RISE OF EROS - Chapter 112:

[Mature Content:]Alaric was too close to Nicolette.Her mouth was just inches away from his.He could smell the lavender on her skin, the heat radiating from within her.But he held back, refusing to be carried away by her charm…“Mr. Allens…” she purred, and he looked down at her.Her eyes widened with desire, and he knew, in that moment, that if he wanted to kiss her, she would let him.The last thing he wanted was commitment. He knew that Nicolette didn’t want that either.But why was she this tempting?So willing?It was that willingness that confused him.She blinked, then swallowed as she pulled the jacket off her shoulders. His eyes lingered on her exposed neck.God.He just wanted to bury his mouth in that hollow spot.“Here,” Nicolette said calmly, extending the jacket to him.He took the jacket, his hand brushing hers just a second. She flinched, her face turning pink as she clutched the towel against her chest.His stomach flipped at the sight.If only that towel would give way to…Before he could stop himself, Alaric pressed his arousal against her stomach, pushing her against the wall, cornering her.She gasped at the sudden movement and for a moment, he lost his mind.“Cole…” he breathed, crushing himself against her.Her eyes gleamed with desire and a vulnerability that rocked him to his core.He would be foolish not to give in to this feeling.But he would also be a fool if he did.She had chosen to marry him.Not her boyfriend.And definitely not Lucian Crawford.Yet, he couldn't help it.She was only his for a year.But still…***************When her business and the gallery she inherited from her mother burn to the ground, Nicolette Voss is determined to rebuild—and get revenge on her father.She turned to her father’s rival, Alaric Allens, for an alliance.Alaric is willing to help, but on one condition—she must be his wife for a year.They called him Ruthless Alaric after an infamous incident 6 years ago.

A century later, in 2125, the world had transformed beyond recognition. With the aid of alien technologies and interactions with various space-faring species, humans expanded their reach to other planets and galaxies. Advanced sciences, indistinguishable from magic, genetic mutations, and cybernetic enhancements propelled humanity to new heights. Humans were no longer the weak, powerless beings they once were; they had evolved into one of the dominant species in the cosmos.Xavier, a young nomad from a small village, had received a scholarship to attend the prestigious Astraeus Academy on Earth. Although he was reluctant to leave his family behind, he enrolled in the academy upon his father's insistence. His ancestors had made a significant investment in Astraeus City—when it wasn’t even planned and constructed—which was the most powerful and luxurious metropolis that many dreamed of living in but few could even visit.However, things didn’t go as planned. Those with power and blinded by greed had taken over everything, and there was no sign of his ancestors' investment.In this new world, money was everything. It could buy anything and everything. Morals held no value against the almighty dollar. A father would sell his son for money, and a mother would kill her daughter for it. Oh, you can’t pay the 1 million dollar loan? No worries! Just rent your wife for a week and the loan is paid! What, you killed someone? No problem! Just pay 10 million dollars and walk free!Determined to reclaim what was his, Xavier decided to enroll in Astraeus Academy and claim the throne of power that rightfully belonged to him. But most humans had undergone genetic enhancements and cybernetic modifications, making them far stronger than ordinary humans. Xavier, however, was just a normal human, and due to his innate disorder, his body couldn’t support cybernetic enhancements.Xavier was bullied and thrashed every day, called names, framed and accused, and even worse, there were attempts on his life. Just when he thought his life was over, a voice called out to him—a voice that some might presume belonged to a goddess. The goddess gave him a system… an unlimited money system.In a world where money was everything, how would Xavier survive? But with an unlimited money system, who could stop him?“I need a house.”[Just buy it.]“I want a car.”[Steal it.]“I am looking for something ancient that’s not available anywhere on the planet.”[Unlock the Dimensional Store and get it.]“I am bleeding.”[Get the divine grade healing potion.]“I… want a girlfriend…”[Starting a quest to seduce your bully’s girlfriend! Step 1: Gift her flowers!]Follow Xavier in his journey to not only become the universe's richest, but also the most strongest.Spoiler/Tags- Genius MC, Smart MC, Ruthless MC, Merciless MC, Anti-Hero, Handsome MC, Gore, Bullying, Rich MC, Harem, R-18, smut, echhi, Student-teacher relationship, Senior-junior relationship, cousin relationship, milfs,poor to rich, weak to strong, System, Super rich, beautiful female leads, alien waifus, monster (vampire/dragon etc etc) waifus, Dimensional Store, Mafia, gangs, guns, cars, cyberpunk, futuristic, space, interstellar, aliens, action, Conquor, Domination, VR, spaceships, NO YURI.
