The Lust Lord Librarian-Chapter 16: A Kiss

To Adal’s great surprise, it did not take a full week for Leonard Everstone to return to him, but rather a day.

The man had his daughter with him once again, both of them dressed in matching white suits and dresses lined with gold stitching. Far more expensive than anything Adal could afford.

From the smile on the man’s face, Adal knew.

I have won.

They met him by the counter, where Adal was reading a story of his own in the quiet.

"Mister Alexandrus, it really is a pleasure to see you again."

The way that the man greeted and addressed Adal was much different from before.

There was respect in his tone now. Even a hint of... Admiration?

"It’s a pleasure to see you too, sir, and of course your daughter."

Adal nodded towards Juliette and smiled. She blushed, became nervous and smiled cutely.

The fact that Adal had greeted his daughter seemed to cheer Leonard up even more.

It was as though the man had forgotten she was married.

"Look, I’m not going to waste your time Librarian. I know you must be a busy person, so I’ll get straight to the point. Your writing is fucking marvellous!"

The man’s voice roared, disturbing the readers of the library.

They shot glances of annoyance towards him, but he didn’t care.

Adal smiled humbly.

"It is an honour. How far into the story are you?"

"That’s the thing. I’m only a few Chapters in, and yet I resonate with the story so deeply!"

Yes, I knew you would.

The Karamazov Siblings is a story deeply rooted in struggling with faith. An issue that I know you have been dealing with yourself, due to your scandal at the Mother’s Temple years ago.

Adal thanked his perfect memory for being able to recall the newspaper he had read back then.

"I never knew that fictional tales could be so compelling. If I introduce this novel to some of my colleagues, your name will spread throughout the Torn Kingdom like wildfire. Hell, it could travel even further. Even the elves and dwarves might be able to learn from this!"

Ah, elves and dwarves. I am not quite sure.

The human race was extremely isolated compared to the other races, so Adal had never interacted with anyone else. However, he was well-read on all the known races.

He wondered whether his novels could truly touch even them.

"Thank you, sir. I have yet to mass-produce copies of the novel, as it is quite an expensive process, once I can, I will start distributing them immediately."

The shot had been fired.

Leonard waved a hand dismissively.

"Do not worry about funding. Just tell me what you need and I will provide the coin."

The shot had hit.

Adal tried his best not to show his pride.

Juliette on the other hand couldn’t contain it. She cheered silently to herself, as if she too had earned something.

Adal bowed his head towards his new investor.

"Thank you, Mister Everstone. With just fifty notes, I think I could produce a hundred cheap copies of the story."

Leonard clicked his fingers and winked at the librarian.

"Then I’ll send you one-hundred, so that you can have them bound at the highest quality. If I am to lend them to my colleagues, I would not only want you to impress them with the book’s contents, but also its appearance."

Perfect.

Adal bowed again, but deeper this time.

"Thank you so much." He expressed with gratitude.

The older man placed a hand on his shoulder, showing him great respect.

"You will become a great man, Mister Alexandrus. I can tell." Leonard spoke.

"Please sir, call me Adal."

And with that, Leonard said his goodbyes and left the library.

However, it was Juliette who lingered behind.

She wore a smile on her pretty face, as she brushed a strand of brown hair behind her ears cutely.

Juliette looked up at Adal, expectantly.

It made sense, after all, she had been a large reason why this had all happened.

Adal let out a chuckle, as he bowed his head to her too, but only slightly.

"Thank you, Lady Pearlington. You have been of great help." He said truthfully. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

But when he didn’t hear a response, he looked up, only to find her arms crossed defiantly.

Adal raised a brow at her. Had he said something wrong?

"A kiss." Was all she said.

Adal continued looking at her with confusion.

She puffed up her cheeks and pointed a finger at her pouted lips.

"A kiss. That’s what I want in return for helping you."

"..."

This woman truly is amusing. Asking for a kiss when you have a rich husband at home.

Though by the looks of your sexual partner history, you are still a virgin. Has John not fucked you yet?

Adal shrugged his shoulders. He wasn’t about to turn down such a request.

Without second thought, he leaned in, taking the lady by surprise.

Adal cupped the side of her delicate jaw with one steady hand, tilting her face exactly where he wanted it, and sealed his mouth over hers

His tongue slipped past her lips, stroking against hers.

Juliette made a small, startled sound in his mouth, and her hands flew up to clutch the front of his shirt as though she might fall if she didn’t hold on.

Adal’s free hand slid low, curving over the small of her back before dropping straight to her ass.

He grabbed the soft flesh firmly, earning himself another whimper from the married woman as his fingers dug into her cushions, toying with her over her dress.

He dropped his second hand next and groped more aggressively. If she were not wearing a dress, her cheeks would have been spread, and all of her most erotic zones would have been exposed to the library.

Luckily, no one was watching, and the kiss only lasted a few seconds.

Adal pulled away from the kiss. Juliette’s soft tongue hung out of her mouth for only a moment, as though wanting more. Her eyes seemed dazed, rolled up slightly into her head.

Right afterwards, she blushed brightly, wiped her lips, and smoothed out her dress from where it had been rustled.

A voice called out to her from outside the library, urging her to hurry up. Her father.

She looked at Adal with embrassment, then bowed her head.

"Goodbye, Adal."

Adal smiled at her cheekily.

"Goodbye, Lady Pearlington."

And with that, he watched her hips sway as she walked out the door.

Before she left, he managed to take one glance at her Lustful Thoughts.

"Why... Why is this man able to make me wet, when my husband cannot even put butterflies in my stomach? Why do I find myself wanting him so deeply?"
