The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 213

Chapter 213: Chapter 213 First Kiss
Hera couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle, her eyes meeting Leo’s distressed gaze as he panted, trying his best to fight back his desire and regain control. “Okay,” she said softly, her voice laced with warmth. “I believe you won’t hurt me. So, how about we each take the antidote and see where our relationship goes from here?”

Every woman desires to experience the sweetness of love and to be treated right by the man they adore, and Hera is no different. Under normal circumstances, she too yearned to fall in love, not out of obligation or to guard against certain people or alter her destiny, but for the pure, unadulterated joy of it. She longed for a love where not only their hearts but also their souls were intertwined. She wanted to experience all these things without the constant burden of responsibilities and the ever-present dangers lurking around her.

She thought Leo might be the best candidate for this. She didn’t know why Leo was showing such clear interest in her, but she could feel his sincerity and eagerness to get closer to her.

But Leo, on the other hand, wasn’t in the right mind to process what Hera had said. Haziness was already taking over him, his primal instinct urging him to just sleep with Hera and end the uncomfortable feeling in his body. Seeing Leo struggle and realizing he didn’t understand her words, Hera used her body’s weight and inertia to flip him over, positioning herself on top of him.

Leo didn’t know how he ended up under Hera. All he remembered was the room spinning and the soft cushion hitting his head, helping to bring back a sliver of his rationality. Before he could fully grasp what was happening, Hera had already popped a pill into his mouth and placed her hand over it to prevent him from spitting it out. Then, she took a pill herself.

Although she was drugged and things happened, she didn’t feel regret or anger. After all, who would be upset about experiencing such bliss? ‘I could just treat this as him giving me a massage. Yes, that’s it,’ she thought. But just remembering the intensity of their encounter made her face flush a deep red.

While she was lost in thought, Leo was also battling his own desires. Instead of thrashing about, he firmly gripped Hera’s ass and ground her against his cock. His eyes, once composed, were now clouded with intense desire. His nostrils flared, and his bare, heaving chest made him look irresistibly tempting. He had briefly regained a sliver of rationality, but it vanished the moment he saw Hera’s disheveled appearance and flushed, inviting face.

He was like a male siren, a vixen. Once Hera was sure he had swallowed the pill, she removed her hand from his mouth. However, Leo caught her wrist, preventing her escape. With a seductive gaze, he licked her palm up to the crevice of her fingers, his eyes hazily locked onto hers.

Hera stared at him, her thoughts an enigmatic whirlwind. Suddenly, a loud bang on the door shattered her reverie. The noise, whether a kick or a slam, was enough to jolt her back to reality. Earlier, her actions had been guided by the drug. She tried to recall if there was anything in the food that only she and Leo had consumed but remembered that they had all eaten at least a few bites of each dish. If the drug was in the food, Dave could be affected too. Perhaps, like her, it was just a slow-acting drug, meaning he might have felt its effects after he left the room.

But then again, she remembered Leo’s self-restraint in the auction, the aphrodisiac he inhaled back then was also a potent kind of perfume aphrodisiac that was much like incense and such but he still managed to not make a move. But this time, he was clearly struggling too much, so she could only surmise that the potency was ten times the one he experienced before, if he got drugged again in the future, it would affect his health and just thinking about it made Hera’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

The room echoed with three consecutive bangs against the door before falling into silence, its sturdy frame showing no signs of yielding to the assault. Eventually, the attackers relented, conceding to the door’s resilience. However, Hera’s attention quickly shifted as Leo, before her, began to regain his rationality with the effects of the anaphrodisiac. He ceased the intimate contact, yet discomfort lingered within him, his arousal unyielding.

He sat up, his gaze meeting Hera’s with a self-deprecating smile tinged with a hint of pitifulness as if he felt unjustly treated. Yet what truly astonished Hera was his lack of excuses; instead, he accepted responsibility for what had occurred and even offered to shoulder the consequences.

Leo locked eyes with Hera, sincerity evident in his gaze, his arms enveloping her waist as she remained atop him. “Hera, I’m truly sorry,” he began, his voice carrying a weight of remorse. “I can’t solely attribute what occurred to the influence of the drug. As an adult, it was my responsibility to remain vigilant and safeguard myself and those around me. I…”

“That was my first kiss and the first time anyone has touched me like that,” she blurted out, her words tumbling forth unexpectedly. She couldn’t quite pinpoint the reason for her confession—perhaps it was to avoid being perceived as someone who easily engaged in intimate encounters with any man, or maybe she wanted to ensure Leo didn’t misunderstand her intentions. It could have been her own sense of pride, as a woman not in a relationship with Leo yet finding herself in such intimate proximity.

Upon hearing her confession, Leo’s face lit up like a child unwrapping a stocking full of candy on Christmas morning. His smile stretched from ear to ear as he spoke, “I understood that I took your first kiss, and as compensation for my mistake, all I can offer is my body and the chance to share other firsts with you…” The pitiful expression melted away, replaced by a mischievous and joyous demeanor, as if he had unearthed a treasure he was unwilling to relinquish.

“Other first?” Hera tilted her head, momentarily forgetting their intimate embrace as she gazed at Leo with a puzzled expression. ‘Surely, he’s not suggesting that it was his first kiss too, and the other things?’ she thought, her confusion evident in her furrowed brow.

“That was my first kiss too, and the first time I’ve been intimate with a woman,” Leo revealed, almost as if he were responding to Hera’s unspoken thoughts. He offered her a proud smile, seemingly anticipating acknowledgment or compliment for his perceived virtue in maintaining his purity.

But upon hearing Leo’s revelation, instead of offering a compliment, Hera’s eyebrows arched with a subtle hint of skepticism. ‘Surely not his first time,’ she mused internally, recalling his skillful kissing technique and the dexterity of his fingers. Sensing her mind wandering into dangerous territory, she quickly pulled herself back from the brink, unwilling to delve further into those thoughts as the heat of the moment rekindled something within her once more.

Seeing Hera’s disbelief, Leo’s expression shifted to one of panic, and he gazed at her with a mix of urgency and frustration as he hurriedly attempted to clarify. “It’s true, you can investigate if you’d like. Years ago, I was sent abroad to work for our overseas company. It was such a hectic time that I was constantly immersed in work, often sleeping in the office. My assistant was male, as were all my secretaries. I practically surrounded myself with men…” Leo’s earnest attempt to explain made him look endearingly vulnerable. “I truly had no prior experience with women. I simply followed my instincts, perhaps influenced by your reactions,” he added with a shy smile.
