Seeing that Theo was continuing to avoid her gaze, Ellinor furrowed her brows. She cupped his face in her hands, bent down, and pressed her forehead against his, forcing him to look at her.
"Look at me!"
His forehead was burning hot, and the moment their eyes met, a shiver ran through him.
This little vixen was way too close.
Just as he was about to push her away, Ellinor spoke. "Don't move! You're in no condition to be stubborn!"
His evident embarrassment made the veins in his eyes more pronounced. "You...you need to leave!"
Ellinor smirked. "Are you blushing? What will you do without me?"
He clenched his teeth, cursing his current weakness; otherwise, he would have loved to spank this little minx!
Ellinor cupped his face, gently stroking his cheek. "Dummy! Why are you acting shy around me? You used to be quite shameless in such matters."
Marcus was speechless.
Did this little vixen know she was playing with fire?
Ellinor squinted as she looked at him, noticing that his face was covered in sweat.

With that, she pressed her lips against his tight-lipped mouth, lightly biting them in the process.
His eyes widened in shock, and after just a few seconds, he gave in.
This little vixen's kiss was just too sweet.
At this moment, not only was he struggling with the unknown substance in his body, but the flood of memories returning to him were weighing heavily on his mind. Every moment he had spent with the little vixen was slowly coming into view.
His heart ached.
