Phoenix raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Astoria with a playful tone:

"Wife, you are provoking me, your husband!"

His words were full of joking and intimacy, and this kind of light-hearted banter was a common way of interacting between them.

Phoenix always has this way of making Astoria feel warm and happy.

As his words fell, Phoenix's face slowly moved closer to Astoria.

His movements were gentle and slow, as if he was enjoying the intimacy of the moment.

Astoria was used to this kind of closeness to Phoenix, she knew every little move and habit of his.

However, just then, Astoria felt Phoenix's hand gently placed on the back of her head, the action causing her heartbeat to speed up slightly.

She was all too familiar with this action; it was Phoenix's usual way of expressing his affection between them.

She knew that if she dared to admit that this was a provocation, Phoenix would definitely kiss her without hesitation and respond to her provocation in his own way.

Astoria's face flushed slightly, her eyes flickering with mischief and anticipation.

She knew what Phoenix's action meant.

She also knew that no matter how she answered, Phoenix would use his own way to make her feel his love and care.

In this warm moment, the atmosphere between the two was full of love and understanding.

Every move and every word of Phoenix conveyed to Astoria his deep affection for her.

And Astoria, even though she sometimes pretended to be angry, her heart was full of love and trust for Phoenix.

Although Astoria's heart was filled with tenderness for Phoenix, she pretended to be unyielding on the surface.

She snorted and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Humph, you can't see now, so just stay here and rest."

There was a hint of reproach in her words, but more of it was concern and love for him.

She hopes Phoenix can have a good rest and not neglect his body because of a momentary desire to play.

Then, Astoria added provocatively:

"Even if you want to kiss me now, you probably won't kiss the right spot!"

There was a hint of mischief in her words, and she said it deliberately to see how Phoenix would respond.

She knew that Phoenix's perception was very sharp and he could find her accurately even if he couldn't see her.

As Astoria expected, Phoenix was not intimidated by her provocation.

He kissed her directly, his movements were quick and accurate. Phoenix's lips found Astoria's lips accurately and gently held them. The kiss was full of tenderness and affection.

Astoria was surprised and touched by his kiss.

She hadn't expected Phoenix to be able to find her so accurately even though he couldn't see her.

Astoria felt her heart beating quickly and powerfully in her chest, and the "thump" and "thump" sounds seemed to echo in her ears.

This feeling of accelerated heartbeat was not because of Phoenix's kiss.

Even though his kisses always made her feel warm and loved.

But this time, her heart beat faster because she deliberately provoked Phoenix and wanted him to kiss her.

She knew in her heart that she had a deep desire for Phoenix's kiss, and that kind of intimate contact always made her feel safe and cherished.

But Astoria was a proud and reserved person. She was not good at expressing her needs directly, and was even more reluctant to tell Phoenix directly that she wanted his kiss.

She was afraid that would make her seem too proactive and lose her usual reserve and pride.

Therefore, she chose to guide Phoenix in a provocative way, which was a clever way to maintain her pride and achieve her wish.

She knew that Phoenix understood her and could read her little thoughts, so she deliberately said that as both a challenge and an invitation.

When Phoenix's lips really touched hers, she felt a sense of victory and a sweet shyness in her heart.

She closed her eyes and lost herself in the kiss, feeling Phoenix's love and tenderness.

Her heartbeat became more intense at this moment. This was the intimate contact she had longed for, and it was also the unspoken understanding between her and Phoenix.

Astoria's little tricks are a unique emotional game between her and Phoenix.

Phoenix was so absorbed in the kiss that he was completely oblivious to the little drama going on in Astoria's mind.

For him, the kiss itself was a pleasure, a sweet exchange.

He didn't realize that Astoria's heartbeat was speeding up because of her little thoughts, he was simply enjoying the intimate moment between him and his lover.

In his heart, Phoenix still had a hint of pride and satisfaction.

He felt Astoria's lips were softer than ever before, which surprised him.

Moreover, he also detected a faint aroma of grapes, which made him secretly guess that Astoria must have eaten grapes before.

The discovery of such details gave him a special joy, because he was able to feel the life of Astoria through such small details.

Phoenix's feelings and discoveries made him cherish this kiss even more.

He kissed her gently, savoring Astoria's softness and the scent of the grapes.

To him, this kiss was not just a simple gesture, but a deep emotional exchange, a tacit understanding that only the two of them could understand.

This loving "battle" came to an end only when Astoria's cheeks turned red with shyness and she gently pushed Phoenix away.
