Chapter 158 Nina
"Are you sure you want me to move in, when there doesn't even seem to be enough space?"
Hearing Eva's voice all of a sudden, now, while he was burying his head in her breasts, savoring their softness even through her clothes, and inhaling her scent after their long talk, Christian couldn't help but respond in a playful tone.
"Did I look like I was joking? Of course, I want you to move in immediately."
"More importantly, it's your standards that are too high, actually. I've always considered my house to be big."
"But what about your..." Eva hesitated to say the word "sister." In the end, she didn't. Instead, she changed the subject and said.
"Well, even then, there are still many things I need to take care of back at my residence. Not to mention, there's Nina, who I'm thinking of keeping by my side."
Hearing an unfamiliar name, Christian couldn't help but ask, "Who is this Nina?"
"The assassin you subdued yesterday. You didn't even think to ask her name?"
Raising his head and looking at her strangely, Christian wondered if he really should have asked her name while they were trying to kill each other.
In the end, he just shrugged and asked seriously instead, "Can you really trust her?"
With a confident expression, Eva replied, "She was commissioned to come after you. It's not like you have some deep, irresistible grudge against each other."
"Most importantly, I'm pretty good at judging character."
'When there's no one on your side, and all of them are spies?' Christian, who had already investigated the people around her, doubted his ears when he heard her statement and said, "So, the people around you are the ones you filtered with your "good" character judgment skill?"
Knowing her current situation, Eva immediately felt like he was ridiculing her and retorted without hesitation.
"Do you really think I didn't know what they were doing? But even if I fired them and hired others, they would always switch sides, or stop working altogether."

"And when one stubbornly stayed by my side because he was smitten by my beauty, thinking he had a chance, he ended up being killed in the end."
"Huh? To that extent?" Christian, feeling not the slightest bit sorry for the man who thought too highly of himself and met his demise, voiced his doubt.
"Yes, and that's why I stopped bothering with them, as long as they did their job correctly."
Still unconvinced, Christian was about to argue further when Eva suddenly added, "Anyway, Sophia is pretty strong, and I plan to have her work together with Nina until I'm one hundred percent sure that she is on my side."
Christian, who was still not entirely convinced, decided to conduct his own investigation later with Iris's help. For now, though, he chose to stay silent, and go along with her decision.
"Well, do what you want, just be careful," he said.
"Anyway, for now, there's another important conversation we need to have later, this time with my sister present."
"You can decide what you want to do exactly then. But from now on, even if you have things to do during the day, I at least want us to sleep together at night."
'Why do I feel like a wife waiting for her husband at night, nagging at him so he doesn't end up sleeping somewhere else?'
While silently wondering, Christian caught sight of Eva's beaming smile as she nodded. He couldn't shake the feeling that he might lose something if he dwelled on this subject any longer. So, deciding to shift gears, he thought of another topic and said with a smile.
"Well, now that we're talking about sleeping, we paused last time because there were still many things I was concerned about. But now, there's no such thing."
Without waiting for her response, seemingly waiting for this moment, when their talk finished, Christian pushed her onto the bed without another thought.
As he began kissing her neck, his hands didn't remain idle, they were already busy fiddling with the buttons of her upper clothes.
While running her fingers through his smooth hair, Eva, noticing the clumsy movement of his hands, chuckled and said.
"Let me help you."
Seeing Christian's embarrassed expression, especially when, with nothing left but her bra, he buried his head in her breast and kissed the exposed upper part, Eva who also embarrassed exposing her bare skin, felt herself become bolder… felt like she was having the time of her life.
She also didn't stop her hands, as she moved on to remove his clothes this time.
When his tight, firm, bare stomach was exposed, she couldn't help but take in a deep breath. She thought his face was already deadly enough, but it turned out it wasn't his only weapon.
Unaware that there was still a hidden, more deadly weapon, Eva began tracing his firm six-pack muscles with her finger.
It was a brief moment before Christian returned to the softness of her breasts, but Eva, having her admiration of his body interrupted by the hickey left by his sister once again, suddenly reprimanded, "Why are you being so careful?"
Christian, who had been handling Eva's body as if it were a delicate porcelain vase that would break with the slightest carelessness, felt wronged when he heard the accusing tone in her voice. But before he could voice his complaints, she continued.
"To not leave marks?"
Lowering her voice, and with a hot breath accompanying it, she provocatively added, "I want you to leave them, though~"
Christian didn't need to be told twice; against her enticing offer, there was no way he would ever refuse, and he started taking action immediately.
First, was his hand that had sneaked beneath her bra, and started roughly fondling her big breast, but was unable to hold on its entirety, then there was his mouth, which finally started doing it's work.
He started by kissing her neck first, but in no time, did these kisses transformed into something else.
