Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: A Punch For You

The campus paths were bathed in the soft orange glow of evening lamps as Alex stepped out of the library, the cool air brushing against his skin like a gentle wake-up call after the heated hours in the hidden corner.

The sky had turned a deep twilight red.

The usual daytime bustle had thinned to scattered groups—students heading home after evening classes, some laughing in clusters on benches under the lamps, others walking alone with earbuds in, bags slung heavy over shoulders from long days of lectures and notes.

Alex walked aimlessly, hands in pockets, phone silent for now. He was trying to avoid the clingy cute Alice, as he was exhausted to handle her.

Instead, his mind replayed flashes of Erin's worshipful blue eyes and trembling plump body, the warmth of her skin still ghosting on his palms, and the memory of her broken moans echoing softly in his thoughts.

'It feels great, right! More to come, baby~' Liza fed more on his lustful thoughts. She purred lazily in his head. 'Fresh air after breeding your masochist girl— Darn, you're doing it so good.'

He ignored her with a soft smile, turning onto the main path lined with trees, leaves rustling softly overhead. He kept walking until he spotted a familiar figure.

That's when he spotted her.

Lily sat alone on a bench under a tree, orange hair catching the sunset like fire, strands glowing warm as they fell messily over her shoulders from a long day, the color vivid against the twilight.

Her bag was heavy at her feet, stuffed with books and notes that spilled slightly from the zipper.

Orange pleated skirt swayed faintly as she swung one thick thigh over the other, juicy peach butt pressing against the wood slats with a soft creak that echoed in the quiet.

She looked tired but bold, tsundere pout on her lips as she scrolled her phone, small tits rising with a sigh under her white blouse, the fabric pulling tight across her chest with each breath, nipples faint outline in the cool air.

She glanced up—orange eyes lockig on him instantly, widening faintly before narrowing into a frown, a quick blush creeping on her cute cheeks that made her pale skin stand out more. "... Hey, nerd tutor. Walking alone? Scared of the dark or something?"

Alex responded with a smile, stopping near her seat, hands still in pockets. "Evening."

It had been a few hours since their study session.

Lily huffed, crossing arms over small tits, but juicy bubbly buttocks moved excitedly on the bench, the wood creaking softly under her weight, her thick thighs brushing together. "Don't just stand there like a creep! Sit if you want. Not that I care."

He sat beside her, space respectful but close enough to smell her faint shampoo mixed with library book scent, the warmth of her body radiating slightly in the cool air, her orange hair brushing faintly against his shoulder as she shifted.

Lily glanced sideways boldly, orange eyes sharp but curious. "Stupid evening lecture ran late. Professor wouldn't shut up about crap no one cares about. You are coming from the library just now? Bet you were holed up studying like a loser hahaha."

Alex said calmly "Something like that."

She poked his arm bold, finger firm against his muscle, feeling the hard line under shirt. "Ah! You stink too! It doesn't seem you were studying. Were you running a marathon? With... someone?" Orange eyes narrowed in suspicion, but Alex found it funny.

A shy blush creeping deeper, her juicy ass shifting again on the bench, skirt riding faintly. "Pervert, why are u laughing?"

Alex remained silent, gaze forward, letting the evening breeze cool his skin. Lily had a way different energy than Erin, the complete opposite despite being best friends.

Lily huffed louder, arms crossing tighter. "Fine, be mysterious. Everyone says you're a pervert anyway. Rumors are all over—going out with multiple girls, although I haven't seen you act like that. True or what?"

Alex said calmly "Rumors."

Lily leaned closer bold, orange eyes sharp but shy flicker, breath warm faintly against his shoulder. "Don't dodge! I heard you are lovely-dovely with a girl named Alice, rumors also say you have been seen pulling "Anna" to a corner, even Ash is following you around these days. And Erin—my friend Erin, who only cares about sweets and reading—acting weird lately, all flushed and spacey. You must be doing something to her too?!"

She collected more thoughts before speaking up. "Coming to think of it, you spend so much time in the library!"

Alex said with a chuckle. "One of us has to be studying, you know."

Lily was shocked at his calm attitude despite all the rumors, her head shook side to side and raised one brow. "Studying?... Yeah right. Bet it's you messing with girls. Pervert."

Alex kept his calm attitude, a faint soft smile on his lips. "Jealous? You want me to mess with you too?"

Lily's blush exploded, orange eyes wide, peachy ass shifting hard on the bench, wood creaking loud under her sudden movement. "W-what?! As if! Idiot! Not jealous of your stupid harem or whatever! Just... curious. Erin won't say anything."

Silence stretched, evening breeze cool, distant students laughing as they passed far on path. Only a few students remained in sight.

Lily said softly, but boldly, voice lowering slightly, her orange eyes glancing shy. "You... really dating all of them?"

Alex said calmly "Complicated."

Lily pouted in frustration, arms crossed tighter over her small tits, her shirt pulling tight. "Complicated my ass! Player."

Alex stood up and in front of her as a towering man and asked with a gentle smile. "Walk you home?"

Lily's shy eyes averted to avoid his, blush deeper, juicy ass lifting as she stood fast, bag grabbing quick with a thud. "Not because I need an escort or anything! Just... same direction mostly."

They walked together, Lily strode but remained close, an orange skirt swaying with each step, her peach butt jiggling faintly, thick thighs brushing soft with faint rustle of fabric, the cool air making her shiver slightly.

Lily asked to end the silence. "So... tomorrow math hell again? Bring snacks or I riot!"

Alex put his hands back in his pockets. "Deal."

He had no idea where Lily lived but he let her take a step first then he followed.

She peeked shy bold, orange eyes glancing up frequently now. "You... good at making people feel... safe. Quiet Ash smiles pretty with you. She told me a lot about how you saved her from depression... I'm doubting a pervert can do that!"

Alex was curious as Ash told about him, but it seemed to be all good and positive things, so he calmly responded with a "Good".

Lily blushed, poked his arm roughly again, finger lingering on his shirt. "Don't get cocky! Just... thanks for the walk. Pervert nerd."

Evening air cool, campus thinning more, and the streets are almost empty.

At that moment, as they rounded a curved section of the path full of alleyways, a group of rowdy drunk guys stumbled out from a dark alleyway—four of them, typical frat types in rumpled hoodies and jeans stained with beer, messy hair spiked from sweat, red-faced and swaying, cheap plastic bottles clinking glass as they clutched them, eyes bloodshot and glassy from too much drinking, stinking of stale alcohol even from distance.

They locked eyes on Lily's body swaying close to Alex, one whistling sharp and obnoxious, the sound cutting through the quiet night like a knife, making Lily's step falter faintly, her body tensing visible, vulnerability flashing sudden.

She wasn't expecting to be targeted by drunk creeps, not here, not now, her bold tsundere mask cracking as fear crept in, orange eyes widening slightly, thick thighs pressing together nervously.

"Damn, look at that ass! Hey orange, wanna shake it for us? Bet it's nice!" A big tall guy slurred, voice thick and mocking, stepping closer with a leer, his friends laughing louder behind him.

Lily tensed more, orange eyes narrowing tsundere angry but voice shaking faintly, body instinctively moving closer to Alex, arm brushing his warm, small tits rising quick with breath as adrenaline spiked, her bold facade crumbling with real unease.

She wasn't ready for this, vulnerability hitting hard as fear mixed with surprise, hand clenching tight on her bag strap, thick thighs pressing together nervously. It was four adult men. She had no idea what to do if they committed.

Even Alex wasn't that buffed or jacked to handle all four. They thought so too, as they didn't even care about him standing next to her.

The drunks laughed louder, closing in slowly, shadows long under the faint street light, the big guy stepping even closer, breath reeking of cheap beer even from distance, hand reaching out crude as if to grab. "Come on, don't be shy—turn around, give us a show. That ass looks made for it. Your boy ain't gonna do shit, he can watch tho hahahaha"

One muttered crude "Fucking hell, man, I need to fuck!" another laughing at Lily's reaction. "Fucking bitch thinks she's too good—"

The curse hit Lily direct—"Fucking bitch"—her orange eyes flashing hurt faintly under anger, body flinching slightly, vulnerability raw as the word stung. She was ready to fight on, but fear stopped her.

"I-I will call the cops on you, assholes! I swear I'm going to make your life he—" Before she could finish her sentence, Alex moved.

He stepped forward full calm, silent dominant stare piercing—crimson eyes flaring faintly under lamp like embers, body language shifting aggressive, broad shoulders squaring wide, presence heavy and unyielding like wall, the air around him seeming to thicken with unspoken threat, colder now.

They felt he was a monster at that moment.

The big drunk creep hesitated, leer faltering, but slurred defiant "What, this weirdo thinks he's tough? Hahaha, I'm gonna fuck your girl here, watch and learn" pushing forward one step aggressive, hand reaching crude toward Lily.

Alex's eyes glowed bright red as he moved fast and explosive, fist connecting solid with the creep's jaw in a sharp crack, impact shocking, the drunk's head snapping back violently, body crumpling instant to the ground in a heap, eyes rolling dazed, bottle shattering glass on path with loud crash.

He completely fainted with a punch.

The others froze shock, laughs dying to gasps, one stumbling back "Holy shit—"

Alex stare locked remaining three, presence overwhelming, crimson eyes cold promise, fist still clenched faintly.

Even though they were drunk, they fled instantly—stumbling panicked over their fallen friend, bottles clinking frantically, feet scrambling as they ran into shadows. Voices trailing terrified curses swallowed by the night.

That's because their huge bulky buddy was shut down with a mere punch from that monster.

Lily was shocked. Her eyes widened and jaw dropped. She thought at first Alex was just going closer to talk it out, but he actually knocked the shit out of them.

She exhaled relief long and shaky, body trembling faintly now as adrenaline crashed. Her legs were shaking too much. She managed to calm down after a few deep breaths.

She stared at Alex, not expecting him to punch, to protect so fiercely—her stingy attitude cracked. Looking at his back and black hair slowly getting brushed with wind.

Her thighs pressed together faint from the thrill of seeing him violent for her, pussy tingling warm suddenly, blush exploding deeper as heat pooled low, small tits heaving quicker, juicy ass shifting nervous-excited, the drunken creeps were forgotten already. "Damned fuckers... I... could've... but... yeah... thanks. Didn't think you'd... punch him... like that..."

She tried to end the silence and approached from behind, looking disgustingly at the man laying on the ground unconscious.

Alex said calmly and with a relieving smile. "I can punch one or two for you."

Lily's cheeks flustered deeper, orange eyes shy peek up at him, vulnerability lingering in her softened gaze mixed with new heat. She walked closer now, arm brushing his involuntarily and her body still buzzing from the incident. "You're still a pervert, but... thank you."

They reached a cheap residential area full of small apartments.

Lily stopped slowly, orange eyes shy, perfect soft buttocks jiggling as she turned full to face him, skirt fluttering faintly in breeze. "I live here... Thanks for the walk. D-Don't forget the snacks tomorrow, okay!"

Alex said with a gentle smile. "Of course, see you tomorrow."
