Cedric knew that Noelle had been influenced by something, which was why she acted the way she did. He gripped the back of her head and deepened the kiss. His kiss was forceful, just like his nature-domineering and in control.


    She soon became limp in his arms, her face flushed with color. His gaze darkened as he gently traced her red lips with his thumb, the moistness reflecting a faint light.


    Noelle met his eyes, and all rationality flew out the window. She pushed him down with all her strength, her hands pressing against his chest, even trembling slightly.


    Cedric''s hands locked around her waist, the sensation of her skin against his palm lingering with irresistible allure.


    His gaze turned heated. "Noelle, are you sure you won''t regret this in the future?"


    "I won''t regret it!"


    She was firm in her resolve. After all, didn''t he not have a girlfriend at the moment?


    She probably wasn''t breaking any rules by doing this. She just wanted to be impulsive once.


    Cedric flipped over and pulled her back into his embrace, his breath hot and voice rough. "Silly girl, what will I do with you?"


    Noelle was too nervous to say a word. She had spent all her courage just moments ago.


    His hands felt almost magical, but he covered her eyes with his palm, his voice low in her ear. "There are other ways besides this."


    She was still thinking of what those other ways could be. But suddenly, her eyes widened, and her face turned bright red. She hadn''t expected him to use his hands!


    That night felt especially long for Noelle. She had gathered all her courage to be with the person she liked, but he stopped just before the final step and did something even worse.


    The following day, when Noelle woke up, the events ofst night flooded her mind. She was so embarrassed she pulled the nket over her face, wishing she could dig a hole and hide in it. She felt so shy.


    Now, her body felt weak, as though she had been drained of all energy, like after a serious illness. But her mind was clear, and she vividly remembered everything fromst night.


    She had kissed Cedric first, and he had kissed her back. Hiding under the covers, she secretly touched her lips as if trying to relive the feeling of the kiss. So this was what it was like


    The warmth on her face increased. Although they hadn''t gone all the wayst night, it seemed they had done most of it. Now, Noelle was nervous and didn''t know how to face him.


    She wanted to check the time and reached for her phone, but instead, her hand brushed against something warm and slightly stiff. She peeked, and to her surprise, it was Cedric''s abs!


    She quickly withdrew her hand. Maybe she could slip away quietly before Cedric woke up.


    That way, it wouldn''t be too awkward.


    "Are you awake?" Cedric''s voice came from above her head, crushing her desire to sneak away!


    Noelle held her breath, unsure of how to respond.


    As she remained silent, he pulled back the nket, worried that something might


    be wrong. But she quickly grabbed the nket, still unsure how to face him.


    Cedric tugged at the nket, finding it impossible to pull away. A trace of amusement flickered in his eyes. "Now, you''re shy?"


    She was incredibly boldst night.
