The Heiress With Seven Secret Identies (Stella Shaw) novel Chapter 414

As his long fingers ran through her hair, a gentle warmth followed the trail of his touch.

Once he finished and put the dryer away, she wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging to him like a little koala with her head tucked against his shoulder.

"Thanks for the hard work, Boyfriend," she murmured.

Jasper stood there, frozen.

She reached up and touched him lightly. "Your ears are turning red!"

"Nicole," Jasper said, his voice losing its usual softness and taking on a dangerous edge. "Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in right now?"

"How can I be in trouble when I'm with you?"

"You shouldn't trust anyone a hundred percent—not even me. Understand?"

"If you're mean to me, I'll punish you," she repeated, before biting down softly on his earlobe.

Jasper strode out of the bathroom, kicked the bedroom door shut with his heel, and pulled her under the covers with him.

"Jasper—mmph!"

Her breath was stolen away before she could finish his name.

"Do you understand the danger now?" Jasper asked.

Nicole was so dazed by the tingling sensation coursing through her that she forgot to answer.

"Are you scared?"

"I... I'm never punishing you again," she managed.

"No, keep the rule," Jasper countered. "Just learn when and where to use it."

Nicole stared into his eyes; the once gentle gaze now looked like that of a hungry wolf.

"Go change," Jasper said.

"Oh... okay."

"I'm taking a shower."

"Alright."

Jasper didn't waste a second, bolting back into the bathroom for another encounter with a freezing cold shower.

Nicole let out a long, shaky breath and patted her flushed cheeks.

What kind of "occasion" was he talking about for those punishments?

She shook the thought away and decided to get dressed.

She slipped into the sixty-thousand-dollar couture dress that had just been delivered; it fit her so perfectly it might as well have been made for her.

Nicole spotted Cody the moment she stepped downstairs.

"Ms. Shaw," Cody greeted her.

"Where are my toffees?" Nicole asked immediately.

"Right here."

Nicole reached for the bag, but Cody suddenly pulled back as if remembering something. She blinked, her eyes tracking the movement with confusion.

"Ms. Shaw... well, these..." Cody stammered, "I also bought some candy for Mr. Moore. It's, uh, specifically for him."

"What do you mean by 'specifically for him'?"

"You know... candy for men."

Nicole tilted her head, her curiosity piqued. "There's such a thing?"

"Yeah."

"Can I try one? I really want to know what it tastes like."

"Uh, no! You can't have those," Cody blurted out. He felt like he'd stopped breathing.

If Ms. Shaw saw what was actually in the bag, Mr. Moore would definitely break his legs.
