Chapter 197 of "Mute Mate: The Alpha's Obsession" begins with suspense: "What are you doing here?" Stephanie asked, surprised to see Zekel entering the room through... Don’t stop reading!

"What are you doing here?" Stephanie asked, surprised to see Zekel entering the room through the window. She had decided to check on her music stuff, maybe try creating a note since she couldn’t sleep. It was already midnight.Just as she was halfway through, she had finally decided to rest. Even though she didn’t feel like sleeping, it would be better to just shut her eyes—at least to avoid any under-eye bags. That was what she told herself. Only for her to turn, and there, climbing the window, was no other than Lord Zekel. She crossed her arms. "Who knew a responsible man would be able to climb the window like this, hmm?" she spoke, trying her best to sound annoyed, but a small smile crept to her lips as she sat on the bed. Zekel’s eyes locked on hers. A smirk moved across his calm and collected face. "If irresponsible is the perfect name to call it, then fine, I don’t mind that, Lady Stephanie." To her surprise, he walked to the middle of the room ever so calmly, their gazes locking. Before she knew it, he began to strip. Her lips parted. A chuckle escaped through the room as Zekel’s calm voice made her heart stutter. Why was he making her feel this way when he wasn’t even doing anything? Not to mention, she was acting like this when she was the same person who felt annoyed earlier that night that he hadn’t visited—and now, he was here. She was acting like she didn’t care. She wondered how long she could keep up with this her behavior. "Why do you have such thoughts, hmm, my lady?" he spoke as another chuckle left his lips. Stephanie’s lips pursed upwards as her stomach did a dangerous flip. Her face burned, but she managed to maintain a semblance of control. "And how do you know what I’m thinking, you dirty-minded man?" she spoke. Zekel’s lips curled upwards as his shirt finally fell to the floor. He was now left in his pants. He walked towards the bed, his eyes locked possessively on her. Stephanie was unable to shift her gaze as she gulped; his hair was slightly disheveled, and those eyes that felt like they could strip her skin and read her thoughts were locked on her. "All I want is a cuddle... nothing more, except it is initiated by you... or me," he slowly spoke as he climbed onto the bed gently and knelt. Stephanie managed to shift her gaze away from those eyes of his as her heart skipped. She had thought she was finally free—but she wasn’t. She was now faced with his perfect muscles and abs. Despite the mark on his abs, he looked drop-dead perfect. "Hmmm, it seems a certain beautiful lady is drooling hard. Careful, we wouldn’t want you wetting your dress before my hands do the work." Stephanie’s eyes widened at his words as she glared at him hard, but it didn’t even seem like one—it felt more like an invitation. "Who knew? My body is already doing the work hmm. Just imagine if I was completely naked, fuc..." His words trailed off as her hand had already moved to his lips. She was now kneeling because Zekel was kneeling on the bed—he hadn’t laid yet—and those words of his were making her heart beat louder and louder. If he continued, she might actually... She glared at him. "You’re such a bad man." She spat but felt his tongue lick the center of her palm, and she immediately pulled away. Zekel held her waist possessively. As he moved, they both laid on the bed. Her window was open, and the room was cold as the cool air swept through it. Stephanie rested her face on his chest as she hugged him. Zekel pulled the duvet to cover them both. "If you still feel cold, do not hesitate to ask. I would make you warm in no time," his deep voice resonated through her, making sweet shivers jolt through her spine. "Youuu..." her words were caught off by his as he placed a soft kiss on her palm. His hands gently caressed hers. "You are very breathtaking, my angel. Did you know that I saw the stars today, and they were bright—but not as bright as your eyes right now." Stephanie fell silent as she shifted her gaze, her heart racing. She prayed silently that he couldn’t feel it. The seriousness in his eyes showed that he wasn’t joking, but even still, Stephanie spoke softly. "Stop over-exaggerating, Lord Zekel," she said quietly, and even though she knew he meant it, she was just saying that to hear more of those words from him. "Oh, I am not... I know you know that, sugar. And let me tell you something—there is a song I like to hear from you. That is my favorite song, and I would forever love it," he spoke as Stephanie’s lips parted in surprise. She knew she had sung it for Zekel countless times. But she had no idea that hers was the best. Zekel was the kind brother, one of the greatest swordsmen, and had gone to different kingdoms. He had seen lots of people with voices out of this world during balls, king’s visits, and coronations, so this alone made her so emotional. "And I want that song to be only for me. Do not ever sing it for any soul. If you do—" his words died down, and to her surprise, the air immediately turned suffocating as she stared at him wide-eyed. He didn’t need to say what he would do; the air had already spoken before he did. Her heart skipped as she began to think which song it was...she had sung many songs to him. What if she had sung that song to someone before? "Do you want to know what song it is?" he asked calmly as the air returned to normal. She nodded as she tried to think of what song it could be. "Tell me, Zek," she softly spoke as Zekel’s eyes glinted. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N()velFire.net "Sing it—I want to hear it, she softly said, and Zekel’s body stiffened for some unknown reason. Her saying those words made his body shiver; her voice was so damn seductive. He moved, his hands sliding to her knees as he gently caressed them. Before Stephanie knew it, his hands had traveled to her inner thighs, his fingers lightly pinching her clit. Stephanie’s body jolted in shock, a moan escaping her lips. "Ahhh~~~" Zekel’s lips curled upwards as his hands moved his hands gently moved to her neck as he turned her face to meet his. Their eyes locked. "That’s the introduction to my favorite song, sugar..."
