Chapter 42: Princess

Ajax Steel's Point of View

I spent a lot of time exploring her mouth. She is intoxicated and smells strongly of booze. I drew her closer to me while simultaneously pulling my face away from hers, after which I arched my eyebrow.

"Did you perhaps drink?" I mumbled something while while raising my eyebrows.

As Livia went in for a hug, her squinting eyes developed a glimmering quality all of their own.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't make it home.” She enunciated in a pitiful manner, "I fell asleep."

I ignored my noodles entirely as I sat down on the high stool chair and then cast a glimpse in her direction before returning my attention to my food. When I was still topless and caressing Livia's back, she laid her body on top of mine and rested it there.

The corners of Livia's eyes turned upward and met mine as we stared at each other.

I addressed her with an easygoing but commanding tone and said to her, "Livia, I have a question for you."

There was a hint of a pouty lip that appeared.
