Love's Change of Heart

Leanna instinctively turned and shielded the box, staring at Aidan. “It’s nothing. Freddie mentioned a craving for seafood, so I ordered some online. I’m planning to invite them over for a meal at home in a few days, so… I bought it and kept it.”

Aidan didn’t ponder over her words and simply replied, “As long as there’s food, it’s good enough. Who gave him the right to be picky?”

A smile graced Leanna’s lips as she led him toward the living room. “Alright, he has been enduring a lot during this time. It’s only right to thank him properly.”

Seizing the moment, Aidan encircled her waist, pressing her onto the couch. He gently pinched her chin, his voice low and seductive as he spoke. “I, too, have been enduring a lot during this time. Why haven’t you rewarded me?”

Leanna met his gaze, her eyes shimmering with moisture. “You always return when I’m already asleep. How can I cook for you? Perhaps I can make some soup for you tomorrow, so when you return…”

Aidan’s dark eyes locked onto hers as he parted his lips slowly. “Is that what I’m referring to?”

It had already been a month since his departure to Jamesdon and his subsequent return.

As Aidan’s words hung in the air, the atmosphere instantaneously shifted with their entangled breaths growing fervent.

When his lips descended upon hers, Leanna surrendered, closing her eyes and delicately draping her arms around his neck in response. His hands brushed against her tender skin, igniting sensations of warmth and quivers that danced through her being.

With each scorching kiss trailing along her neck, Leanna’s breaths grew heavier. She instinctively clutched at his shirt near his waist, teeth sinking into her lower lip to stifle any inadvertent sounds.

In a heartbeat, Aidan lifted her, his lips nibbling her earlobe playfully as he whispered, “Shall we go back to the room?”

Leanna offered no words in response. Her eyes shimmered with a veil of mist as she pressed him back onto the couch, their lips melding once more in a fervent embrace, accompanied by her nimble fingers undoing his shirt button by button.

Aidan’s eyebrows were slightly arched; he had rarely witnessed such boldness from her. With one hand still encircling her waist, his other hand ventured along the contours of her body, tracing invisible paths of desire.

Before long, Leanna seemed to lose her strength; she collapsed against his chest, her breathing growing heavier, and a soft moan escaped her throat.

The voice that was filled with a teasing tone caressed her ears as his fingers continued their mischievous dance. “Does it feel comfortable?”
