The heater had been turned on, but Tessa felt her entire body begging to grow unbearably hot.
Stephen pinned her to the couch and traced his hot lips all over her neck. His voice was dipped low, hoarse from want as he asked, "Tess, I want to stay the night with you. Can I?"
Tessa felt like she was cocooned by his body heat. Her face was beet red and she blubbered, "Y-You can…"
His lips curved up into a smile, the desire in his eyes intensifying. He didn't speak again, focusing all his attention on showering Tessa with endless kisses.
Tessa felt dizzy from his affection. She loved being intimate with Stephen.
Too many things happened recently, resulting in them not having the time to enjoy each other in ages. Both Stephen and Tessa couldn't hold back their desires any longer. A spark was all it took to set the fire ablaze.
Outside the window, the snow continued to fall quietly. The inner side of the window fogged up from their intense lovemaking. Tessa was drunk on the happiness and satisfaction welling up in her heart.
After all was said and done, Tessa could feel how sore her body was all over. She was so tired, her strength fleeing from her.
"Thank you, Stephen."
Stephen carried Tessa and walked over to the bathroom. "What are you thanking me for?"
Tessa was cradled in Stephen's arms. The haze of desire had not fully receded from her eyes. Her face was also still a sultry red. "Thank you for helping Anne find a suitable bone marrow. You gave her another chance at life. Thank you for giving hope to the siblings."
"That's it?"
Stephen lowered his gaze. Tessa could see the affection in his eyes.
She nibbled on her bottom lip. "Thank you also for always being by my side. For giving me love that belongs only to me. For allowing me to experience what love should be like."
Tessa had bared her deepest thoughts to Stephen. She also wanted to fan the flames of their passion even more. "Did you know, Stephen? You're very different from Zachary."
Stephen didn't get angry when she mentioned Zachary's name. Instead, he asked coolly, "How are we different?"
As they chatted, he carried Tessa into the bathroom. The heater had also been turned on in the bathroom, so the porcelain bathtub wasn't cold to the touch even though it was winter. He gently placed Tessa into the tub and ran some water for her.
Tessa lounged lazily against the side of the tub. "To put it more accurately, you and Zachary are different in my heart. Although I dated Zachary in the past, I never felt possessive toward him and I didn't like being intimate with him. But you're different, Stephen. I feel strongly possessive over you. I want to hide you away from the world and have you all for myself."
Tessa almost wanted to admit how upset she had been when she found out that Susan had been chasing after Stephen like a madwoman for 10 years. However, after recalling how Susan had passed away, Tessa decided there was no reason to bring it up again.
After he was done filling the tub with water, he stepped into it as well. He grabbed a towel and rinsed it before gently wiping down Tessa's smooth body.
He was pleased after hearing her confession. His eyes sparkled as he asked, "Strongly possessive, you say? How strong are we talking about?"
"Didn't I already say… I want to hide you away and keep you for myself?" Tessa muttered.
Stephen hummed his reply. He lowered his eyes, hiding them from Tessa's line of sight. But she could tell how he was feeling from the upward curve of his lips.
"Tess," Stephen called out her name with feeling.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Do you love me?"

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
