Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 506

Chapter 506: He’s seducing me, and I’m letting him.

"It’s been a while since we’ve had time alone, just the two of us. I didn’t realize how much I’d missed you until now, even though we’ve been together all this time."

Penny’s lips parted slightly, her breath catching in her throat. Her mouth felt dry as his dark gaze locked onto hers, mirroring her stunned expression. Her racing heart drummed in her ears, drowning out the rational thoughts in her mind.

She pressed her lips into a thin line, swallowing to ease the tension in her throat.

"Grandma gave me this tea," Zoren’s low baritone pierced through the thickening tension between them. "She said it’ll help me tonight."

"A tea to help you... tonight?" she repeated, her voice almost hoarse. He nodded. "Like... how?"

"She said not all women are easily satisfied."

Her face instantly flushed a deep red, and she held her breath for a moment. Zoren’s lips curled into a slight smirk as he released the strands of her hair from his fingers. When his hand carefully settled on her back, she almost flinched at the warmth of his touch.

"Breathe," he chuckled in her ear, his tone playful, drawing his head back.

"Why would Grandma say that? It’s so embarrassing," she murmured, touching her burning cheeks with the back of her hand. "Renren, did you... drink it?"

It took him a moment to answer, "No, I didn’t."

"You... didn’t?"

"I don’t need help in that area," he replied, pride lacing his voice. "I know I can handle it just fine."

Once again, Penny held her breath, her already flushed face turning even redder. She was just relieved he couldn’t see her clearly. After calming the storm of emotions swirling inside her, she adopted a more serious expression.

"Renren, you still need to recover, you know?" she muttered, her words trailing off into a whisper. "Your body is still healing."

"Are you worried I’ll underperform?"

"No!" she gasped, nearly choking on her words in shock.

"Is it about stamina?"

"No! Oh, my lord," she groaned, struggling to maintain composure. "Renren, that’s not it, okay? I’m just... worried. I want you to be well. I don’t mind if we don’t... you know... do it now. If it’ll compromise you, then never mind that."

"Ah."

Penny glanced up at him, catching the brief flicker of disappointment in his eyes as he looked away. "Why do you look so disappointed? This is for you!"

For a moment, it seemed as though a dark cloud hung over his head, accompanied by imaginary thunder.

"I thought stamina was what I needed to work on," he sighed deeply, "but apparently, I need to work harder."

"Renren, please stop talking?" she whimpered, her toes curling with embarrassment. "This is really mortifying... even for me."

"Talking about our marital duties isn’t shameful."

"But this is my first time!" she blurted out, immediately freezing in shock at her own words. Penny slapped her hand over her mouth, eyes wide.

Was it when she was drunk? Did she really defile him that night?!

’I want to do it. I’m going to jump him. I don’t care anymore — shut up!’ she mentally screamed, on the verge of tears as she battled her overwhelming emotions. ’’He’s seducing me, and I’m getting seduced. My poor heart, my body... my soul... please, take them all — just get better!’

She frowned, biting back the urge to say, ’Not even a kiss? We can kiss all night, I guess?’ and forced herself to exercise all the self-control she had.
