Real Heiress: Flash Marriage With Boyfriend's Uncle - Chapter 336

Chapter 336: His fingers teasing her
After so many years, snow had finally fallen in Rome, which was a rare event. The usually bustling streets were now filled with joyous shouts and laughter as people embraced the unexpected wonder.

Layla was among them, her excitement uncontainable as she stretched out her hands, gathering delicate snowflakes in her palms.

Lucius, however, wasn’t captivated by the snowfall. He was mesmerized by her. The way her white-toothed smile stretched all the way to her eyes, the way she laughed with pure delight—it was a sight more beautiful than any winter wonder he had ever seen.

“Lucius,” Layla called, turning to him with a playful glint in her eyes. “Do you know what they say if you watch the first snowfall with your lover?”

Lucius arched a brow, clearly intrigued. “Is there such a saying?”

“Yes!” she exclaimed, her laughter ringing through the air. “They say lovers who witness the first snowfall stay together forever.”

Lucius watched her for a moment, his lips curving into a rare, genuine smile. Snowflakes clung to her hair, her cheeks slightly pink from the cold, and he felt warmth spread through his chest.

“Then,” he murmured in his deep voice, as his hands slid around her waist, pulling her close. “I suppose we’re bound together forever, Layla.”

“Yes,” she whispered, her hands resting on his arms.

He drew her closer, and she instinctively rose onto her toes, even with her high-heeled boots. Their breaths mingled in the frosty air as Lucius leaned down, capturing her cold, soft lips in a slow, lingering kiss. The world around them faded—the falling snow, the distant laughter of people—nothing else mattered, but only this moment.

It was a kiss neither of them would forget. When they finally pulled away, a smile played on both their lips.

Layla gazed into his eyes, happiness radiating from her. “I love you, Lucius,” she said, with a bright smile, carrying warmth.

Lucius’s expression softened as he reached for the back of her head, his fingers tangling gently in her hair. Closing his eyes, he pressed his forehead to hers and whispered, “I love you too, Layla.”

As the snow continued to fall around them, he silently promised, ‘We will stay together forever.’

Arriving home, Lucius and Layla hurried upstairs to their bedroom.

As soon as Layla pushed the door open, Lucius captured her lips in a deep kiss. With one swift move, he nudged the door shut with his foot, still gripping the shopping bags tightly.

Layla let herself melt into the kiss for a moment before pulling back with a mischievous smile. “I need to brush,” she said breathlessly.

Lucius furrowed his brows, clearly unimpressed by her excuse. “Seriously?”

“Yes.” Layla grinned, giving him a teasing look as she stepped back. “Let’s brush first, and then…” She trailed off, her eyes glinting with playfulness before she turned and dashed toward the washroom.

Lucius sighed, shaking his head in amusement. “Unbelievable,” he muttered under his breath, but a smirk tugged at his lips as he watched her disappear inside.

He set the shopping bags on the table and shrugged off his long coat, draping it neatly over the chair.

Then, moving toward the closet, he placed his boots inside and tossed his socks into the laundry basket before rolling up his sleeves, preparing for the night ahead.

Lucius stepped into the washroom, finding Layla already brushing her teeth in front of the washbasin. Without a word, he grabbed his toothbrush and joined her.

Layla finished first, rinsing her mouth before flashing him a teasing smile. She patted his arm lightly and walked out, leaving him to finish.

A minute later, when Lucius entered the bedroom, his steps faltered for a brief moment. His gaze landed on Layla, who was lounging on the bed in a revealing black nightdress that barely reached mid-thigh.

The silky fabric clung to her form, accentuating her every curve. She was casually scrolling through her phone, seemingly unbothered by the effect she had on him.

Lucius exhaled slowly, his jaw tightening as his eyes darkened with unspoken desire. Tossing the hand towel onto a chair, he approached her like a predator and snatched her phone.

“Lucius, that’s—” Layla started, but her words were cut off as he captured her lips in a deep, searing kiss.

Before she could react, he had already tossed her phone aside, not caring where it landed. His sole focus was on her—on the warmth of her body beneath his touch. His hand slid down to her thigh, fingers tracing delicate patterns against her soft skin.

A muffled moan escaped her lips as his touch sent a wave of heat through her. “Mmmh,” she gasped against his mouth, her body instinctively arching closer.

Lucius took his time, teasing her lips with his tongue until she parted them for him. The moment she did, he deepened the kiss, tasting her, claiming her. Layla’s hands instinctively traveled up his back, fingers grazing over the firm muscles that had tensed under her touch.

His breathing grew heavier as he pulled her closer, his hands gripping her thighs with possessive gentleness. “Layla,” he murmured against her lips, his voice husky with longing.

Layla panted heavily, her chest rising and falling as Lucius finally granted her a moment to breathe. But the reprieve was brief.

Without hesitation, he dipped his head lower, pressing a lingering kiss against the soft skin of her thigh. A shiver ran through her, her back arching as his featherlight kisses sent waves of tingles through her body.

“A-ahh!” Layla gasped, her voice breaking into a sweet cry when he nipped at the sensitive flesh. The sharp sting quickly melted into pleasure as his tongue traced over the spot, soothing the mark he’d left behind.

A soft moan escaped her lips when his hand slid between her thighs, his fingers teasing her as he sought out the evidence of her wetness.

Without breaking his eye contact with her, he moved down his head lower, ready to have her.
