Adeline subtly pursed her lips. That was his way of saying she’d be a bad influence on Freya, wasn’t it?
Freya tugged gently at Louis’s sleeve and peeked out from behind him, her smile radiant. “The food was really good. I loved it.”
Adeline was instantly charmed. Even with Louis standing between them, she reached over and ruffled Freya’s hair. “As long as you enjoyed it, sweetheart. If you ever want more, just tell me. I’ll take you to the best Ruby family restaurant. Same chefs, same ingredients.”
Freya nodded eagerly. “Yes, please! Thank you, Adeline!”
Adeline almost wanted to steal her away. Why hadn’t she noticed before how adorable Freya was? No wonder Louis had fallen head over heels for her.
She didn’t want to leave, but there were still plenty of tables waiting for her to toast. With a reluctant sigh, she followed Louis to the next group.
After dinner, the banquet wound down. Freya looked drowsy, yawning one after another. Louis, not wanting her to get even more tired, quietly took her hand and led her out early.
She was already asleep in the car, curled up in the passenger seat. Her slender neck tilted slightly, and a few strands of her dark hair had slipped loose, brushing/gently against her cheek in the breeze through the window. The sight made Louis’s heart stir–like a feather was softly brushing against it.
By the time they reached home, she was still fast asleep. Louis had no choice but to lift her out of the car.
Freya stirred groggily, mumbling, “Mmm… are we home?”
Louis kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’re home. Go back to sleep.”
Reassured, she closed her eyes again and snuggled against his chest, making Louis feel impossibly soft inside.
Once they were inside the villa, Louis reminded Marilyn to keep quiet and carri bedroom.

He slipped off her shoes, gently wiped her face, but hesitated when it came to her clothes. They’d been living together for a while now, but they’d never actually seen each other change. Sure, he’d love to help her change–but what if she woke up and didn’t like it?
He could call Marilyn, but he didn’t really want to.
As he hesitated, Freya shifted restlessly, then slowly blinked awake. She looked around as her mind cleared, finally realizing she was home.
She sat up, rubbing her eyes. “Hmm? We’re back already?”
Louis stood right in front of her. She blinked at him, then suddenly threw herself into his arms. He caught her instinctively, wrapping her up tight, his voice low and gentle as he stroked her hair.
“What’s wrong? Did you have a bad dream?”

Freya looked up at him, her voice still soft and sleepy. “No… I just really like you. I’m so happy.”
Louis couldn’t stop the smile that spread across his face.
Freya was mesmerized by his smile. Before he could say anything, she leaned in and kissed him.
She must not have been fully awake yet–but it didn’t matter.

Louis had been holding back all night. Now he couldn’t anymore. He kissed her back fiercely, pulling her into his arms, then pressed her down onto the bed.
“Mm…” Freya’s soft, breathy sound made Louis tense all over. She could feel the intensity in his body, the weight of him pinning her in place. And yet, she didn’t feel like resisting.
The air in the bedroom turned hotter and heavier. Louis had never dared to get too intimate before–not in bed. He’d been afraid he wouldn’t be able to stop once he started.
And now, he really couldn’t stop.
Fighting to stay just a little in control, he pulled back slightly, voice hoarse. “Can I?”
His breath was hot against her ear. Her skirt had ridden up, his hand slowly exploring her waist. Freya trembled, dazed, and nodded. “Mm…”
And then the wave swept over her again.
For most of the night, Freya felt like she was drifting on the sea, the man above her the only thing she could cling to her anchor in the storm. Eventually, she slipped into sleep again, completely spent.
By the time she woke up, the curtains were still drawn. The room was dim and quiet. She moved slightly, and her whole body ached. Then a gentle voice came from beside her.
“You’re awake?”
The voice was warm, but it startled her. She instinctively shrank under the covers, only the top of her fuzzy head peeking out.
