Chapter 70
Leandro walked right past her, opened the door to Valerio’s room, took a look, presumably to see Valerio peacefully asleep, and then closed the door again. He paced back and forth, approaching her then distancing himself again.
Seraphina looked up at him, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, “Your shower gel smells amazing, what’s the brand?”
As she spoke, she got a grip on the belt of Leandro’s robe and started to fiddle with it.
Leandro looked down at her actions, then looked back up with a slightly gloomy expression.
Seraphina was amused and even more reluctant to let go. “Do you really think that with Aunt Florence here, I wouldn’t dare to touch you?” Leandro finally spoke, his voice low and slightly hoarse.
Seraphina still had a smile at the corner of her mouth, “Do you, Mr. Reynolds, really want to laste the thrill of a bloody battle?”
“There’s more than one way to share a bed,” Leandro said slowly.
Seraphina’s hand movement paused for a moment as she gazed at him.
“Besides,” Leandro’s hand slowly gripped her chin, “it’s not like we haven’t tried before.”
That sentence brought back a rush of memories..
Those embarrassing and awkward past moments, buried deep in her memory, suddenly surfaced, leaving Seraphina a little breathless.
Leandro glanced at her, released her hand, and turned to leave.
Seraphina snapped back to reality and chuckled.
“How could it be the same?” Seraphina said, “After all, back then, I wasn’t as annoying to Mr. Reynolds as I am now, right?”
Leandro paused and looked back at her.
Seraphina didn’t back down, meeting his gaze provocatively.
By the time Seraphina realized how reckless she was being, she was already back in Leandro’s bed.
