Sebastian reached over and pulled Stephanie into his lap, gently rubbing her soft hair. “Not bad, at least you still have a little conscience left.”

Stephanie’s mouth twitched.

His fingers slowly traced along her neck, brushing

over the faint red marks. “Damn, that bug must’ve been really hungry to

leave all these bites.”

Stephanie’s mind blanked for a second before instantly overheating.

Her face flushed bright red as she slapped his hand away. “Can you not bring that up?”

Sebastian raised a brow. “What? I can’t even mention it?”

Her face burned even hotter.

Sebastian tilted her chin up, making her meet his eyes. That dark gaze felt like it could pull her right in.

Stephanie was already on edge, and now with him looking at her like this, her voice faltered. “Sebastian, you…”

“Why’s your face so red?”

‘Oh my god, is he really gonna keep asking?‘ Flashes of last night popped into her head, making her heart race.

She threw her arms around his neck, buried her face in his shoulder, and mumbled, “Just pretend I have a fever.”

‘Please, just let it go.’

But wait–if he’s asking all this, does that mean… He doesn’t remember what happened after drinking?

That realization instantly soured her mood.

Sebastian reached up to check her temperature. “Having fever? Let me see.”

Stephanie flinched, her mind instantly jumping to something dirty at the word “see“.

She clung to him tighter. “Nope. No fever. I’m fine.”

“Then why’s your face so red?”

‘Seriously, can he drop it already?‘

She quickly changed the subject. “Didn’t you say we’re going somewhere fun to eat? What is it?”

Sebastian chuckled. “You’ll see when we get there.”

Stephanie pouted. “So mysterious.”

They chatted casually the rest of the drive, and about thirty minutes later, they arrived.

Before getting out, Stephanie adjusted her scarf, making sure it covered her neck completely.

The last thing she needed was anyone else commenting on those marks.
