Chapter 123

Ian’s puppy–like devotion to pleasing her was almost too much–he’d gone all out with his look, all just to win her over, and wow, was it working.

Yolanda had never been intentionally teased or flirted with like this before, and honestly, she couldn’t handle

it.

Then lan leaned in, the soft, hazy light making his intentions

Crustal clear. “Shall I?” he murmured.

Yolanda swallowed, and honestly, there was no way she could say no to that.

Time seemed to blur into one big, hazy mess.

After it was all over.

Ian glanced over and asked, “Did you like it?”

Yolanda felt like she was about to lose herself completely, as if he’d stolen her soul.

Her vision was hazy, as if she were a kite lost in a sea of clouds, drifting aimlessly with nowhere to focus.

Ian’s fingers played with her hair, lazily twirling stray locks–each touch making her heart skip.

Yolanda lay there for ages, struggling just to steady her breath.

Their eyes locked, and the air between them grew heavy, sparking with something electric.

Yolanda’s face flared red, embarrassment and irritation mixing as she instinctively tried to shove him away.

Ian nuzzled deeper into her neck, whining softly, “Come on, cut me some slack. Just stay put.”

Yolanda froze, her mind racing as she realized what he meant.

The bedside lamp was still on, casting a gentle light. Ian stayed quiet for a long moment before finally whispering, “So… did you like it?”

“Yeah…” she answered, her voice barely audible as she buried half her face in the blankets, cheeks on fire.

Ian let out a low chuckle, his chest trembling with laughter.

Yolanda was all flustered and a tiny bit annoyed, but the exhaustion hit her hard. With half her face tucked in the blankets, she dozed off, cheeks still burning.

Ian settled in next to her, letting his eyes drink in every delicate detail of her face. He reached over to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

She was unbelievably cute and downright gorgeous–and even when she got mad, she couldn’t utter a mean word.
