Chapter 497

After a thorough and, admittedly, invigorating sex, Seraphina finally gave in to the moment's exhaustion. She let herself be cradled by Leandro in the warm embrace of a bubble bath, her body relaxed against his chest as she drifted into a light slumber.

Leandro, with one arm casually draped over the edge of the tub and the other hand gently combing through her damp hair, leaned in and whispered, "Are you satisfied now?"

Caught in the fog of comfort, it took a moment for Seraphina to register his words. "Hm?"

"Weren't you worried I wouldn't be up to the task?" Leandro teased. "Did I meet your expectations for stamina?"

A huff escaped Seraphina before she retorted, "The cologne on your suit is so mature, it has to be the choice of a woman over forty. I was never scared."

Leandro pinched her waist in response, causing Seraphina to yelp and bury herself in his embrace before adding, "I bet it's Aunt Celeste's scent, isn't it?"

Indeed, who else but Celeste Reynolds would be in such close quarters with Leandro and be over forty? It was the only name that came to Seraphina's mind.

Leandro cast his gaze downward and hummed in tacit agreement, choosing not to elaborate further.

That was confirmation enough.

Seraphina fought back a chuckle, then slowly lifted her twisted ankle. "You see, unlike you, who only has his aunt, I had a handsome stranger tend to my foot after I sprained it today."
