The Essence Of The Darkness
EOTL eps 39: Lingerie

It was past midnight when slowly, Xavier released his embrace from Sera's body. The woman looked exhausted, curled up and turned her back to Xavier's body with her legs bent and hands hugging herself.

Xavier shifted silently with the slightest movement so as not to disturb Sera who was sleeping. After that, the man stood on the edge of the bed, watching Sera who was completely unmoved from her mind.

This woman has a beautiful body figure, soft skin and fitting portions on her body that are very pleasant to touch and embrace. Sera's soft curves were created to be complemented by the strength of her sturdy body, a pair of bodies that filled each other.

Xavier thinned his lips, holding back all his turbulent desire as he watched over his wife's innocent body. Xavier's hand then moved to pull the tangled blanket masai that was lying at the foot of the bed to then sneak it into Sera's body.

Sera moved slightly, but only to turn her body into a more palatable position, after which Sera regained her comfortable coil behind the blanket and fell asleep again.

Xavier himself did not want to be tempted to do further. The man looked away, deliberately took his eyes off Sera's body so that his mind could also be distracted from the bed scene that inevitably made his desire more turbulent.

Xavier glanced at his clothes and also Sera's clothes that were scattered on the floor carpet of the room since before their romance earlier. Slowly, he grabbed his pants and put them back on to cover his naked body. He then forced his body to turn around and stepped into the bathroom.

When opening the bathroom door, Xavier still had time to glance at Sera who did not move from her original position, a sigh blew from her lips before she stepped into the bathroom and closed and locked the door from the inside.

Xavier turned on the warm water tap for the shower and made the glass wall that surrounded the shower was filled with dew due to the mist of warm water vapor that rose into the air. He's about to go under the shower. But then remembered the object hidden by Sera in the plant pot that was hung as a decoration at the top of this bathroom.

Xavier then did the same with Sera, taking a chair to reach out to the small box object that was still hidden in the last place Sera put it, and then grasping the black box-shaped electronic object in her grasp.

Xavier's hand pressed the only button there, and the screen of the mini-phone-like object lit up, displaying a message from Aaron sent in the afternoon, Xavier read it slowly word for word, and then said, and his eyes darkened even more with a terrifying gleam as he finished reading the entire message.

Slowly Xavier stepped towards the marble counter of the sink, then placed the mini-phone there. His own hand moved to get something out of his pants pocket. A box the size of a cigarette lighter made of strong-looking metal material.

Xavier took out a needle-sized object from there. That thing, despite its small size, is very sophisticated. It was a nano-technology eavesdropping device that could hardly be detected so thin and small. The thick is almost as big as a strand of hair, along the size of a sewing needle and is great for tapping any technology.

Slowly Xavier installed the device on the inside of the mini phone he had opened. The device automatically sticks to the electronic surface on which it is placed, safe enough that Sera would not even notice that it was installed there.

After that, Xavier closed the mini phone again, about to return it to its place. At the same time, the phone flickered, making Xavier look down and stare at the screen of the object in his hand.

The message from Aaron was real there, clearly read by Xavier.

Sera, I was taken to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. I don't know where it is, but the situation is very quiet, there are only guard steps outside and there are no vehicles. I suspect this is by the beach, because there's the smell of the ocean blowing from the air vents in the room where I was locked up. Help me, get me information from Xavier about where I'm actually locked up

Xavier tightened his molar furiously, his hands clenched, as if he was about to squeeze the mini-phone to shreds. But, of course he didn't do it. For now, he will stick to his original intentions, be careful and restrained until the time comes to destroy Aaron in the most terrible way he can.

If that time finally comes, Xavier will make sure that Sera is on his side and the woman will applaud him when he punishes Aaron.

Xavier then put the mini phone back in its place, cleaning all traces so that Sera would not be able to know that she had put her hand on the damn thing.

Afterwards, Xavier took off his pants and stepped under the waiting shower. Dropped his body with a burst of warm water that flowed hard and created the sensation of small blows on the surface of his skin.Warm water was refreshing, but unable to turn off the embers in his heart that was so hot burning.

A question blurted repeatedly in his mind, making him have to fight hard to control the anger and uneasiness inside his head.

Is this decision he made right? Is it appropriate that he put himself as an antagonist in Sera's life? Will Sera choose to side with Aaron and betray him?

…. Will Xavier have to kill Sera, if she is proven to be a traitor?

***

Sera looked at the ceiling of the room nervously. His eyes occasionally glanced towards the closed bathroom door. He couldn't clearly hear what was going on in there, but he knew for sure that Xavier was taking a bath.

Xavier was in the bathroom a long time ago. Did he usually spend so long just taking a shower?

Yep. Ever since Xavier got off the bed, wrapped around him and stepped into the bathroom, Sera had actually woken up. However, he struggles to keep his body immobile so that Xavier does not know that he has awakened.

Now, many times Sera sighed frantically, filled with a rumble of agitated feelings mixed with fear.

Maybe he shouldn't have kept that mini-phone in the bathroom. There will be a time when Xavier closes the bathroom door, alone in there and Sera cannot intervene as she is today.

Why did he not keep the small object under the bed or in another place that is easy to reach and watch?

Sera curses herself, while her eyes return to the bathroom, waiting for the man who seemed to be at home to linger there.

Xavier won't know that he's hiding something up there, will he? The position of the flower pot is above and not easily accessible, even most likely will always be separated from the attention of anyone who enters the bathroom.

Sera sighed once more, trying to calm herself down. The anxiety felt suffocating along with the increasing number of seconds spinning where Xavier was in the bathroom.

Bad thoughts even began to haunt him, making Sera even more frightened.He did not even check the tool first.

Is there any chance that the device makes a sound? Don't you think, when Aaron sends him a message, it will sound and draw Xavier's attention to where it's hidden?

Sera seemed to be suffocating, tension ensnaring her neck, making her sting and her chest hot as if deprived of oxygen. Then, suddenly, there was the sound of a key being opened from the bathroom, making Sera's body gasp and can do nothing but turn to the door with buying eyes and heart palpitating as if breaking from tension waiting for Xavier to appear from there.

Xavier's expression looked relaxed as he exited the bathroom. The man was wearing a dark-colored bathrobe tied haphazardly to his waist, his hair wet and a dark-colored towel was in his hands, rubbed into his hair in an attempt to dry it out.

The man commented on the smile when his eyes met Sera's eyes.

“You're awake? Did my activities in the bathroom wake you up?” ask Xavier kindly.

Sera's eyes watched the figure of her husband standing in the middle of the room, illuminated by the dim bedroom's sleeping lights.

Thankfully, the man looked as friendly as ever. That means Xavier doesn't know that Sera hid the mini-phone in the bathroom, does it?

Sera's question was sidetracked as her eyes stared at Xavier's beautiful appearance. Although his heart hated, but inevitably Sera had to admit that the man in front of him was really handsome extraordinary. Now, even with minimal illumination, Xavier instead looked like an angel standing with all the physical perfection that made an unstoppable thump churn in Sera's chest.

“A-I woke up not because of you,” Sera whispered slowly to reply in a choked voice. His mind was spinning, busy looking for excuses. “I'm just thirsty,” later.

Xavier smiled, looking at Sera motionlessly. “Are you hungry too? If so, we can go down to the kitchen for food. We haven't had dinner yet.”

The offer was very tempting, and Sera involuntarily touched her rumbling stomach, signaling to the owner that it was time for her stomach to fill.

“Mau?” Xavier asked back, his tone sounding soft a little seductive.

Sera gulped, then timidly nodded her head.There was a smile on Xavier's lips as the man replied to Sera's nod.

“OK. Wait a minute, I'll change clothes.” The man spoke calmly, then casually stepped to the front door of his wardrobe and took off his bathrobe just like that, showing off his sturdy body that was in a careless state.

The man was completely shameless, changing his clothes just like there was no one else in this room.

Instantly Sera looked away, her face was flushed red and hot. Even though they had been so close in the impossible for Sera to do with others, still seeing Xavier's body that was not covered by anything, made him careless.

Soon enough, the men finished changing clothes, wearing dark-colored pajama trousers combined with grey loose-fitting t-shirts. Afterwards, Xavier turned his head towards Sera, then raised an eyebrow when he saw Sera still sitting awkwardly on the bed, clutching the blanket that wrapped her body to her chest, and then holding her back, it was as if the blanket was his protective shield.

“Ah, your outfit.” Xavier smiled when he realized why Sera looked confused on the bed. The pajamas he had given Sera to wear had already been thrown to the floor in a tangled condition due to their romance, so it seemed, Xavier had to find another outfit to wear by the woman.

The man turned his head back towards his wardrobe, then took the clothes out from there and stepped closer to Sera, putting the clothes on her lap.

“You can wear this. Change clothes,” he said half gave the order.

Sera lowered her head, staring at the clothes that Xavier had placed on her lap.

It was a white T-shirt and….

Sera's eyes widened when she realized there was a plain black boxer behind the white t-shirt. Almost Sera threw it in surprise, lucky he could still control himself until he did not do it.

“I-it…. Your panties?” it was filled with disbelief.

The corner of Xavier's lips twitched, as if holding back a laugh.

“Yes, that's my boxer,” the answer is short agree.

Xavier grinned. There was a priceless sense of satisfaction when he saw Sera's shock that made him want to laugh out loud. This woman is like her own entertainment. It was not in vain that Xavier hid Sera's entire outfit in the next closet, only to have the woman naked all night.

Sera's expression right now was priceless.

“I'm sorry, princess. I don't have stock of new panties I've never worn for you. After all, the boxer was still better than wearing nothing at all. The size may be a little oversized, but there is a drawstring there where you can tie it tight so as not to sag. That boxer can cover at least half your thighs, much better than going out of the room wearing only a t-shirt and no pants, right?

Xavier's answer was so precise that Sera was unable to refute. He thinned his lips, weighed, then finally made up his mind.

Sera wanted to get out of this room, sighing for a moment from the nuances of the room filled with traces of intimacy she and Xavier and Xavier's offer to go to the kitchen for food was very tempting. After all, Sera was really hungry and wanted to eat. He was sure that Xavier would be evil and would not help him if Sera pleaded not to go out and asked Xavier to deliver food to this room.

“Good, I'll wear it.” Sera grunted, then looked at Xavier with an angry look.

The man was completely insensitive, even raising his eyebrows as if without sin.

“What's up?” xavier asked then in an irritating tone.

Sera pursed her lips. “Can't you be polite and turn your body around when I change clothes?”

Xavier chuckles. “Ah, request it again. The last time I granted it was because we weren't married. But now, I don't think I want to turn my body around. You and I have done intimate things that I will not explain in detail here. Supposedly, there should be no more shame between the two of us.” Xavier slightly ruffled his waist, looking at Sera with a defiant look. “Change clothes in front of me, because I don't want to turn away.”

Sera bought, looking at the most annoying man on the face of this earth with an unusually furious look. But, once again, Sera was placed in a desperate position without being able to refute, so inferior and unable to do anything other than obey her arrogant husband.

With a red face extinguished, Sera decided to stand up and started changing clothes slowly. But, of course he was no less resourceful, wrapped around the blanket to cover a circle at the top of his chest, then Sera wore a rather loose Xavier t-shirt through his head. Afterwards, smartly, Sera stuffed Xavier's boxer briefs from under the covers and put them into place carefully, keeping the slightest bit of sensitive parts that could be devoured by Xavier's shameless eyes.

Xavier smiled cynically at Sera's behavior. His lips formed a grin when he saw Sera trying to tie her trousers as tight as possible on her waist so as not to sag down.

“Need help?” Xavier offered softly, with a deliberate attitude.

“No!” Sera's voice slightly hardened at the end of his intonation, rejecting outright the dangerous perverted man's offer of help.

When he finished, Sera untied the blanket on his body, raising his chin with great pride towards Xavier.

“I'm ready,” he said in a haughty tone.

Xavier traced Sera's tiny body as if drowning in her long loose t-shirt to mid-thigh, while the black boxer she was wearing, peeked out from the tip of the extended t-shirt.

Sera did not know that Xavier had to try his hardest not to push her back into bed, then make love to her again until morning.

No. gabe. Xavier knew that she was starving because she had not fed him since they had arrived. Sometimes the stomach needs must be prioritized first. Because eating will give energy, and if Sera's body is powered, then the woman is strong serve him until morning.

Xavier reached out, his gaze forcing Sera to do nothing but accept the helping hand he gave.

“Come to the kitchen,” take her gently, sighing Sera to step out of the room.

***

The kitchen looked so clean and so wide. There is an elongated pantry on one side of the room, complete with a modern eight-seater stove, a large refrigerator and also various other modern cooking utensils installed there.

“Sit. I will prepare warm food and drinks for you.” Xavier squeezed Sera's shoulders slowly, then sat the woman in the high chair in front of the large marble-clad pantry in the kitchen.

Afterwards, Xavier stepped around to the opposite side of the pantry and took out two clean white cups from one of the kitchen cabinet nightstands, then placed them on the kitchen table

“Susu or chocolate?” ask the man friendly.

Sera, who could do nothing but sit and watch, would not answer.

“Chocolate alone,” he replied slowly, as if unsure.

“I'm not a chocolate drinker, so I'm sorry if I only have instant chocolate in my food supply. Chocolate will calm your mind.” Xavier said meaningfully. Then remove the chocolate powder from the clear crystal jar attached there. “Despite that, the caffeine content in chocolate may make it difficult for you to sleep. But, it doesn't seem like a problem. We're not planning on sleeping, are we?” continued later.

The red clover again adorned Sera's face when she could instantly imagine what Xavier was planning when they returned to the room later.

“Ah, milk only. I-I don't need to be calmed down, and I think I need to sleep,” interrupted Sera quickly, changing her mind intentionally.

Luckily Xavier had not poured the chocolate powder into the cup. The man's movements stopped, then closed the lid back from the jar containing chocolate that had been opened.

Without commenting on Sera's change of mind that implied a rejection for her, Xavier put the chocolate jar back into place, then step into the refrigerator and take out a carton of boxes filled with white milk and pour it over a small pot container that has been prepared on the stove.

The man lit the stove, warmed the milk with a small flame.

“No need to be pacified?” Xavier asked slowly, his body still turned back on Sera, seemingly focused on the milk she was warming. “Why do I see the opposite of you, Sera?” ask Xavier slowly.

Sera gasp. His widened eyes stared at Xavier's back, his braided hands squeezing each other nervously when he realized how dangerous Xavier's question was to him.

Why would Xavier ask him that? Did...don't the man actually find the mini-phone he had hidden in the bathroom?

“A-what do you mean?” Sera asked stammeredly, trying to sound ordinary but could not hide the trembling in her voice.

Xavier turned his head slightly towards Sera, enough to allow Sera to see his sharp eyes.

“You look restless since we came to this house. Are you thinking about something you're intentionally hiding from me?” xavier asked then in a tone that was no less piercingly sharp.
