“A–AL…” Lily tried to open her mouth to speak, but Alexander silenced her by placing his finger on her
lips.
“Don‘t say a word.” Lily could only stare at him silently. From this proximity, she could see his Adam‘s
apple moving, and she found this natural movenient attractive for some reason. Alexander slowly
lowered his head and pressed his lips onto hers.
Since Lily had just come out of the bath, her body was still damp. Alexander had carried her from the
bathroom to their bedroom, so his clothes were soaked, making them cling to her skin. –
Even though Lily had been neglecting her training in boxing these recent years, she still had a lean
figure. Besides having abdominal muscles and a perfect vest line due to regularly working out, she also
exuded feminine grace. Lily opened her eyes in a daze, and all she could see was his attractive,
muscular body. She never expected that he was hiding this under his tailor–made suits. Alexander had
a desirable physique, and she knew immediately that it was from years of effort at the gym.
Although he had a pale complexion, there was nothing unhealthy about it. It was as if every outline of
his muscles had its own charm, and they captivated Lily‘s eyes.
“A–Alexander...” she murmured in a low whisper. “Call me honey instead,” he teased gently as he
kissed her cheek.
“H–ho...” Lily‘s cheeks were flushed red. She just could not do it. The word was at the tip of her tongue,
but she swallowed it before it could escape her lips. Her face was as red as a ripe tomato as she bit her
lower lip.
“Haha...” Alexander chuckled softly. He had no intention of forcing the pet name. Instead, he would give
her time to get used to it.
Lily closed her eyes slowly as his kisses felt like feathers. They were light, gentle, and a bit ticklish. She
knew what would happen next but had no intentions of stopping him. Ever since she agreed to marry
him, she knew this day would come, but she was still nervous about it.
When Alexander raised his head to look at her, he could tell by her body language that she was
unwilling to go further. Despite her eyes being tightly closed, her eyeballs were darting around
nervously. She pressed her lips together, and her hands were balled into fists by her sides.
This was not a woman in love. Instead, it looked like she was about to be sentenced to death.
With a soft sigh, Alexander decided to stop. After a while, Lily opened her eyes in confusion when she
realized nothing was happening. She looked at Alexander with questioning eyes.
Alexander had regained his composure. The desire in his eyes was no longer as intense. His body was
still leaning against hers, but his hands were on her arms now.
Noticing that Lily had opened her eyes, he asked gently, “Are you afraid?” Lily shook her head
hesitantly and then, moments later, nodded her head. She did not want to lie to him because, deep
down, she was still afraid. She blushed in embarrassment,
