He felt a chill break out at the thought of it so he refrained from probing further.
Without another word, he drove straight to his apartment.
âItâs not the weekend,â Alexis pointed out.
âDoes that mean I canât spend the night with you unless itâs a weekend?â
Leonel said in an unnervingly calm tone.
She cast a sideways glance at him.
Their relationship this time was different.
They spoke little and felt a distance between them.
The intensity of Leonelâs feelings overwhelmed Alexis.
Alexis wondered if his need to flee in the past stemmed from similar feelings.
When they arrived at his apartment, he lifted her and carried her to the bedroom.
As evening approached, the room was bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun, both bright and soft.
Alexis resisted his advances.
She nudged him.
âThe curtains.
â
Leonel pressed a button to close the curtains.
Then his breath turned seductive in the darkness⦠Alexis burrowed her face in the pillow and asked him to use protection.
Leonel whispered against her lips, âAlexis, letâs have a child.
â
âHuh! You wish.
Why would I as an unmarried woman, bear your child?â
His response was a passionate ki*s.
His lips eventually trailed to her ear.
âThen why do you have s@x with me?â
She kicked him.
âIsnât it because youâre aroused?â
Leonelâs gaze deepened.
He eventually complied with her request and wore a condom.
His passion waned after he orgasmed twice.
His mind was clearly somewhere else.
He was not so excited, but he didnât want to let her go.
She just buried her head in the pillow and soon fell asleep.

Leonel tenderly ki*sed her damp hair when he saw this.
The night fell.
He glanced at the clock and noted it was already eight.
Alexis was asleep beneath him.
He swallowed.
He wondered if she thought it was boring to have s@x with him.
He stood up and went to take a shower.
When he was done, he went to the kitchen to prepare a simple but nutritious dinner.
He then returned to the bedroom to wake her up when dinner was set.
He found Alexis awake.
She was sitting on the bedside, confused.
Leonel walked up to her and softly stroked her hair.
âYou fell asleep.
â
Alexis smiled and said, âI fell asleep during s@x.
Isnât that the sign youâre being looking for? Leonel, this is pointless and we should let go of each other go as soon as we can.
â
He looked at her and didnât reply.
Silently, they had dinner.
Alexis didnât inquire about his situation with Serenity.
It was his concern, not hers.
Even though Alexis didnât ask, Leonel was likely to share eventually.
Their relationship was functional yet hollow.
They shared meals, a bed, intimacy, but the spark was gone.
Leonel wondered what happened to the old Alexis.
She once desired him so deeply.
Now, she was calm and detached.
It was a stark contrast to her previous longing.
Leonel felt unsettling knowing he couldnât fully really have Alexis.
He was trapped by his own emotions.
The more he couldnât get Alexis, the more he yearned for control over her.
Even knowing she resented it, he couldnât help himselfâ¦
