Chapter 293

Ava's POV I stared at what was inside the box, feeling a mix of emotions. Joseph was ridiculously romantic, but in a sweet way that made me smile. I already knew how playful he could be under that serious Alpha exterior. But this gift really caught me off guard. It was definitely interesting, to put it mildly. When I saw him fidget anxiously beside me, I decided to make him wait a bit longer before saying anything. I deliberately took my time examining each item, dragging out the moment. The large box was meticulously arranged with various toys. As seconds turned to minutes, his anxiety visibly mounted.

We can pretend I never gave them to you," Joseph said, his voice strained with worry. "I think I'd like to try this one first," I said, picking up the small butt plug and showing it to him. "Do you... do you like it?"
