Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

378 Emeged

and... greedy.

Now, Penny and Zoren understood why people kissed to show their affection. The moment their lips met, it felt

like a dam had broken. A simple dab of his lips on hers didn't feel right - it didn't feel like enough. So, the second

he leaned in again, the kiss was fierce, hungry, More didn't feel enough.

Deepening the kiss, his tongue twirled and explored her mouth. Zoren squeezed her waist, desperate to close

every inch between them. Penny responded by sliding her fingers over his broad, muscular back. Their warm

bodies pressed against each other, creating faint heat waves as they began to burn from within to their skin.

As the kiss deepened, she felt her entire world spin, her knees weak and tempting her to give in. Lost in the

sensation, she felt his hand crawl down her waist. He held her close and firmly, grounding her as if he was afraid

the intensity of the kiss would sweep her away. When they finally broke apart, they were breathless, their

foreheads resting against each other. Their deep breaths mingled between their parted lips, their drumming

hearts echoing in their ears. Their shaky eyes slowly met before the corners of their lips curled up. Soft laughter

broke out from them, equally amused, shocked, and overwhelmed by the newfound emotions swirling in their

chests.

"Your first?" he asked, his voice coarse as his throat was dry.

"No."

Zoren leaned back a little, tempted to ask who had dared to steal the first spot. But before he could, she added

mischievously,

"Five minutes ago was the first, this is the second," she clarified, giggling. "Your first?"

His lips curled up deviously as he leaned in again. "Definitely not my last," he whispered huskily, biting her

bottom lip without giving her a heads-up.

His instinct was right. The moment he claimed her lips for the second time, he knew he would never go back. Not

that he was ever willing to go back because now he was certain this was not a dream. It was not something his

mind had created.

The sweetness of her mouth, the softness of her lips, and her electrifying touch were things his mind would

never have created on its own, for he had never thought of her this way. But now... all he could think of was how

far this would take them.

Zoren slowly pulled away from her lips while keeping them between his teeth, his eyes glinting dangerously. As

he let go of her lips, he scanned her face, only to feel Infuriated by his eyes.

'l would've poked them myself and gotten new ones quick, he thought as the dangerous side of him peeked out

and waved. Despite the intrusive thoughts in his head, he cupped her face with kind touch. "I'll get better.

"Hmm?" Her brows rose, her angel busy defending her territory from the devil on her other shoulder.

"I'll get better," he repeated, his voice barely above a whisper. "I want to see... your expression."

Penny pressed her lips together, feeling a faint bubble of embarrassment in her heart. However, she wasn't so

unkind as to let his frustration linger.

"If you can see me... I'm all red," she confessed, earning a subtle smile from him. "I don't think it's my best

state."

He seductively crawled his hand through the side of her hair. "Was there ever a bad version of yourself?"

"Get better and see for yourself, she quipped, completely forgetting Old Mrs. Pierson and Butler Hubert were in

the manor. "Tellyour opinion then."

"I will." His eyes softened affectionately, now having more motivation to get better. The mere thought of being

able to see her in this world sent a surge of excitement through every fiber of his body. "Will you stay over

today?" he asked meaningfully, making her smack her lips.

Could she?

Personally, Penny wanted to stay over today just because she wanted to kiss more. Who knows? She might find

out what her body was screaming for since his lips met hers. However...

"My company just started to operate, she remarked calmly. "It needssince most of my people haven't

transferred to the new office. Though | might drop by tonight because | need to give you something." ""What is

it?"

"Just svitamins," she shrugged. "I could send someone to deliver them, but then | wouldn't see you, would

I?"

A low chuckle escaped him, pleased to know she wanted to see him just as much as he did. "Then, will you stay

over tonight?"

"My brothers..." Penny ran her tongue across her inner cheek as she finally remembered her headaches. First,

Atlas; second, Hugo- though Penny was curious as to what Hugo was doing last night. As for Slater, she simply

hoped the news hadn't reached him yet. Well, she would know if she opened her phone.

"Right. Your brothers." Zoren nodded in understanding, making a mental note that he needed them as allies

rather than enemies. "They won't hurt you, will they?"

"No, but even if they wouldn't hurtphysically, their scolding is worse. She sighed, looking at him with such

reluctance. She moved closer to him as if their distance was still too wide. Without a word, she rested the side of

her head on his chest while her hands locked on his back. Her action made his brows rise. "Yes?"

"I'll stay like this first before | get tried today, she mumbled, realizing Zoren also had healing properties like

Chunchun and Blacky. "I'll think of a way to deal with them for now.

A shallow chuckle escaped him as he let her melt in his arms while holding her body securely. He thought she

would shy away once things cooled down, but surprisingly, she didn't. Instead, she felt rather more comfortable

with such proximity and was now melting in his arms. Zoren still couldn't see nor was he healed. However, right

now, he felt like he was cured. His entire world, his open wounds, and all that had hurt him with every breath

were now gone, magically just like that.

He lowered his head and rested it on top of her head. "Penny," he called, and she hummed in response. "I night

lust over you tonight.

Penny slowly gazed up at him in horror.

Meanwhile, the devil on her shoulder stylishly covered her lips and giggled. "Emeged."
