The Lustful Villain: Every Milfs and Gilfs are Mine!-Chapter 51. The Next Day After The Almost Threesome

The thin curtains in the inn room let in the morning sun, which made soft golden lines on the bed where Rex was sleeping between two women.

Mara’s grayish hair fell across the pillow on his left, and her face was calm in a way he had never seen when Garrett was around. And there’s Lily... curled up a little to his right, her breathing soft and steady, with one hand resting near his chest.

Rex slowly opened his eyes and let the feeling of satisfaction sink in. He needed last night to be just like that.

At first, the three of them were having an awkward conversation. Lily was shaking, and Mara looked defensive. However, he guided the conversation with a deft touch, adeptly manipulating their emotions.

Lily was crying tears of relief instead of shame by the end, and Mara had pulled the younger woman into an embrace that sealed their strange alliance.

What happened next was unavoidable.

"Last night was good shit as always... and today’s night is going to be... eh... average probably, knowing that I’m going to break her virginity." Rex thought to himself while looking at Lily’s sleeping face.

"Well... enough about that. I’m curious what will happen to my desire energy now that I did something different last night."

He moved a little, being careful not to wake either of them, and focused on the system interface that was behind his thoughts.

[DESIRE AUTHORITY SYSTEM - ENERGY UPDATE]

The familiar text scrolled across his mind’s eye, and Rex felt a spark of genuine excitement.

[ENERGY GENERATED: MARA KESSON]

[BASE GENERATION: 150 POINTS]

[SPECIAL BONUS APPLIED: SHARED EXPERIENCE WITH SECONDARY TARGET]

[MULTIPLIER: x2]

[TOTAL ENERGY GAINED: 300 POINTS]

[CURRENT TOTAL ENERGY: 650/800 FOR NEXT ABILITY UNLOCK]

Rex had to hold back a smile. "Ohh... it is different. That’s good."

Three hundred points in one night. The system had given him a reward for the threesome dynamic, which doubled Mara’s normal output because Lily was there.

From the perspective of a villain system, it made perfect sense. All of these things—corruption, manipulation, and breaking rules—were part of the main idea of desire as power.

He was only 150 points away from getting Foresight, a skill that would let him see possible futures and talk to people with almost perfect accuracy. And it’s even better to be in a fight with someone because he can predict their moves.

He had one more session with Mara, or he could push Lily to her limit and earn that first-time bonus. He was close either way.

[LILY VON STARLIGHT: 96/100]

[STATUS: POST-INTIMACY VULNERABILITY, EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY MAXIMUM]

The number had gone up three points in one night. She was four points away from the highest score, and Rex knew exactly how to get there.

He just needs to give her time, love, and the reassurance that she is the only one who has him; even though she is sharing him with Mara, Rex can still make her feel like she is his one and only.

Let her know she’s special.

It was almost too simple.

Mara was the first to move next to him. Her eyes slowly opened and were unfocused for a moment before they found his face.

The smile on her face showed that she was thrilled, like someone who had stopped fighting for what they wanted.

"Morning," she said softly, her voice still rough from sleep.

"Morning," Rex said in a low voice so Lily wouldn’t wake up yet.

Mara moved in closer and kissed him softly on the shoulder. "Last night was great as always..."

"It was," he said, and he meant it.

He meant it, not in the way she probably assumed, but in a strategic way. Things had gone as planned.

Lily started to move on the other side of him. Her eyes opened, and for a moment she looked confused before she remembered what had happened.

Her cheeks turned pink right away, but instead of pulling away, she got closer and buried her face in his chest.

Lily said, "I-I... can’t believe that really happened," but her voice was muffled.

Rex put his arm around her and traced random patterns on her back with his fingers. "No regrets, right?"

She shook her head quickly. "No... none."

"I just... I never thought..." She stopped talking and couldn’t finish her sentence.

Mara reached over Rex to brush a strand of hair from Lily’s face. The gesture was surprisingly motherly given the situation.

"Sweetheart, it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. We’re all new to this."

Lily raised her head a little to look at Mara and then at Rex. "Are we... is this really okay?"

Rex gently cupped her cheek and made sure she was looking right into his eyes. "Lily, you’re important to me, and Mara’s also important to me."

"What we have doesn’t have to look like what other people have... as long as we’re honest with each other, that’s what matters."

The words were thoughtful and resonated deeply. Lily’s face changed from relief to love, and Mara’s hand found his and squeezed it gently.

[LILY VON STARLIGHT: 98/100]

Two points left.

"Come on," Rex said as he sat up slowly. "Let’s get breakfast going."

"I’m starving because of last night letting it all out... and I’m pretty sure the world hasn’t stopped turning just because we had a great night."

Both women laughed softly at that, and the tension that had been in the air for a while went away like morning mist.

...

Rex helped Mara make breakfast in the Broken Wheel Inn’s warm and familiar kitchen. The smell of rising bread and smoked meat filled the air.

Lily was still upstairs to wash up and change, so the two of them were alone for a while.

Mara worked quietly next to him, cracking eggs into a bowl while he cut bread from the loaf he had made the day before. It was easy to get into a rhythm with it, like the kind of partnership that comes from being close to each other a lot.

After a while, Mara said in a low voice, "You’re good with her."

Rex looked at her. "With Lily?"

"Mm~! She needed someone like you, someone who sees her."

He didn’t answer right away; instead, he focused on the bread. Mara wasn’t wrong, but she was also putting her own thoughts into the situation.

She needed someone to see her too, which is why she was in the kitchen with him instead of pretending to be a faithful wife.

Footsteps on the stairs interrupted them before they could say anything else. Rex looked up and saw Evelyn coming down into the common room.

Her face was blank, but her eyes were as sharp as ever. She wore plain clothes for traveling and had her dark purple hair pulled back in a useful braid.

"Morning," she said in a friendly way.

"Good morning, Evelyn," Rex said without hesitation. "You’re up early."

"I couldn’t sleep much," she said as she walked toward the kitchen. "I’m still thinking about everything that happened the other day."

Rex saw his chance and took it. "That makes two of us. I keep replaying that fight in my head."

Evelyn’s face changed a little, and something that was hiding fell away. "You took a hit that should have killed you... that axe was meant for Elliot."

"Maybe that’s what I call a reflex," Rex said with a shrug and put down the knife. "I didn’t really think about it."

"That’s what makes it so great." Evelyn crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "Most people freeze when they get that close to death. You moved toward it."

[EVELYN ASTRALIGHT: 15/100 → 18/100]

[OBSERVATION: REASSESSING INITIAL JUDGMENT, RESPECT BUILDING]

"I’ve been thinking about what you said," Rex said, moving a little closer so that their conversation seemed more private.

Mara was still there, but she had started humming and paying attention to the eggs. "About being careful and also not trusting everyone."

Evelyn’s eyes got a little smaller, but they were also curious. "And?"
