Chapter 194 A Kiss As Answer

“But you’re the only one I like.”

Stella cupped his face and kissed him softly.

He started to deepen the kiss, but she pulled back slightly, her fingers trailing down to his abs.

“You’re jealous.” Her eyes were soft and playful, her lips curving into a teasing smile as she looked up at him. “You need to be coaxed to sweeten up.”

Stella laughed softly. “Elias, I don’t coax other men.”

Elias narrowed his eyes, a hint of disappointment in his gaze.

“But I’ll coax my husband.”

With that, she slipped out of his arms and ran a few steps, glancing back at him with a grin. “Wait until you’re my husband.”

She had just run up the stairs when Elias caught up quickly, his large hand wrapping around her slim waist to pull her close.

“That tickles!”

“Call him Simon Vance from now on.”

“Is it illegal to call him Simon?”

“It is in my book. So you’ll take your punishment.”

He laid her down on the bed, caging her in his arms, and kissed her fiercely, the touch growing more intense by the second.

Elias took a sharp breath and jumped off the bed quickly.

Stella leaned against the headboard, smiling triumphantly.

“Mr. Cross, the bathroom is to the left when you get off the bed.”

He brushed his warm lips gently, the heat in his eyes making the air thick with tension. “Tll get you back next Saturday.”

Stella blinked. “Want me to add ice to your shower?”

“There’s dessert in the fridge. Go have some first.”

“Got it, Mr. Old–Fashioned.”

Elias fell silent.

Stuck with a cold shower, he questioned his choices.

9:39 am Pppp.

AmI really too conservative?

No. Iam not some old relic.

I want the right moment. The proper ceremony.

I want Stella to remember our first time forever.

She values innocence, so this matters deeply.

Stella ate dessert, glancing up toward the second floor every few minutes.

She wondered how he was doing.

After a moment, she mixed a glass of wine and took it up to him.

“Elias.”

The bathroom door was open, but he wasn’t there.

She turned around and crashed straight into his chest. The red wine sloshed, spilling a little onto his chest.

Crystal droplets slid down his strong frame. The cold air hitting her face left her frozen.

“For me?”

“Mm–hmm.” She nodded quickly, swallowing hard unconsciously.

His figure was better than an international model’s.

His face he was so unfairly handsome.

“Elias, the gossip says you broke numerous girls‘ hearts. Is that true?”

Elias frowned. What nonsense?

“They say you got so many love letters in high school that the cleaners complained. The trash cans were always overflowing, and the staff couldn’t keep up. The school even issued a notice about it. Really?”

“That did happen.” Elias drank the cold red wine, drying his hair as he spoke.

“So many people chased you, and you didn’t like any of them?” Stella’s eyes widened in surprise.

“I didn’t care for them.”

“Why do you like me, then?”

“Want to know?”

“Mm–hmm.” She was genuinely curious.

Elias held the back of her head and kissed her lips gently.

9:39 am P ppp.

“This is the answer.”

Stella blinked, looking at him confused, not understanding.

“Because…” He pinched her cheek softly, smiling fondly. “You’re the only one I feel this way for.”

“So that time in Haven’s Rest–you fell for me at first sight?”

“I think so.” Elias wasn’t entirely sure, but he knew she felt different from anyone else.
