Perplexed, she stood there until Theodore entered the room. Taking her by the hand, he guided her to his own room, saying, “This is where you'll stay from now on."

Ariana then noticed, to her surprise, that all her belongings had been neatly arranged in his room, even her cherished stuffed toys. Moreover Theodore had thoughtfully prepared everything she might need, from seasonal clothes to a personalized study desk. The meticulous attention to detail made it evident that he had been planning this for quite some time.

As the realization of her special place in his life dawned on her, warmth and joy overflowed in Ariana's heart. Emotions swirling within her like a tempest, Ariana found herself irresistibly drawn to Theodore. In a moment of spontaneity, she grasped his collar and planted a tender kiss upon his Lips, brimming with affection.

Though she initially intended to pull away from him after the sweet exchange of affection, Ariana found herself buried in Theodore's warm embrace. The kiss deepened, and she couldn't resist tightening her grip on his collar, surrendering to the intoxicating sensations that enveloped her. A soft, involuntary moan escaped her Lips as she felt Theodore's hands delicately caress her waist.

Yet, amidst the ardor of their embrace, Theodore's keen perception detected a shift in the atmosphere. Responding instinctively, he gently disengaged from the kiss, gazing into Ariana's flushed countenance, her skin warm to the touch. A trickle of blood escaped from her nose.
