Mathews' comment. Immediately, his eyes narrowed a little.

He took the phone from her hand and said, “I misjudged you. I'm sorry.” Claudia snorted and made a biting motion.

“I'm going to bite you if you say things Like that again."

Bennett chuckled and promised, "I'll make it up to you."

Claudia's eyes widened in wonder, and she asked, "How will you make it up to me?"

Was he going to buy her something again?

“Like this." Then, the man placed his hand behind her head, bent over, and pulled her in for a kiss.

"Wait!"

Before Claudia could resist, he had already tilted her head and claimed her lips.

There was complete silence in the room except for the sound of their breathing.

She expected a simple kiss but received a passionate one instead. Claudia was starting to feel lightheaded. She let out a muffled noise when Bennett slid his hand under her pajama top.

She shuddered as she realized what was about to happen.

“Baby, do you want me to Light a scented candle?"

Claudia, still reeling from the kiss, replied, “No.”

Bennett wrapped his arms around her and kissed her again to satisfy his desire. When they broke apart, he nibbled her reddening earlobe.

Then, panting heavily, he rested his chin on her shoulder.

Claudia held her breath for what seemed like an eternity as she listened to his gasps.

After a while, Bennett laid her down on the bed and placed a kiss on her forehead. "You're sleepy, right? You can sleep first. I'll take a shower."

Claudia's eyelashes fluttered as she said, "Okay."

Bennett stared at her for a few more seconds before he grabbed his phone and sent a few screenshots to the group chat. Afterward, he fetched his pajamas from the wardrobe and went to the bathroom.

Claudia heard the bathroom door close and looked down at her chest, where the warmth from the man's palm still lingered.

She recalled what had just happened, and then raised her hands to cover her face.

“Seriously, what is wrong with me?" Claudia muttered to herself.

She actually wanted them to go all the way.
