New World with Four Husbands-Chapter 551: Begone, bad thoughts!

"Coco?" Alhai called gently, his hands fondling Coco’s waist and slowly slid them down to her hips.

"Hm?" Coco hummed, her eyelids fluttering open.

"Are you sleepy?" The mediator asked, his right hand sliding up on her spine to cradle the back of Coco’s head. "Do you want me to read you a book? I heard it helps to lull people to sleep?"

Coco thought about it. Sure, she almost fell asleep on top of Alhai, but that’s only because he was warm.

The voices in her head slowly became silent once she found a comfortable spot on top of him and couldn’t help, but let herself relax, almost falling asleep in the process.

She thought about it, long and hard, before she shook her head.

"I’m fine." Coco mumbled, pressing her cheek against Alhai’s chest and closed her eyes. "I’m waiting for Heiren and others.. I want to hug them, too."

Alhai raised an eyebrow and couldn’t stop the corner of his lips from curling up.

Others.. Does she mean that she wanted to hug Kairo, too? Are their decisions to add Kairo as one of her husbands the right decision to make because she wanted it as well?

Alhai was feeling a little doubtful about Heiren’s proposal to add Kairo as one of them when he first brought it up, but gradually, Kairo had started crawling his way up to his heart and now, he’s completely fine with Kairo being one of them.

Though, he still doesn’t want Kairo to become alone with Coco.

It would be unfair if he was the next one to be inside of Coco before Zaque, Heiren, and Quizen, right? Alhai thought, his hand moving up and down of Coco’s head.

He was trying to console his wife while thinking, but it was a little difficult due to how Coco kept shifting above him.

As Alhai brought a hand down to her nape, Coco shifted again.

Alhai had to bite back a groan because Coco’s position managed to hit the mediator’s groin, but it wasn’t painful— rather, it was kind of pleasurable because it was right between her thighs.

Soft.. Alhai thought, shutting his eyes tight to fight off the arousal that desperately wants to go down to his nether regions.

He felt bad for almost becoming aroused when Coco’s down in the slump like this.

Stop thinking about other things! Focus on Coco and get your head out of your pants! Alhai scolded himself, gritting his teeth together and inhaling sharply.

Truly, it was hard to keep one’s composure when their spouse and the person they love is being endearing.

"Alhai.. Can I have something to drink?" Coco mumbled, her voice barely past a whisper.

If it weren’t for Alhai doing his best to be as attentive as he could, he would not be able to catch what she just said due to how quiet her voice was.

"Of course, of course." Alhai said, sitting up slowly and chuckling nervously.

The mediator flipped Coco onto her back and scrambled to get off the bed, his hand quickly reaching out to the magical flask that was sitting on the table.

"Here." Alhai uttered and opened the cap of the flask, mustering a smile. "It’s hot cocoa. Would you like me to pour it on the mug?"

Coco barely turned her head to look at Alhai, her eyes landing on the steaming opening of the flask, and nodded her head before turning her attention back to the ceiling of her room.

"Just a little, please." Coco mumbled, pursing her lips as she tried to get rid of the heavy feeling on her chest by shaking her head. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Alhai raised an eyebrow, unsure if she really wanted the drink or not.

"Okay.." Alhai stated and slowly trailed off as he tilted the flask, pouring the hot cocoa over to the red mug that was obviously owned by Zaque.

The scent of the chocolatey drink wafted in the air and reached Coco’s nostrils, making her turn her head to look at Alhai and stare at the steaming drink he was holding out to her.

"Here." The mediator smiled softly, tilting his head. "Drink this, then have a couple of bites of these pastries."

Coco sat up on the bed and heaved out a sigh, her eyes locked onto the mug. "Thank you."

Alhai hummed and handed the mug onto Coco carefully, making sure that she have a firm hold onto it before letting go. "You’re welcome, wife."

Coco paused at the last word of Alhai’s sentence, her eyebrows furrowing.

Is she really worth being called that loving title if she was just someone who stole their wife’s roughed up body when she died?

No, Coco. She scolded herself and shook her head, taking a sip from the cocoa.

Don’t ever think that way again and possibly destroy your relationship with them. She mused firmly in her mind, her grip on the mug tightening as she frowned.

The resurfacing memory of her mother caused her anxiety to spike up and it’s affecting her usual confidence.

Unbeknownst to Coco, while she was troubled, the mediator standing by the side of the bed was staring directly at her lips that was looking quite plump and glossy after taking a sip from her drink.

Alhai swallowed the lump that was slowly forming in his throat and quickly averted his gaze.

Stop.. Stop! Stop thinking about the things you want to do with those delicious, plump, shining, gorgeous lips of hers.. The mediator’s thoughts slowly stray off and felt his shoulders sagging slowly, his eyes became hazy with desire.

Coco groaned when she accidentally took a large sip and burned her tongue, the sound snapping Alhai out of his thoughts and made him gasped in disbelief, his eyes widening as shame creep in.

Seriously, Alhai? You were never this lustful before! You barely had any sexual desire for anyone! The mediator groaned and buried his warm face on his hands.

Begone, bad thoughts! Begone!
