Suddenly remembering something , Owen jolted upright in bed . “ Oh right , gotta make breakfast for Lily and Pearl . Need to get up now ! ”
Aría glanced at Owen , thinking , ‘ How sweet of him to still remember making breakfast for the girls at a time like this !
Owen ran a hand through his hair . His eyes accidentally landed on her bare shoulder , and with a pang of guilt , he quickly looked away .
He was about to leave a mark on her neck , but thankfully she stopped him just in time , reminding him she still had to meet people .
After that , every inch of skin below her neck bore telltale marks – her shoulders included . There was no way she could let anyone see her like this .
Aria followed his gaze and looked at herself , her pulse suddenly racing . “ Like this , how am I supposed to go back ? ”
Owen swiftly got out of bed , grabbed his shirt from the foot of the bed and put it on . He opened the wardrobe , rummaged for a shirt , then half – knelt by the bedside to help her into it . “ This will have to do for now . Sorry it’s not more comfortable . ”
Aria shot him a sidelong glance . “ Not really , considering I was the only one who got off last night . ”
She wanted to help him out , but he refused and just handled it himself .
Owen fastened his shirt buttons one by one and teased , “ Did I please you last night , my queen ? Was my service up to your standards ? ”
Aria ruffled his hair with a playful smile . “ Oh , I was quite satisfied ut remember – when I say stop , you stop . ”
“ As your loyal admirer , ” he teased , “ I know how to serve you better than anyone ever could . So , you’ll have to do as I say . ”
Aria was momentarily at a loss for words , shooting Owen a weird look . Owen’s heart skipped a beat , and he leaned in , wanting to kiss her .
She turned her head away . Owen gave her puppy – dog eyes and said , “ What , you don’t want me anymore ? ”
Aria turned her head , her gaze lingering on his lips for a long moment before she drawled , “ Did you rinse your mouth last night ? ”
“ I did ,” he replied .
While she was still dazed , he leaned in and stole a quick kiss , grinning as he said , “ I got us new couple’s toothbrushes and cups – let’s freshen up here
together . ”
Aria followed him into the bathroom . As soon as she looked up , she spotted the matching couple’s toothbrush set and cups . With raised eyebrows , she asked , “ When did you prepare these ? ”
Owen squeezed toothpaste onto her brush . “ The other day , ” he said .
Aria took the toothbrush and urged , “ Hurry up and freshen up . Just head straight to work and grab breakfast on your way .”
Owen looked at her . “ Don’t worry . I’m a law firm partner . My schedule is pretty flexible . ”
“ Okay , ” Aria said .
After brushing her teeth , Aria rinsed her face . Owen reached for a towel and gently dried her face .
While her eyes were closed , Owen tried to steal another kiss , but Aria swiftly pressed her hand against his forehead . “ My lips are still tingling Bebavo she teased .
Aria said , “ I’ll go change first . Ice your lips to reduce the swelling , or the hickies will be too obvious . ”
Owen looked a bit disappointed but still nodded obediently . “ Alright , I’ll go with you . If they wake up , I’ll cover for you . ”

Aria said , “ Yeah . ”
Once they were ready , the two headed towards the door . Owen entered the passcode and gently pushed it open – only to suddenly meet Pearl’s startled
gaze .
Just then , Lily emerged from the kitchen carrying two plates of pasta . Spotting Owen , she beamed and said , “ Owen , I got some groceries and made breakfast . Perfect timing – go call Aria to eat ! ”
Owen instinctively moved to shield Aria behind him , but she confidently pushed the door open , walked in with perfect composure , and flashed the two girls a big thumbs – up with a grin . “ You two are amazing ! ”
Pearl’s cheeks flushed red as she said , a bit embarrassed , “ Lily did most of the work . But I can cook too . How about trying my cooking at lunch , Aria ? ”
“ Then we’re in for a treat ,” Aria responded with a smile .
Owen walked in with a helpless smile and said , “ Well , guess I can’t bribe you two with good food anymore . ”
