Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

Xyla Quest looked at Stanley Batton briefly before subconsciously glancing around. She then rubbed her eyes gently. "Is the meeting over?" she asked.

"Yeah..." Stanley answered softly.

"When did I fall asleep?" Xyla asked.

"You fell asleep not long after dinner..." Stanley said.

"Oh." With that, Xyla naturally wrapped her arms around Stanley's neck. After that, she looked at the bodyguards behind them embarrassedly. "Put me down. I can walk on my own," she said.

"Let me hold you for a while." Stanley had no intention of putting her down. His gaze never left her, and the look in his eyes was full of gentleness.

Xyla didn't say anything further. She let him carry her while she enjoyed the warmth of his embrace.

"Is there anything else you'd like to eat, hmm?" Stanley asked.

"Do you want me to become a pig? I just had dinner, and you're asking me to eat again," Xyla complained softly.

Stanley smiled. "I was just afraid you might be hungry."

"I'm not a pig. Why would I get hungry so easily?" Xyla said.
