Star Hedonist-Chapter 21: Celebration Time

"Mhmm..."

Clara lets out a soft, sweet moan as she nuzzles her nose against the chest of the white-haired man.

"Your scent is so good~"

She is lying on top of him in bed, a radiant glow on her face. In fact, her entire body seems to be shining with bliss.

She takes a deep breath, sniffing him and then the air, like a curious little puppy searching for a scent.

"Damn, I can smell everything so clearly now..."

She looks around at her messy room and frowns.

"My room smells like dust and old books!"

She turns back to him, focusing on his face.

"I can also see so much better now... and your face is so perfect. Every little detail, every tiny speck..."

She stretches up, bringing her lips toward his with those big, pleading blue eyes.

He gives her what she wants—a kiss.

Clara melts into it, savoring it until their lips part, leaving a thin, glistening string of saliva between them.

Her eyes sparkle even more as she stares at him with an expression of lust and excitement.

"Your taste... I can feel it so clearly."

She gives him a curious look.

"Do you feel like this all the time? It's so good... I feel so... powerful! So fucking good!!"

He gently caresses her face, tilting her chin up to bring her lips back to his for more kisses.

"I feel so good inside you." His words are becoming more natural, his voice steady.

And as he speaks, his free hand runs along Clara's curves, sliding his fingertips under her clean panties.

Her smile turns more mischievous, her cheeks darkening with another blush, but she holds his hand.

"You already want more of it?" she asks playfully.

"We did it three times in a row! I need a break, haha~"

He pulls his hand away from her panties but instead cups her bare breasts, kneading them gently while kissing her neck.

"I want you... Clara."

She giggles, letting him explore her body, enjoying his touch just as much as before.

"Oh my god~! You're going to drive me crazy."

"Crazy?" He repeats the word but still doesn't fully understand it.

"Yeah," Clara holds his face and makes him look at her.

Then, she rolls her eyes upward and shakes her head with an exaggeratedly wild expression. "Like this."

"Oh," he smirks teasingly at her. "You were crazy a while ago."

Clara's face turns even redder, and she averts her gaze.

"You made me like that... so that's your fault!"

Now, it's his turn to cup her face, making her look into his eyes before he smiles at her tenderly.

"You are so cute."

She beams at him and kisses his lips repeatedly.

"Thank you," she says in a tone full of affection and gratitude.

"You make me feel so good."

"I just want—"

Burrrr

Clara stops mid-sentence when a deep growl echoes from her stomach.

Her face turns bright red like a tomato, and she bursts into laughter. "Hungry! I think I'm hungry too, hehe~"

"Hungry?" He looks puzzled again.

She takes his finger and puts it into her mouth, first sucking on it and then playfully nibbling.

"Like this," she says with a teasing grin.

Then, she stops and looks at him with sudden curiosity.

"By the way, do you eat? I mean, like we do?"

"..."

He understands part of what she's asking, but he doesn't have a clear answer now.

Clara keeps staring at him with that curious expression.

"You were in that box for so long, and I never even offered you anything to eat, just that drink..."

"Now I feel bad. You might be starving, right?"

"But how could you go so long without eating..."

"That red liquid? Maybe that's what keeps you healthy."

Her expression shifts from curiosity to excitement as she glances at his muscular chest.

"And damn, you're so healthy!"

He smirks confidently at her, making her heart race.

"Don't look at me like that..."

She tries to avert her gaze, but every time he cups her face and strokes her chin with his fingers, she just wants to melt into him.

"I guess we're about to do it again, aren't we?"

He just smiles before capturing her lips in another kiss.

But Clara suddenly breaks the kiss and glances toward the bedroom door.

"Damn, I can hear footsteps in the hallway! And these walls are supposed to be soundproof."

He also glances at the door. He already knows who's on the other side—after all, he can even smell her scent.

Ding-ding

A soft chime echoes inside the room.

"Echo, who's at the door?" Clara asks out loud.

The AI's robotic voice answers instantly.

"First Navigation Officer, Jex."

"Oh, Jex?" Clara smiles warmly. "Open communication."

A blue light blinks on the device next to the door, and Clara speaks loudly from the bed.

"Jex? Everything okay?"

"Clara?" Jex's voice filters through the room, naturally curious.

"Is everything alright in there?"

Clara tries to suppress her flustered state and sound as normal as possible.

"Yeah, sure!"

"Sure?"

"Why not?"

"Hmm..." Jex sounds increasingly suspicious.

"Then why is the door locked?"

"I'm just finishing getting dressed," Clara answers quickly.

"..."

Jex goes silent for a few seconds before speaking again.

"The big guy is with you, isn't he?"

Clara glances at him and smiles lovingly.

"Yeah, Jex, he is."

"Hehe~" They both hear Jex giggle from the other side of the door.

Clara shakes her head.

"Jex, did you need something?"

"Oh, I just came to get you and him, of course, for lunch. Matteo and the others are preparing it."

Clara's smile brightens, and her stomach rumbles even louder.

"Great! We'll be there in a second."

"Alright. See you in the kitchen," Jex says before ending the communication.

Clara and the white-haired man exchange looks. Neither of them heard Jex's footsteps anymore, which means she's still on the other side of the door.

What they don't see is Jex pressing her ear against the door with a very naughty grin on her face.

Clara chuckles and shakes her head again.

He doesn't care about Jex trying to peek on them. Instead, he seals Clara's lips with another deep, wet kiss.

They roll in the bed, Clara eagerly responding to his kisses, though she still tries to escape his arms—reluctantly.

"Let's eat something with the others first, and then..."

Her face flushes, but her eyes sparkle with anticipation, and her smile turns just as naughty.

"I'll let you eat whatever you want." She teases boldly.

He smirks lasciviously. "You."

"Hehe~" She giggles before hopping out of bed.

She doesn't say anything else but nods at him playfully.

He watches her as she gets dressed, completely captivated. He enjoys watching her undress even more, but Clara is beautiful in every way, so he simply admires her perfect curves and radiant smile.

Clara glances at him with each piece of clothing she puts on, as if checking his reactions.

"Hey, you need to get dressed too."

She grabs the clean set of clothes she had brought for him from the floor beside the bed and hands them to him.

He looks at the outfit—it's clearly pajamas.

"It was the best I could find," Clara says affectionately. "They're new and clean, don't worry."

He already knows that. After all, there's no trace of anyone else's scent on them. Someone must have bought them in a much larger size and never worn them.

He gets dressed quickly, and soon, they're both ready.

They wait only a minute—just long enough for Jex to finally give up trying to listen through the massive door. Then, they walk toward it.

Clara pauses before opening the door, casting him a warm smile.

"Big guy..."

She stands on her tiptoes and presses a soft, quick kiss to his lips.

"We should probably behave out there, okay?"

He somewhat understands her concern.

She seems a little guilty for even asking but still does. "It's just to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble right now."

Confusion flickers in her eyes, but they always soften into love when she looks at him.

She pokes his chest over his shirt. "Also, you haven't even asked me out or anything yet..."

He looks confused, and she smirks mischievously.

"I'm just messing with you. But either way, we don't have to rush to tell everyone, right?"

"And Himeko..." Clara can't quite hide the emotions flickering in her eyes.

The fear of the scolding she's going to get from Nyx.

But there's no hesitation or worry in the white-haired man's eyes.

He leans in and captures her lips.

That usual confident, dominant, and intoxicating kiss that drives Clara insane.

As soon as he pulls away, she gives him a loving smile, her lips slightly parted, making it clear how much she wants more.

He smirks at her, and she giggles.

"As if I could stop you from doing whatever you want..."

She quickly opens the door and steps out before she loses the will to do so.

He follows her through the corridors of Safira. They walk through the central area—the common hall—before heading down another hallway leading to a large open room spanning dozens of square meters.

The room is mainly divided into two sections by a large counter with a smooth, blue marble top.

On one side, a grand central dining table surrounded by large chairs, as well as smaller tables and sofas placed in the corners for more private meals.

On the other side of the counter, a fully equipped kitchen—large stoves, refrigerators, cabinets, and every cooking utensil imaginable, along with a pantry stocked with food and drinks.

Right now, the aftermath of the battle with the sand worm on Zhaaros is still visible, but the crew of Safira is hard at work cleaning up the kitchen.

Jimena and Louis are leading the cleanup of the common area with a few assistants, while Matteo is cooking with the help of another crew member.

Jex steps out of the pantry, carrying a bundle of fresh vegetables, and grins when she sees Clara and the handsome white-haired man.

"You guys got here fast!"

She greets them warmly, though there's a clear teasing glint in her eyes.

"I'm starving!"

Clara exclaims as she takes a deep breath, both she and the white-haired man savoring the delicious aroma of freshly cooked food filling the air.

"It smells so good!!"

Clara crosses the counter and approaches the stove, taking a peek at what Matteo is cooking—a thick, juicy steak sizzling in a heavy cast-iron pan.

"Is that Grovan meat?" Clara licks her lips.

The Grovan she's referring to is a large, quadrupedal herbivore known for its thick, armored hide and bioluminescent markings that shift color depending on mood and environment.

Grovans play a vital role in planetary ecosystems, prized for their nutrient-rich milk and uniquely adaptable digestive system that allows them to thrive on a variety of alien flora.

But more than anything—

Their meat is unbelievably tender, juicy, and delicious—even better than Earth's finest elite cattle.

Matteo nods at Clara while lifting one of the large steaks from the pan with a long fork, placing it onto a wooden cutting board on the counter.

"I kept a few steaks saved for a special occasion. It was supposed to be our reward after completing the mission, but..."

His expression softens as he glances between Clara and the mysterious white-haired man.

"I think you two need this after taking down that Vhorr'Ka alone."

Clara's grin widens even more as she eagerly grabs a fork and knife from under the counter, ready to attack the Grovan steak.

"I'm not gonna turn down such an offer!"

Under the envious stares of the rest of the crew, Clara cuts into the thick red steak, watching as its juices spill onto the cutting board.

Perfectly rare—just how she loves it.

She can't wait to bring that first bite to her mouth, chewing it quickly.

"Mmmm... fucking delicious!"

She beams before slicing another piece—but this time, she offers it to the white-haired man, stretching her arm across the counter.

"Here, for you~"

Her expression is so warm and full of affection as she offers him the bite with her own fork.

And he doesn't hesitate to accept it.

The meat is incredible—succulent, fragrant, melting effortlessly in his mouth.

The sweet scent of Clara's breath is an added bonus he thoroughly enjoys.

"Very good." He praises.

Hearing his deep voice is already a surprise to everyone in the room, but the crew doesn't know what's more shocking—

That—

Or the way Clara is already treating the mysterious stranger so affectionately.

And yet—

The happy couple remains completely oblivious to all the stunned stares, too busy enjoying their juicy steak together.
