It was rare for Alexis to take the initiative.
She pulled him in and ki*sed him so passionately that it lit his whole body on fire.
He then bent over and ki*sed her back with the same intensity, making sure that she would feel good.
After a long time, she relaxed in his arms.
Her skin was drenched in sweat.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â she murmured as she leaned her head against his neck.
Although it was just as good as usual, there was something different about it this time around.
Leonel grazed her cheek with his thumb.
âWhat? Is it not enough?â
Of course it wasnât enough.
They didnât really do it just now.
However, Alexis was too shy to say this out loud.
She wouldâve come across as s@x-starved if she did.
So, she gently kicked him away and said, âIâm going to take a shower.
â
Leonel stood up and let go of her.
As Alexis walked towards the bathroom, he stared at her back and swallowed hard.
He was ligatured today.
As such, he couldnât have s@x for a week.
He didnât want Alexis to know about it.
However, if the two of them didnât have s@x for a whole week, Alexis would surely begin to doubt.
Once she was done showering, Alexis came out of the bathroom.
Leonel was outside, talking to someone over the phone.
After a while, he hung up the phone and said lightly, âIâm going to Heron tomorrow on business.
Iâll be there for about a week.
â
Alexis wasnât the clingy type, so she didnât mind that he had business to do.
She simply sat on the sofa and began applying nail polish on her feet.
âAre you leaving tomorrow morning?â she asked.
âYes,â he answered.
âThen Iâll stay at my parentsâ place this week.
I miss Claribelâs cooking.
â
Leonel stared at Alexis for a while.
Although he wouldnât be here, he was hoping that she would stay here.
If she did, it meant that she belonged to him, and it would be like they never parted.
âYou just stay here.
Iâll be back in a week.
â
Admiring her nail polish, Alexis casually said, âIâm not your wife.
Why would I stay here?â
As soon as she said that, something felt immediately wrong.
It almost seemed that she was forcing him to marry her.
