'I have to hold it in… I can't laugh yet,' Naelia thought, pressing her palms to her lips to hide her smug smirk.
Her eyes gleamed with triumph as she stole a glance at Ira, who was still pink from her bold little kiss earlier.
Naelia wanted to laugh so badly.
'She went all the way for a single kiss?' she thought. 'I've done far more with him and she's giddy over a small peck?'
She took a deep breath and pretended to look calm.
"It's just a small kiss," she said teasingly. "How about you reach for his—"
Ira blinked innocently. "For his?"
"Ladies, please…" Azel interrupted, rubbing his forehead as if trying to ward off a headache. "Calm down and let me eat in peace."
Both girls turned toward him at once, pouting in unison.
He exhaled slowly. "If you want to feed me so badly, then both of you can feed me at the same time."
It sounded logical in his head… It was a quick compromise.
But the moment he said it, he realized how utterly stupid it sounded.
They would compete.
