"How much do you like me?" Adrian Desmond asked greedily. His dark eyes brimmed with tenderness and honeyed affection. What could be more delightful than the person he liked also saying she liked him?
"Very much, very much."
She expressed her affection with actions, cupping Adrian's face and pressing a kiss to his lips. This was Sienna Johnson's first time responding to his feelings, and Adrian was overjoyed.
"Really?"
"Fake!"
Adrian's smile froze instantly. Sienna chuckled, poked his forehead, and teased, "Just kidding, you fool!"
"You little rascal! Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Adrian started tickling her. Sienna, who was ticklish, dodged and laughed until she was out of breath. Her face turned as red as a ripe apple, and Adrian, seeing it, couldn't resist taking a bite.
"MMPH..."
...
On the deck, Xavier Young watched Adrian, utterly besotted with the woman and practically floating as he walked, his displeasure with Sienna growing.
Enchantress!
