Chapter 396
Hearing Soren say it would happen “sooner or later” only made me more anxious. Did he mean sooner… or later?
While my mind was still racing, he had already brought me the presidential suite. The place was lavish and expansive, complete with a personal butler.
I snapped out of my spiraling thoughts. “Which room am leeping in?”
“The master bedroom,” he said, pointing
I gathered my clothes and stepped inside. The king–sized bed caught my eye, and a sudden realization hit me. Wait, if I’m sleeping here. then you-
He followed me into the room and closed the door behind him with a soft thud, using his back. “I’m sleeping here as well.”
I stared into his smiling eyes, stunned. “B–But t–then…”
“We’re just going to sleep in the same bed. Relax,” he said in a low, teasing voice. “Or… were you hoping for something more?”
