Chapter 576 Dress Her

"Hera, rest for now," Zhane said softly, his hand ruffling her hair.

But the look in her eyes, filled with longing and vulnerability, nearly made him lose his resolve. Unable to resist, he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips.

Leo, who had just finished putting away the ointment, didn't stop him.

He, too, felt a deep yearning to give in to the same impulse, to give Hera what she seemed to want.

But unlike Zhane, Leo had more control.

He had been in love with Hera for years, quietly bearing the weight of his possessiveness and jealousy when she was with Alexi.

He had learned to restrain himself, and this moment, though tempting, didn't pose the same challenge for him.

Zhane let his tongue play with Hera's for a moment, savoring the connection before reluctantly pulling away.

He leaned in to press a soft kiss to her forehead, a tender gesture that belied the storm of emotions swirling within him.
