Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 408
Chapter 408: Chapter 409 Just Once l
Purple Summers naturally refused.
She felt shy and wanted to get down, lying on this strong and sturdy body made her uncomfortable all over, her cheeks flushing with heat, burning her face red and ears crimson.
Alexander Summers was not in a hurry, his large palm slowly caressed her waist, gently coaxing, “Purple, kiss me, just once…”
Purple Summers then felt some hesitation.
A kiss in exchange for a life, actually, seemed like a good deal.
The most important thing was that Alexander Summers was a man who wouldn’t give up until he achieved his goal. If she didn’t kiss him today, not to mention leaving the room, she feared even this bed would be off-limits according to Alexander Summers.
Purple Summers struggled for a moment and asked, “Just once?”
“Mhm, just once,” Alexander Summers said.
“One kiss, and you’re not allowed to get angry over dinner again, no retaliation, no stirring things up, and no bringing up the past afterwards,” Purple Summers negotiated with him.
Alexander Summers agreed to it all.
“Close your eyes,” Purple Summers commanded.
Alexander Summers obediently closed his eyes.
He waited quietly, the corners of his mouth faintly turned up, and his handsome face no longer held the cold sternness from before but seemed somewhat warmer.
Purple Summers slowly lowered her head, holding her breath…
Her heart was pounding wildly, so wildly that she could barely think.
Thump, thump, thump…
Thump, thump, thump…
Lips were mere inches apart.
“I can’t.” At the last moment, Purple Summers backed out, her face flushed red as she feigned disgust, “Your mouth tastes like smoke, I don’t want to kiss.” Alexander Summers, having been teased to the limit, gripped her waist tightly, suddenly flipped over to press her down, and sealed her complaining lips with his.
…And then, he tasted the lingering flavor of sake mixed with the sweetness of the girl.
The kiss lasted a long time, markedly different than before, less resistant, more welcoming—a heady, passionate entanglement that naturally stirred Alexander Summers’ emotions.
His hand roamed under her clothes, along her warm smooth skin, he buried his head in her thick cool hair, kissing her near greedily.
Perhaps too engrossed, the usually vigilant Alexander Summers failed to notice the faint steps in the hallway until a knock on the door caused Purple Summers to bolt upright in bed!
“…Purple? Are you there?”
It was a false alarm; Atra Blanc was knocking on the neighboring door.
But if Atra Blanc couldn’t find Purple Summers, she would definitely come to Alexander Summers’ room!
As expected, after knocking a few times, Atra Blanc made her way to Alexander Summers’ room.
The two rooms were only a few steps apart!
All color had drained from Purple Summers’ face.
She frantically arranged her hair and fumbled with the buttons of her top which had come undone, but the more flustered she became, the more mistakes she made! She couldn’t fasten the buttons, Atra Blanc’s footsteps were drawing closer, and she was on the verge of tears from panic!
How could she explain this disheveled appearance if Atra Blanc saw her?!
Initially, Alexander Summers didn’t care, thinking, let his mother see if she sees, it’s a good opportunity to come clean. But seeing Purple Summers’ panic- stricken helplessness softened his heart, and he reached for Purple Summers’ arm…
Like a startled rabbit, Purple Summers violently shook off his hand!
—His mother was nearly here, and he was still causing trouble!
Purple Summers was truly about to cry!
Alexander Summers frowned slightly, then swiftly lifted Purple Summers by the waist and tossed her onto the bed, covering her with the wide, thick blanket before she could react.
“Alexander, have you seen Purple? She’s not in her room,” Atra Blanc walked in, pausing when she saw Alexander Summers lying lazily on the bed.
“She might be in the bathroom,” Alexander Summers replied casually.
“No, she’s not there.”
“Then she’s probably playing with Tiny in the garden.”
“Ah, that child… It’s so cold outside, I don’t know if she dressed warmly… I made her some rock sugar snow pear, left it in her room, remember to tell her to eat it.”
As footsteps receded, Atra Blanc left.
Alexander Summers lifted the blanket, revealing Purple Summers’ flushed face.
