Alexis' long legs hung in the air.

Words eluded her, prompting Leonel to step closer, his hand gently resting on her legs.

His gaze penetrated deeply into hers.

Speaking on her behalf, he asked, “Alexis, do you wish to be with me?"

Alexis' lips quivered.

After a moment, she reached out, lightly gripping his shoulders and gazing up at him. She still hesitated to utter those compromising words, unwilling to admit it.

Leonel refrained from pressuring her.

Lowering his head, he tenderly kissed her lips with a soft touch.

In the quiet, vacant office, only their quiet breaths resonated, creating a beautiful ambiance.

Leonel embraced her, pulling her closer.

They were in such close proximity, their hearts nearly synchronizing.

It was almost overpowering!

His lips brushed against her ear. “Alexis, you're finally mine!"

Not in the context of lingering and indulging in a consensual physical relationship but in the sense of a lifelong commitment, devoted and faithful to each other.

Alexis' eyes glistened with emotion.

Her longing for Leonel was intense, yet she was too proud and surrendering herself to him felt almost unbearable.

Meanwhile, Leonel appeared to possess boundless patience.

He continued to kiss her, gradually eroding all her defenses and reservations.

Eventually, she relented, allowing herself to be enveloped in a passionate kiss.

The coffee had long since turned cold.
