Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 213: Romance by the Sea

Tonight, Aurora seemed truly happy, sharing many past memories with Julian, who played the role of a quiet listener throughout their conversation. By the time she reached her fourth drink, he knew she was approaching her limit-one more, and she would be drunk.

"Alright, no more drinking," Julian intervened. He was all too familiar with the downsides of overindulgence and did not want her to feel unwell.

"Then I'll stop here," Aurora conceded, though slightly reluctant, already feeling a bit tipsy.

"Good girl," Julian said, standing and offering her his hand. Aurora placed her hand in his, and together they strolled along the seaside.

The air by the sea was fresher than in the bustling city, and the unique scent of the ocean made Aurora feel wonderfully at ease. Her mind seemed to clear a bit, and she impulsively kicked off her shoes to walk freely on the sand. As the soft, loose sand slipped through her toes, she reveled in the sensation.

Julian hadn't seen Aurora this relaxed in a long time. A faint smile played on his lips as he watched her gradually revert to her old self.

"Aurora, don't run so fast, there are no lights over there," Julian called out, worry filling his voice as he saw her sprinting into the distance, and he quickly chased after her.

The villa area there was still unoccupied, hence the street lights were off and it was eerily quiet, the only visibility provided by moonlight casting a silhouette.

The soft moonlight draped over her, making her appear like a fairy under its glow. "What's there to fear? There's no one around, no cars; no one will see me, and even if they do, they won't know who I am. Here, I can let go of all pretenses and just be myself without worrying about others' stares," Aurora declared with a childlike exuberance.

"Yes, yes, whatever you wish," Julian sped up to match her pace. From behind, he playfully tackled her onto the sandy beach. "You've reminded me, since there's no one around, maybe we could..."

"Rascal," Aurora chided softly, yet she didn't push him away but instead pulled him down in front of her.

"So, Young Master Barnet, what would you like to do?" Perhaps it was the alcohol, her head was already spinning slightly.
