55 But I Do

Alexander stiffened under her body when she finished speaking.

"… You're hungry?"

She nodded her head.

"Should I take that as a signal for me to make you mine?"

"No."

Yan Xiaoran shook her head and awkwardly smiled at him. Her words might have been misunderstood by Alexander so, she repeated.

"We weren't able to eat anything during dinner because of what happened. And you suddenly took me away from the dining room. That's why I'm hungry." Explaining it clearly to him might be the best thing for her to do now.

It took a few seconds of silence for Alexander to ease the desire to pin her down. He wanted her to kiss her mouth shut.

He narrowed his eyes whilst gritting his teeth, "Does it have to be now?"

"…Yes."

And as if on cue, her stomach made a gurgling sound. Yan Xiaoran blushed and bit her red and swollen lips after their long and fervent kiss.
