Chapter 22 - 2.13

"Now, tell me honestly what you think about the way the presidential families all over the world treat the people." Mason asked seriously. Kailey's answer to this question would determine how much he could reveal to her, and what his next actions would be. It was crucial to get an honest answer.

To Lea's irritation Mason removed his finger from her lips. She should've licked it when she had the chance. Now that delicious looking finger was out of her reach! But she should focus on the question Mason had just asked. Why did he have to ask something so boring? She wasn't in the mood to discuss politics at all, and it wasn't like she could answer it honestly with those stupid laws in place. "The presidential families have made criminality a thing of the past. We should be grateful to them for improving our lives."

"Is that really what you think?" Mason looked at Kailey's annoyed face. It seemed she didn't like the question he had asked. He wasn't sure if it was because she honestly supported the presidential families, or because he put her on the spot and she didn't want to break any law.

'No, of course I don't think that. They are awful. I have been suffering every moment I came to this world,' Lea thought. "What do you care?" she answered instead while glaring at Mason. She didn't want to punish herself again, and if he continued this line of questioning she would surely do something worse to herself than being prohibited to sleep or eat.

"I care because I want to bring them down," Mason said honestly. "And I want you to help me with that."

"I can't help you." How could she? Her body was trained to obey every rule the presidential families implemented. Lea couldn't go against them even if she wanted to.

Mason sighed. It seemed he couldn't get answers out of Lea without telling her what he just did. "You can. Haven't you stopped screaming? I've made sure you don't have to follow the rules and laws anymore."

Lea's eyes widened. Those glasses… Were they by any chance the device the Criminals had created to undermine the hypnotization and indoctrination program? But, how is that possible? According to the plot the revolution shouldn't take place in another five years. How come they have created this technology already?

"I don't believe you," Lea lied. Kailey King wouldn't give in so easily. She would deny the criminal's words because she was an upstanding citizen except for her reluctance to consume her marriage with Liam. So, Lea couldn't just happily go along with Mason. She had to make it seem believable that she was Kailey King. Dwyl was already angry enough at her. If she also went OOC who knew how it would torture her? She shuddered at the thought. Dwyl was already willful enough, he didn't need another reason.

Mason looked closely at Kailey's expressions. The widening from her eyes didn't only seem to indicate surprise, but also something else like… realization, maybe? It looked like she had understood his words immediately, something Mason hadn't expected, but then Kailey suddenly said she didn't believe him. Mason felt like she wasn't being truthful. Was she hiding something? Was she really a spy sent by William Wright? If she was a spy, than based on her reaction it seemed like the presidential family knows more than they let on. Did they now about their organization's existence? That wouldn't be good.

"You don't? Really?" Mason asked skeptically.

"Criminals are known liars. You're even pretending to be a butler."

"I can't say that I've never lied before, but at this moment I'm telling the truth. And it's not like I'm pretending to be a butler. I fulfill my duties perfectly, it is just that while doing this job I'm also doing another."

"You consider betraying the world and the country as a job?" Lea had thought Mason would consider it more like a calling or something. It seems so wrong to consider doing good as a job. That is something that should come from the heart!

"First of all, I'm not betraying the world. I am saving it! It is something I have to do." Mason said passionately. It frustrated him that Kailey would even think such a thing. He really needed to do something about her ignorance.

Lea was happy with Mason's reaction. This was how it should be. This is the fire that should burn inside every protagonist concerning their goal in life. That is the passion that fuels their life! So beautiful to see in real life. It really enhances Mason's appearance. How good must it be to kiss him when he is so riled up! Lea betted he would use tongue, unlike Liam's boring pecks.

Lea swallowed. She was really ho*ny right now. "Saving it?"

"Yes," Mason nodded solemnly. "Right now, the people don't have any freedom to decide over their lives. Just look at your own life! They forced you to marry someone you don't even know." That fact still bothered Mason more than it should. "And in the meantime the elite get to do everything they want, while abusing the people for their own gain. It's not right. Don't you think so?" Mason almost begged Kailey. He really needed her to agree with him, because otherwise he didn't know what to do.

Mason's serious looking eyes had a great effect on Lea. His eyes seemed to look straight into her soul. That look made her heart beat even faster than it did before. Why were her hands tied? Lea wanted to put her arms around his neck and push him closer so she could kiss him.

"You… you're maybe…," she swallowed. It cost her so much effort to speak right now! The ho**iness inside her body made it difficult for her brain to function, and she was still fearful of saying something against the law out loud. The punishments were already bad enough just thinking about it, the consequences saying it out loud were unimaginable to her. But if what Mason said was true and she was free of the hypnotization and indoctrination, then she had to try. "Maybe you… are… right?"

Lea held her breath, waiting for her body to cut off her air supply or something, but nothing happened.

Mason's heart sped up hearing this reply from Kailey. A big smile slowly spread across his face, and Mason couldn't help but put his arms around Kailey and hug her. This was good! He only needed a bit more to confirm that the prototype really worked as it should and Kailey wasn't interpreting his words in any other way. "Can you tell me what precisely I'm right about?"

Lea's mind was in the clouds, and her eyes were glazing over. Mason's strong and warm arms were wrapped around her body! Lea felt hot all over, and she could hear her own heartbeat. Or was it Mason's? She wasn't sure. She just heard some very loud bumping, and felt it against her chest.

She felt like melting. Lea's face was pressed against Mason's neck, and she could smell his intoxicating body odor. It was really hard to resist biting into his neck. It looked so tasty!

"Kailey? Please, tell me what I'm right about," Mason repeated.

He was breathing against Lea's skin, which send shivers down her spine. His sexy voice reverberated through her entire body. 'Damn! What is this feeling?' Lea wondered. 'It's nothing like I ever felt before.'

"Kailey?" Mason started to get worried. Kailey didn't answer his question, and he felt her shaking inside his arms. He slowly pushed her away a bit so he could observe her better, and when he looked at her face he was shaken to the core. She looked so... lewd. Her face was a seductive red, her nicely shaped, pinkish mouth was slightly open with a bit of drool coming out of it, and she was breathing small puffs of air. How did she become like this?

He put his hand on her forehead, but although she was warm, he didn't think it was really a fever. Was this maybe a side-effect from the prototype? Not good, not good at all. Mason had fantasized about her yesterday, and now Kailey was showing him this appearance? He already felt his groin slowly stirring. He feared he wouldn't be able to control himself.

"Mason," Lea whispered weakly. "I want to… lick." Lea didn't wait for the green light, her mind was too far gone, and she had already waited for ages. She leaned in closer to Mason, stuck out her tongue and licked Mason's neck. His skin tasted nice and salty, enticing her to taste more. She started nibbling and sucking. It was so satisfying! She couldn't get enough of it.

Mason hadn't expected Lea to suddenly speak in such an erotic voice, and even say such a daring thing! Not only saying it, but even doing it! Her soft tongue caressed his neck, and he could barely hold onto his reasoning. His lower part was already completely hard. When Lea started using her teeth to gently bite him, her lips to caress those places and her tongue to teasingly suck his skin, Mason finally lost it.
