Chapter 387

As Oliver's lips hovered over her, feeling Josefina's trembling underneath him, he paused, pulling back from his wolfish advance.

Lifting his head, he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. His voice, husky and tender, whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not planning to devour you just yet."

Josefina, flustered, asked, "Then what are you doing?"

With a light chuckle, Oliver teased, "Just whetting my appetite?"

Josefina was left speechless...

Oliver rolled off and pulled Josefina back into his arms, holding her tightly. Pressed against him, Josefina could feel the firm contours of his body and instinctively tried to inch away.

But Oliver pulled her even closer. "Josie, you can't leave me."

Forced back into his embrace, Josefina's blush deepened with every heartbeat. After a while, her emotions began to settle.

"Oliver, I need to get back. I promised Master I'd stay an extra day, and I have plans to set sail with Grant tomorrow."

"Sailing is dangerous; I won't allow it," Oliver said firmly.

"I've spent time at sea before. I'm a good swimmer; why can't I go?" Josefina protested.

"You can't go with Grant. Haven't you noticed he's got a thing for you? Josie, if you don't feel the same, you can't lead him on. It'll only end in him getting hurt."

Josefina was bewildered. "He likes me? Impossible! We're like siblings; how could he possibly-You're overthinking it."

"Josie, never underestimate a man's intuition. I'm dead right about this. He's into you; you just haven't noticed."

Josefina was dumbfounded. The thought had never crossed her mind.

Back when she was with the Antonio family, she had a brother who got into trouble and fled abroad. He didn't like her at all and often played cruel pranks on her, making her loathe him.

Her bond with Grant was strong, just like her relationships with her other brothers- in-arms, but love had never entered the picture.

"Josie, you're not going tomorrow. If you do, it's just giving him false hope and making things harder for him."

Lying in Oliver's arms, Josefina mulled it over. Maybe he was right?

"I'll still go tomorrow, but I'll keep my distance and take the opportunity to clarify things" she resolved She planned to subtly lay out the facts without being blunt. s

"Then I'm coming with you," Oliver declared.

"Oliver, calm down. How can you come with me? You want me to tell my Master about us right now?"

"What's there to hide, Josie? Can't

you give me some legitimacy? If we don't speak up now, when will we?

And if we wait, not only your Master be mad at you, but he'll never accept me." s

Cradling Josefina, he kissed her again. "Is our relationship really something to be ashamed of?"

Josefina pondered whether to take Oliver to meet her Master. If she didn't clarify their relationship now, would her Master truly be angry later on?

As she considered her options, Oliver sat up, his handsome face looking pitifully

helpless. Such a beautiful face should be smiling, she thought.

Suddenly, Josefina felt like the villain, toying with Oliver's affections.

"Alright, I'll take you to meet Master tomorrow."

Overcome with excitement, Oliver tackled her down, his demeanor swiftly changing. Get full chapters from Fɪnd-Novel.net

"Josie, should I bring something for your Master? If all else fails, I could gift him the entirety of Lucifer's Breath and see how much they grow on Rose Bay Island. Whatever amount he wishes, he shall have." s

Josefina was speechless...

That was the signature bloom of Demon's Isle, after all.
