36. If You Want To Devour My Life, Go Ahead.
While Nova was deep in thought, Alicia had just finished cleaning herself as she walked over to the boy and stood behind him.
He felt her arms wrap around his chest, her bare breasts pressed against his back, and her warm breath tickling the back of his neck.
"Why are you spacing out like that? Is everything alright?" Alicia asked in a soothing tone as she caressed his chest with both of her hands, tracing circles across his skin with her delicate fingertips.
Nova snapped out of his daze at once. He looked down at the two smooth, white arms hugging him and could feel her warmth emanating from her body as she pressed herself against his back.
He turned around and looked at her beautiful face, meeting her blue eyes, which held a tender look, nothing like how dark and cruel they had been during the time when she was killing Thrasher.
"Mom..." Nova muttered under his breath while staring into her eyes. "About the way you killed that guy earlier... Do you know the reason why you could do that? How could you drain that man's life force in that way?"
"It's simple, Nova." Alicia began in a sweet tone and gave him a sadistic smile. "Remember how a succubus is an energy-draining demon? Well, that skill allows me to drain a person's life force away if I have sex with them or if they are killed by me."
She leaned close to his ear and whispered seductively, "So beware of sleeping with me, otherwise I will take all of your life force away too~"
Nova stared at her, wide-eyed, unable to think of anything to say for a moment.
Then he chuckled slightly and gave her a mischievous look. "Hehe, it's not like I can resist you anyway, Mom... If you want to devour my life, go ahead."
Alicia laughed as she pressed her lips against his and kissed him for a long moment, her arms wrapped around his shoulders.
The kiss ended after about a minute or two as she pulled her face away from his and grinned.
"Don't tempt me, or I really will eat you up..." She teased as she started rinsing his hair.
They played around in the water for a while, washing each other's bodies and having some fun.
Meanwhile, Hilda was on the side watching them, unable to hold back the worries about the safety of the village chief any longer.
She had just decided to become the village chief's woman; how could she be calm while not knowing how he was doing now?
But no matter how much she wanted to know about him, she couldn't go and search for him herself, so she could only bite her lips as she worriedly gazed at the sky, hoping that he would be fine.
A few minutes later, Nova and Alicia stopped playing around, washing away the bad memories along with the dirt off their bodies.
Once they were finished, the two of them waded out of the stream with a trail of water streaming down their nude bodies and stood in front of Hilda.
Alicia noticed the worried look on Hilda's face as she smiled warmly and tried to cheer her up. "Come on, you should stop worrying. I am sure the village chief is going to be fine. He is a strong and capable man who won't fall so easily. We will see him soon after we go to the town, so relax for now, alright?"
Hilda looked at Alicia and sighed, forcing herself to smile and nod.
"Thanks... You two really saved me back there... I don't know how I can repay you for saving my life..." Hilda spoke with gratitude filling her tone.
Alicia walked up to her and hugged her. "It is fine; we both fought for our lives. So don't say stuff like 'repaying us' because it makes me uncomfortable..."
Hilda hugged her back as she spoke in a low voice, "I owe you big time. It was you who took the lead to buy time for us to escape, and your son was also the one to lure the attackers away so we weren't caught by them..."
"All right, stop... Just forget about it; we don't need to talk about it. All that matters is that we're alright now."
After saying so, Alicia pulled herself out of the embrace, gave Hilda one last look, and turned around to face Nova, who had been watching their interaction in silence.
"Now, give us the clothes, Nova. Or do you want to see us naked for a long time~?"
Nova looked at the two of them and smiled at the sight of their wet, bare skin exposed for him. "I'm fine with watching both of you naked the entire time, actually, but you might get sick. Here you go."
With that said, he walked to Alicia and handed her the clothes before handing over another set to Hilda.
He had stocked up on much clothing in his storage for himself and for his mother, so handing out one set for Hilda was not an issue.
"Thank you, Nova." Hilda said in an appreciative tone as she grabbed her clothes from Nova and started to get dressed.
As she was getting dressed, she glanced at Nova, who stood there completely naked and soaking wet, and saw his impressive, half-erect member between his legs.
Hilda found it hard to believe he had such an amazing length and girth even when he wasn't in that state. She couldn't stop herself from thinking about how it would feel to have that monstrous meat inside her body.
'What are you even thinking about?!' She shook her head to get rid of such thoughts as she hurriedly looked away and continued getting dressed.
Soon, the three of them were wearing clothes again. Alicia was wearing her dark purple silk dress, while Hilda wore a similar dress but in navy blue.
Meanwhile, Nova wore a black shirt that exposed some of his muscular chest, as well as white pants along with dark-colored knee-high boots.
