The cap she had made for Silas fitted his head perfectly, but Tabitha wasn’t satisfied with how he wore it.To address it, Tabitha first loosened her hair by removing the hair scrunch that held it. She then rose from her sitting position, knelt on the couch, with one leg stretched out to the floor for support. Using the hair scrunchies she held, she tied Silas’s long hair back.Observing Tabitha’s movements and the close proximity, Silas raised his hands and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. “It will definitely be more comfortable this way,” Silas claimed, offering it as an excuse, but Tabitha pulled away and sat back in the chair.Tabitha felt offended because Silas held her in such a manner, so she redirected her focus to knitting the shirt she intended to make for herself.Seeing how she had pulled back, not giving him a second look, Silas immediately sensed he had done something Tabitha didn't like. He wore the cap and brought his head to rest on her thighs, l

'This is so comfortable. It feels like my body and soul have been waiting for this moment. Being in his arms and feeling the tight embrace is so satisfying,' Tabitha thought to herself as she resisted the urge to wrap her hands around Silas's torso to feel his body even more.‘He smells fantastic, satisfying both my body and soul,’ she sniffed, though not loudly.Silas's words echoed in her mind as he hugged her. He apologized even before she brought up the issue, something she hadn't even planned to discuss. He had also expressed a desire to spend time with her.This caused Tabitha to compare Silas with Donald, and Silas turned out to be more better and manly than her ex.Just as Tabitha rested her head on his chest to savor the comfort, she detected an unpleasant odor a few seconds later.'What could be causing such a terrible smell?' Tabitha wondered. She had completely forgotten that she had been frying meat for a sauce before Silas arrived, capturing all her attention.The moment

Only Sarafina had ever taken the time to listen to things Tabitha desperately wanted to share, but Silas's attention was different. It exceeded her expectations and was fulfilling.When Silas had expressed his desire to have her photos on his phone, Tabitha paused, looking at him. It felt as if something had pierced her from behind, leaving her utterly surprised.'Is this what it feels like to be wanted? Is this the attention I've always yearned for from my family and ex-boyfriend?' she wondered.'I've never felt this happy because someone is genuinely listening and reacting, without any forced pretenses. He looks at me with such interest,' Tabitha thought, stealing a second to observe Silas.“Is there anything you want, my lady? If you want my lips, I can offer them without any hesitation at all,” Silas said, noticing Tabitha's gaze on him he couldn't quite understand this time.Was she perhaps admiring him? He wondered.Tabitha laughed at Silas's words. “I don't know,” she replied.

Of course, their actions caught the attention of people around them, causing parents to cover their children's eyes to shield them from witnessing a man and a woman kissing intimately.Meanwhile, Silas and Tabitha no longer cared about their surroundings. Silas had taken her to another world, and it felt like they were in their own space. Anything happening outside of that space wasn't their concern.Even as the ice cream melted in Tabitha's hand, she cared less.Tabitha felt overwhelmed and influenced by the kiss she and Silas were sharing. Her senses couldn't respond as they normally did, seemingly submitting completely to Silas's touch.What made his kiss so special? Why was it always so sweet when they shared one? The kiss was so sensual that Tabitha had no intention of pulling away.However, Silas pulled out of it first. Despite his desire to enjoy the kiss and ignore everything else, a crowd had formed around them due to their actions. Silas could hear what others were saying a

Silas's heart sank for a moment; everything suddenly started to appear dark in his eyes.Firstly, it was a call from his grandfather who proceeded to discourage him from pursuing his mate, stating he had found someone more "suitable" for him. Secondly, it was the sight of his mate laughing joyfully with a stranger and his children.Everything got to him.Silas always cherished seeing Tabitha smile and laugh, but this time, her laughter in another man's company pained his heart. His mood soured, and he couldn't think clearly for a moment.Silas remained where he stood, observing Tabitha playing with the man's children. With his keen hearing, he listened in on their conversation. They were discussing something related to children, a topic Silas couldn't relate to since he didn't share Tabitha's fondness for kids.Silas didn't interrupt them; he was consumed by the thought that Tabitha couldn't be his, and all his efforts would inevitably end in failure.Darkness seemed to surround his l
