She couldn't resist returning the kiss.

After a prolonged moment, Leonel couldn't help but inquire in a hoarse voice, "Are you okay?"

In reality, he wanted to ask about the sex, but the words wouldn't come out. The topic felt too delicate, even for the most intimate of partners.

Alexis held his handsome face and said earnestly, “Though not as how it used to be, I did enjoy it."

In response, Leonel tenderly kissed her.

She kissed back and asked in a soft voice, "And you? Are you satisfied?"

"Absolutely!"

Leonel affirmed, assisting Alexis with her attire before dressing himself. Finally, he secured the lid of the small tube and stowed it away in his pocket. "Where did you find this? It's rather handy, wouldn't you agree?"

Alexis was rendered speechless by his response.

When they returned to the house, Leonel expressed his desire to carry her upstairs. Alexis gently patted his hand and remarked, “Aren't you exhausted after our intense workout in the garage?"

Leonel offered a faint smile and escorted her into the elevator.

After returning to the bedroom, Alexis headed straight for the shower.

Suddenly, it dawned on Leonel that the back seat of the car was likely quite a mess after their session. Worried that the servants might stumble upon the scene while cleaning the garage in the morning, he hurried back to tidy up the car.

When he came back, Leonel found Alexis already finished with her shower, seated in front of the dresser, applying skin care products to her face.

Approaching her from behind, he enveloped Alexis in his arms.

Nuzzling her neck, he murmured softly, “We should start getting Cordelia accustomed to sleeping in her own room. I can hardly wait to make love to you in our bed."

Alexis turned to face Leonel and encircled her arms around his neck.

"You're quite the charmer, aren't you? Besides, you seemed to enjoy it when we had sex in the car," she remarked with a smirk.

His smile widened slightly at her words.

Despite being apart for two years and wanting her like crazy, Leonel still cared deeply about Alexis’ feelings. He understood that if she didn't want it, he shouldn't pressure her into having sex with him.
