The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 465

Their thing?

What could possibly be going on between them now?

Eyeing Palmer's towel-clad figure and the defined abs peeking through, Noella felt her ears turn scarlet in a heartbeat!

"I'm off to shower!"

She threw these words over her shoulder, darting towards the bathroom, Palmer's soft chuckle following her.

Hearing Palmer's teasing laughter made Noella's ears burn even hotter!

After a quick shower, she found Palmer lounging on the bed with a book, waiting for her.

Setting the book aside upon seeing her, it was clear he had been reading up on Grandpa Sexton's condition lately.

Palmer knew well that to ensure Grandpa Sexton's final days were pain-free, Noella had been the one bearing the brunt of it all.

The medical book, filled with complex Latin and neatly annotated, showed just how much Noella had pored over it.

Reaching out, Palmer pulled Noella close with a firm tug, letting her fall onto him.

"Thank you, you've been through a lot these past days."

"It's what I should do. Grandpa Sexton has always been good to me."

With her face against Palmer's bare chest, the scent of body wash enveloped them, adding a touch of intimacy to the atmosphere.

Lifting Noella slightly, Palmer's gaze, burning with desire, locked onto her eyes as if pulling her into his vortex of passion.

"Noella, I don't think I can wait any longer."

"Wait...for what?"

Feeling Palmer's response and the warmth under her palm was explanation enough for the charged atmosphere.

Meeting those soft, tender eyes, Noella's heart skipped wildly.

"Is it okay? Or do you...prefer to take the lead?"

What was he implying? It was he who was holding her waist, not letting go!

Their position was undeniably suggestive, spurring wild thoughts.

Noella placed her hand over Palmer's mouth.

Yet, his gaze remained intense, full of desire.

Turning off the bedside lamp, Palmer flipped over, cradling Noella in a different embrace.

"Is it okay?"

Even as he struggled to keep his composure, a sheen of sweat appeared on Palmer's forehead, yet he still sought her consent.

Touched, Noella wrapped her arms around Palmer's neck, pressing her lips to his.

"If it's you, then yes."

The moon shone brightly, casting a soft glow all around.

In the spring of their love, joy was everlasting.

…

At the Elara Research Institute.

After wrapping up an experiment, Elara stretched, her neck cracking from the long hours.

Stuck in the lab for weeks had her craving for a break!

Finally free, Elara spun in her chair and said, "Three days off! Go rest up, folks! And don't forget to file for overtime."

"Yay! Thanks, boss!"

Her assistant chimed in, "Make sure you rest too, boss. No sneaky overworking."

"Of course, I'm heading home. Mom said she's cooked up something delicious!"

And it wasn't just Mom; Lavinia Richardson and Sienna were waiting at the Schnabel residence, too!

The thought alone filled Elara with warmth and happiness.
