Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Susanne bolted with the pricey box of chocolates, her whole body shaking like a leaf as she thought, 'That hot guy is seriously intense. But damn, he is sexy! The way he kissed Lela is just mesmerizing.' Susanne bit her lip, blushing as her mind wandered. Girls her age often got curious about stuff like that.

But every time she thought of Lela, a weird jealousy crept in. Why did all the cute guys flock to her? Charley did, and now this guy too. Sure, Lela was a bit prettier, but what else did she have? Plus, Lela was juggling two guys at once! Lela was popular because of her looks, but those would fade, and then what?

Gregory and Zoe rushed over, looking worried. "Where have you been?"

Susanne felt irritated just seeing them. She tossed the chocolates into Gregory's cart and turned away to keep shopping.

Meanwhile, Sylvester was doting on Lela. If she stared at something for more than a second, he'd grab it for her. Pretty soon, Lela's arms were overflowing with snacks, no room left for actual groceries.

Sylvester just smiled, shaking his head. Lela gave him a playful look. "I want all these snacks. You can't take them away."

Sylvester pinched her cheek, amused. "Alright, I won't."

Lela lay down in the cart, looking up at him. "But what about the ingredients? If you can't cook, what will I eat?" She had this adorable look, waiting for him to cook for her. Sylvester loved that look. He leaned down, his voice low and teasing. "Don't worry. If I ever let you go hungry, you can eat me."

Lela's eyes sparkled, and she asked playfully, "How do I eat you?"

Sylvester leaned in, hands on either side of her, and kissed her. "Like this."

Lela pushed him away, rolling her eyes. "Eat you? No, thanks."

Sylvester stood up, lifted her out of the cart, and gave her a playful pat. "You actually despise me." Luckily, no one was around, or Lela would have been super embarrassed. Lela dragged Sylvester around, buying a ton of expensive snacks before they finally stopped. They headed to the checkout together. The cashier smiled at the attractive pair.

Lela stood at the front of the cart, waiting to check out. Sylvester noticed something by the counter, raised an eyebrow, and started picking through the items.

After their three-day and night marathon of sex, he was out of supplies. Lela was still young and not ready for a baby. He couldn't let her take birth control pills, so it was always good to stock up. The cashier, blushing, introduced, "They're new, with different flavors."

Lela, on the other side, couldn't see what it was, just that Sylvester was picking something. She heard the cashier mention flavors, and her eyes lit up. "What is it? What flavors?"

The cashier just smiled. Sylvester smirked. "Sweet candy. What flavors do you want, baby?"

Lela thought for a moment. "Peach, strawberry, mango, I want them all."

"Alright," Sylvester said, grabbing the whole box, all in the largest size.
