A good natured smile.

Leonardo looked at the confused Hailey then turned to Helen, giving her a nod.

The hospital ward went silent as Leonardo talked about the deal he made with Silvio. Helen asked about his intentions while Hailey looked at him with big, accusing eyes.

But Leonardo just sighed with helplessness, "You'll have to trust me."

Hailey turned her face away and walked out, Helen sighed and nodded at him.

Not much later, the doctor gave the authorization to leave, but cautioned him countless times of various things, since he hurt his head and has an unusual condition

The ride home was silent after Helen told Hailey was anemic and would be eating more from now on, but Leonardo preferred it like that as his plans flashed by his mind with ease, like a ferry on a calm river. 'Is this the effect of lust?' He thought inwardly.

[ Yes, roping your father into your plans was an ego massage, a planned trap, a pleasure of the mind, pleasures of the flesh will strengthen the flesh, pleasures of the spirit works the same way. But that's a temporary boost, like an orgasm, it'll only become permanent with exercises.]

'You can read my mind?' He asked inwardly, the butterfly felt his gaze and landed on his arm

[Don't be too amazed, I can only read your behavior and our spiritual connection to discern what you might be feeling. But I can understand every word you meant for me. Just like I talk into your mind.]

Leonardo nodded to himself and immediately started to roughly translate what was on his mind onto the phone, orgasms don't last long after all.

Time passed, the twenty-minute journey came to an end. They were in front of the villa's gates, ready to enter when a roaring motor came from behind.

Leonardo raised his chin, recognizing it.

Helen stopped the car as the thick, black bike went ahead of them and stopped.

"Hey, old neighbors! Its Lil Cecilia! Haha"

Leonardo remembered that the first call he received on his worst day ever was from this big sister of his.

She was currently wearing an army uniform. Taller than Helen by half a head, reaching around 1,76 cm. She wasn't able to show it through the uniform, but Leonardo remembered her fit and well-sculpted upper body from their swimming days, her shoulders were thin and coupled with her medium-sized firm boobs, made her wide hips and bottom obvious.

[What a sinful shape] Azumi muttered, Leonardo, nodded along with squinting eyes.

"Woahh, so it's true, my little neighbor has finally grown. He's even gazing at his elder sister as a starved dog looks at meat."

Her mellow teasing voice made Leonardo snap out of it. Helen was also grinning with a tease in her lips while Hailey just smacked her lips away.

In a second, Leonardo remembered what Azumi said about unfulfilled desires, and how they must be realized…A tint of red flashed by his eyes.

'The number of thoughts I had with this elder sister of mine…'

A good-natured smile appeared on his mouth.

[She still thinks of you as a boy.] Azumi said, Leonardo, ignored and spoke.

"Elder sister, you didn't come to visit me in the hospital a single time! You have to lend me that bike to compensate."

An amused smirk blossomed on Cecilia's cheek. "Unfair or not, you won't drive my 1000 cc horse around."

Hailey frowned at their exchange. Leonardo didn't mind or shied away while Cecilia was amused and enjoying his unrestrained gaze. It all bothered Hailey.

"Then you'll have to drive me, I need to meet someone, then later you can show me how to drink, I'll pay," Leonardo said and walked to the back of the bike.

Cecilia's brown eyes widened. "I get to be the first person ever to see you drunk? Good! Hop in!"

"Leo, that's no good, Cecilia just arrived, let her rest at our home first."

Helen interceded.

But Leonardo mounted the bike and grabbed Cecilia's waist like it was the most natural thing in the world, then blinked one eye at his dumbfounded mother.

"T-that's bad, Cecilia is engaged now, she can't be seen with another man like that." Helen stumbled with her words.

Even Cecilia was caught off guard, but she just dismissively waved her hand at Helen," Elder sis, don' worry, this boy is just being naughty. Besides, my fiance is not from around here. No worries."

Helen didn't have more words and just sighed helplessly. But it was then she sighted Leo's eyes shine with a red light, and a malicious grin formed on his lips.

Before she could even say anything there was a deafening roar. The 1000cc horse had bolted away. Helen was stiff from what she just saw, while Hailey was frowning and tapping her feet on the ground uncomfortable and irritable with everything.

****

[What's your strategy? This woman seems easy to warm up with but hard to break through any deeper boundary..]

Azumi asked. The curiosity on her tone was thick, but more than that was the thirst, she too, wanted to eat Cecilia, and though she wouldn't do it through her own body, watching can be a pleasure itself. That's what Leonardo assumed.

Since they were on a long road, Leonardo just let go of her waist, lightly draped his body onto hers and rested his palms on her thighs. He felt Cecilia's mild jolt on her back and mused inside before deciding what to reveal to Azumi.

'Now that I learned your observation skills, I understood a thing about Cecilia, though she's not loose, she's still a wild, ruthless beast-woman. Be worse than her, or at least show you're not soft. And you'll be recognized as a man in her eyes.'

[But how will you show you're worse than her!?]

Remembering where the brightest woman he ever knew usually is at this time and, how his recently made ex-girlfriend is probably following her along with the new boyfriend, Leonardo chuckled as a good-natured smiled blossomed on his face.

'I'll just show her my good qualities, that's all."
