Eventually, night fell, and the moon shone brightly as stars dotted the sky, making it seem like there were glittering snowflakes being reflected in the lake a distance away. When the night wind blew, the lake rippled, creating different images of the moon reflected off it. The entire atmosphere was filled with romanticness.
I placed my head on Christopherâs chest while holding a beer bottle. Of course, it was not for me but for him. I had already gotten a headache from the alcohol, and after getting pinned to the tree for a kiss, I gave him the beer bottle obediently. If I refused, he would continue kissing me till I faint.
The feeling of getting drunk had gotten me high. Although I knew that I would get a pounding headache the following day, it did not matter as long as I was happy right then. Even if the sky collapsed right now, I would no longer care.
âChris, do you think weâre the couple everyoneâs jealous about in our previous life? Hmm⦠Maybe I was a daughter of the king and was super popular!â I laughed lowly while nuzzling into his neck.
âWhy couldnât it be that Iâm the king, and youâre the daughter of a minister? Isnât that more appropriate?â After seeing my hands fumbling over the hem of his shirt, Christopher grabbed my hands and placed them on his cheek.
Rolling my eyes, I poked his shoulder and explained, âIsnât that obvious? Look at you. Youâre the spitting image of a tall, handsome, rich guy every woman is pining for! As for me, Iâm just a loser. Since my life is such a mess, it must mean that my previous life was nothing less than perfect. Therefore, Iâm definitely a daughter of an elite family that everyone raves about.â
Christopher burst out in laughter at my words. After he finished laughing, he continued earnestly, âIf thatâs the case, I must be a warrior that betrayed the entire country in my previous life. Plus, I must have some sort of grudge with you. Thus, I came here to repay my debt from my last life to you.â
âThat makes sense. I like what youâre proposing.â I nodded and tilted my head, pressing a kiss to his cheek. âOkay. Youâre my slave right now. Since youâre indebted to me, does it mean that I have the right to order you around?â
âPlease instruct me, Master.â Christopher caressed my cheek lightly, his eyes filled with gentleness.
I tugged him into my arms and raised an eyebrow. âMake love to me till I cry.â
âYes, Master!â Immediately, he picked me up and ran to his car. The way he ran made me feel like he was running a marathon. He then placed me at the carâs back seat and climbed into it after me, closing the door and rolling up the partition screen.
I leaned on the back seat and stared at the man in front of me. He always seemed to have a sly-looking smile on his face, but he had a different expression that day because of my tease. With a smile, I positioned myself on top of him. If one can choose to be naturally conjoined with another, I would gladly be with Christopher. That way, we will never be separated and will do everything together. Itâll be even better if he could put me inside his pocket.
A couple of new calluses formed on Christopherâs palm and thumb. That made me wonder what he had been doing secretly for his hand to be so rough. When his hands glossed over my chest, I felt goosebumps on my skin.
I could not help but let out a moan, and my fingers traced his face. Smiling, I said, âDid you take up a mining job to provide for me now that your familyâs business is in a slump? Is that why you have so many calluses?â
âEven if I took up a mining job, Iâll be the best in it so that I could definitely provide for you.â Christopher planted a kiss on the lid of my eye. Then, he interlaced our fingers. At that moment, there was nothing else that made me more satisfied than the fact that both our hearts and bodies were linked as one.
âI donât want you to provide for me. Why canât I be the one to support you instead?â I sat up and mounted his waist, wrapping my arms around his neck.
âYou want to support me?â He lifted an eyebrow and had a huge grin on his face. However, his smile was rather odd-looking.
