Chapter 816

As Ryan was about to remove Camelia's bra, she quickly grabbed his hand. "Not now, Ryan. We have all the time in the world, so let's take it slow! There's no need to rush." He realized she was right. Jumping into things without taking their time wouldn't show the care and thoughtfulness he wanted to convey. Ryan withdrew his hand and gently turned her to face him. He adored the way she blushed, her eyes cast down, giving her a shy and alluring look that words couldn't capture. He kissed Camelia softly on the lips, causing her toes to curl. She marveled at how he knew her lips were so sensitive. "You're right, Amy. We do have all the time in the world, so let's enjoy it," he said, pulling her close and leading her to a seat. "Can you guess what I'm baking?" She leaned against his arm, feeling his firm muscles. "I was wondering about that. What are you baking? Pheasants?" She laughed at the thought, knowing it was unlikely he'd be cooking pheasants in the small, kiln-like structure.
