Stephen ran a bath for Tessa and gently placed her into the tub. Then, he picked up a towel and softly began to wash her delicate, fair skin.
Perhaps it was due to the heat and the steam coming from the bath, but the flush on Tessa's cheeks refused to fade.
The bathtub was quite large, so it didn't feel crowded even though they were using it together.
Tessa leaned against the edge of the tub, letting Stephen wash her body without a single protest.
He felt something stir within him as he laid his eyes on her rosy cheeks. So, he leaned in and gave her a peck.
Then, he did it again, pecking her red cheeks lightly.
It wasn't enough. So, he pressed another fleeting kiss on her lips.
Tessa was sore all over and felt like a drained battery, so she couldn't resist his kisses.
"You're so good for me," he murmured as he continued kissing her cheeks, brows, and eyelids.
After the bath, Stephen carried her back to the bedroom, dried her hair, and changed the bedsheets.
Tessa sat in the chair while Stephen stood behind her, blowing her hair dry.
"Can I stay the night?" he asked softly.
Tessa answered weakly, "I'm really tired and am done for the day. I can't go for another round."
Stephen chuckled softly at her protests. The blow-dryer shifted slightly as his slender fingers combed through her hair. "I swear I'll only be holding you while we sleep tonight. I won't do anything else."
"I don't believe you," she replied promptly.
"I'm serious," he said with a grin.
They had gone for three rounds. Three rounds that spanned from the afternoon till dusk.
His stamina was utterly terrifying.
The universe would have to forgive her if she had no desire to tempt fate, especially when fate was a man who had been abstinent for so long.
Tessa shook her head. "I still don't believe you."
"When have I ever lied to you?" he asked in amusement.
He really shouldn't have said that because Tessa's face sank the second he did. She remarked coldly, "Is that so? Remind me again what you told me back when you decided to dump me?"
Stephen immediately fell silent.
He knew he was in the wrong, so he hastily apologized, saying, "That was all my fault, but you know how it was back then. Besides, you now understand why I had to do it, don't you?"

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
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....
