Reincarnated as a step-dad in a fantasy world

Chapter 244 : That’s it?!

Alex immediately took a fighting stance, his expression shifting from carefree to utterly serious in the blink of an eye.

The first thing he thought was that the boss monster had somehow survived the explosion and hidden in the treasure room, but he quickly dismissed the idea. If that were the case, the treasure room door wouldn't have appeared in the first place.

Granted, he had come to realize as they traveled through this dungeon that something wasn't quite right; this dungeon was different from how the usual dungeons were depicted in the books he had read as a child.

Alex didn't know what was going on right now and who this person emerging from the treasure room was, but he was prepared nonetheless to defend himself and his sister if need be.

However, as the person on the other side of the door came fully into view, Alex was stunned to see who it was.

"Maya?!" Alex exclaimed, his body relaxing. "What are you doing here? And why are you..." Alex's words trailed off as he fully took in Maya's attire.

Before Alex, Maya stood, her damp body wrapped in a clinging white towel. Her ample bosom, larger than average, was barely contained by the fabric, creating an enticing display of cleavage. The towel hugged her curves, accentuating her hourglass figure as she ran her fingers through her wet hair, beads of water trickling down her neck and between her full breasts. Her skin glowed with a fresh, post-shower radiance, and her eyes sparkled with a captivating allure.

Alex felt a sudden stirring in his pants. His manhood began to swell, pressing insistently against the confines of his pants. A wave of desire washed over him as his eyes observed Maya's body.

'What beautiful breasts,' Alex gulped in desire.

He had remarked it the first time he met Maya, but that girl definitely had beautiful tits. They appeared to be firm yet soft at the same time, inviting his gaze as they strained against the thin fabric of her towel. Her nipples, barely visible through the material, seemed to beckon him, sending a jolt of arousal through his body. He couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to run his hands over her supple curves, to feel the weight of her breasts in his palms as he explored every inch of her enticing form.

'Get a hold of yourself, fool!' Alex scolded himself, feeling his lust beginning to affect him.

He didn't want to think sexually about Maya. The reason for that was that she was almost the same age as his daughters and, more than that, she greatly resembled his daughter Scarlett, both in terms of body and intelligence.

Although he had decided that he would pursue his mother, aunt, and grandmother, Alex didn't extend his lust to his daughters. They were the last line that he had vowed never to cross, not only because of Lilia's warning but also because he didn't want to fall into such depravity.

Although Maya wasn't his daughter, Alex felt that if he allowed himself to fantasize about her body, it wouldn't be long before he fantasized about his own daughters, and that was something he couldn't allow himself to do!

Hearing his voice, Maya shrieked in fear, stumbled, and fell backward. As she did so, the towel that was covering her body flew off, and she fell on her back, her legs spread out in front of Alex.

Alex's eyes widened as he took in the sight of Maya's naked body, her full breasts exposed to his view, her legs spread open, showing off her bare, smooth, and inviting pussy.

No matter how much Alex tried to control himself, at that moment, his dick hardened, and a bump appeared in his pants. A lustful expression appeared on his face, and at that moment, he felt the urge to claim Maya and make her his own.

'Goddammit, I look like a teenager, getting hard at the sight of a pussy,' Alex shook his head, feeling a bit disappointed in himself.

However, he knew that it wasn't entirely his fault. It had been many days since he last had sex, and the consequence of that was that, just like what happened that one time with Grace, he felt his lust getting control of him. 

'Calm down. I'm the carrier of the lust sin, I'm supposed to control it, not the other way around,' Alex told himself. He managed to douse his arousal, his dick turning flaccid once again before Maya could see the tent in his pants.

Maya cried out in panic upon realizing she was naked. Scrambling to her feet, she bent down to pick up her fallen towel, her enticing curves now fully on display for Alex.

'If I didn't know better, I would think she's trying to seduce me,' Alex sighed, forcing himself to avert his eyes from the tempting sight.

Maya swiftly wrapped the towel around her body and turned to look at Alex, her face flushed a deep crimson from embarrassment.

"I'm s-sorry, I-I..." Maya's words trailed off, feeling too embarrassed to even form a sentence.

Seeing Alex suddenly appear before her had scared her, and because of that, she tripped, and now he had seen her in her birthday suit. It was simply her most embarrassing day. If she could, she would probably dig a hole to hide from him!

Seeing Maya's state, Alex decided to help her out by asking, "What were you doing here?"

"Oh, umm, well, after that sudden explosion, the door of the boss's chamber opened, and since I was worried about you guys, I rushed in to see how you were doing," Maya said, the blush on her face disappearing the more she spoke.

Maya sighed and continued, "Seeing that you guys were safe, I decided to wait until you woke up. However, hours passed and you didn't wake up, and I ultimately got bored. It was at that moment that I noticed the treasure room. My curiosity got the better of me, and I entered it. Sorry."

Alex squinted his eyes at her and inquired, "Did you take anything inside?"

"There's nothing inside to take anyway," Maya mumbled.

"What did you say just now?" Alex asked, his voice sharp.

"Nothing, nothing, you'll see for yourself. Anyway, to answer your question, no, I didn't take anything inside."

Alex didn't say anything and just continued to stare at her with squinted eyes, making Maya feel uncomfortable.

"I didn't take anything, I'm not a thief!" Maya exclaimed indignantly.

"Need I remind you that the motto of your family is 'the only thing that matters is profit'? I wouldn't be surprised if you, the heir of such a family, are adept at deceiving people," Alex said, his tone teasing.

"Who are you calling a deceiver?! I have been nothing but sincere with you guys the whole time!" Maya cried out, her orange eyes blazing with an intense color as she wondered how Alex could even doubt her.

Unbeknownst to her, Alex never doubted her. He had traveled and spent enough time with the young heiress to know that she wasn't a thief. In fact, she could only be said to be a sweetheart. It was just that he liked to tease her and observe her reactions.

'She looks like a cat whose tail has been stepped on by someone. Cute,' Alex thought inwardly.

"Now, now, calm down, Maya. He's just teasing you," a sudden voice sounded behind Alex.

"Why do you always have to ruin my fun?" Alex sighed as he heard his sister.

"Hehe," Amelia laughed and wrapped her arms around her brother's chest. She lightly kissed the back of his neck and whispered seductively in his ear, "Sorry, sorry. You aren't mad at me, right?"

"How could I ever be mad at you?" Alex smiled, turned his head, and planted a quick kiss on Amelia's lips. "How are you feeling?"

"Exhausted," Amelia sighed. She peeked out from behind Alex's shoulder and waved at Maya. She was about to ask her how she was doing when her eyes landed on Maya's towel-clad figure.

"What are you doing in a towel?" Amelia asked, a puzzled expression on her face.

"You'll understand later," Maya replied with a mysterious grin.

"Won't you—"

"Wait," Alex interrupted, cutting off Amelia. "We can continue that chit-chat later, after we've checked out the treasure room."

With that, Alex strode to the treasure room door, with Amelia and Maya following close behind, and stepped inside.

Seconds later, a disappointed shout echoed from the treasure room, "That's it?!!"
