The two of them entered the shop.
Paul raised an eyebrow. “Are you buying a fishing rod?”
Miranda simply replied, “T’in just looking
However, her browsing turned into a purchase.
“Miss, you’ve got great taste! Our Carpenter fishing rods are not only high–performance but also incredibly stylish. They are top–notch whether for personal use or as a gift,” the sales assistant said.
“Alright, I’ll take it.”

Miranda had already handed over the card. Paul asked, “Are you really buying it?”
“Can’t ”
“Of course, why not? As long as you like it.”
Camping and fishing under the stars? It sounded pretty appealing to watch the moon and stars on a camping trip.
Neither of them felt like going home to cook in the afternoon, so they ate out. After dinner, they took a stroll at the night market across from the restaurant.
They had left home empty–handed but returned home loaded with purchases. Carrying their shopping bags, Paul naturally followed Miranda and entered her apartment without going back to his own place.
He changed into slippers and put down the shopping bags: Then, he went to the kitchen to pour two glasses of water. He handed one glass to her and drank the other himself. After that, he started washing and cutting up some fruit.
Finally, they both collapsed onto the couch.
Miranda let out a long sigh. “It’s been so long since I’ve shopped like this. My back is aching and my legs are sore. I’m so exhausted.”
Paul sat up and patted his thigh. “Here.”
“For what?”
“Put your legs up. I’ll massage them for you.”
What a sweet deal!
Kicking off her slippers, Miranda put her legs on his lap and reclined comfortably on the couch. She was clearly ready to enjoy herself.
Paul’s warm hands began kneading from her ankles with just the right pressure, not too light and not too hard. He worked his way up to her calves and back down to her ankles, repeating the process several times. It felt so good that Miranda couldn’t help but let out a satisfied moan.
Paul moved on to the other leg once he was finished.
Miranda almost fell asleep right then and there because it was just too… relaxing!
Just as she was drifting off, she suddenly became aware that his hands had wandered to her thighs. Miranda had

gone to the bedroom and changed into a nightgown once she returned home. The gown wasn’t too long, just around lanee–length.
After lying down, the hem of her dress rode up a little. A slight nudge upwards would reveal the fair skin of her thighs.
At that moment, Miranda was still enjoying the massage. She thought, “Dr. Jefferson is just so thoughtful to massage my thighs after my calves.”
Soon, she wasn’t laughing anymore…
His large hand continued moving upward slowly and deliberately, as if he was quietly testing the waters. He seemed eager to push further, but his approach was cautions and restrained.
Miranda was instantly wide awake. She sat up abruptly and grabbed his hand. By then, his hand had already reached the top of her thigh.
Any further and…
Miranda clicked her tongue. “Dr. Jefferson, you’re being naughty.”
His eyes glimmered with affection, while his smile was tinged with desire. “What’s wrong? Was my massage not comfortable?”
“I feel more confortable when you massage my calves,” she said.
Paul gave her a smile. “Is that so? But I think thighs feel better.”
As for who felt better, that remained a mystery. Their eyes met, and the air grew thick with tension
Just as Paul was about to lean in, Miranda moved faster. She jumped off the couch and stood on the floor. Taking two steps back, she grabbed her phone and waved it at him. Someone’s calling me. I’m sorry, Dr. Jefferson.”
With that, she turned and answered the video call in a sweet voice, “Dad!”
“Mimi, have you had dinner?”
“Yes, I have.”
“What did you eat?”
While the father and daughter chatted, Paul sat on the couch with a wry smile. Once the call ended, he walked over to Miranda and hugged her from behind. Then, he bit her gently on the side of her neck.
His actions carried a hint of frustration, but he softened his bite just as his teeth were about to graze her delicate skin. The bite became a series of light kisses and nibbles…
