My Horny Stepmom Turns Me into Her Vampire Slave

Chapter 205: B - A day full of surprises

The night I spent with Naomi was truly unforgettable.

After that first intense round, we went at it again about an hour later — just enough time to finish the joint and get some of our energy back. In the end, between the weed and the exhaustion, we literally passed out.

The last time was the following morning. When I opened my eyes and found her naked, soaking wet, and straddling me... well, I gave her a proper good morning.

Even so, I still can’t get that hint of sadness out of my head — that look she had right after I’d come inside her, when she kept insisting I shouldn’t get any strange ideas about the two of us having a romantic future together.

Of course, I’d never even considered something like that.

But then... why did she feel the need to emphasize it so much?

Anyway...

"I-I know it’s probably too late to say this, but... I’m sorry, Axel. I was kind of a bitch to you," Kimberly murmurs, her eyes lowered in obvious remorse. "It’s just... you know how it is. The rumors about you don’t exactly paint you in the best light. I guess it was only natural that, seeing how interested you seemed in me from the very beginning, my first thought was, ’Okay, he’s only being nice because he wants to add me to his list of conquests.’ Even though, in the end, you never actually did anything wrong. I’m sorry for treating you so coldly for no reason."

Naomi and I exchange a glance.

I’m not sure which of us is having a harder time believing Kimberly actually said those words.

I only approached her because of that stupid bet with Naomi, so she wasn’t entirely wrong to be suspicious.

If anything... I almost feel guilty.

"Yeah, I get it. I probably would’ve thought the same thing if I were in your shoes," I reply, pretending her prejudice actually hurt me. "But, you know, like you said yourself... they’re just rumors. Probably made up by some girl I turned down or some jealous guy. Judging people based on gossip without even getting to know them first... well, that’s not exactly a nice thing to do."

I really have no shame...

Am I seriously lecturing her?

Sure, judging people based on rumors is one of the worst things you can do.

But those damn rumors about me... they’re not even remotely close to the truth.

Come on. If you’re going to talk shit about me, at least get it right!

"...Besides," I add, wrapping an arm around Naomi’s shoulders, "I’m already happily taken. I’d never pursue anyone else."

At those words, I’m not sure who’s more shocked — Kimberly or Naomi.

Caught completely off guard and blushing with embarrassment, Naomi decides to play along anyway, awkwardly wrapping an arm around me in return.

"Y-Yeah... we’re a really happy couple," she says, forcing a cheerful smile.

That girl’s a true friend.

I think she immediately realized I only said that to get Kimberly to stop seeing me as some sex-crazed maniac.

With that, I’ve completely killed any chance I had with Kimberly... at least for now.

But I’m not in a hurry.

The bet is already off anyway, so I can take all the time I want with her.

If anything, this just makes the challenge even harder.

"Oh... I didn’t know you had a girlfriend. Then I really am sorry. I was stupid to believe all those awful things people say about you... I’m so ashamed," Kimberly murmurs, looking even more remorseful than before.

"And you, Naomi..." she continues. "I just want to say... you’re a truly beautiful girl. Not just on the outside, but especially on the inside. It must be hard being with someone surrounded by all those rumors... it probably wasn’t easy at first... and I really admire you for it."

Her smile turns warm.

"The love I see in your eyes whenever you look at him... how did I not notice it before? I’m really sorry for the way I treated your boyfriend when he’d done absolutely nothing wrong..."

"N-No, really... you don’t have to apologize for anything..." Naomi stammers.

Only the school bell announcing the end of recess saves Naomi from what could’ve become the most embarrassing moment of her life.

"Axel, you fucking idiot! Why the hell did you tell her we’re dating?! If that rumor gets around, not only will your mom probably shoot me... but the guy I’m seeing is going to be seriously pissed!"

"Oh, come on, it’s Kimberly. It’s not like she’d go around spreading gossip. W-Wait... what do you mean you’re seeing someone?! Since when?"

"For a couple of weeks now. I didn’t tell you because it’s not anything serious yet. But if it ever becomes more than just the occasional kiss, you’d obviously be the first person I’d introduce him to!"

She’s seeing someone?!

It hits me like a bolt from the blue.

Not because she’s dating a guy.... but because she didn’t tell me!

For years, she’s told me absolutely everything. And now she’s hiding something this important from me, even though we literally fucked just two days ago?!

What the fuck?!

"Does this guy know I came inside you last Saturday? And who is he, anyway? Someone from our school?"

"D-Don’t be an idiot... of course he doesn’t know, and I don’t want him to! He’s really sweet, caring, and dependable. It’s just that..."

"...it’s just that he can’t make you come the way I can, right?" I cut in with a satisfied grin. "That’s why you didn’t feel all that guilty about fucking me while you’re seeing him."

"What I do with him in bed is none of your business... and besides, you said it yourself — we’re only seeing each other! We’re not an actual couple yet, so there’s nothing wrong with hooking up with my best friend every now and then just for fun. And no, he doesn’t go to Ordrienne High. He’s actually almost thirty. He works in an office, and he’s very mature and responsible."

I’m tempted to say, "A guy pushing thirty dating an eighteen-year-old? What a loser."

But that would be a little hypocritical, considering that two of the last three women I slept with were in their forties.

Besides, when a girl dates a much older man, it’s usually for the money... or the sex. Or both.

But that logic doesn’t apply here.

He’s just some office worker — definitely not rich — and apparently he’s so disappointing in bed that Naomi has to fuck me just to have a few orgasms.

So what the hell does she even see in the guy?

Sometimes women really are a mystery.
