Subsequently, she reclined against his chest, attuned to the rhythmic pulsations of his heartbeat.

Embracing her, Leonel used one hand to call room service, ordering food for them.

Alexis silently encircled her arms around his waist.

After hanging up, Leonel gazed down at her, asking, "Did you miss me?"

"A bit!"

Alexis wasn't one to engage in playing hard to get. She whispered, "I returned to the apartment, and it felt so empty. I just wanted to come and see you!"

Leonel sighed. “Just as clingy as you were as a child."

Alexis playfully pulled at his shirt collar and said, "Mr. Douglas, I'm not fond of the scent on you. Please freshen up within 10 minutes. Otherwise, you might have to vacate this suite."

"I booked this room!

Miss Fowler, let me remind you. There's only one bed in this suite!

"Hal So what there's only one bed? It's not like I came here specifically to sleep with you.”

"So we draw a line on bed between us tonight?"

Expressing himself with genuine sincerity, Leonel elicited Laughter from Alexis, who playfully remarked, “Leonel, since when did you turn so annoying?"

Leonel started unbuttoning his shirt and strolled towards the bathroom, casually stating, "I have limited energy! Guys need to look after themselves as well!"

Alexis burst into uncontrollable laughter.

She embraced a cushion, rolling on the sofa, her face turning red as she leaned against the pillow.

In reality, she experienced a distinct yearning when they kissed.

She was inclined to take action.

Was she really that thirsty? No, she was only 28. She shouldn't be!

It had to be attributed to Leonel's influence.
