Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world-Chapter 428: Annihilation of a Noble House [4]

Brandon lay flat on his back in the middle of the wide bed, staring at the ceiling.

He wasn’t really seeing the ceiling.

His mind kept replaying fragments from his dream... the white butterflies, Charlotte’s lifeless eyes staring up at him, and the hole in her chest.

Meanwhile, Charlotte moved quietly across the room to the small built-in refrigerator tucked beside the dresser.

She opened it as the soft light spilled across her bare legs and the hem of the oversized black T-shirt.

Underneath, she wore only black panties with the shirt hung loose on her frame, ending mid-thigh, and the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

She pulled out a chilled bottle of orange juice and twisted off the cap before walking back to the bed.

She sat on the edge beside him.

"Here," she said gently, holding the bottle out.

Brandon turned his head toward her and pushed himself up on one elbow before taking the bottle from her fingers and drinking deeply.

He swallowed, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and set the bottle on the nightstand with a quiet clink.

Charlotte’s expression softened further, and she shifted closer, tucking her knees under her until she could lean over him.

She cupped his face with both hands now, stroking her thumbs in slow arcs under his eyes.

"You came to see me because you were worried about me, weren’t you?"

His eyes widened in surprise. EH?

With a chuckle, she spoke "Big Sis called me earlier and told me about the dream you had, and you were worried about me."

Yellow and blue energies glistened in her green eyes as her gaze grew gentle "My cute little brother worried about me."

With a sigh, Brandon replied "Obviously, I will be worried about you."

She gently pecked his lips "I know; that’s why I love you..."

As she spoke, she kissed him again and he sucked on her lower lip, then released it with a soft pop before diving back in.

His lips trailed down to her neck and he kissed there once, twice, then sucked lightly,.

Charlotte’s head tipped back slightly, giving him more room.

A soft sigh escaped her lips "Kael... not now..."

"Just a little," he murmured against her throat.

His hands slid to the hem of her t-shirt, brushing the bare skin of her stomach, and then slowly pushed the fabric upward.

The shirt rose, revealing the smooth curve of her under-breast, then higher still until the full swell of her breasts came into view, cradled in the simple black bra she wore.

The neckline dipped low enough that the tops of her breasts were already exposed, and he pulled the shirt higher, bunching it just under her chin.

He leaned down again as his nose brushed the soft valley between her breasts, inhaling the clean, warm scent of her skin.

He moved higher, kissing the plump upper swell of her breast, just above the edge of the bra cup.

His lips sealed over the skin and sucked it gently, laving the spot until the flesh darkened beneath his mouth.

He pulled back just enough to admire the fresh hickey before pressing one more kiss to it.

"Ha..."

Charlotte softly rubbed the hickey and let out a chuckle "No need to worry..."

Looking into her eyes, he gave a nod "Mhm."

A few hours later-

Two sleek, ether-propelled air jets sliced through the upper atmosphere at hypersonic speeds.

Inside the lead jet, the cabin was quiet except for the low hum of the reactors and the soft rush of air against the reinforced fuselage.

Brandon sat in one of the forward-facing seats near the curved window, staring out at the endless sea of clouds below.

"Slovakia... huh," he muttered, mostly to himself.

Charlotte was sitting beside him with her eyes fixed on the hologram floating between their seats.

The display showed a 3D map of Central Europe with a red marker pulsing over a remote forested area in the Tatra Mountains.

"Yeah. But Maevrith might have already escaped from there too."

Brandon turned his head just enough to look at her.

"Because she knows we captured her people. And she knows we’ll get the information eventually and reach her."

He rubbed his forehead with a sigh "Then we’ll have to track her again."

"I just... I want it done."

He can’t always live in fear that people dear to him might be kidnapped at any time.

Charlotte looked at him out of the corner of her eye and saw the exhaustion in his face.

---

Soon they reached the target zone.

The two ether-propelled jets broke through the low cloud layer above the Tatra Mountains.

The lead jet banked sharply as it descended to a low hover over a narrow clearing ringed by dense pine forest.

The rear hatches hissed open.

Charlotte stood up first, her black coat billowing in the sudden rush of freezing air, and glanced back at Brandon.

"Ready?"

He nodded faintly "Ready."

She gave him a small smile and then stepped to the edge before jumping down.

Brandon followed a moment later and jumped after her.

*WOOOSHH*

The cold hit like a slap, and the snowflakes stung his face as he plummeted.

Below, the clearing rushed up with a snow-covered ground, a low concrete bunker half-buried in the hillside, and faint lights flickering in narrow slit windows.

As they were falling, Charlotte glanced at him and smiled. "Need help?" she asked, since he couldn’t fly yet.

With a shake of his head, he laughed "Nah, I got this."

As the ground closed in, Charlotte flew and landed safely.

Blue ether discs appeared around Brandon, and he stepped on them, hopping from one to another before landing on the last ether disc.

The ether disc floated down, and he stepped down from it, landing on the snow.

Charlotte was impressed and ruffled the snow out of his hair "That was so cool."

Behind them, the second jet disgorged Charlotte’s team as ten black-clad operatives dropped in tight formation, their parachutes blooming above them.

They landed in a perfect semicircle around the bunker entrance, moving to secure the perimeter without a word.

However, before they could move further, the front door of the bunker opened, and a woman stepped out into the snow.

Seeing her, Charlotte’s gaze narrowed faintly "...Maevrith."
