Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2455

"What's up?" Jason frowned, his gaze inquisitive.

"Nothing!" Sophia felt she might be overthinking things and quickly turned to leave.

She returned to the master bedroom, closed the door behind her, grabbed her pajamas, and headed to the bathroom, making sure to lock it tightly behind her.

Even so, as she stood under the shower, the thought of Jason being just outside made her cheeks flush with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. It was an unfamiliar feeling, leaving her bewildered and unsure.

After dressing in a long-sleeve shirt and pants, checking herself from head to toe, she finally left the bedroom.

Jason had just finished making spaghetti, and the aroma alone was enough to make Sophia's stomach growl with hunger. "Smells amazing!" she exclaimed, her eyes lighting up.

"Wait up!"

Jason washed his hands and grabbed a clean towel, gently drying Sophia's hair with a natural, tender motion.

Sophia stood still, unusually obedient.

"Make sure your hair is dry before going to bed after dinner!" Jason advised.

"Are you leaving after dinner?" Sophia asked without thinking.

Jason paused, his gaze dropping to meet hers, his voice deep and husky, "You could think of a reason to keep me here!"

Sophia's cheeks turned scarlet, and she pushed his hands away. "It'll dry quickly, let's eat."

Jason's lips curled into a slight smirk as he set the towel aside and sat down opposite Sophia. It was eleven at night, and they were having dinner together.

Sophia took hearty bites of her spaghetti, genuinely praising, "This is so good!"

Jason raised an eyebrow, wiping a smudge of marinara sauce from her lips with a napkin. "Is it really that good? Have you been starving for days?"

Sophia lightly touched her lips, nodding, "I really haven't had a proper meal in days!"

Jason frowned slightly, stepping closer, "It's dark and cold, and you're letting me go?"

"I—uh!"

Sophia's eyes widened in surprise as Jason kissed her, her instincts making her clutch at his sleeves.

After drying her hair and brushing her teeth with peach-flavored toothpaste, which was sweet and refreshing, Jason's breath carried the tang of lemon water. Their flavors mixed, akin to sparkling water "bubbling" down the throat, with countless bubbles rising in her heart, scattering in colorful, floating drifts.

Sophia's eyes darted around, feeling as if since that night they had opened up, Jason was like a character from a game, unleashed.

And with each kiss, it felt like he was pounding at the seals around her heart, the cracks widening.

She found herself increasingly unable to resist.

Jason caressed her soft, fragrant hair, his kisses fervent as he lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bedroom.
