Chapter 821 Moving in Together
Over the next half month, the two of them were on cloud nine, basking in sweetness every day.
In the evening, inside Anthony's apartment.
Only a floor lamp was left on. Juniper leaned against Anthony's legs, watching "Roman Holiday."
As they watched, his hand began to restlessly explore along her body.
"That tickles, stop it," Juniper slapped the restless hand.
But within seconds, it was back again.
"Anthony, I told you to stop," Juniper whined, looking at him.
"Just focus on your movie," Anthony said, feeding her a piece of popcorn.
"How can I focus with you doing that?" Juniper said, annoyed. "Can't you wait until the movie is over..."
She used to think this man was indifferent to desires, but now it seemed his needs were quite high. Every night he clung to her wanting to make love, and she was almost at her limit.
Every time she managed to muster the resolve to refuse him, she couldn't resist his gaze in the end. Who could say no to such a kind and irresistible face?
It was all a lie before.
In reality, all men are the same in that regard. There's no such thing as a man who is truly indifferent to desires—they're all wolves!
"Alright, I'll wait," Anthony finally settled down.
Though, he was still struggling inside.
By the time the movie ended, it was already past ten. They took the empty fruit plate back to the kitchen.
Watching her back as she washed the dishes, Anthony felt an indescribable warmth. This was the future life he dreamed of.
Having her by his side was happiness; he just wanted to spend the rest of his life like this.
Feeling deeply moved, he walked over and hugged her from behind.
"It's so good to have you," he whispered, kissing her ear gently, filled with affection. He even seemed a bit like a child, dependent on his parents.
Completely, he was dependent on her.
"I should probably head back."
"Stay here tonight; it's close to your workplace anyway."
"I've already stayed three nights this week; I need to go back to my own apartment."
"Really? Do you have to go?" Anthony looked at her longingly, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Yeah, it's fine. We'll see each other again tomorrow anyway, no need to be so reluctant."
"But I am reluctant, very reluctant. I don't want to be apart from you for even a second. Please, don't go, okay?" Anthony held her tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Anthony..." Juniper said, amused, "Can you stop being so clingy like a child?"
"In front of you, I am a child. I just want to cling to you." His arms wrapped around her waist, refusing to let go.
Juniper could hardly move, "I need to put the plate down."
Anthony took the plate from her hand and easily placed it on the top shelf.
"I really need to go," Juniper said, feeling like she had a large pendant hanging from her waist, making it hard to move.
She slowly made her way from the kitchen to the living room, "Can you stop being so unreasonable?"
"No, I can't. I don't want to let you go; I want to cling to you," Anthony decided to follow her, hanging onto her and refusing to let go.
Juniper said, "Please, can you act like a CEO?"
"No, I just want you. In front of you, I'm not a CEO."
"Are you a clingy plaster?" Juniper said, both amused and annoyed, looking at the six-foot-plus human attachment latching onto her waist. How could anyone be like this? She really couldn't handle it.
"Whatever you say, as long as I can cling to you, I'll accept it."
In the end, Juniper gave in to the clingy plaster and stayed the night.
After their intimate moment, she lazily rested in his arms, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
They were becoming more and more in sync, and each time felt better than the last.
Every time she thought it couldn't get any better, the next time would surprise her, leaving her completely immersed.
Anthony lay on his side, gently stroking her face, his eyes filled with deep affection, "Juniper."
"Mm?" She hummed softly with her eyes closed, like a lazy Persian cat.
"Move in with me."
Juniper was taken aback and slowly opened her eyes, "Move in together? You mean..."
"Yes, live with me."
Although she often stayed over, living together was different.
Juniper was caught off guard, "Isn't this too fast? We've only been dating for half a month."
"Too fast? We're already at the point where we could get married, aren't we? If you're willing, we could register for marriage tomorrow morning."
"I still think it's a bit too fast."
Juniper didn't know why she felt awkward. Maybe it was just too sudden, but she wasn't opposed to it.
She hadn't even told him she was pregnant yet.
"Let's take it step by step, okay?" Juniper said slowly, afraid he would be disappointed.
"Okay, I just want the first person I see when I wake up and the last person I see before I sleep to be you. I want to be with you all the time. When I can't see you, I miss you terribly."
"I feel the same, but isn't it said that love needs some distance? If it burns too intensely at the start, it will burn out quickly. I don't want that. A slow and steady relationship is better, right? And if we see each other every day, I'm afraid you'll get tired of me."
"Silly, how could you worry about that? Seeing you every day will only make me love you more and want to be with you more."
"How do you know? The feelings between a married couple fade because they see each other every day. Although love turns into affection, I still hope to maintain the passion of love for longer. Like now, spending half the time here and half at home, isn't that just right?"
Anthony sighed, "I guess I'm too impulsive and can't be as rational as you."
"It's not like that. Everyone has different thoughts. I know you want to spend more time together because you love me," Juniper comforted him. "I also love being with you. As for living together, I'll seriously consider it and give you an answer soon, okay?"
"Am I loving you too much and giving you pressure?" Anthony worried, "Just do what you think is best. Don't worry about me. For me, your happiness, comfort, and well-being are the most important."
"Anthony, thank you for respecting me and always putting my feelings first."
Anthony gently kissed her lips, "You're my queen, my little princess. Isn't it right to put you first?"
"Haha, aren't you afraid of spoiling me? Spoiling me until I'm out of control? What if I don't listen to you then?"
"Wouldn't that be good? Spoiling you until other men can't handle you, so you can't leave me."
Juniper widened her eyes, "Wow, I didn't expect you to be so scheming, Anthony."
Her small hand pressed against his chest, "With such schemes, will you bully me in the future?"
