Felicia fumbled, trying to exin. But before she could say anything, the wlessly handsome <b>face </b>before her suddenly loomed closer,
As Stephan’s shadow enveloped her, she heard him munnia, “Now, It’s any turn.”
“You–mmph…”
Her words were abruptly cut off. It was not one of those gentle or fleeting kisses from before. At that moment, Stephan was far more intense as though he intended to devour her whole. The hand gripping her <b>waist </b>tightened inexorably.
It came like a storm, a ferocious offensive that heunched against her. Finally, in the midst of this <b>fierce </b>kiss<b>, </b>he even bit her. Felicia, unwilling to be outdone, bit him back just as hard.
What should’ve been a passionate kiss now carried <b>an </b>undertone of battle. It was fierce and unyielding.
<b>It </b><b>was </b>unclear who <b>gave </b>in first nor who started it. Everything just happened naturally, as if it were inevitable.
When Felicia opened her eves the next morning, her expression showed quite a range ofplexity.
Stephan observed her for a <b>while</b>, finding her reaction amusing yet feeling a subtle sinking feeling in his chest. Fixing her gaze on her, he asked, “Do you regret it?”
Felicia widened her eyes. Thoughst night had been impulsive, she was painfully aware of the reasons behind her actions. She liked him, and her heart stirred for him. It waspletely voluntary.
Facing Stephan’s gaze, her cheeks and ears flushed a deep red, but she didn’t look away. Instead, she replied firmly, “No, I don’t.”
Stephan froze for <b>a </b>moment, then smiled, “Felicia, I’ll hold you to that ”
“<b>Yeah</b>,” she replied, blinking a few times. Whatever the reason, her <b>heart </b><b>had </b>already made the decision before she took this step forward.
Since that was the <b>case</b>, she was willing to acknowledge her feelings. She would try to… respond to his affection.
What Felicia did not expect <b>was </b>that after her reply, Stephan stared at her <b>for </b><b>a </b>long time. Then, a barrage of kisses rained down on her once more<b>.. </b>
She <b>was </b>utterly drained from the previous day. Feeling his restless hands again, she was unable to bear it and protested loudly, “Stephan! Are you done yet?”
His voice <b>was </b>muffleding through the covers. She froze for a moment, taking a while to process what he <b>had </b>said.
“If I don’t take <b>care </b>of you properly, <b>what </b>if you flip out and deny everything likest time?”
She <b>was </b>stunned by his words. This guy was absolutely shameless!
By the time they were done, it was already noon. Felicia waspletely spent and ultimately left Stephan to do as he <b>pleased</b><b>. </b>
When she finally left the room after freshening up, she found a table full of foodid out in the dining room downstairs. Without a doubt, Stephan must’ve ordered his subordinates to prepare it. novelbin
Starving, Felicia was too <b>tired </b>to care about his tantmandeering of her <b>space</b>. She quietly sat <b>down </b>at the table and started eating without reservation.
The food was excellent–perfectly suited to her <b>tastes </b>and preferences.
She couldn’t help but nce at Stephan and ask, “Did you have someone investigate me?
Otherwise, how could be know her <b>likes </b>and dislikes so well?
<b>Stephan </bdled a bowl of mushroom <b>soup </b>and ced it in front of her, smiling faintly as he answered, “No. I just have them all memorized from the few times we’ve eaten together.”
His words were simple, but they left Felicia stunned for a brief moment
Back in the Fuller family, be it Dexter, Myra, Howell, or Tabitha, <b>none </b>of them had <b>ever </b>bothered to observe her preferences or <b>care </b>about what she liked or disliked.
Stephan, on the other hand, had memorized everything despite their rtively few meals together.
A subtle feeling stirred in Felicia’s heart.
