Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2324

Marina stood frozen, eventually succumbing to his persuasive kiss. Within his skilled embrace, Marina could find no trace of emotion, only the practiced art of a kiss. Still, an unspoken intimacy clouded around them, making her heart race uncontrollably. She'd never thought a minute could feel so eternal. His timing was impeccable, ending the kiss precisely after a minute, stepping back with a polite smile, "If you ever need this kind of help again, I'm your guy. And I'll make sure it's a perfect experience for you!"

Squeezing the words through clenched teeth, Marina managed to say, "Well, thanks for that!" Avoiding the mocking glances of the other men, she hurried away.

As soon as they started kissing, Magdalen had turned Kya away, holding her close, while Estelle sat by her side, distracting her with a lollipop. Upon returning, Marina wiped her mouth with a tissue, declaring, "Alright, punishment's over. Let's get on with the next game!"

Susanna looked a bit pale but urged, "Yes, let's keep it moving." This time, it was Amiee dealing the cards. Magdalen couldn't help but gloat as she revealed her hand, "Bet nobody's got anything to beat this!" Her trio of fives drew a collective sigh from the group, revealing their cards in turn. Susanna had a mix of three, four, and six, all different suits, the weakest hand.

Without a hint of malice, Magdalen asked, "Ms. Murphy, truth or dare?" Without hesitation, Susanna chose, "Dare!" "See? That's the spirit!" Magdalen turned towards Marina, who simply took a swig of her drink, ignoring the comment.

Magdalen then looked at Susanna with a mild smile, "Then please, Ms. Murphy, go to Mr. Foster and ask for a slap. Let's see if he has the guts to do it?"

The room went silent, surprised by the request, wondering if Magdalen had misspoken. After all, Susanna was engaged to Andrew! Only Estelle, still busy with her lollipop and entertaining Kya, showed no sign of shock. Susanna's eyes sparkled with a mix of dread and anticipation, almost standing up before Magdalen finished, "See if Mr. Foster dares to slap you."
