"But... how do you know I’m not ready?" Bella whispered, inching just a little closer, her breath warm on his chest. "I also want to... make you feel good."

Leo sucked in a sharp breath, his fingers pressing into her waist as if grounding himself.

Because if he didn’t hold himself back, if he didn’t put distance between what she wanted and what his body demanded...

He was afraid he would lose every bit of control he had left.

And the thought of her touching him...her small hands, her soft lips, her warm breath—

that alone nearly made him groan out loud.

He swallowed hard, pulling control back into his voice as it slipped into a low, heavy tone.

"Bella," he whispered, eyes darkening with a hunger he struggled to hide, "you can’t even imagine what would happen to me if you touched me right now."

Bella’s voice trembled like a soft breath against his skin as she whispered, "Please..." and slowly crawled down toward his lower body, her movements unsteady yet filled with a fragile determination that made Leo’s chest tighten. He instinctively reached out to hold her back, but she had already pushed herself upright on her knees, her warm thighs brushing his as her small hands rested on the fabric of his pants. The moment her fingertips touched him through the cloth, he cursed under his breath, the sound low and helpless, and then everything inside him softened when he looked down at her. Her innocent face was tilted up at him, eyes wide and unsure, but her fingers continued to work their way toward his waistband with a courage she didn’t even realize she had. The tiny tremor in her hands made his heart squeeze in ways he didn’t expect.

"Please, Bella... my bunny, don’t," he groaned, his voice thick with a hunger he was barely holding back.

"I want to make you feel good," she murmured quietly, her cheeks glowing with a shy heat that only made her look more irresistible. She was still wearing only her bra, and the rest of her soft, delicate body was bare, pressed directly against his thighs. Only the fabric of his pants separated him from the warmth of her skin. The heat of her lower body seeped through, making his breath falter. He felt the hard, throbbing pressure inside his pants grow even more painful, and the sight of her sitting there so openly made restraint feel almost impossible.

"Fine..." he muttered, a defeated surrender in his tone as desire overtook the last of his resistance. He pushed himself up abruptly, and Bella let out a tiny gasp when he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. She settled right on top of his bulge, her soft warmth molding perfectly against him, and he leaned back against the headrest, his eyes darkening as he watched every flutter of her lashes, every shaky breath she took.

"Take off your pants," Bella said softly, pouting as she looked down at herself, suddenly aware she was the only one almost naked. Her voice held the tiniest complaint, and it made Leo raise a brow in disbelief at how adorable she sounded.

"Are you sure?" he asked, his tone gentle but edged with disbelief at her newfound boldness.

She nodded, and that one small gesture...so innocent, so certain made him chuckle under his breath. He lifted her easily and placed her gently to the side, though she immediately looked displeased, as if separation itself felt wrong to her. Her hands clutched the bedsheet, her brows pulled together, and it made him smile in a way he rarely did.

"Help me take it off," he said, tilting his head toward her with a playful smirk, eyes warm, amused, and undeniably tempted.

Bella blinked, and then determination filled her expression as she moved closer to him again. Her hands reached for his belt, small fingers working slowly at first, then more confidently. She unbuckled the belt with surprising precision, then undid the button, and finally lowered the zipper. The soft sound of the zipper sliding down made Leo inhale sharply, his eyes locked on her face.

"So easily?" he asked, almost stunned.

Bella puffed out her chest a little, pride shimmering in her gaze. "Hehehe, I am also part-time man, Leo. Did you forget me, Isaac?" she declared confidently.

He almost choked on a laugh, completely disarmed by her innocence mixed with courage, and before he could stop himself, he cupped her face and pulled her into a deep, breath-stealing kiss. His lips moved against hers with a hungry tenderness, and Bella melted into it, her hands gripping his shoulders as her whole body felt like warm honey under his touch. When he finally pulled back, a breath lingered between them, warm and shared.

"Take off my pants," he whispered, and the tone of his voice made Bella’s heart flutter wildly.

Her cheeks flamed, but she nodded again, more shyly this time. With both hands, she slid the fabric down his hips, inch by slow inch. The line of his body revealed itself to her, the sculpted lines of his thighs, the warmth of his skin. Her breath caught as she took in every new part of him that came into view, her fingers brushing his skin unintentionally, sending shivers through both of them.

When the pants finally slipped off completely, Bella froze. Her eyes widened in silent astonishment. Under the soft bedroom light, Leo looked impossibly beautiful. His body was all sculpted muscle and warm golden skin, every line defined yet gentle, as if carved by the hands of an artist who wanted to create perfection. Her gaze drifted lower, and her breath hitched sharply.

The bulge straining against the fabric of his briefs was unmistakable, large and prominent, and it made something warm and dizzying ripple through her whole body. She swallowed hard, unable to look away, her thighs pressing together unconsciously.

Leo watched her reaction with a slow, knowing smile.

"Come here," he murmured, his voice deep enough to make Bella’s stomach flutter. She moved toward him without thinking, crawling gently across the mattress, her hair brushing over her shoulders as she approached him like something drawn by gravity. The moment she reached him, Leo slid his hands beneath her arms and lifted her effortlessly, guiding her onto his lap.
