You'll need it

As Alex was still laying on the bed, daydreaming, Anna got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her wet body.

As she made her way to her wardrobe, her plump ass swayed from side to side, causing Alex's cock to swell up and quickly harden, ready for another battle.

"Don't even think about it, I'm quite late as is", said Anna, warning Alex.

However, Alex wasn't easily discouraged. He climbed out of the bed and approached Anna, who had turned her back on him the moment she issued her warning.

Before she had the time to notice what was happening, Alex wrapped his hand around her waist and hugged her from behind, then said in a sultry voice, "Come on, let's go for another round~".

As he said this, he moved his cock under her towel and rubbed it against her ass.

Feeling Alex's hot member rubbing against her ass, Anna got excited and hesitated if she should really go for it, but then she remembered that she was late and distanced from Alex while saying in her firm tone "No! I really can't right now"

"Well, suit yourself" replied Alex with a disappointed voice, before returning to the bed.

"You are not going to take your breakfast with the other's ?" Wondered Anna, seeing him return to the bed.

"Nah, I'll pass," replied Alex, his inner thoughts racing. 'I'm actually pretty tired, and knowing Lilia, I'm sure that whatever training she has planned for the coming week will surely drain me to the core, so, I better rest while I still can'

After Anna dressed up, she turned to find that Alex was already sleeping soundly.

She approached and, with a smile on her face, planted a kiss on his cheek before exiting her room.

***

Two hours later, Alex awoke from his slumber, took a bath and dressed up and exited Anna's bedroom.

As he was walking through the corridor, gasps of surprise could be heard as he passed the maids and other attendants, well, that was to be expected as he was walking around the mansion while only wearing a pair of pants.

He could see the blush on the maid's faces as they looked at his toned upper body, but paid them no mind and went straight to Ava's room, planning on retrieving the cores that he had asked her.

Knock Knock

"Come in" replied Ava from her room.

"Good morning mom" said Alex while stepping inside the room.

"Good mor-" Ava's words trailed off as she saw Alex coming into her room bare-chested.

'How long has he had such a well-defined body ?' Wondered Ava as she was eyeing Alex.

'Is she checking me out ? Well, I guess I should let her admire me' thought narcissistically.

After some seconds of silence during which Ava continued staring at Alex's well-defined body, he coughed to draw her attention from his body and then said in a teasing voice "finished checking me up ?"

Hearing him, Ava blushed a little, feeling embarrassed that she was caught staring, but quickly recomposed herself and replied with a playful tone "well, a mother has the right to see how much her son has grown, right ?"

'Yeah, right, I'm not buying it'

"Beside, it's not really my fault if you decided to strut around shirtless"

"Fair enough"

An awkward silence settled for a moment before Alex broke by asking "are all the cores I asked of you ready".

"Yes, I have them right here" replied Ava while showing him a spatial ring.

"However, I will not give them to you if you don't share with me the method you used to become a level one" continued Ava with a serious expression, making Alex understand that she wasn't playing around.

"Sigh, okay, I will tell you" replied Alex as he went to sit on her bed.

Ava sat next to him, then Alex started to narrate to her the story of how he got the lust artifact, how he used it to become stronger or even how he needed to sleep with women to become stronger.

Much to his surprise, Ava didn't appear as shaken as he had expected. In fact, she even sought clarification when he mentioned that he earned more points the closer he was to the woman he slept with.

Of course, he didn't tell her that he got even more points if the woman he had sex with share the same blood as him.

'I will eventually tell her about it, but not now, the moment she will know is when I hehe...' thought Alex while licking his lips.

"Does Lilia know about all of this ?" Asked Ava, after he finished his story.

'Why does everyone always ask if Lilia knows about it' pondered Alex inwardly while replying "Yes, she knows about it, and before you ask, yes, she is okay with me being with other women"

"Well, if she's okay with it, that's good. It means you can become stronger. By the way, here, take these," Ava said as she handed Alex the spatial ring.

"Also, Lilia asked me to let you know to find her at the training ground. From what she told me, she's going to train you to fight?" asked Ava.

"Yes, that's the plan," confirmed Alex, feeling a shiver run down his spine.

"Well, good luck"

'You'll definitely need it' continued inwardly Ava as she looked at Alex with a sympathetic glance.
