The hours ticked by as the night grew darker. Cedric led Daniela back to their bedroom.

The comforting familiarity of the room eased Daniela’s tension little by little.

Cedric settled down across from her, holding out a glass of water. Daniela simply shook her head.

With a soft sigh, he set the glass down, his attention returning to her.

“I wasn’t really paying attention. My mind was elsewhere, and I didn’t notice Joyce’s actions. Then you came downstairs.

You got upset, right?”

Daniela shook her head again but then gave a small nod. Cedric smiled slightly.

“You’re upset with Joyce, not me, aren’t you?”

Hearing that name brought a flicker of anger to Daniela’s gaze.

Cedric reached for Daniela’s hand and cleaned it with a wet wipe.

“I can handle myself. I just wasn’t paying attention earlier. Don’t let it upset you.”

His tone was gentle, almost like calming a child.

“But it bothers me too—it hurts right here.”

He guided Daniela’s hand to rest over his chest.

She observed him in silence.

The moonlight streaming through the tall window softened Cedric’s sharp features. Daniela noticed her own reflection mirrored in his steady gaze.

Then Cedric spoke, his voice steady.

“Daniela, I love you. I always will.

You don’t need to worry about anyone else. I’ll keep myself safe, and you can have anything pure and real from me.”

Daniela’s face softened, the anger fading and replaced by a calm, deeper longing.

“Why don’t we get some rest now?” Cedric suggested, patting Daniela’s hand gently.

He crouched down to grab the glass from the floor, planning to set it on the table. But just as he reached for it, a hand gripped his wrist.

He glanced over, and before he could fully process what was happening, something soft grazed his lips. A tender warmth brushed against him, stirring something deep within.

Cedric felt his heart soften, almost melting at the touch. At first, he let Daniela’s hesitant kiss continue, but her soft, impatient sounds made him chuckle before he leaned in to return the gesture fully.

It wasn’t long before his laughter faded, overtaken by a deep, smoldering desire.

Cedric kept the glass in one hand while his other arm wrapped around Daniela’s waist.

In the past, she had always held back, and Cedric never pressured her.

He allowed her to set the pace for everything between them.

He would always give in to whatever she desired. Even when his desire for her burned fiercely, he’d cool off with a cold shower.

He had a feeling she was holding something back, or maybe she was leaving him a way out. He couldn’t understand why she thought he needed that. He didn’t. He never wanted an escape.

But because it mattered to her, he went along with it without question.

Now, as Daniela’s hands reached for the buttons of Cedric’s shirt, his expression turned serious in an instant. He pulled away slightly, his voice soft yet firm.
