Chapter 825
The book was abruptly pulled from Daniel's grasp, and Sienna stumbled into his arms. Startled, he furrowed his brows as he steadied Sienna. "What's wrong?" Daniel asked.
Panting, Sienna asked, "How much have you read?"
Daniel's voice softened, though his face remained tense. "Almost all of it. Can you change the ending?"
"No, it's already set in stone," said Sienna. Her cheeks felt warm.
"Maybe a spin-off, or a sequel?"
"The female lead's already gone. Even a sequel wouldn't bring her back."
Daniel let out a long sigh, feeling a heavy weight settle in his chest that he knew wouldn't lift anytime soon. He pulled Sienna into his lap and murmured, "Why end it so tragically?"
Sienna hung her head in silence. Back then, she was convinced that Daniel was devoted to his first love. Therefore, ending the story as she had was fitting.
Gently playing with her hair, Daniel looked at her blushing face and asked, "Darling, is it true what's written in the book? Did you fall for me at first sight?" Sienna nodded shyly.
Daniel's face broke into a bright smile, his voice filled with excitement as he asked, "So, those flirtatious moves you described the female lead using on the male lead-were you thinking of trying them on me?" Feeling embarrassed and awkward, Sienna closed her eyes and nodded cautiously. She wished she could just vanish.
"Why didn't you?" Daniel asked.
He felt a pang of regret for the time wasted. If Sienna had been bolder, like her character in the book, and used those moves to seduce him, he would have fallen for her at the very first move.
"I couldn't possibly do that," Sienna replied with a bashful smile. "How could a decent girl like me do such things? They're just fantasies for my books."
Daniel gave a wry smile, pulling her closer and nuzzling her neck. He took in the scent of her skin and whispered, "You wrote about the male lead getting drunk and the female lead forced herself on him. Why does that plot sound so familiar?"
Feeling guilty, Sienna squirmed out of his embrace. "Let's go out for dinner, Honey."
Yet, Daniel held onto her and refused to let her go. "Are you feeling guilty? What are you trying to avoid?"
"I'm not avoiding anything. I'm just hungry."
"Let's talk first."
"Let's eat first."
Daniel flipped over and pinned Sienna down on the couch with a playfully stern expression. "Have you ever done something unspeakable to me before?" Sienna blinked her big, clear eyes nervously. "I didn't."
"If you don't come clean, I might just have to bite you," Daniel threatened, trying to intimidate her.
Sienna knew that when he said
"bite", he wasn't referring to a regular
bite. It meant teasing her most sensitive and ticklish spot, which was pure torture for her.
"I really didn't do anything," Sienna insisted.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Daniel playfully tugged at her clothes and leaned in closer.
Sienna recoiled in fear, her voice trembling with embarrassment. "P-Please don't... I-I'll confess... I secretly kissed you."
Pleasantly surprised, Daniel looked up and smiled. He gently placed a kiss on her lips. "Did you really fall for me from the start? And you secretly kissed me?" Sienna's face flushed and she nodded shyly.
Daniel frowned in frustration. "How did I never notice your feelings for me?"
Leaning close, Sienna whispered in his ear, "Because you were blind back then!"
Indeed, his blindness had likely

Daniel felt somewhat disappointed. He touched Sienna's forehead, ran his fingers through her hair, and kissed her deeply. His kisses wandered down to her neck and his hands were exploring her body. They awakened a desire within her.
