NovelOnlineChapter 972: Freya stared at him, completely at a loss for words. She saw through that gentle exterior; it was just another mask he wore. A hint of frustration flickered across her face, and his grin only broadened, amused by her reaction.
Girlfriends were meant to be treasured, yes-but if she ever joined his world of high-stakes missions, he'd hold her to the sunforgiving standards. There'd be no special treatment. Survival depended on it. Nothing about those missions was scripted. Even with him at her side, there were no guarantees—real danger was never as tidy as a soap opera.
While his smile lingered, Freya decided to get even. She pushed up on her toes and pressed a quick, playful kiss to his lips, catching him completely off guard.
Before he could react, she teased him with a mischievous laugh, sparking something hot and electric between them. Ellis's instincts kicked in. He swept her into his arms, claiming her with an intense embrace.

Just as things hit their peak, she twisted free, darted across the room, and slipped behind a door, leaving him blinking in disbelief. She vanished so fast that Ellis didn't have a chance to catch her.
He stood there, the taste of her kiss still clinging to his lips, her sweet scent lingering in the air, and a restless fire burning in his eyes that refused to go out.
Ellis stepped confidently toward the room where Freya was tucked away. At the door, he called softly, "Freya, you in there?" Freya stayed silent, pretending she hadn't heard a thing.
Teasing halfway and stopping was a risky game. If she stepped out now, Ellis would likely kiss her until her knees buckled.

"Two." Before he hit one, Freya swung the door open, her guilty eyes betraying her.
On second thought, a hug and a kiss sounded better than Ellis barging in and cornering her on the bed. Things could spiral too fast there. Ellis reached out, gently pinching her cheek. “Hiding because you're guilty?" "No way," Freya said quickly.
"Really?" Ellis leaned in, his striking face closing the distance.
Freya's heart skipped, and she fessed up, "Okay, maybe a little." "If you're going to kiss him, do it right," Ellis murmured, leaning closer until their breaths mixed. "Halfway's no good." His lips met hers, soft and sure.
Freya's heart raced, her cool facade melting away in a flash.
Ellis pulled back after a moment, tapping her head lightly. His low, easy e voice said, "Go change.” "Huh?" Change for what?
He softened, his tone warm. "I want you to meet my childhood friends."
