Chapter 89 A Perpetual Tangle of Limbs

“You’d been preparing all this since noon?”

Deep down, Sebastian still found it somewhat hard to believe.

Madelyn, however, nodded seriously.

“Yes. I even gave Lydia the day off. I prepared all of this myself. So, what do you think? Do you like it?”

After she had said that, she looked at him in anticipation.

“You did a good job,” Sebastian replied nonchalantly.

At the sight of the meticulously decorated house, the anger brewing within him somehow vanished into thin air. He then took a seat across from her.

Madelyn was overjoyed. She placed a knife and fork before him, saying, “The steak is freshly cooked. Quick, give it a try. I’m dying to know if it’s good.”

Sebastian picked up the fork and knife. Casually taking a piece of steak, he put it into his mouth. After chewing a few times, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is really good.”

The steak was cooked medium-rare, tender and not overly done. On the contrary, if it had been taken off the stove any later, it might not have tasted the same. Moreover, the seasoning was perfect. In a nutshell, everything was just right, neither too much nor too little. It tasted perfect.

“Is it really good?”

It was the first time Madelyn ever heard Sebastian praising her, and she could hardly believe it. She hastily took a couple of bites herself. Finding it genuinely delicious, she immediately broke into a silly grin.

Subsequently, the two of them enjoyed the candlelit dinner together. As Madelyn savored the steak and sipped on red wine, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s so wonderful to have you here, Sebastian.”

Upon hearing that, Sebastian was inexorably taken aback.

“In the past, my birthdays were always over the top. I invited countless classmates, but few genuinely cared about me. So, even with a crowd, it didn’t feel meaningful at all. But I’ve come to realize now that when it comes to birthdays, the most important thing is to be happy. What’s the point of making it such a grand affair? If it doesn’t make me happy, it’d be better not to celebrate.”

Then, she laughed with the joy and innocence of a child. At that moment, her eyes seemingly shimmered with infinite stars. Sebastian committed that sight to memory, never forgetting it in the years that followed.

Throughout the candlelit dinner, Madelyn ate with great joy, feeling utterly content. Before they knew it, Sebastian had finished all the steaks.

Subsequently, the two clinked glasses and drank some wine. After clearing the table, Madelyn brought the cake out.

Sebastian helped light the candles before urging softly, “Make a wish.”

Madelyn nodded in agreement, then gently closed her eyes and clasped her hands together before making a wish.

If wishes could come true, I would wish for a lifetime of happiness and love with Sebastian, living together in bliss.

After making her wish, she blew out all the candles in one breath.

“Happy birthday,” Sebastian said.

Then, the two of them laughed. As the dim glow from the candle fell on them, it lent their features a hint of tenderness. The scene seemed to have gained an added texture. It was as if it were a warm and intoxicating dream.

Later on, Madelyn had a bit too much to drink and was slightly tipsy. She stood up. Tugging at Sebastian, she asked, “Sebastian, wouldn’t you dance with me?”

When she spoke, she looked dazed, adorable, and alluring.

Sebastian grunted softly in agreement without turning her down. Following that, he took her delicate hand. The two of them then began to waltz intimately.

One of Madelyn’s hands rested on Sebastian’s shoulder, and the other lay in his palm. Sebastian also gently held her waist lightly.

They had never danced together before. But at that moment, it was as if they shared a tacit understanding. Their dance steps were in perfect harmony, their movements light and graceful. They worked together seamlessly without a single flaw. However, because they were too close to each other, their breaths intertwined, and the atmosphere inevitably grew increasingly intimate.

She gazed at his crystalline pools seemingly capable of speech, and his thin lips that were faintly tinted a delicate pink hue. Madelyn’s heart inexorably skipped a beat.

What a strikingly handsome man! He’s so good-looking that I find it hard to resist the urge to violate him, take him away, and claim him for myself…

Suddenly, Madelyn stopped dancing as an impulse swept over her out of nowhere. Her hands shot up in one fluid motion to wrap around Sebastian’s neck tightly. Somewhat impatient, she took the initiative and pressed her lips against his.

As their warm breaths blended together, her face was gradually colored scarlet. Sebastian stood frozen in place, his entire body going rigid in an instant.

Instinctively, he tried to push Madelyn away. However, she clung to him tightly, much like a koala. Like a starving baby, she fervently sucked at his lips. Alas, she couldn’t quite get the hang of it because the man kept his mouth tightly shut, not allowing her to invade it.

“Sebastian…” Madelyn suddenly whined with a stifled moan, her voice seemingly pleading.

Due to that cry, the fortress Sebastian had been staunchly defending crumbled instantly in that split second. In an instant, passions combusted.

No longer holding back, Sebastian cradled her head and started kissing her far more passionately. His agile tongue delved deep without missing a single spot in her mouth. It was as if he intended to devour her whole.

The sudden onslaught left Madelyn powerless to resist, her legs going weak. Meanwhile, Sebastian’s other hand had reached her chest, eliciting a stifled moan from her.

Unable to contain themselves any longer, they passionately embraced and kissed. Before they knew it, they had reached the couch. They both collapsed onto it.

Soon, Sebastian entered her, completely declaring his possession over her.

That night, they remained in a perpetual tangle of limbs.

The next day, when Madelyn woke up, she suffered from a splitting headache. Upon opening her eyes, she realized that she had been moved from the couch to the bed. She was still completely unclothed, and her body bore traces of their lovemaking.

However, an exquisite deep purple brocade box lay on the bedside table. Madelyn opened the brocade box, only to see a necklace in it. Judging from the style, it appeared to be specially customized. The pendant in the middle featured a high-end planet design with several small diamonds encrusted around it. From different angles, the planet refracted a variety of hues, a clear indication of its hefty price tag at a single glance.

Deep within, Madelyn was convinced that it was a gift from Sebastian, and she was overjoyed. So, she immediately sat upright on the bed and put the necklace around her neck. Grasping the necklace hanging from her neck, she smiled in contentment. This time, she planned to never take it off.
