Chapter 186:
The relationship between Tris and Murphy was now at a rather delicate stage.
Murphy had unreservedly expressed his feelings, hoping to engage in an impure relationship with Tris based on being partners, but Tris was always evasive.
However, she did not intentionally try to play the role of a femme fatale. She was simply worried that her past wild behavior would cause trouble for Murphy. This stemmed from a parental figure’s protective instinct towards their descendant, even though their blood pact had long been dissolved.
Apart from this concern, Tris did not reject Murphy’s occasional overly intimate gestures.
As she herself said, she did not dislike this unique descendant of hers. Since she had not explicitly refused Murphy’s advances, some intimacy that did not cross the line was naturally acceptable.
In the office, Tris allowed Murphy to embrace her slender waist from behind. He gently sniffed the mysterious scent tinged with alcohol and midnight favors from her long hair. However, his hands remained proper, not lingering where they should not.
This was the limit of what Tris could currently accept. Any further would result in a spirit blast in the face.
The good news was that beneath Murphy’s young vampire body lay a soul that was not immature. The cunning socialite understood the principle of “haste makes waste” when it came to matters of the heart. His attitude towards this affection was not merely a passing fancy, he was serious enough and had sufficient patience.
All seasoned men know that a delicious meal cannot be devoured in large bites, it must be savored slowly to fully appreciate its sweetness.
