NOVEL SIMPLE Sofia
Garry hesitated for a moment, clearly torn, before his eyes hardened with resolve. He stepped closer to Alex, his voice barely above a whisper. "It's like this, Alex. My mom... she's been acting weird lately. She's... been looking at me differently."
Alex frowned, not quite understanding. "Differently? What do you mean?"
"Like... she's been walking into my room naked," Garry said, his voice trembling slightly. "Even when I'm in the shower, she'll come in and... look at me. She even asked me to... wash her."
Alex blinked, trying to process what Garry had just said. "Wait, what?"
Garry continued, clearly disturbed. "She's started seeing me as... something else. It's disgusting."
Alex's mind raced, trying to comprehend the situation. Aunt Sofia? Trying to seduce Garry? A strange thought crossed his mind, and he found himself wondering what would happen if she tried that with him. His heart began to race as memories of her tight hugs and lingering touches surfaced. He gulped.
"And it got worse," Garry added, his teeth clenched. "She asked me to have sex with her, Alex. Like... what kind of mother does that?"
Alex stared at Garry, stunned. His thoughts were far from disgusted—was Garry serious? How could he see this as a problem? The aunt that Alex barely remembered, the one who had been so touchy? If anything, it seemed like an opportunity. He gulped again.
"So... what did you do?" Alex asked, swallowing his curiosity, though his voice betrayed a hint of eagerness.
"I rejected her, obviously," Garry replied with a grimace. "I mean, eww."
Eww? Alex thought to himself, incredulous. This guy passed up a golden opportunity. He shook his head, wondering how Garry could see this as anything but an advantage. Still, it was clear this world operated on a twisted logic.
"Right... so, why are you telling me all this?" Alex asked, deciding to steer the conversation back to the present.
Garry fidgeted, rubbing his hands together nervously. "Well, the truth is... my mom set this all up today. Letting you come over... it was all her plan."
"What?!" Alex exclaimed, his voice louder than he intended.
"Yeah," Garry whispered, lowering his head. "She gave me an ultimatum. Either I... or you. I didn't know what to do... I was scared, Alex. I thought... maybe you'd..."
"You thought I'd what?" Alex asked, though the gears in his head were turning, and not in the way Garry might expect.
"I didn't want to betray you," Garry said, trembling. "But she threatened me. She said if I didn't... she'd come after you instead. I was scared, man."
Alex's thoughts spun wildly. Aunt Sofia had been eyeing him this whole time? She wanted him? He felt a surge of excitement. His heart raced faster as the realization hit. He tried to maintain a calm expression, but the idea was... intriguing.
"So... she's planning to, what, come after me tonight?" Alex asked, trying to clarify.
Garry nodded, tears streaming down his face. "She told me to bring you here, and she'd... well, she'd ask you. Or worse, she'd bind you up if you said no."
Alex's mind raced, but unlike Garry, he wasn't filled with fear. Instead, a strange sense of anticipation bubbled up. This world is insane, Alex thought, his excitement growing. But, hey, maybe that's a good thing.
He placed a hand on Garry's shoulder, trying to comfort his friend. "Don't cry, man. I get it. You didn't have a choice."
Garry, surprised by Alex's reaction, looked up, guilt still clouding his expression. "You don't hate me? After what I've done?"
"Hate you? Nah," Alex said, forcing a grin. "It's not a big deal. Really. If anything... it might be fun."
Before Garry could respond, the door creaked open. Alex turned, and there she was—Sofia, standing in the doorway, her cheeks flushed and her lips curled into a seductive smile. Her tight leggings hugged her curves, and her eyes locked onto Alex with an unmistakable hunger.
Alex felt a shiver run through his body as her eyes bore into him. She swayed her hips as she walked closer, her voice dripping with lust. "I knew it, Alex. I always knew you were stronger than Garry."
She didn't even glance at her son. All of her attention was on Alex.
"A-Aunt Sofia..." Alex stammered, scratching his head awkwardly, unsure of how to react.
"So, what do you say, Alex?" Sofia purred, getting straight to the point. "No more games."
Alex hesitated, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. Why not? he thought. He wasn't the real Alex. He'd transmigrated into this body, after all. But still, he couldn't just dive in without some leverage.
"I'll do it," Alex said, his voice firmer than he felt. "But... I have a condition."
Sofia's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Anything, Alex. Just say the word."
"First, you need to leave Garry alone from now on," Alex said, glancing at his friend, who was still bowing his head in shame. "And this... whatever happens, it stays a secret."
Garry's eyes welled up even more at Alex's words, overcome with guilt and relief.
"Done," Sofia replied without hesitation. "I'll never bother Garry again. And as for secrets..." She stepped closer to Alex, her scent intoxicating. "I can keep those very well."
Her lips were mere inches from his. Alex's heart pounded in his chest as she leaned in, her breath warm on his skin. He didn't resist. Instead, his lips met hers in a slow, tentative kiss. Her soft lips pressed against his, and the taste of her sent a surge of heat through his body.
