Chapter 26 Steven's First Kiss Was Stolen
Steven handed her a precise amount.
Nora felt like he knew the whole story.
Steven did know, but it was pocket change to him, so he didn't bother putting much effort into it. He transferred $2000 to Nora via his phone.
Nora saw the notification on her phone, smiled, and paid for the bedding set.
"Alright, the bed linens are bought. I'm going to sleep now!" Nora placed her phone on the bedside table, thinking about how she was going to make money soon, her lips curling into a satisfied smile.
Steven shut down his computer. He had already showered and was wearing the loungewear Nora had bought him earlier. He lifted the blanket and lay down.
At first, he thought it was pretty cheap.
But after wearing it twice, he found it okay and continued to wear it.
Steven lay down, and the spot next to him slightly dipped.
Nora was still smiling.
The bedside lamp was still on, and Steven clearly saw the smile on her face, like a cat that had stolen some fish, grinning from ear to ear.
She let out a giggle, probably having a dream about striking it rich!
Steven found it amusing and poked her clean face.
"Don't mess with me!" Nora swatted Steven's finger away, giggling, "I'm going to be rich."
"When I make money, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Who are you treating to dinner?" Steven leaned down, frowning at her pretty little face.
Nora was fast asleep, murmuring, "I'll treat you to dinner."
"Who exactly are you treating?" Steven insisted on knowing the answer, holding her hands down on the mattress, "Nora, answer me."
"I'll treat a handsome guy to dinner."
Steven looked displeased. "Who's the handsome guy?"
"It's..." Nora mumbled foolishly, "Handsome guy, of course, it's my husband, Steven."
Steven was speechless, but the gloom between his brows dissipated, and he felt pretty good.
He tucked Nora in and turned his back to her.
After some time, Nora snuggled closer, hugging his waist and resting her chin on his back, gently rubbing.
Steven stiffened, hearing her say, "The steak is so good, bite..."
Was she actually mistaking him for a steak?
Steven's handsome face darkened as she snuggled closer, nudging him hard.
Her soft little hands roamed his waist, slipping inside his pajamas, touching his firm abs...
Steven's body grew more rigid.
What was she doing? Desperately seeking his body?
Steven's ears turned red.
He really wanted to throw her out.
But vaguely, he felt he didn't entirely reject her touch. If it were another woman, he would've thrown her out long ago.
Nora kept touching, getting more and more outrageous, until she reached...
Steven's breath hitched, grabbing her mischievous hand, suppressing his voice, "Nora!"
Nora was in a deep sleep, dreaming of making lots of money and having a feast.
She was biting a piece of steak, rubbing against Steven's back, but couldn't eat it, getting anxious and pushing forward, "I want to eat..."
Steven's breathing became erratic.
She wanted to eat?
Eat him?
She must be dreaming!
Steven tightly held her hand, turned around, panting as he looked at her.
Nora kept her eyes closed, murmuring happily, "I want to eat, eat a big steak..."
Steven squinted at her, "Are you pretending? Trying to sleep with me?"
Nora kept giggling, "Big steak..."
No matter how much Steven questioned her, she just kept repeating, "Big steak."
It seemed she was really dreaming.
Steven couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
He thought she wanted to sleep with him!
He released Nora's hand, and she turned over, hugging the blanket and gnawing on it.
Steven's face darkened. With such poor sleep habits, who would dare sleep with her in the future?
Morning.
Nora woke up.
She was clinging to Steven like an octopus, their heads close together, in a rather intimate position.
Nora was shocked. How could she be hugging Steven?
This...
Nora was stunned, staring at Steven.
Then, Steven opened his eyes, his light gray pupils beautiful as the sky.
Nora was mesmerized.
"Nora." Steven looked at her ominously.
"What?" She snapped back to reality, immediately releasing her hold on Steven, who finally regained his freedom.
"You were hugging me all night. What's wrong with you?" Steven squinted, seeing her about to leave, he pulled her back, trapping her beneath him.
Last night, she even bit his lip.
Steven wanted to settle the score!
Nora was pinned beneath Steven, her nightgown hiked up to her waist, with only her underwear underneath.
Being held down, Nora's face turned red, "I don't know, I must've been dreaming?"
"Dreaming?" Steven looked at her coldly, "You made my lip look like this. How do you plan to compensate?"
"Your lip?" She glanced at his lip; it was broken. Nora asked, "Did I hit you last night?"
"You bit me." Steven glared at her from above.
Nora's eyes widened, feeling a bit lost, "I really don't remember."
She had no recollection of her dream last night.
Steven's gaze was icy.
She was probably too hungry last night, dreaming about food, and ended up biting his lip.
Steven felt like he was struck by lightning, completely immobilized.
But he didn't entirely reject it; her lips were sweet. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain, and Nora bit his lip.
Steven then realized she had mistaken him for food.
So he was even more annoyed.
His first kiss was taken, and he was mistaken for a steak?
When had Steven ever endured such humiliation?
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He pinned Nora down and bit her lips, "You bit me, so I'm going to bite you!"
He kissed her.
Nora's eyes widened.
Moreover, Steven's tongue slipped in, entangling with hers. Nora, dazed, kissed him back.
Steven's distinct hands held her head tight.
The kiss was passionate.
Nora felt shy but didn't know how to refuse. Steven was her husband, and she had to endure his kiss.
After a while, his hand slipped inside her nightgown.
She had touched his abs last night, so he had to touch back.
Nora stiffened, her whole body trembling, "Steven..."
She stammered, "Didn't you say we won't fulfill marital duties until we have feelings?"
"You touched my abs last night." Steven said righteously, "I have to touch back."
"Then just touch my waist..." Her voice was soft, making people want to protect her. Why pinch her?
"You need to learn a lesson." His voice was hoarse.
Nora trembled hard, pleading, "I won't dare anymore, I'm sorry, please let me go..."
