It was as though Seth’s brain short circuited at that brief moment, his nonchalant composure which he was sure he could keep regardless of any circumstances crumbled.

A rush of heat flowed towards his nether regions.

Seth snapped out of it immediately, he grabbed Kylie by the shoulder pushing forward gently, getting her out of his personal space.

At the same time his quickly concentrated, reversing his flow of blood to normal...

Elder Ron squinted at the sight, glancing from Seth to his granddaughter a thought slowly budded in his mind he smiled.

As an old player of the game himself, how could he not decipher the situation?

He glanced at Seth’s weird expression as he lad quickly tried to rearrange his composure, then to his granddaughters face filled with curiosity and interest.

Though her interest was directed the wrong way, he’d take it nonetheless.

One had to realize this was the first time he was seeing Kylie showing interest to the opposite sex.

He had already began to fear he had a asexual descent on his hands, but it seemed there was still a chance.

’these two... under the right circumstances and we can manufacture a bond.’ the elders eyes flashed.

Naturally he had made his research on Seth after their last brief encounter at the paragon.

Seth Duskreaver, the potential leader figure of Apex, possibly the strongest of the current generation of humans.

He had the background, though somewhat unstable, the elder felt it was enough adding with his feats that proved him to be a monster among geniuses.

Who else could be a better fit for his granddaughter?

The old man mind slowly formulated plans, a smile creeping on his lips as he observed the two.

"Ahem!" Seth feigned a cough regaining composure, he spoke feigning harshness leaving her questions unanswered.

"I also have questions for you, young missy, but you don’t see me all over you, now do you?"

Kylie blinked, tilting her head ever so slightly sideways, her voice rang striking a string in Seth’s heart once more, "I wouldn’t mind!"

Seth choked on his next words.

And Elder Ron on the side almost yelled, "atta girl!" His eyes glowed with pride flashing a thumbs up.

Never in his life had he ever been so proud of his granddaughter.

Slowly rooting at the side he remained a silent spectator, he felt of he spoke or made his presence known any further he might disrupt the chemistry brewing.

Kylie walked forward once more, as Seth remained speechless, she grabbed his arm examining them, whole once more Seth went stiff.

This time he was the one on the receiving end of being paralysed by the other party’s presence not by might but by the sheer allure.

His heart palpilated, as she ran her fingers down his fore arms, her eyes glistening beyond curiosity, her gen skill had activated.

Being shorter by the 1.86 meter man Seth had become, she had to look up at him to stare into his eyes she spoke. "Your human but different."

Seth’s pupils constricted as her words hit a spot, this girl...

His expression became more stren for a second, she was able to decipher the fact that he was a bronze human with a touch, even though she didn’t pinpoint the fact directly she still had a vague understanding... how?

His eyes flashed, ’this girl isn’t simple.’

He subconsciously tried to pull his arms away, but her grip remained tight pulling it right back.

Any logical mind witnessing this sight, could realize that there was no way for Kylie, to overpowered a powerhouse like Seth, so for this to happen it meant he allowed it... 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Elder Ron smiled he took this as his que, something’s had to be cultivated in private or so he believed, "Ah oh my what’s this? I have an appointment I have to go, little monster do well to treat my guest well."

With that said he oacked up his notes and prepared to leave.

Seth head swung his way, "ah but I was here to see you! Don’t leave yet!"

The elder shook his head not even glancing Seth way, his tone reassuring, "whatever you need my help for kid, my granddaughter can do it and some more, she is more accomplished than me that I assure you, your in good hands."

With that he waved as he left towards the titanium alloy doors, scanning his pass card he walked away.

Seth’s mouth opened and closed few times, he was left speechless, that old coot just left him like that?

He turned, only to meet a pair of unresistable eyes staring back at him.

Kylie finally composed herself stepping backwards she let his hands go free, her rested her hands on her chest, "I am Kylie Hart."

Seth blinked, lost for a few seconds in her mesmerizing gaze before realizing... it seemed they were introducing themselves.

Subconsciously he blurted out his name, "Seth Duskreaver, that’s my name I mean."

Seth almost face palmed as he stumbled with his words, he couldn’t just understand, he had never reacted this way before.

This wasn’t his first encounter with beauties, he prided himself if anything he had a great composure.

Except during situation of visceral danger, he was certain he could keep his cool regardless of the situation but this, this was out of his control.

It was as if this lady Kylie Hart was it? It was as though she was the bane of his existence.

Every subtle shifts in her gait, the way she tucked her vermilion locks behind her ears, her entrancing eyes, everything about her seemed to lull him deep in the mire of her charm.

How did his emotions shift from intrigue to this mess? Was beyond him, but one thing was clear, deep down it seemed he was enjoying this?

Unknown to Seth he wasn’t the only one with such sentiments.

Kylie couldn’t understand the unnatural pull she felt towards Seth.

Was it pheromones? Was her adolescence hormones acting up?

She didn’t know, as much as she was untrested in Seth as a lady of science.

It seemed her interest ran deeper...

This was ironic how many times had she debunked love at first sight?

How many times had she debunked love as a whole?

’no no it’s to early to be sure.’ she shook her head internally denying the thought.

...

Seth finally calmed, putting his thoughts in order, her asked, pointing at her bracelet, "did you create that?"
