Chapter: 239
Her voice was soft, softening his heart.
“Want me to carry you?"
"Yes." Norah stretched out her arms, a silent plea for him to scoop her up in his embrace.
Sean obliged, bending down and lifting Norah with his sturdy arms.
She nestled into his chest, feeling like she was wrapped in the warmth of kinship.
“Could you open the door?"
Sean, uncertain of Norah's bedroom's whereabouts, settled her onto the sofa in the living room, helping her straighten her tousled hair.
Norah, still half-asleep, squinted but remained unroused.
Given the sweltering summer heat, Sean reckoned it wasn't risky for Norah to slumber in the living quarters to avoid catching a chill.
After a moment's pondering, Sean made a trip to the bathroom, fetching a damp cloth to tenderly dab at Norah's face.
His embarrassment grew as he realized Norah hadn't yet removed her makeup, now smeared by his ministrations with the wet cloth in hand.
Sean's hand halted in midair as he observed the scene, unsure of how to proceed in removing her cosmetics.
“Norah, wake up, tidy yourself, and head upstairs for some sleep," he suggested, attempting to rouse her.
However, his attempts proved futile. With Little knowledge of women's cosmetics, Sean found himself at a loss as to how to clean Norah's face.
Norah, stirring impatiently, cracked open her eyes, their depths clouded with the remnants of inebriation. "Am I dreaming?" she muttered groggily. “Why am I dreaming again?"
As Sean pondered her use of “again,” he suddenly felt a pair of arms encircle his neck.
Turning his head, he beheld Norah's striking countenance, unadorned by makeup and inherently captivating.
Struggling to maintain distance, Sean grasped her shoulders, gently pushing her back. “Norah, listen..."
“Are we playing hard to get today? I'm game!" Norah interjected with a mischievous grin. “Let's indulge a little!"
"No " Sean's protestations were cut short by Norah's Lips meeting his, igniting an unexpectedly intimate atmosphere.
"Mm..." Norah hummed softly, her breath warm against his skin as she tightened her embrace.
Unable to resist, Sean succumbed to her fervent kiss, the air thick with desire.
She tried to push in her lips and use her gentle tongue to open his mouth.
It was like daytime in the villa. The beautiful woman with enticing eyes and the distant man with constrained dignity clung to each other.
