---- Chapter 113 No one knew how much time had passed before the sound of running water echoed from the bathtub in the bathroom. Still groggy with sleep, Tara was pulled into Lance's arms by the waist. The midday sun streamed through the cracks in the curtains, casting light into the dim room. She turned over and curled up against him. Then something occurred to her. She reached out and brushed her hand across his firm, sculpted chest. Any trace of sleep vanished instantly.

She quickly pulled away, and Lance's strikingly handsome face came into view. He had already woken up at some point and was watching her silently. In a husky voice, he said, "It's already noon. You should get up and eat something." Tara was too embarrassed to respond. "You..." Lance, seeing she was still in shock, chuckled. "We're a couple. What happened last night will happen often from. now on." ---- Tara didn't know what to do. Her mind was a mess. She had become his girlfriend overnight.

"IL... I'm going to brush my teeth." Even though they had already been intimate, she still couldn't face him properly. The way he looked at her made it impossible to meet his eyes. She slipped on her nightgown and got out of bed, planning to change after washing up. But the moment her feet hit the floor, her legs gave out. She gave Lance a flustered glare, which only made him laugh. He began, "Last night-" Tara lunged forward and covered his mouth.

"Don't say another word." She could have died from embarrassment. Lance smiled and gently pulled her hand down. " Anything you say." Tara quickly got up again and headed into the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, rinsed her mouth, and picked up a towel to wash her face. Lance leaned lazily against the doorframe, watching her through the mirror. His ridiculously good looks and ---- magnetic presence made her blush. Thinking he wanted to use the bathroom too, she said, " I'm almost done.

Just wait a bit." Instead, Lance walked over and hugged her from behind. Despite what had happened between them, Tara still wasn't used to his sudden displays of affection. She struggled out of his arms and left the bathroom, picking up her phone. There was a message from the company she'd interviewed with the day before. They apologized, informing her she hadn't passed the interview and suggesting she seek other opportunities. Tara was stunned.

After all, they had come to an agreement yesterday. Lance asked calmly from behind, "Who messaged you?" "The company I interviewed with," she replied. "What did they say?" He took the phone, glanced at the message, and set it back on the nightstand. By afternoon, Tara was too exhausted to move. Lance was utterly insatiable. There was no better word for him than terrifying. ---- During dinner, Lance said, "This place is too small.

Tomorrow, we'll move into that apartment I mentioned." Tara thought this place was perfectly fine. There was no need for a bigger apartment. "I'd like to stay here for now," she said. She figured since she had already paid this month's rent, she might as well not waste it. But Lance didn't want her living in such a cramped space, especially with so many people coming and going. "If you like smaller places, I'll buy you one. But we're moving within the next two days.

This place isn't safe," he said firmly. Tara looked up at him, then back down at her food, muttering , You're the one who's the most dangerous .' She hadn't meant for him to hear. But he did. He looked up slowly and asked, "I'm dangerous?" Tara shook her head quickly, afraid to admit what she'd said. "This place really isn't that safe ,"' she murmured instead. Lance locked eyes with her. "I'm your boyfriend and your future husband. What we've been doing is perfectly normal." Tara was stunned.

She stared at him in disbelief. Future ---- husband? Seeing her wide-eyed expression , he didn't seem angry for once. "That's my decision," he said calmly. What Tara thought didn't matter. As far as he was concerned , she was never getting away from him in this lifetime. Tara hadn't even thought about dating him, let alone marrying him. His words completely floored her. One thing was clear now. He had no intention of ever letting her go.
