The Deceitful One-Chapter 68 Acquired Taste
After a thirty-minute warm bath, Bryan and Lily came out of the bathroom which was connected to Lily's bedroom on the second floor of the villa.
Bryan went toward the single-seater, blue-colored cushioned couch by the floor-to-ceiling window and sat there, looking outside and admiring the nighttime view of the vineyard.
Lily who had wrapped a white towel around her torso went to the bedside table and took out a small silver-colored container the size of her palm from the drawer. She then walked to where Bryan was sitting.
As she approached Bryan, she took off her towel, revealing her slim abdomen, wide hips, round butts, and thick thighs. Meanwhile, her blonde hair still slightly wet from the earlier bath further accentuated her alluring beauty.
She then went around the couch and sat on Bryan's lap. Bryan simply smiled at Lily's attempt to arouse him and then his gaze landed on the silver case in her hands as he asked curiously, "What's that?"
Lily smiled as she opened the silver case. Inside, about a dozen hand-rolled cigarettes were placed neatly in two rows, atop each other.
She took two out, gave one to Bryan, and kept one for herself as she introduced,
"Bright-leaf tobacco, imported all the way from the Southern Continent. It is milder, lighter, and more aromatic than the cigarettes they sell anywhere in the Western Continent."
Bryan's interest was piqued. He had never tried cigarettes before. Not even his teacher, Detective Watson smoked any form of tobacco.
Lily took out a gas lighter that had a silver-colored rectangular metal shell and a flip-top. She gestured for Bryan to put the cigarette between his lips.
Bryan put the tip of the hand-rolled cigarette in his mouth, after which Lily lit the other end of it. He lightly sucked on the cigarette and then instantly exhaled the smoke causing Lily to chuckle.
He looked at Lily in puzzlement, "What?"
"That's not how you smoke it. Look." She then lit her own cigarette and took a long drag after which she inhaled the smoke. After keeping the smoke inside her lungs for a few seconds, she exhaled.
"You have to inhale the smoke, keep it inside you for a while so that you can get a good hit, and then finally exhale." She explained with a faint smile.
Bryan nodded his head in understanding as he took a long drag of his cigarette. However, the moment he inhaled it, he began to cough violently as his eyes turned red.
"W-What the fuck?" He looked at Lily while still coughing.
Lily covered her mouth as she giggled, "It's an acquired taste! You'll soon begin to love it."
She then took another drag of her cigarette and inhaled the smoke as she savored the nicotine hit while closing her eyes. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
Looking at Lily's expression, Bryan took another puff, however, this time he took a short one compared to the last time. As he inhaled the smoke, the nicotine within came into contact with his pharynx.
This time, he proactively tried to feel the sensation of the hit. It was sort of like a buzz of pleasure that he hadn't felt before. However, this buzz soon faded as he exhaled the smoke.
He looked at Lily and smirked, "Not bad!"
Lily nodded her head as she smiled, "I know right? This is the best tobacco that I've ever smoked."
Bryan then took another puff of the cigarette and continued to enjoy the smooth flavor of the tobacco along with the buzz from the nicotine. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
After about two minutes, he was done with the cigarette as he stubbed it inside an ashtray that Lily had brought at some point.
? He then looked at Lily who was now already more than halfway through her second cigarette and asked, "Do you have any more of this? Can I buy it from you?"
Lily blew the smoke on Bryan's face as she teased, "Yes, you can buy it from me. And the price is you coming here more often and ravaging my body."
Bryan took the cigarette from Lily's hand and took a big puff. He then stubbed it inside the ashtray as his lips curled up into a smirk, "Then let me pay you in advance."
He then carried Lily in his arms and walked toward the large bed behind the couch. As he walked toward the battlefield, he passionately made out with her as he began to think of all the different positions to make use of.
…
The following day at noon, Bryan walked out of the Dyke Family vacation villa in an unusual gait. The servants that he came across gave him knowing looks, however, they didn't say anything to him.
'Fuckin' hell! That nympho, did I fuck her or did she fuck me?' He cursed in his heart.
After making love to each other throughout the entirety of the night, Bryan wasn't able to walk properly because his balls hurt so badly. It would begin to hurt if he squeezed his legs even a little bit closer.
However, one thing he couldn't deny was the fact that Lily was one hell of a woman in bed, a hundred times better than Leah, maybe even a thousand times.
Bryan took Lily's personal carriage and headed back toward 7 Robinson Street. He was planning to head to the police station today to practice shooting but he wisely canceled the plan.
'It would be better to just stay at home and meditate.' He thought.
He was supposed to officially start working with the Silver Owls on the 1st of September, however, he decided to start tomorrow since it was Monday, the beginning of the week. It wouldn't make a difference if he started a day early.
Looking at the sparse houses on the side of the street, Bryan was full of anticipation toward beginning his life as a member of the Silver Owl.
The last time he met Robert, the Captain of the Silver Owls in Damascus, at Kenny Adam's house, he had mentioned that their team almost always deals with Transcendent related cases.
Bryan basically thought of them as the Transcendent Police. His eyes shone with expectation as well as excitement as he thought, 'Transcendent-related cases… how interesting!'
