Give Me a Kiss
Anastasia couldn’t help but soften as she leaned against his chest while listening to his solid,
unavoidable heartbeats.
Elliot turned his head to plant a kiss in her hair. What an amazing feeling it was to have her back in his
arms again.
His broad chest gave her a strong sense of security, making it seem as though there was nothing she
needed to be afraid of. When had she started liking this feeling!?
The couple watched the business channel together. Then again, it only suited someone like Elliot, for
she began to nod off very quickly. What was more, she was very snug being in his arms.
Just like that, she closed her eyes before she knew it, and sleepiness creeped up on her. Soon after,
she started breathing evenly.
At that, Elliot turned off the TV and carried her up.
However, Anastasia shot wide awake and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at
him with somewhat amorous eyes. “Where are you taking me?”
“To sleep.”
“I’m sleeping with Jared.” She had no intentions of sleeping with him!
However, Elliot still carried her straight to the master bedroom. “Makes no difference.”
How could it be the same!? Anastasia’s drowsiness was immediately gone, and she made her way to
the door as soon as Elliot put her down. However, he grabbed her immediately and pulled her into his
arms, forcing her to face him.
Anastasia’s hair was let loose as a result, and her milky white velvet nightgown made her face innocent
yet alluring. It surely would be the death of him.
Elliot gulped, looking as though he was trying his best to hold back something.
Anastasia caught the possessiveness in his eyes, and she immediately warned, “Don’t you d—” Just
like that, he made her swallow the word ‘dare’.
Admittedly, Anastasia couldn’t say no to his kisses every time. It carried a strange yet tingling
sensation, making her want more despite feeling abashed.
Suddenly, he let go of her and asked in a husky voice, “Do you want it?”
“No!” Anastasia denied her desire stubbornly, but deep down, she wanted to give it a go. She wanted to
see if she could accept his approach. Not only that, she wanted to see if the trauma he evoked would
come back.
She didn’t want the trauma from five years ago to haunt her for the rest of her life, for she wanted to
experience the joy of being a woman too. However, she still pushed him away while saying, “It’s really
late. You should turn in early.”
Jared’s still at home, for heaven’s sake!
Elliot was merely asking. After all, she had to want it herself. If she didn’t, he wouldn’t force her even
though he was on the verge of exploding.
Anastasia scurried into Jared’s room, but she couldn’t stop thinking about Elliot, his kiss, his breath,
and his gaze.
The following morning, Anastasia opened her bleary eyes to find a pair of angelic eyes staring at her.
“What is it?” She sat up and kissed her baby boy.
“Mommy, I’m going to be late for school,” Jared said solemnly.
“Huh? Isn’t today Saturday?”
“Nope. It’s only Friday!” Is Mommy dreaming?
Anastasia slapped her head at that. She had trouble sleeping the whole night, no thanks to Elliot. Right,
Elliot! He had stayed over for the night. At that, she asked with a smile, “Is Mr. Presgrave around?”
“He is! He’s waiting for you in the living room.”
“In that case… Ask him to send you to school! I’m really sleepy.” Anastasia wanted to be lazy this once.
“Okay!” The little guy headed out, beaming.
“Mr. Presgrave, Mommy still wants to sleep. Can you please take me to school?”
Of course, he was more than happy to, smiling as he said, “Sure! Go and pack your bag. I’ll let your
mom know.”
“Okay.”
Anastasia, who was still half-awake, happened to be shifting into a snug position so she could go back
to sleep when she heard the door open. Then, she heard footsteps approaching her, and with that, she
reached her hand out to pat his leg while saying dreamily, “Hurry up and go to school, Jared!”
Jared?!
Elliot chuckled under his breath, somewhat frustrated. This woman sure dared to take advantage of
him.
At that, he bent over and leaned close to her. “Sure, I’ll send your son to school. You have to kiss me in
return, though.”
Startled, Anastasia shot wide awake and reflexively covered her sleepy face. “I have morning breath!”
