Filled with enthusiasm, he desired to repeat the experience, feeling the contact of his body against hers. Wrapping her arms around his neck, Alexis whispered, "Not again! Leonel, you're quite mischievous."

A soft chuckle escaped Leonel's Lips.

In the cozy embrace of the night, under the quilt, it felt Like heaven. Alexis playfully nudged him. "No plans to escape, huh?"

Softly, Leonel pressed his lips against hers.

Eventually, he leaned in again, capturing her lips. He asked, “Still want me to leave, or are you having second thoughts?"

With affection in her gaze, Alexis smiled back at him.

Playfully, he ran a hand over her shoulder and joked, "After all those rounds, my legs won't carry me home. I'm stuck with you."

Blushing, Alexis shot back, "If you're not keen on leaving, stay put.

Shouldn't you be ashamed of your dirty talk?"

A grin spread across Leonel's face.

Softly brushing his fingers against her lips, he planted a tender kiss before placing his forehead against hers. With a gentle tone, he remarked, “You weren't this shy when you did it with me just now.

What's this? Are you trying to knock down the Ladder?"

Trying to turn away, Alexis was caught in his gaze. In the bedroom's soft glow, he stared at her with playful intensity.

Clarity shone through his eyes.

His eyes spoke of both love and desire.

Surrendering to his gaze, Alexis leaned over his shoulder. Whispering, she pondered, “Are you really Leonel? Feels different somehow."

Young Leonel was nothing like this.

Even after returning from Acoiclya, he wasn't the same.

A sense of unreality crept over Alexis.

Leonel's heart skipped a beat, a mix of bitter and sweet emotions washing over him.
