Chapter 247 Down to kiss it
He took her ring-adorned hand and leaned down to kiss it.
Alana bit her lip, her nose stinging once more.
What should she do? Her eyes were about to well up...
Seeing Alana’s reddened eyes, Stephan assumed she was still resisting his repeated mentions of marriage.
He just wanted to tell her that he wanted to marry her on her own terms, not to put pressure on her.
He gently wiped the corner of her eye with his fingertip and whispered soothingly,
“All right, let’s not talk about this anymore. We rarely get to go on a date like this. Let’s have fun...don’t cry.”
“If you cry in the mall, people who don’t know us might think I’m mistreating you.”
Alana shook her head. “I wasn’t crying.”
Stephan chuckled, “Your eyes are all red like that, and you say you weren’t crying.”
Alana bit her lip. “I really wasn’t crying.”
Stephan continued to soothe her patiently, “Alright, you didn’t cry. Whatever you say goes...I’ll do whatever you want.”
Alana’s tears turned to a smile.
The two held hands and continued strolling.
Alana noticed a couple holding a few freshly printed photo booth pictures, chatting and laughing.
On a whim, she looked at Stephan. “Stephan, shall we go take some photos?”
“What kind of photos?”
“Polaroid photos!”
“What are photo booth pictures?”
“Just come with me and you’ll find out!”
There was a photo booth in the mall.
Alana dragged Stephan inside.
They’d been together for so long, yet they hadn’t taken many photos together.
Since it was a rare date and they’d gone out of their way to dress up, they naturally
wanted to have a good time and take some great photos.
They were like newbies trying out a game for the first time, fiddling with the machine for ages before they finally figured out the trick to taking the photos.
At first, they stood together properly.
Stephan had his arm around Alana’s shoulders, and she was leaning close against his shoulder.
With perfect harmony, they both smiled at the camera.
The scene was absolutely beautiful.
The camera captured that moment.
Alana was very pleased with this shot, it was absolutely stunning.
When someone was naturally beautiful, they look good no matter how they’re photographed.
Stephan snatched it from her hand. “I like this one...I’ll take it!”
Alana couldn’t help but tease him, “I like this one too...give it to me!”
Stephan smirked. “Then let’s take a few more.”
Perhaps because they’d gotten the hang of it, their subsequent shots grew increasingly bold.
Time and again, the photos captured Stephan kissing her cheek, her forehead, and her lips.
Held in his arms, she blushed like a budding flower, shy yet radiant, her beauty almost overwhelming.
Alana blushed as she looked at them, then stuffed the photos of the kisses into the man’s arms.
“I don’t want these...I want some proper ones.”
Stephan curved his lips, picked up the photos she’d shoved at him, looked at each one several times, then carefully tucked them into his pants pocket.
From now on, these photos would be his treasured possessions.
Alana felt they’d done enough shopping for the day and had come away with plenty of good finds.
“Is there anything else we need to buy? If we’re not buying anything, should we head back?”
Stephan took her soft little hand in his, his dark eyes fixed on her, a hidden meaning in his gaze.
“Sweetheart, I want to buy you some sexy lingerie.”
Alana blinked.
Wait, this was a rare proper date, and he’s actually thinking about that?
She felt too embarrassed to go into a store like that with him. “Let’s go home. We’ll buy it next time.”
She’d just go buy it secretly next time she went out.
Stephan curved his lips. “It’s rare for me to go out with you. I don’t want to wait until next time. Next time is for next time, and this time is for this time. We can’t waste a single opportunity.”
Alana pouted.
He really doesn’t waste a single chance to reward himself.
With a man like this, her slim waist was doomed sooner or later!
Alana wanted to slip away, but with the man holding her hand, where could she possibly go?
He practically dragged her into a sex shop. It had everything one could possibly want.
The content was so explicit that she couldn’t belong to describe them.
Stephan leaned down, bringing his face close to the girl’s flushed, alluring cheeks, his voice low and husky. “Last time, when you were with your best friend, what kind of ‘good stuff’ did you two look at, hmm?”
Alana was too embarrassed to say, “Nothing... nothing good...”
Stephan’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “Then today, you’ll stay with me and take a good look. We’ll pick out some real goodies.”
Alana warned him in a low voice, “Don’t go too far. Rein it in a bit.”
“A man can’t hold back even a little when it comes to this sort of thing.”
Alana felt like fleeing.
Just then, a sales clerk approached them enthusiastically.
“Hello, may I help you?”
Alana immediately replied, “Nothing, we’re just passing by...”
Before she could say much more, Stephan interrupted in a calm voice, “Pick out some nice nightgowns for my girlfriend...lightweight, sheer ones. White lace, black lace, nude lace, all kinds of styles. Get one of each.”
Alana swallowed hard. The feeling of social embarrassment hit her so suddenly and intensely. What should she do?
Was there a crack in the floor she could crawl into?
The sales clerk shot Alana a look that was both suggestive and envious.
This lady’s man really knows how to have fun.
“Oh, absolutely! I guarantee your girlfriend will be satisfied!”
Before long, the clerk brought out dozens, even hundreds, of nightgowns in all sorts of styles.
Every single one was incredibly... revealing.
Alana couldn’t bear to look.
Stephan merely glanced at the nightgowns and immediately imagined Alana wearing them, lying in bed, seducing him with her alluring, flirtatious manner. His Adam’s apple bobbed. “Wrap them all up for me.”
Alana gasped. “Huh?!”
What? This many?!
How long would it take her to wear them all?
She tugged at the man’s belt with her small hand and whispered shyly, “Maybe... we shouldn’t buy them all? There’s too much. I’ll never get through it all...”
Stephan chuckled softly, leaning close to her ear and saying, “How can we not finish them? You don’t really think I’d be satisfied with just one pair for the whole night, do you?”
Her eyes widened.
What did that mean?
One wasn’t enough to satisfy him...does he actually want her to change into several different ones one after another all night long just to seduce him?!
What a pervert!
In the end, Alana watched helplessly as Stephan waved his hand and bought over a hundred sheer, revealing nightgowns...
The sales clerk, thrilled to land such a big order, eagerly tried to upsell her target.
“Sir, would you like to buy anything else? We have plenty of other fun items in the store to spice things up! If you’d rather not carry all this around, we can pack it up and have it discreetly delivered to your door!”
Stephan cocked an eyebrow. “In that case...”
Alana couldn’t bear to stay any longer. She tugged hard on the man’s arm. “Enough, enough! That’s enough. Let’s go, let’s go!”
She was still young, she certainly didn’t want to die in his bed.
Stephan smiled, glanced back at the clerk, and gave a nod, then gave his address.
