His hands roamed restlessly over her waist, his head resting lightly on her shoulder as he leaned in. He turned his face slightly and caught her earlobe gently between his teeth.
"Does this count as sneaking around?" he whispered.
Flora's ears twitched, a blush spreading from her neck up to her ears.
Connor's night vision was exceptional, allowing him to see the flush on her face even in the dim light. The shadows added a certain allure to the moment.
"Does this make it more exciting?" he murmured, his lips brushing against Flora's earlobe, sending tingles down her spine and making her knees weak.
Flora was the first to cave, turning to face Connor and wrapping her arms around his neck, her eyes misty and a bit reproachful. "Connor, it's only been a few days, and you've already picked up some naughty tricks!"
She had always been the one to tease him, but now she found herself struggling to keep up.
Connor chuckled.
He'd always had a bit of a mischievous streak, but only for his girl.
He leaned down and gently nibbled her lip before stepping back.
He walked over to the wall and switched on the light.
The cold white glow filled the room, giving it a bit of a chill.
The table was covered with Flora's favorite foods—main dishes, desserts, and fruits. If Cynthia were here, she would probably cry at the sight.
"Mr. Connor, are you giving me special treatment?" Flora teased.
The base had strict rules: only cafeteria food was allowed, and no snacks. But here was Connor, the head of Empire Base, bending the rules for her.
"With me, you'll always be the exception."
Connor placed a glass of watermelon juice in front of Flora, thoughtfully adding a straw.
"Mr. Connor, I'm exhausted from training all day. Could you feed me? I really want some of that sweet cake."
Connor picked up a piece of the cake and brought it to her lips.
