SLURP… Slurppp!

"Sto… Smoochhh!"

Ethan's words were cut off as Sophia suddenly pushed him to the side and locked her lips onto his. Her mouth was hot, desperate, and full of hunger as she kissed him without restraint.

Ethan's eyes widened for a moment before narrowing again,and his hand instinctively rested against her waist as she pressed harder against him.

She paused for a short breath as her lips were red and swollen. Ethan tilted his head slightly, his deep voice calm yet carrying a teasing edge. "Wait… Did you break through to early Intermediate?"

Sophia's lips curled into a smile, her eyes glowing with pride and lust. "Yes… With this… I can last longer…"

Ethan smirked, his gaze dropping to her lips before he leaned closer. "In your dreams." His voice dripped with confidence as he kissed her back, this time with deliberate force. His strong arms slid around her waist and lifted her easily off the ground, pinning her against the wall.

A muffled gasp escaped her throat before it melted into another moan. One of her hands gripped his shoulder tightly while the other moved across his broad chest, feeling the hard muscles beneath his shirt. Her leg hooked around his hip, pulling him closer, while her arms wrapped tightly around his chest as if she never wanted to let go.

Their mouths crashed together again. Her tongue darted inside, tangling with his.

Ethan groaned softly, meeting her pace with controlled intensity. His tongue pushed back, teasing and devouring hers with slow, confident movements.

Her lips sucked greedily on his, making wet sounds echo between them. The kiss was messy, wet, and full of fire. Sophia clung to him as if the world would fall apart if she let go.

Ethan's grip on her waist tightened as his other hand slid up, pressing firmly against her back to hold her still while he kissed her deeper.

It was a French kiss filled with raw hunger. Her tongue invaded and tasted him again and again, while his cool dominance made her shiver. He kissed her with heat but with control, every movement deliberate, making her body tremble with need. She tried to devour him, but he didn't yield, making her more desperate.

After what felt like forever, Sophia finally broke away, her chest heaving, her breaths sharp and heavy. Her lips were glossy, wet, and swollen from the kiss. Her eyes burned with lust as she stared at Ethan, her voice trembling with desire. "Haaa… It has been too long… it's hard to control… haa…"

Ethan smirked lightly, wiping the sheen of her lip marks from his mouth with the back of his hand. His sharp jawline looked even more defined under the faint glow of the room. He looked calm, collected, and unbearably attractive. "Why are you reacting like this? I swear I didn't do anything with Lia…"

"That's the problem." Sophia's tone carried a hint of frustration as she trailed her fingers across his chest, feeling his heartbeat. Her touch was slow, seductive, her nails lightly grazing his skin through his clothes.

"Such a woman…" She licked her lips, her gaze filled with hunger. "You should take it. I wonder how it would feel to do this and that in the bedroom."

Her voice was husky as she whispered, her mind already racing with images. Her cheeks flushed as she bit her lip, drooling slightly at her own thoughts.

Ethan raised a brow, blinking at her expression, unable to guess the full depth of her imagination. His hand was still firm on her waist, his stance radiating dominance.

"But…"

"No…" Sophia interrupted quickly, her lips curling into a mischievous smile. She leaned closer, her breath hot against his ear. "You just sit back and watch… Let me do the job for you…"

Her tone was sultry, her body pressed against hi. tightly, making him swallow his words. For a moment, his thoughts wandered against his will, Lia's image flashing in his mind. He clenched his jaw and shook his head quickly.

'Hiss… Control, Ethan. Control… It also needs Lia's agreement.'

Ethan's eyes darkened with restraint, while Sophia smirked, knowing exactly the effect she had on him.

...…

"Oh my gawddd!"

A loud scream burst out from Rony the moment he took a bite. His eyes widened, and he nearly jumped from his chair in excitement.

"This taste… this exquisiteness… this is like a miracle!" He held the piece of fried chicken thigh as if it were treasure. "This is like the food of the Gods!"

Ethan and Sophia both froze for a second, blinking at Rony's dramatic expression. Ethan leaned slightly closer to Sophia, lowering his voice so only she could hear. "Isn't he over-exaggerating a bit?"

Sophia glanced at her plate and smiled faintly. "I can't say, but the fried chicken really does taste yummy."

Rony didn't stop there.

His attention swept across the table in front of him, his face glowing with pure joy. The long table was filled with food. Golden French fries, juicy burgers, crispy fish and chips, freshly fried chicken, and roasted barbecue chicken still steaming with flavor.

Alongside them sat a row of modern desserts,soft chocolate brownies, strawberry shortcakes, creamy custards, and bowls of vanilla ice cream that glistened under the light.

Each dish was a delight of its own, and the aroma filled the room so strongly it was almost impossible not to crave another bite.

Ethan had even thought ahead, planning to prepare pasta, macaroni, and other dishes later to expand the spread further.

Across the table, Lia nibbled shyly on a piece of chicken, her fingers delicate as if she was afraid of wasting even a crumb. But her eyes betrayed her. They lit up with every bite, filled with a quiet love for the food she was tasting for the first time.

Rony finally put down his food and looked around, his expression turning serious. He raised his hand toward Ethan. "My Lord… who is the one who made all this? That chef is simply a God among men. I want to meet him."

Ethan coughed lightly, leaning back in his chair. "It's due to the combined effort of many."

"Stop lying." Sophia interrupted with a playful smile. "All of this was Ethan's idea."

Rony's eyes widened as the truth hit him. He turned sharply toward Ethan, his gaze filled with admiration. In the next instant, he dropped to one knee and bowed deeply.

"My Lord… have my bow. I have been in the cooking industry for years, yet I have never eaten food like this before. This is simply beyond words. I cannot express the gratitude I feel right now."

Ethan raised a brow and waved his hand dismissively. "Okay, that's enough. If you really want to help me, then take care of the things I asked of you."

"Yes, My Lord." Rony's voice was firm, his face glowing with determination. "Me and my daughter will dedicate our lives to you. Such an opportunity, how could I ever let it slip away? To learn even a fraction of your skill as a chef would be a blessing."

Lia stood quickly and bowed as well, her soft voice carrying sincerity. "Thank you, My Lord. We will never forget your grace."

Sophia watched the father and daughter with thoughtful eyes. Then suddenly, she leaned forward, her lips curling into a small smile. "Lia… I have something to talk about in the garden after the meal."

"Uh… okay…" Lia tilted her head slightly, her innocent eyes blinking in confusion.

But Ethan's heart skipped a beat as he heard it.

'Is she really going to talk about it…?'
