“Great,” Anna says with a smile. “I have some money saved up.” She shifted to the edge of the bed and reached down for her clothes on the floor. Zack watches her casual dismissal of his questions with amusement mixed with pride. Her practical approach to finances contrasts sharply with his own careless spending habits. “Saved up?” he repeats sceptically as she bends to retrieve her scattered clothing. “Since when do you save money? I have seen you buy

  • Tenderness is a Dangerous Thing   Chapter 150: No Saint

    Zack reaches for the bag of chips Anna left behind, popping one into his mouth and settling back into the pillows. The room feels a little colder without her warmth pressed against her side, and he finds himself subconsciously adjusting the blanket to cover the space she just vacated. “Hurry up,” he adds, his tone softening. “The movie is just getting to the good part.” She quickly goes to the bathroom and returns. “This is perfect,” she says as she settles beside him again.Zack does not even look up from the screen as Anna settles back in, but his hand immediately finds her waist again, pulling her flush against his side as if to make up for the lost time. “Took you long enough,” he grumbles, though there is no heat in it. He nudges her with his hip, making room for her to get comfortable. “I was about to start eating your share of the chips.” He reaches over to the nightstand, grabbing a soda can and popping it op

  • Tenderness is a Dangerous Thing   Chapter 149: Die Hard 2

    “Fine. Action movie it is. At least it is not some slow-burn romance where nothing happens for two hours,” Zack grumbles, though he is already leaning his head back to get comfortable. “But if it is terrible, I get to pick the next one.” He pops a chip into his mouth; his green eyes fixed on the screen as the opening credits begin to roll.“Have you ever seen it?” Anna asks casually as she takes another chip. Zack chews slowly, thinking for a second before shaking his head. “Nah, I have seen the first one like once when I was a kid, but the rest? No clue.” He shifts closer to her, his arm settling naturally around her shoulders as he pulls her into his side. The room is quiet except for the sound of the movie and the crunch of chips. “Why, you going to spoil the plot for me?” he asks with a grin, nudging her shoulder with his. He reached for a chocolate bar from the pile on the nightstand, unwrapping it with one hand

  • Tenderness is a Dangerous Thing   Chapter 148: Snacks

    “Snacks. Of course,” Zack says, his voice thick with affection. “You are a menace, you know that? We are in the middle of a motel room, you have got no clothes, and all you can think about is chips and candy.” He pulls back just enough to look at Anna, his hands sliding down to rest on her waist. The cool air of the room hits their damp skin, but the heat between them keeps it at bay. “I will get your bag. And I will find your damn vending machine,” he promises, giving her waist a gentle squeeze. “But do not think this gets you out of paying those high rates later. I am picking out the snacks too, so no healthy shit.” She kisses him again. “Thank you,” she sings sweetly. His hands tightened on her waist or a brief moment at her sweetness, before he let out a long, defeated breath.Zack knows he is completely wrapped around Anna’s finger, and he is long past trying to fight it. “Stop doing that,” he

  • Tenderness is a Dangerous Thing   Chapter 147: Rates

    Zack’s hands slide down her arms, his thumbs tracing slow, deliberate circles over her elbows before moving to her collarbone. The soapy water drips from his fingers, catching the dim light of the bathroom. He works with a focused intensity, his touch firm enough to leave a trail of warmth wherever he presses. “You are so quiet,” he notes, his voice a low rumble against her skin as he moves to her shoulders. “Usually, you have got something witty to say back to me.” He does not wait for an answer, instead letting his hands roam lower, his palms smoothing over the curves of her torso beneath the water. “That’s it,” he murmurs, his eyes meeting hers over her shoulder. “Just relax for me. I have got you.”“I am just enjoying the services,” Anna says with a playful smile. Zack’s smirk widened with pride at her response, as he moves his hands down her sides, his fingers pressing lighting into her waist.

  • Tenderness is a Dangerous Thing   Chapter 146: Hair Wash

    Zack’s competitive nature softens into something more vulnerable as he leans back against Anna’s chest fully, letting her hold him for a moment. The warm water swirls around their bodies while steam rises in gentle wisps between them. “I am serious though,” he says quietly, his voice losing its usual edge. “I want to grow old with you. watch you get wrinkles and complain about your back hurting and still think you are the most beautiful woman in the room.” His free hand splashes water playfully at her side underwater. She laughs softly. “Now is that not an image,” she says with a strange amusement. “It actually sounds very romantic.” Zack’s face lights up with triumphant satisfaction at her romantic response, his chest swelling with pride as he feels her laugh against his back.“Romantic? Fuck yes, it is,” Zack says confidently, turning to face Anna fully in the tub. Water cascades down his muscular

    “Oh yeah?” Zack growls lowly, his hands sliding down from Anna’s shoulders to grip her waist firmly. “You had better fucking mean that. Because if you make me sit through some spa treatment with cucumber slices on my eyes, I am expecting payback.” His thumbs dug into her hips possessively while his green eyes lock onto hers with intense focus, searching for any sign of hesitation in her promise. “Tell me exactly what you have in mind,” he commands roughly, his voice carrying that dominant edge she finds too irresistible. “I could oil you up.” She says playfully. “Give you a more intimate massage…” her voice carries a seductively suggestive tone. His eyes darken with obvious desire at her seductive suggestion.The steamy bathroom feels like it is closing it around them as Zack pulls Anna flush against his chest, one hand sliding up to grip the back of her neck possessively. “Fuck yes,” he grow

    “Okay, but nothing to fancy. My parent will get me a new one at the end of the month,” Anna concedes with a soft smile. Zack’s aggressive posture softens slightly at her agreeable tone, though the stubborn set of his jaw remains. “End of the month is too long. What if some

  • Tenderness is a Dangerous Thing   Chapter 87: The Clock is Ticking

    Zack’s lips curve into a predatory smile against Anna’s. “The clock is ticking, sweetheart, which means we need to hurry this up.” His hands become more urgent, exploring every inch of newly exposed skin with practiced ease. One hand slides down her back to cup her ass whi

    “I would prefer a purple Vespa, thank you,” Anna said playfully. “And if I get bored, I will just have to give you a ride.” Her voice became more seductive and she glanced at Zack over her shoulder. Zack’s green eyes flash with heat at the suggestive undertone in Ann

    “I need the bathroom really quick,” Anna said casually as she stretched her hands over her head, causing Zack’s plain blue jersey to ride up a reveal a strip of her bare stomach. “Go ahead,” Zack said, his voice thick with barely contained desire. “I will watch
