But seeing her like this, made him want to take her so bad.

Caught in the whirlwind of joy and tenderness, Alexis nearly lost track of her surroundings and everything else. Only one name echoed in her thought... Leonel.

Everything then calmed down.

Leonel kissed her ear and whispered, "You've worked up quite a sweat."

Her skin felt silky to the touch.

Alexis was slightly disoriented. Her breath was rapid, and her gaze was distant and blurry.

Unable to resist, Leonel leaned in for a kiss.

Their lips met and merged in a gentle dance. It took a while before Alexis fully regained her composure. She then rested her head on his shoulder and whispered, “Leonel...”

"Come on; taste yourself," he urged her.

Gently, Leonel pressed his lips to hers and kissed her with tenderness and patience. After a few minutes, she was unable to resist and rose to meet his advances.

The night was filled with soft, romantic moments.

Though they did not have sex, Leonel was able to please her.

The following morning, Alexis woke up to an empty bed.

Leonel was gone, and the hotel room was shrouded in silence. It was only then that she noticed a velvet box resting by her pillow.

The box was small and finely crafted.

Alexis carefully lifted it and opened the lid.

Inside lay a pear-shaped diamond ring, approximately six carats. It had a flawless cut and was dazzled in brilliance.

Alexis gazed at it for a long time.

She slipped it onto her ring finger and found it fit perfectly.

She reclined and lifted her hand to admire the ring for quite some time. It was obvious she liked it.
