The medicine needs to be taken for several days, so Ava Sterling is now always carrying candy with her. And the sweet candy brings a good mood, so giving candy to Poe Vaughn is one way to ensure happiness. The sweet scent instantly wafted to his nose, and the candy even pressed directly against his lips, the strands of sweetness seeping through his lips and teeth, making everything feel different. Poe Vaughn lowered his eyes, looking at the person who was playfully feeding him candy with a smile. The candy was sweet, but at this moment, she was even sweeter. He raised his hand, and the partition in the middle of the car slowly rose. Ava Sterling noticed, and was stunned. She instinctively glanced at the rising partition, and then suddenly felt an arm wrap around her waist, pulling her abruptly into that familiar firm chest before she could even react. Ava Sterling was bewildered, what does he want to do? Just as she was thinking this, her chin was lifted, and a heated kiss fell on her lips. Ava Sterling’s eyes widened in complete bewilderment. What’s the situation? Why suddenly a kiss? There was no warning at all. Poe Vaughn’s kisses, just like on the bed, were always dominant and forceful, as if he wanted to devour her completely. Although Ava Sterling initially couldn’t quite process what was happening, not understanding how things escalated to a kiss. But given the special circumstances today, since he wanted it, she went along with it. Holding the lollipop in her hand, she hugged him back, returning his kiss, and her breathing quickly became erratic. It was slightly congested at noon, so it took about twenty minutes for the car to stop outside The Kestrel Apartments. And for as long as the car drove, Ava Sterling and Poe Vaughn kissed just as long. Every time Poe Vaughn let go of Ava Sterling, allowing her to lean on him and catch her breath, just when Ava Sterling thought it was over, he would resume. It seemed he couldn’t get enough of kissing, repeatedly feathering Ava Sterling’s lips to the point they were slightly swollen and vividly red. The car stopped, and the clear scene outside appeared, with Ava Sterling leaning in Poe Vaughn’s arms, catching her breath, trying to avoid him restarting and possibly doing something more extreme, she gasped, "We’re here, we should get out." Holding the person in his arms, Poe Vaughn’s chest moved with chuckles, the force was substantial. Inhaling her soft fragrance, feeling the softness of her body, his heavy breathing gradually steadied. He wanted her, right then and there. But it was inappropriate. He suppressed the tumultuous desire within him, letting everything settle down. Ava Sterling felt Poe Vaughn’s tense body gradually relax, perceived his breath on her hair changing from scorching to gentle, and her heart could finally calm down a bit. She was scared countless times earlier, scared he would do that in the car. Having slept together so many times, she was already familiar with his body. If he wanted or not, she could distinctly feel it when their bodies were close. And just now, while they were kissing, she could clearly sense he wanted, really wanted. Therefore, she was really scared. Because, if they started doing that, Old Zhang would find out, not to mention all the plans for lunch and classes in the afternoon would be ruined. She didn’t want that, really didn’t want. So, she’d make it up to him tonight, tonight she’d fulfill him properly. At this moment, with Poe Vaughn’s breathing steady, Ava Sterling couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up in her heart, feeling grateful. Being able to hold back, not bad. Follow current novels on novel✶fire.net Not a beast, not blinded by desire. Ava Sterling especially appreciated Poe Vaughn for this behavior. Their breaths had both evened out, Poe Vaughn released Ava Sterling, and she hurried to tidy herself up, her clothes were messy, and her hair was disheveled. For just a kiss, it felt like rolling in bed, almost naked. Resting against the seat, Poe Vaughn watched her hurriedly fixing herself, observed the tense appearance, his deep gaze slowly shifting. Ava Sterling quickly neatened herself up, then took out a mirror from her bag to check for any other signs of disorder. After all, going out like that in broad daylight, anyone who saw would immediately know what had happened. But as she saw herself in the mirror, noticing especially her swollen lips which gave away what had happened, Ava Sterling’s face turned black. She gave a resentful look to Poe Vaughn, it’s all his fault. She could arrange her clothes and hair, but what about these swollen lips from kissing? Poe Vaughn, seeing Ava Sterling’s unhappy look, opened the car door, and immediately pulled her out. Being looked at like that made him want to press her down and thoroughly torment her. Startled by his pull, Ava Sterling stumbled out of the car with him, quickly uttering, "Take it slow!" Poe Vaughn pulled her out of the car, then directly drew her into his arms, his voice hoarse, "Lean against my chest." Saying this, he directly pressed her head against his chest. For heaven’s sake, doesn’t this make it even more obvious that there’s something amiss here? Ava Sterling wanted to push Poe Vaughn away but upon reevaluating, decided it was more proper to be held . She’d just cover her ears and act as if nobody noticed. She didn’t care anymore! She held onto Poe Vaughn’s waist, letting him embrace her as they walked into the community. Under the security guards’ astonished gaze, they entered the apartment building. Guard: "Isn’t that Miss Sterling?" Another guard: "Who else in our complex has that height and long hair, if not Miss Sterling?" Thus, both were silent. Poe Vaughn embraced Ava Sterling into the elevator, Ava Sterling lifted her head from Poe Vaughn’s arms, taking a big breath. Poe Vaughn looked down at her. Her long hair slightly messy, blushing face, yet her eyes were exceptionally bright, as sparkling as the stars in the sky, making one want to pluck them down. Gazing at the person in his arms, the calm darkness in Poe Vaughn’s eyes stirred once more. Ava Sterling quickly disengaged from Poe Vaughn’s embrace, not due to his predatory gaze, but because she felt hot. Though autumn had arrived, the autumn heat wasn’t easy. Walking such a long way had made her break into a sweat. Ava Sterling raised her hand to fan herself, trying to cool down with this slight breeze. While fanning, she remarked to the person beside her: "Could you take it easy next time, this is broad daylight, if someone sees us, they’d surely think that way, I am somewhat a public figure, need some dignity, okay?" Ava Sterling wouldn’t wrong herself, she spoke out her dissatisfaction immediately, totally forgetting to console him. Poe Vaughn watched her complain with anger, turning his gaze, and replied with an "Mm." Clearly, he didn’t take it seriously. Ava Sterling could tell from his voice, even his perfunctory acknowledgment was insincere, truly a sponsor. Fine, she would not bicker with him. Today was a special occasion for him, she bore with him. Oh well, she was Ava Sterling, beautiful and kind-hearted. The mood quickly lifted, and as the elevator door opened, Ava Sterling wrapped her arm around Poe Vaughn’s again, hurriedly saying: "Starving, starving, let’s hurry back for some tasty food and see what Sister Wei has cooked today." Saying this, she pulled Poe Vaughn along, quickly arriving outside the door, entering the code. Quickly, the door chimed, and Ava Sterling immediately let go of Poe Vaughn’s hand to step in and change her shoes: "Sister Wei, we are back!"
