Chapter 66
Stephan raised an eyebrow, amused by the girl’s flushed, rosy cheeks, so adorable it was off the charts.
He crossed his arms, asking with a smug air, “If I didn’t use your towel, would you have preferred for me to come out naked? Since that’s what you want, I’ll take it off and give it back to you p>
Saying this, he made a move to reach out and yank the loose, flimsy towel that was teetering on the brink of falling off.
Alana instinctively stopped him. “Don’t!Don’t pull it p>
Stephan raised an eyebrow, smiling with a hint of amusement. “So, should I pull it, or
shouldn’t I p>
She forced a smile, one so strained it bordered on tears.
“Don’t pull it. Just leave it tied like this p>
The towel had already been “contaminated” by him anyway; she certainly couldn’t very well use a towel he’d touched to wipe herself down, could she?
Besides, it had covered that particular area, the very thought was humiliating.
Stephan smiled. “Thanks. This towel of yours works pretty well p>
Alana forced a smile. “No, you’re welcome. Just make sure it stays tied properly p>
Please…don’t let it fall off.
“Okay p>
As he spoke, the man strode toward Alana, the towel tied around his waist hanging precariously.
His muscular upper body, with its well-defined lines, and his long, straight legs were fully exposed.
Alana couldn’t bear to look; her face flushed, and she averted her gaze.
Stephan walked up to Alana. Seeing her blushing and averting her eyes, unable to look at him, he gave a soft snort.
He’d deliberately left it exposed for her to see, yet she refused to look.
She has no sense of propriety.
He asked casually, “Where’s your hair dryer p>
Alana bit her lip and pointed casually. “It’s…it’s in the drawer. You can get it yourself p>
Stephan walked over to the bedside table, pulled open the drawer, and sure enough, found the hair dryer.
He took out the hair dryer, glanced at Alana, and offered, “Will you blow-dry my hair p>
She wished she could just close her eyes; her cheeks puffed out in frustration. “No way. You dry your own hair p>
Stephan chuckled softly, said nothing, plugged in the cord, and began drying his own dripping wet hair.
Hearing the sound of the hair dryer, Alana bit her lip and couldn’t help but say,
“Once you’re done drying your hair, leave immediately p>
He’d already stayed long enough.
Staying any longer would be even more upsetting.
The sound of the hair dryer stopped.
The man put the hair dryer back in the drawer.
Hearing the sound, Alana couldn’t help but ask again, “Did you hear what I just said p>
“I’ll leave as soon as I finish drying my hair p>
Suddenly, the bed sank.
A man who had just finished showering was lying perfectly straight on her small bed.
Alana’s breath caught in her throat, and she couldn’t help but look at him, her eyes wide with surprise.
“Stephan, what are you doing p>
Stephan lay on the girl’s soft, fragrant bed, then picked up the pillow she had been using and placed it under his head.
He saw the girl staring at him with wide, disbelieving eyes.
His thin lips twitched, and he said in a tone that was barely more than a whisper,
“Sleeping p>
His tone was as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Alana was furious. “Wait, you’re lying on my bed and using my pillow! If you want to sleep, go back to your own bed in your house. Don’t sleep in mine p>
“I’ve been kind enough to let you rest in my house for so long, you can’t just hog my bed. Get out of here p>
Stephan lay there looking quite content, without even covering himself with a blanket, exposing himself openly to Alana.
After all, he worked out regularly and was confident in his physique; there was nothing to hide. He rested his hands behind his head, half-closing his eyes, and spoke slowly, “It’s the middle of the night, and I just took a shower. I don’t have any clothes to wear. How am I supposed to go back?
So I’ll just have to make do and stay here for the night p>
“Middle of the night what? It’s morning p>
“Barely morning.” He retorted.
Alana’s face flushed, and she sounded a bit exasperated. “No way, you can’t stay here p>
“A man and a woman alone together, that’s against the rules p>
Stephan asked with a chuckle, “How is that against the rules? I’m just lying in your bed, I haven’t done anything to you p>
Alana gritted her teeth. “Even if you didn’t do anything to me, it’s still not allowed! Besides, if you’re taking my bed, where am I supposed to sleep? I need to get more sleep before dawn p>
Stephan shifted slightly, then patted the empty spot beside him with his large hand.
“Sleep next to me. I saved a spot just for you p>
Alana stared at him in disbelief.
He actually wanted her to sleep with him p>
He was so shameless!
It was bad enough that he barged right in, but now he was not only hogging her bed, he actually wanted to sleep with her.
He was taking everything she had to offer, he was getting the best of both worlds!
“No way! I’m not sleeping with you p>
“Get up already p>
“If you want to sleep, sleep on the sofa out there!” Alana couldn’t help but reach out, grabbing the man’s arm to pull him up and drag him away from her bed.
To get him off her beloved bed, she had even compromised on the unreasonable demand that he stay until it was bright outside.
Stephan watched the girl’s flustered reaction with amusement. “Be good, stop fussing p>
The way she looked right now really did resemble a little kitten with its fur all ruffled, so adorably cute.
Fucking adorable.
Even when she was angry, she was still so cute and adorable.
Alana puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, “You’re the one causing the trouble, aren’t you! Who’s as shameless and brazen as you, hogging someone else’s bed to sleep in p>
“Get up right now p>
She yanked at the man with all her might.
She managed to pull him up, only for him to sink back down.
This happened over and over again.
She simply couldn’t drag him off the bed and was left panting heavily.
