stop pretending otherwise....
