Warm, feverish lips landed on Ivy Shen's mouth, and in that instant, both their hearts skipped a beat.
Ethan Chu's self-control crumbled the moment his lips touched Ivy's soft, rosy ones. He thought her lips were just impossibly tender and springy, making him want to bite her. The faint, sweet scent in her breath completely intoxicated him.
Right now, Ivy's eyes were tightly shut, her delicate face flushed hot and red, and her breathing grew faster under Ethan's heated kisses. Meanwhile, Ethan was struggling—his own breath was getting rough and ragged with every deep, burning kiss.
Underneath him, Ivy kept her eyes closed, looking all shy and adorable. Her chest rose and fell with every quick breath, driving Ethan wild with desire and making his heart race.
"Xin'er..." Ethan couldn't help but softly call out to the girl beneath him, sounding a little dazed. Was he really alone with her? Was this really happening for him?
"Huh?" Ivy looked up at him, her face bright red, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"You're so beautiful."
Hearing that, Ivy saw the hungry look in his eyes and couldn't help but get even more flustered.
Seeing this, Ethan gently lifted her blushing face with one hand, unable to resist leaning down for another kiss.
Lips, pale neck, chest, strawberries...
"Mmm..." As Ethan Chu sucked on her sensitive love bites, Ivy Shen couldn't help but let out a soft moan. The moment she heard herself, she was mortified—no matter how many times they'd done this, no matter who started it, she was always this shy and flustered.
Seeing this, Ethan couldn't help but smile—his Ivy was just too adorable, making him want to cherish her even more.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Ivy frowned and glanced out the window.
Ethan froze, then glanced out into the dark. A second later, a wicked grin spread across his face—those nosy eavesdroppers were really pushing it!
"He..." Ivy started to say there might be someone outside, but then her eyes accidentally landed on Ethan's very obvious bulge. Her cheeks burned even hotter, and she immediately looked away, too shy to even glance again.
Seeing this, Ethan leaned down and kissed her ear. "Those guys are way out of line, aren't they? Why don't we make them drool a little?" Before Ivy could protest, Ethan was already showering her smooth, fair skin with hot kisses.
Outside the window—
"Shh, listen!" Butterfly Rogue whispered, crouched under the window with Lucian Vane, Lan Moxuan, and Liam Willow, all straining to hear.
"Hey, let me in too!" Lucian and Lan Moxuan squeezed closer, eager to listen.
"Don't do this, don't do this! If Ivy finds out, she'll be mad. Let's go, now!" Liam Willow fretted nearby.
"Hey, little White Rabbit, keep it down or they'll catch us! We're just worried about Ethan, that's all!" Lan Moxuan waved his hand, acting all righteous—though honestly, who knew what he was really plotting.
Liam Willow was totally lost, cheeks burning as he listened to the sounds coming from inside. He sneaked a glance at the far-off courtyard, where two people sat chatting—one had been summoned by Lan Moxuan, the other dragged out by Butterfly Rogue and Lucian Vane.
Once they realized the others really were eavesdropping, those two just stayed put in the courtyard. They knew Ivy-dear's temper—joining in would only end in disaster.
They'd probably get wrecked.
Just then, Adrian Night and Eli Crane were startled—why did those four suddenly bolt?!
"Quick, quick, let's go! Ivy's onto us!" Butterfly Rogue waved frantically at the pair, then dashed off before anyone could explain.
The two exchanged glances and smiled, saying nothing.
"Come on!" Liam Willow rushed over and urged them to hurry.
"So, did you finally talk them down?" Adrian Night asked with a teasing grin.
"Nope, they wouldn't listen. Ivy just spoke up—she said if anyone's caught eavesdropping, she'll ban them from sex for half a year. So those three took off." Liam Willow said honestly.
