Chapter 1774
Vermont took Felicity’s hand and put it on his shoulder, grinning. "Right here. I'll do it without asking for money. It's all about art."
Felicity's eyes sparkled when she heard that Vermont would do it for free. She grabbed his hand and asked eagerly," When can
we start?"
Vermont put his arm around her waist and whispered, "Right now."
Saying that, he bent down and lifted her up.
Felicity put her arm around his neck, her face red. She asked nervously, "Are you really doing this for free?"
"Yep," Vermont said, rubbing his nose against hers. "Just let me give you a kiss."
Felicity blushed even more, partly from shyness and partly from the alcohol. She stuttered, "l-lf I let you kiss me more, can I keep
studying you?"
"Absolutely," Vermont chuckled, feeling generous. He whispered in her ear, "You can study me all night."
Felicity couldn't wait any longer. "Let's head back now."
"As you command." Vermont chuckled.
Vermont had only teased her, but Felicity took his words seriously. Once they were back home, she wouldn't stop
bothering him.
While Vermont helped take off her shoes, she complained," You liar. When can I start studying you?"
Vermont removed her socks as he replied, "We have to wait until you're sober."
Felicity glared at him. "I'm totally sober right now!"
Vermont raised an eyebrow. "Then who am I?"
"Stinky Cucumber!"
Vermont was momentarily speechless.
"My name."
Felicity pouted and reluctantly said, "Vermont Snyder."
"Remember we broke up?"
Felicity stared at him for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, I do."
"Hey, we've broken up, so I can't let you study me. Plus, you're drunk right now. I can't take advantage of you," Vermont
explained, trying to reason with Felicity as he reached for her jacket.
Annoyed by his explanations, Felicity suddenly twisted Vermont's arm behind his back and pinned him down on the couch.
She used both hands to twist his arm further and knelt on his back, completely immobilizing him.
Vermont felt frustrated being pinned down again. With his face half-buried in the couch, he said helplessly, "You're going to hurt
my arm. Please let me go."
Ignoring his plea, Felicity grabbed a tie from a drawer and used it to bind his hands.
Vermont was shocked. "Miss Bandit? What are you doing?"
"Shut up!" Felicity's face flushed crimson as she tied his hands. "You deceived me! If you won't let me study you, I'll do it myself!"
Vermont started to panic.
"Hey, let's talk this out calmly," Vermont urged, but Felicity, fueled by alcohol, had an unusual strength. Vermont couldn't break
free and began pleading, "It's late, and I have work tomorr-Mmmph-"
Before he could finish, Felicity stuffed a towel into his mouth, silencing him.
The house became eerily quiet.
Felicity got up, settled on the floor, and stared at him.
Vermont glared at her, motioning for her to release him.
Propping her cheeks on her hands, Felicity frowned. Then, unexpectedly, she reached over and unbuttoned Vermont's shirt,
leaving him utterly shocked.
When she finished, Felicity felt a sense of accomplishment, but it wasn't enough.
So, she shifted her gaze from his toned abdomen to his belt.
