“Anything I want to do the most?”
His warm lips were against the shell of her ear as his deep, husky voice puffed out these incredibly tempting words.
Cordelia felt her heart skip a beat as her face flushed. She leaned back against him.
“What I want to do the most now… is to keep hugging you like this.”
Zephyr was delighted about it. He knew that the girl got shy easily and had to go slow, so he led her forward. “What else do you want to do after hugging?”
“Huh?” Cordelia looked up, her innocent gaze confused.
“Think about how we were.” Zephyr smiled while stroking her face. “Back at home… where do you usually hug me?”
Cordelia obviously did not want to go along with what he said and purposely replied, “Oh, back then? Didn’t we always hug on the balcony? We looked at the stars together after I hugged you like this!”
Zephyr was rendered speechless.
She chuckled, “Oh yeah, Zephyr, I kind of want to stargaze now. Do it with me, okay?”
The deflated man was unwilling, but he forced a smile.
“Sure, stargazing.” His tone was doting.
Cordelia giggled in secret, sly like a little fox.
When she looked up, though, the night weather was foggy and a little damp and cold. They probably would not be seeing anything.
She looked at Zephyr disappointedly and grimaced, “When you were in Centrolis and I was in Jangasas the last time, I saw that the starry sky was beautiful here through the video you sent me.”
“Don’t worry.” Zephyr’s gaze was gentle. “Tonight’s stars will be beautiful too.”
“But…”
“Come with me.” He held her hand. “I’ll make sure you see the stars!”
Cordelia was pulled into the car. Zephyr drove eastward, following the road by the sea, and came to the Hamertons’ private beach.
