That mere physical contact made Coco’s heart race and set her skin on fire."I... I’m going to take a rest first!” Coco pushed Lucas away and darted into the nearby bedroom after saying that.Lucas frowned slightly at the closed door.Coco leaned against the door, panting. Just a touch from Lucas made her feel like throwing herself at him.She wondered if it was because she had just seen his body or because her feelings for him were stronger now, so she desired to be closer to him. Coco tried to calm down by taking deep breaths.However, the intense beating of her heart seemed to tell her how much she loved him!Coco stayed in the room to avoid Lucas until there was a knock on the door.She was startled, unsure if she should open the door. "Coco, dinner is ready. Come out and join me," Lucas's voice came from outside.After a moment of hesitation, Coco replied, "Go ahead and have dinner first. I'll eat later.""Are you not feeling well?" he asked."A little.”"I'm coming in," Lucas s

Silence filled the air, and the hand that had been holding her chin loosened. Coco wondered if Lucas would think poorly of her. She didn't dare to see his reaction to her words."So, you're avoiding me because you want to be closer to me?" After a long while, Lucas's husky voice broke the silence. This time, his voice wasn't as cold as usual."Mhm," Coco replied with her eyes closed."Why?"Coco was speechless. Of course, it was because—"I like you, so... so naturally, I want to be closer to you. When I see your body, I start having wild thoughts. When you're near, my heart races, and my face flushes. I... I don't want to be like this, but sometimes, I can't control my thoughts."Taking a deep breath, she continued, "Maybe... you should stay away from me for now. I'll calm down in my room. Maybe then I won't have such wild thoughts.""So, does that mean once you've calmed down, you won't have any feelings for me?" Lucas asked."Of course not!" Coco quickly denied it."If that's not t

Although they lay on the same bed that night, Lucas didn’t do anything to her.However, Coco... Well, she touched him, especially his defined abs. She did that unconsciously after she fell asleep. When she woke up in the morning, her hand was still inside his robe, resting on his abs!Coco felt like burying herself in a hole when she recalled where her hand was placed. Lucas must be thinking that she was a pervert now. Later in the morning, Lucas drove them back to the city."Do you want to go to your apartment first or the studio?" he asked."Uh... my apartment first," she replied."Alright." Both of them remained silent until Lucas suddenly spoke up, "What’s wrong? You’re too shy to talk because of your feelings for me?""Cough, cough…” Coco choked on her own saliva. Lucas had a point.From the corner of his eye, he noticed her flushed face. "You seem to blush easily. Are you planning to stay silent and blush throughout our relationship?""No," she hesitated and explained, "I’m

Coco hadn’t expected herself to be attending a charity gala. It was something that she would usually watch online for fun. "Who else from the film crew is invited?" Coco asked."Rowan Palmer," Minnie replied."That's all?" Coco blinked."Yeah," Minnie confirmed.It made sense for Rowan to be invited as he was one of the top celebrities, but it was odd that the director, producer, and female lead weren't invited while Coco, the original comic author, was.Seeing her friend's confusion, Minnie explained, "Actually, I think the people in the industry know that you’re dating Lucas. So, they would naturally invite you to such an event."Coco suddenly grasped the situation. "Can I not attend, though?" After all, the thought of facing reporters, cameras, and random questions made her tremble."You can ask Lucas for his opinion. Attending such a big event could be good for your social circle," Minnie suggested.That evening, when Lucas came to pick Coco up for dinner, Coco asked him, "I recei

"So, from now on, I won't kiss you, and I won't engage in any intimate actions beyond holding hands and hugging," Coco said firmly.Lucas frowned upon hearing that. He was a little upset too. "But didn't you say those actions made you happy?" He asked."They do make me happy, but it's not fair to you. If I were being treated like this by someone I didn't love, I definitely wouldn't like it," Coco replied."I don't mind...""But I do!" Coco looked into Lucas’s beautiful eyes. "I hope that the other person loves me too when we engage in these intimate actions as a couple. It’s only natural to get closer to the other person when love exists between us. However, those intimate actions would eventually become a burden if it’s a one-sided love.” Lucas kept quiet and stared at Coco intently. The innocence in her eyes made him feel somewhat embarrassed.He wondered if he was only tolerating her intimate actions. Did he agree only because they were a couple?"Up to you. If you think that it's
