Building The Perfect Harem With My Heavenly Desire System-Chapter 61: Seducing Emily’s Mom (3)
Chapter 61
Sofia’s body stiffened, before a faint flush crept up her neck, slowly spreading toward her cheeks as she tried to focus her attention back on the flower in front of her.
Alex almost smirked smugly while watching her flustered movements, but immediately concealed it. He didn’t want all his pain-staking efforts to be for nothing. So leaning casually beside her, he lowered himself to appear helpful, while his eyes continued to sweep over the meticulous arrangement she had been working on all this while.
"So I guess you’re tying them to keep them straight, right?" He asked genuinely curious.
Sofia nodded, grateful for the normal conversation to ground her and wash away the awkward atmosphere.
"Yes... Roses can be really stubborn at times, if you don’t guide them early. They usually tend to grow all over the place." She let out a soft chuckle. "Kind of like people."
"Hmm... Seems like you’ve had your fair share of experience with people?"
Sofia hesitated at that question as her fingers began to tighten slightly around the stem she was holding.
"I suppose so," she replied quietly. "But which one of us on this beautiful blue planet doesn’t have some sort of history with others?"
"I guess no one actually," Alex hummed. "Except if you want to consider babies... Or maybe if you’re a man who has been living in the jungle for like a hundred years."
Sofia chuckled softly at his little joke, finding the young man genuinely funny, before going back to what she was doing. Alex, in the meantime, just continued to watch her work. He really had to admit that she was super good at what she did, even if the aura was clearly affecting her.
Just watching her delicate hand wrap around the base of the rose stem, had him thinking some really dirty thoughts, so to distract himself from those stupid thoughts, he reached out, taking the loose ends of the twine from her hand.
"Here, let me help you with that, since it looks like you’re clearly struggling a bit with the knot."
She flashed him an hesitant gaze.
"Are you really sure you know what you’re doing? Because roses are really delicate, if you apply too much force, they could snap, and you might get injured in the process."
He nodded his head and carefully began to tie the twine around the stem of the rose. His movements were surprisingly flawless and professional, it was like he had done this sort of thing a hundred times before.
And in truth he had indeed done this thing a hundred times, if not more, in his previous life. At that time, he would usually accompany Sofia into her garden whenever he and Emily visited home to pay her parents a visit, which he was always happy to oblige since he was technically an orphan with no family, so he always cherished those little moments. They always seemed to give him that feeling of having a mom.
Most times, while Emily would be inside chatting with her grumpy dad or straight up playing with the kids, Alex would usually be outside helping his ex mother-in-law with her beautiful flower garden. So he had in turn, managed to pick up a skill or two in tending to flowers.
If he even wanted, he could use his skills to garden his own flowers and sell them to all those clingy couples at the back of his apartment, who wouldn’t stop kissing for a single second, even if it killed them. God knows that even he was never like that with Emily.
Sure they kissed at times, but those were usually in moderate amounts. Well, maybe it had to do with the fact that he was usually busy at work, so he didn’t really have time for romance. And look where that got him, cuckolded at the end, and finding out that he had been raising his best friend’s kids for fifteen solid years.
"Wow! you actually know what you’re doing." Sofia exclaimed with surprise written all over her face. "And from the looks of things, you seem very proficient in handling a flower. I thought I’d never see a college kid who does this kind of thing, you know, my daughter Emily is always yapping about how boring gardening is."
Alex chuckled softly.
"I told you. I’m something of a gardener myself."
Sofia smiled faintly at that, but her gaze didn’t leave his hands, or it was safe to say that her gaze continued to drift lower toward his groin, before she shook her head lightly, chasing those distracting thoughts away.
The fact that he was a younger guy who was at least nineteen years younger than her, and was also in fact her daughter’s classmate, was enough reason to stop those thoughts... But for some reason, those obnoxious thoughts refused to go, no matter how hard she tried.
The desire meter immediately chimed at the edge of Alex’s vision as he finished tying the twine around the rose’s stem.
[DESIRE METER]
• Lust: 42% → 51%

Alex stared at the panel with a bit of surprise in his eyes. He hadn’t even touched her this time and her stats were already running this high. He turned to look at her and nodded his head with glee as she just stood there, looking absent-mindedly.
But when he thought about how much time had passed, he scowl a bit. He didn’t have enough time, so he figured that it was better to do the one thing that he had done with Nyx in her bar that night.
Even there was a chance that Sofia might slap him, he knew that the effect from that contact will scramble her brain, making it hard for her to do anything vicious.
"Alright here goes nothing." He muttered under his breath while standing up.
"’Uhm, Sofia, you’ve got some dirt on your face right here." He gestured while touching his right cheek.
Sofia blinked, startled, and patted her cheek.
"Here?"
"You’re almost close... you know what? How about I just help you dust it off, but please don’t get any funny ideas, I just want to be helpful."
Sofia hesitated for a second, before nodding.
"Well alright."
Alex stepped closer, closing the already thin gap between them and slowly lifted his hands toward her face.
"Yeah... Right there." He muttered, while brushing his fingers lightly against her cheek, wiping the non-existent dirt on her delicate features. He watched as her body stiffened for the umpteenth time today, and decided to let his palm linger against her cheek.
Sofia’s breath hitched, as a warm pool of heat, gathered between her legs. His touch seemed to have this intoxicating feeling that made her want to fully lean into it. The feeling was truly addictive.
Soon she began to notice that he was taking a bit long with the dirt and tried to pull back, but it felt like her body had turned to jelly, she couldn’t contain the intense heat that seemed to burn hotter with every passing second that his hand remained on her cheek. What she desperately craved for right now, was relief and the only person who could give it to her, right this moment, was the young man in front of her.
Yet, she still tried to resist with the thought of her daughter being inside, but the increasing heat finally broke down all her defenses, so without caring about anything, she let herself succumb to that intense desire and buried her face into his warm palm, reveling in its warmth.
The desire meter suddenly blared at the edge of Alex’s vision, like the alarm of a cop’s car that just went haywire.
[DESIRE METER]
• Lust: 51%... 60%... 72%
• Attraction: 60%... 69%... 80%
• Resistance: 5%... 7%... 1%

Watching the sharp spike in the system’s notification almost made Alex’s lips curl upward, but he restrained himself and kept his expression soft as he felt the full weight of Sofia’s body lean into his hand.
Just caressing her soft skin felt like heaven itself, he could even smell the faint aroma of her body scent lingering in the air, now that she was closer.
He didn’t even know when her fingers began clutching at his shirt. The feeling of her soft curvaceous body rubbing against him had his junior brother nodding in joy.
"Cough. Are you okay?" Alex asked carefully, while continuing to cup her smooth cheek.
Sofia didn’t answer, she just leaned her body closer to his, enjoying the warmth of his body. As the feeling of the blazing heat began to grow stronger, she squinted her eyes and muttered weakly under her breath while staring at his lips.
"I-i shouldn’t be doing this but..."
She suddenly removed her face from his palm, and pressed her lips against his, sealing the deal. Alex almost had the urge to curse out loud.
This was the third freaking time that a woman was kissing him first. Though... it was not like he was complaining about it. After all, having a woman like Emily’s mom, kiss him, was the mother of all revenge.
Pushing any distracting thoughts away, Alex focused on the sweet feeling of Sofia’s slick tongue twisting forcefully around his. He then used that opportunity to slip his hands into the crack of her dress and lightly palmed her massive breasts.
"Mhmm..." Sofia’s muffled moan rang out.
