Heart pounding, emotions stirring, the gentle night breeze brought with it the moonlight that spilled through the window and scattered across the room. The figures on the bed entwined as sweet nothings were whispered amidst ambiguous breaths.
The next morning, Jane groaned as she opened her eyes but didn’t see Patrick’s figure immediately. She blinked and was about to get up when she felt a soreness all over her body.
Patrick walked in at that moment, having just taken a shower with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Jane looked up at him and saw ambiguous marks on his muscular skin which made her blush.
“Awake?” Patrick approached and planted a slightly damp kiss on Jane’s forehead.
“Why aren’t you wearing clothes?” Jane blushed even more and buried herself under the covers.
Seeing this reaction from Jane, Patrick chuckled lightly. “Shy? You saw everything yesterday.”
Thinking back to how he had kept her up until late last night, Jane became even shyer and punched at Patrick with clenched fists.
Patrick caught hold of her fist easily before kissing it gently near his lips. “I made breakfast; let’s eat together.”
Hearing this invitation from him, instead of getting out of bed right away like he expected her to do so, she buried herself deeper into the covers while flashing an impish smile towards him.
“Patrick,” she said in an alluring tone with a hint of coquettishness in it.
Patrick cleared his throat calmly while gazing intently at Jane wondering what other tricks she had up her sleeve.
Jane lazily stretched out an arm towards him with face turned upwards before saying, “I want you to carry me over there because I can’t walk.”
Like a fox revealing its tail sneakily.
Seeing that Patrick hadn’t moved from where he stood yet, Jane became bolder by sitting upright slightly causing fair skin beneath sheets to be exposed which caught his attention instantly.
“You’re trying to seduce me?” He pressed down on top of Jane pinning against bed frame, his lips unexpectedly gentle but full of possessiveness as he bit down softly onto Jane’s lower lip almost like punishment.
His eyes darkened as if wanting nothing more than devouring every inch of Jane.
“So bold?” How could Patrick not know what game Jane was playing? He rasped while leaning closer towards neck area whispering softly.
“I’ve always been bold,” replied Jane confidently.
Jane’s fingers pressed against Patrick’s thin lips, motioning for him to be quiet. Then her fingertips traced his cheek and moved towards his eyebrows and eyes. Her cool fingertips gradually warmed up from the heat of his skin.
Patrick narrowed his eyes slightly, allowing Jane to do as she pleased. He was quite pleased with her initiative to please him. He tilted his head slightly, obediently looking at the person in front of him, seeming to expect something when she got closer.
In front of Jane, he would restrain himself and show her the softest parts of himself without reservation.
However, Jane’s movements were slow and deliberate; it seemed like she was intentionally teasing Patrick with her fingertips on his body. It made Patrick breathe a little heavier.
Just as Patrick reached out to stop Jane’s actions, she cleverly slipped out from his embrace and blinked at him, “I’m hungry; let’s go eat!”
Soft hair brushed through their fingers as they separated. Patrick pursed his lips together while gazing softly at Jane.
Although breakfast prepared by Patrick was simple, it was delicious enough that it replenished much of the energy that Jane had expended earlier on.
While eating breakfast along the way, Patrick had already dressed neatly and walked down stairs only to see Jane curled up barefoot in a chair frowning slightly.
He hadn’t noticed earlier that she had run over here barefooted!
Noticing Patrick’s gaze shift downwards towards her feet; Jane wiggled them around while propping herself up on one elbow, “There’s carpet all over.”
His gaze followed Jane’s feet and moved upward. Patrick saw her two straight and slender legs. Lifting his foot, he walked over and, catching Jane off guard, lifted her and placed her on the sofa.
Jane exclaimed, reaching out to hold onto Patrick’s neck.
“If you dare to do that again, I guarantee that the next month will be spent entirely at home,” Patrick’s voice carried a hint of threat, making Jane feel a bit weak at the waist.
Although teasing Patrick was fun, Jane suddenly felt like she might not be able to handle the consequences. She quickly changed the subject.
“My bad, my bad, I know I was wrong. Where are we going?”
Even though she and Patrick were only engaged, Jane still wanted Patrick to take her out for a little getaway, a kind of honeymoon in disguise.
“To a small island on Love Ocean,” Patrick replied calmly.
Hearing the words “island,” Jane’s eyes lit up. She had long wanted to go on vacation to an island, but there had never been a suitable opportunity.
With this in mind, Jane was already feeling a bit impatient. She rushed back to the room to get ready.
“I’ll pack my bags right away! We can leave soon!”
Upon returning to her room, Jane glanced at her phone and saw that it was filled with congratulations on her engagement. She replied briefly and couldn’t help but smile with happiness.
Love Ocean was a famous tourist destination, and Patrick had originally planned to take Jane to an island developed by the Pansy Group that wasn’t open to the public. After all, this was their date, and Patrick didn’t want anyone else around. However, Jane thought it would be boring like that so they decided on another small island instead.
Patrick had already arranged everything beforehand so after Jane packed her bags they headed off to the airport. They still had some time before boarding so Patrick took care of some last-minute business while Jane wandered around feeling bored.
As she stepped out of the waiting area, someone grabbed onto her clothes from behind.
“Mommy! Where did you go?”
A young voice spoke up behind her as she turned around to see a little boy looking up at her.
After realizing he mistook her for his mother, his serious face became even more stern.
“Little one, did you get separated from your mom?” Jane crouched down and looked at the delicate little boy in front of him which softened her heart a bit.
But who knew that after shaking his head, he said seriously, “Nope! It’s my mommy who got lost.”
Seeing how cute this child looked made it hard for Jane not to laugh as she pinched his cheeks playfully before saying, “I’ll take you over to customer service so we can find your mom together, okay?”
The boy thought about it for a moment then just as he was about nod in agreement, Patrick walked over and wrapped an arm around Jane while glancing over at the child.
“What’s going on?”
“This kid can’t find his mom. I was just about take him over there.” As soon as those words left Jane’s mouth however, she noticed something out of place in the direction where the little boy gestured towards with his hand waving back-and-forth.
Jane followed where he pointed only see a young woman running towards them with arms outstretched ready pick up the little boy into an embrace.
