Chapter 563
Aria wrapped her arms around his neck, tilting her head slightly. With a playful smile, she said, “Not leaving.”
Owen let out a soft chuckle, lifting his hand from the edge of the bed to gently cup the back of her neck.
Aria arched her neck back, her eyes meeting Owen’s.
Owen leaned in, and just as his lips were about to touch hers, Aria pulled away.
Aria murmured, “The door’s not locked.”
Owen pressed a kiss to her earlobe, his voice low and husky as he murmured, “I’ll handle it.”
The door clicked shut and locked.
Owen leaned in again, closing the distance between them.
He captured her lips, savoring them as if tasting something exquisitely sweet-gentle and unhurried, applying just the right amount of pressure.
When he’d had his fill of her lips, he deepened the kiss, drawing her in as they both lost themselves in each other.
He knelt by the bed, making Aria crane her neck upward.
It was an awkward position.
Sensing her discomfort, Owen slid a hand beneath her waist, stood up, and sat on the bed, pulling her onto his lap.
The new position was far more comfortable.
Time seemed to stretch endlessly before he released her lips, his heated breath trailing from her earlobe downward.
His fingertips found her shoulder strap, slipping it aside.
The nightlight remained on, casting their entwined silhouettes onto the wall.
Another half hour passed.
Aria grew a little impatient and playfully pinched his ear. “Are we still going to keep it up, or what? If not, I’m just going to bed.”
Owen caught her meaning immediately. Withdrawing his hand, he gripped her waist and murmured suggestively, “Should I… go get a condom?”
Speechless, Aria thought to herself, ‘By the time he gets back, the mood will be long gone.
She pressed a hand to Owen’s shoulder. “If we aren’t doing it, just say so. I’ll go back to my room.”
But as she started to get up, Owen pulled her back into his arms.
“We are,” he murmured, not letting go.
Owen cradled Aria in his arms as he carried her out of the bathroom and gently laid her on the bed. “Did I tire you out?” he said softly.
Carapici JUD
Aria half-closed her eyes, rolled them in exasperation, and turned her back to Owen, gritting her teeth against the soreness.
Owen snuggled under the covers, pulled her into his arms, and gently rubbed her waist. “Madelyn,” he murmured, “my bad.”
“Let’s sleep. I’ve got work tomorrow,” she muttered tiredly.
Aria’s voice was weak and a bit hoarse, but not too bad-after all, it was her mind that had taken the beating.
She thought, ‘He’s utterly exhausting-I might as well be the guy here.
Owen grinned, “You only have class in the afternoon tomorrow, so you can sleep in.”
He knew she had no morning classes-that’s what made him bold enough to do this. “The soundproofing at Mayen Garden is legendary. Not that we were even that loud anyway.”
“Enough,” Aria muttered.
She admitted to herself, ‘Fine, I was the one who got seduced after all!
“Alright,” Owen murmured softly. “Go to sleep.”
In her sleep, Aria felt the hand that had been massaging her waist trail down to her leg. Groggily, she grabbed the mischievous hand and mumbled, “Looking for a beating?”
“Nope,” Owen replied softly.
They lay half an arm’s length apart.
Owen said, “Just relax and get some sleep. Let me massage your legs, or you’ll be sore tomorrow.”
