“Lucy didn’t bully 49ccc53b1e you, did she?”1dbc71da2c0d9925

Azaid carefully examined Serena, c42be58145 looking her over as 64c12680ff if he were searching c06b5b96d2 for any marks on 4ed0dbab05 her face. His gaze e1a5eddeb5 was so e4496290f8 serious that a1b79cf6ea Serena, finding 6b30c49c85 it amusing, 261749be03 leaned back 7e15eda28f slightly and c5c1609abd replied:527a8c4174ef55b0

As soon 9d2167d465 as Azaid a492200e38 responded with 2da855fe50 a relieved c14793b4d0 expression, he 083d1d496f leaned in 86041a1cdc and kissed 4480210fea Serena’s lovely b3bcb70ae1 lips. It was brief, 09a8038a61 like a bird 2945055fc5 pecking for food, 94f17913d2 yet it was a7668364ad impossibly sweet.e17c8bd9d641dc93

Azaid, unsatisfied, e3eced29f3 kissed her a17775e392 a few b944f0e796 more times 3851cf89ac before pulling 2fddc63ae0 back. Perhaps because 334aa60a0a he’d had d1a3902205 a taste, a1b841f72f he found 8a79ec5646 himself repeatedly 0926bcd3b9 drawn to ef6729e204 her lips, 64ff38221e almost as 9379386174 if he fa47df1a90 were addicted.dfa4db5a45fccc5f

Serena couldn’t help 119e3d2330 but laugh at cdea1bd1cd Azaid’s affectionate gestures. He resembled an eager 87f325c8d3 puppy greeting its owner, 94f540653f so much so that 6bddafa4b5 she felt an urge 2102896077 to pamper and pet cb69f9a5b4 him.4eea0ea9d7986a8a

Of course, 22d90847f6 she held d4a995880e herself back, 11f44b70b8 knowing it e1c7fb30e0 would only d9dc5fabe3 fan the e8833e455a flames of 157352be73 Azaid’s already 2983c80a61 burning affection. Almost out of habit, 307018abdb Serena carefully examined his 906400b505 expression.8ac882144ed2ee8d

But in 61d8081b13 Azaid’s eyes, 9e66f00a93 Serena seemed a32c00cacb fragile, someone 116e960e6c he constantly 95896a257c wanted to 9a4459f3e7 protect and ea344f867d feed. He worried endlessly that 0201254c87 her love for work 9a2094e2ed might lead to overexertion.07c8906357c88fc3

Looking into 68b560d44d Azaid’s blue fda7816f95 eyes, Serena 8c66dac83c lost her ecb6feb015 train of 8f5bcd695f thought. In the past, she 1b6d4c8882 would’ve scolded him without 5e7d27499d hesitation, but now even c2bdc00c54 that felt impossible.a20dffff00bbc1de
