《MYTHICAL DESCENDANT: Married to Mr. Fox》Chapter 12: GET CLOSE
Advertisement
Upon arriving at the mansion, Ember and Jayden went straight into the room. Ember headed into the bathroom. Jayden took off his shirt and just put on his pants. He looked at the calendar. Three days have passed; four days remain. He sighed when he looked at the calendar, because he didn't want to force Ember to make love with him.
He walked out to the balcony of the room and stood looking at the moon with a messed up mind.
After Ember is finished taking a shower, she looks for Jayden because she doesn't see him in the room. She glanced at the balcony and saw Jayden outside, shirtless. "Doesn't he feel cold?"
Ember was curious, and she went to the balcony and asked,
"Don't you feel cold, shirtless?"
Jayden turned to look at her with a charming facial expression. Seeing Jayden's body closely made her blush. She felt like wanting to touch him because his body looked seductive. However, she quickly clears her mind so she won't have a dirty mind.
"Not at all."
Jayden replied with a smile on his face and staring at the moon. Ember remembered and was curious about what Fabian had told them before when they visited them, so she asked,
"Jayden, why do we have to be together before a week is over? And what will happen to you if we don't?"
Jayden turned to look at her with a calm facial expression.
"Maybe you'll never see me again."
Ember frowned and looked at him with confusion after she heard his answer, "What do you mean?
"I'm sorry I can't tell you more. I'm going to take a shower. Don't stay long outside; you'll catch a cold."
Then Jayden went into the room. Ember leaned against the balcony and sighed. "What are they hiding? This family is full of secrets."
On the way home, Xander and Aubrey do not speak. But Aubrey felt awkward not saying anything.
"Your name is Xander, right?"
"Yes." Xander replied solemnly.
"Are you Jayden's driver?" Aubrey asked again. Xander was silent for a moment, then responded, "No."
"If you're not a driver, what do you work for?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
"Seriously, not only is Jayden's family full of secrets, but your life is also full of secrets."
Aubrey expresses her thoughts. Xander just kept quiet, not saying anything. After a few minutes, they arrived at Aubrey's big and luxurious house.

"Are you sure you live here?" Xander asked, and Aubrey looked around.
"Yes, this is my house. Why?"
"I thought you were just an ordinary girl. But a princess? A beautiful princess."
"P-Princess? B-Beautiful? Don't speak nonsense. I, I'm not a princess. I'm just enjoying living a simple life. Thank you, Xander. See you again. Drive carefully." Aubrey got off the car hurriedly because she felt embarrassed being called a beautiful princess. Xander was confused. What's wrong with her? Why is she stuttering? Did I say something that offended her?
He shook his head and then drove away from the place.
While sleeping at night, Ember dreamed she saw a lot of blood. She saw scratches everywhere; she saw bleeding fangs; she saw white fur. She saw Jayden run screaming in pain, leaving her with a bloody body. In that dream, Ember chases Jayden and he disappears from her view.
Jayden woke up from his sleep because he heard Ember's voice. He looked at her. She was talking in her sleep and crying. He awoke Ember because he was concerned about her condition.
"Hey, wake up, wake up. It's just a dream."
Ember woke up and sat down. She looked around and saw Jayden next to her with a worried face looking at her. Ember hugged Jayden while she was crying. Jayden is taken aback as Ember hugs him, but he knows Ember is having a nightmare.
"It's okay, it's just a dream. You're having a nightmare." Jayden tried to persuade Ember by patting her back gently. After being persuaded by Jayden, Ember fell asleep again, hugged by Jayden.
Jayden slowly laid Ember down with him. Ember hugged Jayden tightly while she was sleeping. All night, Ember slept hugging Jayden. Jayden didn't mind being hugged by her, and together they continued their sleep.
Jayden woke up early, and Ember was still asleep. He looked at Ember, who was still sound asleep. He didn't want to wake her up, so he just remained silent and unmoved.
After a few minutes, Ember woke up and opened her eyes slowly. She was semi-conscious. She felt like she had touched something. She stroked it because she wanted to know what she was touching. She opened her eyes wide and saw her hand touching someone's chest. Because her mind isn't fully awake, her hand is still on Jayden's chest. She keeps stroking his chest because it feels hard.

"Does it feel good to touch my chest?"
When Ember heard a voice, she pulled her hand quickly. She was startled as she saw Jayden staring at her. Ember got up and sat down on the bed.
D-Did I just stroke his chest? This is embarrassing.
They looked at each other. Ember was panicked and quickly apologized to him.
"I... I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I... I touched and hugged you. Maybe you felt uncomfortable."
She replied with a guilty face and embarrassment. Jayden sighed and got up from the bed.
"What do you want to apologise for? Isn't it normal for married couples to touch each other?"
Jayden responded with a slightly disappointed tone in his voice.
"Jayden, I don't mean that. I just don't want to make you feel uncomfortable." Ember tried to explain.
"No, I don't," Jayden replied solemnly, and went into the bathroom.
Ember sighed after Jayden left her alone. Have I made him upset? But it's true that I'm worried that he'll feel uncomfortable. But why did he react that way?
My body ached all over. Is it because Jayden and I slept in each other's arms or because I was in the wrong sleeping position? Ahh... The root reason is the same.
Ember laid herself back on the bed. She experienced physical aches, which made her unwilling to go to work today.
Jayden came out of the bathroom, and he was dressed. He saw Ember still lying on the bed.
"You didn't go to work today?"
Ember just shook her head.
"Why?"
"I... I felt like my whole body hurt."
"Fine, just stay at home if you don't feel well. If you need anything, tell the housemaid."
Ember nodded her head without saying anything and closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Jayden looked at her. Is it because she and I slept in each other's arms that made her body hurt? Then I'm wrong for being upset with her early in the morning. Apparently, her body was uncomfortable.
He wanted to apologize, but Ember was sleeping, and then he just left the room with a guilty feeling.
A few hours later, while sleeping, Ember receives a phone call from her friend Megan. She woke up and picked up the phone.
"Hello, Megan."
"Good morning, Ember. Are you free today?"
"Yes, today I'm just staying at home. Why?"
"Oh, great. I want to invite you to come to my resort. I really miss you and Aubrey. But just now, I called Aubrey. She can't come. Can you come?"
"Hmm, let me ask my husband first."
"What! Are you married?"
Megan was surprised to know that Ember was already married.
"Yes, Sorry, because I can't invite you to my wedding."
"It's okay. Give me your answer later, okay?"
"Okay."
After they hung up the call, Ember wanted to call Jayden, but she just realized. She doesn't have Jayden's contact number.
"Oh my, I don't have his contact number. What should I do? Oh right, I can ask his mom."
Ember sends a text message to Camilla, asking for Jayden's contact number.
"Hi Mom, may I ask for Jayden's contact number? I forgot to ask him.
"Okay dear, this is his contact number, xxxxxxxxxx."
"Thank you, Mom."
"You're welcome."
After getting Jayden's contact number, Ember called Jayden. At the time, Jayden was in the office, looking at his phone. There was an unknown number that appeared on his phone screen. "Hmm... whose number is this?"
Without hesitation, he picks up the call.
"Hello..."
"Hello, Jayden, it's me, Ember."
Jayden was shocked after hearing Ember's voice. He didn't think Ember would call him.
"Ah... It's you..."
"Jayden, I want to tell you that my friend from Holokai Island invited me to come to her resort. May I go there?"
Jayden pauses for a moment because he's not sure what to say. If I'm not allowing her, what if she thinks I'm trying to control her life? We're just married, but she wants to go there.
Jayden hesitated to say yes, but he still allowed it.
"Yes, you can go."
"Okay, thank you."
Ember replied happily and hung up the call. After putting off the call, Jayden sighed. He didn't want her to go, but he didn't want her to think he was trying to control her life. He just feels bad because she went somewhere far away alone.

Path of Salt
After running off with his best friend to fight as Mercenaries, Tobias found out that he wasn't built for battle. Swiftly defeated but not dead, he could only lay down on the grass, and watch as Marcus fought off their enemies almost singlehandedly. Both of them survived that battlefield, and they both decided to return back to their Village. Tobias' ideals and expectations were shattered by the reality of War, so he decided to settle down instead. On the other hand, something awakened within Marcus. He woke up one day, only to be greeted by a floating panel of light. [Name: ... Marcus][Race: ... Human][Class: ... ... ...] [Hero] [Welcome to the System] What is a village-born Hero to do, but answer his calling? Current schedule: No chapters for the next few months. I'm still writing the entirety of Volume 2. WARNINGS:-Yes, this contains LitRPG elements after a slow start, promise.-This work is incredibly Slice-of-Life heavy-Also conversation heavy-Also plot heavy (But not in that way, unfortunately)-The pacing in terms of plot is slow -(Edit after a review)- This story is also known as: I honestly don't understand what's the difference between "light" and "dark" stories. I realized that far too late, so this story is... weird. It might be light at times, and dark at times, and in all honesty, definitely has dark undertones. Oh, and prepare to be disappointed or pleased by this story; I understand that this story is polarizing, at least. Cover made by: Fei (@Chippy03966650) / Twitter

Re: Pokemon Red
A young man is walking on his usual route from school back home while playing Pokemon Go when the driver of a truck loses control and run into the young man ending his life. But the young man awakens and finds he has been reincarnated, and as his favorite games protagonist Red. With the help of his vast knowledge of pokemon and a reincarnation system will he become a pokemon master or will he aim higher? The story will follow close to the games stories (as best as i remember some of them) however there will be some slight to severe alterations as the pokemon world lacks a bit of common sence that would apply to anyworld. As the story goes on regions will change and new pokemon exclusive to those regions will appear like the game. ------------- Hey everyone this is my first novel and a random idea that came to me while i was reading a reincarnation novel here on RR and i was playing a pokemon game on the side and it kinda came to me. l will have polls occasionally to see how people want things to go down or what possible direction to go. Now a couple warnings the first being grammer. I'm not the best at gramer so if bad grammer triggers you in some way its best to just not bother. Second warning and most important is that this is a more mature take on pokemon. Seriously if you grew up with pokemon like me you probably would like some mature pokemon story. So there will be profanity here in there. Not going to see people cursing up a storm except maybe one of the teams. Especialy team skull they got the whole sterotype going. Gore.... honostly not sure if im going to have detailed pokemon death or just have the normal fainting and any death will be in the background or be hinted at. There will be sexual content but im going to have those in side chapters so people who don't care for them can just skip them.

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
