The Bound Between Us ( Anastasia )
Chapter 77

Chapter 77 

Herman was kissing Anastasia when he suddenly realized that she had fallen asleep. 

“Look at this silly girl, falling asleep just like that” 

Feeling both amused and helpless, Herman planted a kiss on her forehead. 

“You’re such an easy target. Lucky it’s me you ran into.” 

To Herman, Anastasia was an innocent soul who saw the world through rose-tinted glasses. 

With Anastasia fast asleep, Herman halted his advances. His rationality returned because he wanted their first time to be a conscious and mutual decision 

He tucked Anastasia in and went off to take a shower 

Anastasia was sleeping like a log, totally oblivious to what had happened or where she was. 

After his shower, Herman changed into his pajamas. He was initially thinking of vacating the room for Anastasia and crashing on the living room couch, but he couldn’t resist her beautiful face and decided to stay 

He slid under the covers and spooned her to sleep. 

It was his first time sleeping with Anastasia like this, yet it felt oddly familiar, as if they’d been living this way for years. 

Anastasia was always a restless sleeper, tossing and turning in his arms. Her face was pressed against his chest, and her legs were entwined with his 

She clung to Herman like an octopus, a sleep position that made her feel secure and comfortable 

Herman felt a warm feeling wash over him as he watched her sleep peacefully 

For Herman, this night was a test of self-control. It wasn’t easy having a beauty in his arms and not succumbing to desire 

The next day 

Sunlight streamed in through the window Anastasia woke up, stretched lazily, and was about to get ready for work when she noticed something was off. This wasn’t her room. 

This was Hermans room and this was Herman’s bed 

Anastasia was taken aback She turned to her side and found Herman still in deep sleep. 

Covering her face, she quickly checked herself. Her clothes were intact, and she felt no discomfort. It seemed like nothing had happened. 

Anastasia heaved a sigh of relief She really shouldn’t drink too much, considering her poor alcohol tolerance 

She wasn’t drunk enough to blackout and started recalling the events of last night. She remembered acting cute, asking for kisses, and chasing Herman 

around. 

“I can’t believe I embarrassed myself like that” 

Would Herman think she had crossed the line? 

Anastasia was extremely embarrassed. So much for her reserved, ladylike image 

With her face burning Anastasia was tugging at her hair in frustration. She decided to make a swift exit before Herman woke up. 

As she was tiptoeing out, Herman opened his eyes. 

He had been awake for a while and already had a smile twinkling in his eyes. 

To spare Anastasia any embarrassment, Herman waited a bit before pretending to just wake up. 

Anastasia was about to leave for work. She was running late, so she didn’t have time to make breakfast. 

Anastasia blushed after seeing Herman awake, “You’re awake. I’m going to work now and didn’t have time to make breakfast Fend for yourself.” 

Herman glanced at the clock, I’m heading to the office too. I can give you a ride” 

“Okay’ 

They had already shared a bed, so what was the big deal about sharing a ride? 

Herman went back to change while Anastasia waited for him at the entrance. During that short wait, she was racking her brain for possible reasons why Herman didnt make a move on her 

Was the not attractive enough? 

Or was there something wrong with Herman? 

As a man, did Herman really have no ulterior motives when sharing a bed with a drunk woman? 

“Let’s go ” 

Herman reappeared with his car keys, snapping Anastasia out of her thoughts. 

“Okay” Anastasia traded behind him with her head down. 

She deliberately lagged a step behind, lost in her thoughts. Herman abruptly stopped walking, and Anastasia, who was looking down, bumped intown. 

I’m sorry” 

Anastasia immediately apologized. 

However, Herman took her hand and led her forward, “What were you thinking about just now? Why are you so distracted?” 

“Uh? Nothing.” Anastasia responded awkwardly with a laugh. 

He asked, ‘Do you feel any regret about last night?” 

Anastasia was speechless. 

How did he manage to ask that so bluntly?
