Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 223

Elian's expression right now was downright comical.

"If you keep acting like a stud, it won't just be half of your face next time," Miranda warned him.

"And what exactly counts as not acting like a stud?" he asked earnestly.

Miranda paused. Did he have to act like that?

"What if you become my girlfriend?"

Miranda was momentarily taken aback. "No romance."

Miranda fixed her gaze on Elian. "Elian, I think it's better if we clear things up."

With his half swollen face, Elian straightened up, listening intently.

"I know you have feelings for me. I’m not sure what your intentions are, but honestly, I don’t dislike you. However, that doesn’t mean I’m okay with some kind of secretive fling. People have emotional and physical needs. If you’re just looking for something casual, I can go along with that, but we need to be clear."

Before she could finish, Elian interrupted her.

"No," he said, his eyes fixed on hers. "My interest in you isn't just physical."

He spoke in a low, deep voice, "What restrains my impulses is how much I care about you. It has long surpassed any physical desire. I'm not looking to play around, and you shouldn't play around either.

I fancy you. That's why I don't want other men eyeing you. Because of jealousy, I want to be close to you. My emotional needs and physical desires are all about you."

Each word from him was like a brushstroke on a blank canvas, growing more intense with every stroke.
