454 She Cannot Steal Him From Me
I pulled back awkwardly while he rested his hands around me on the bed and tried looking into my eyes.
“Now!” I said, holding my breath in and forcing a calming smile onto my lips.
“Now what?” he asked, making me narrow my eyes in his face.
“You said you will give Thiago his body back if I kiss you,” | pouted, reminding him of his deal.
“What? When did I say I would do that?” He pouted, rubbing his finger over his lips, and then licked the taste of me.
“But you—- we were talking about you releasing Thiago, and you asked me for a kiss. I thought you meant a trade,” I mumbled in amusement.
“First, you were talking about releasing him, and last, I saw you talk and look so cute, so I asked you for a kiss. There was no trade,” he shrugged, trying to look innocent when my glare turned his face to the other side.
