Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 520

The morning light broke through the clouds, spilling over the landscape in a warm embrace. Clothes were scattered from the living room couch to the foot of the bedroom bed.

Mostly men's garments, with the exception of a single women's robe.

York blinked awake, the memories of last night's wild adventures bringing a smirk to his lips.

He glanced at the woman sleeping beside him, her features softened in a way he hadn't noticed on himself before.

Leda was still in the realm of dreams, her breathing deep and even.

His gaze lingered on her beautiful face before drifting to her neck, marked with the signs of last night's passion.

York was no longer a young boy, nor was he at an age where physical attraction was everything, but last night he was like a beast tasting meat for the first time, unstoppable.

It wasn't until Leda slapped him that he finally calmed down.

It hurt, sure, but the thrill was undeniable.

With a wider smile, he gently kissed her forehead, then slipped out of bed, making sure not to wake her as he left the room.

In the kitchen, York prepared two bowls of ramen, turning to place them on the table just as he noticed Leda leaning against the doorframe in a silk slip dress.

It was unclear how long she had been standing there.
