Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Going back Inside

Hera felt overwhelmed under the gaze of his deep blue eyes, her throat tightening with emotion. "N-no need," she managed to say, her voice strained. She cleared her throat, averting her gaze from his. "I didn't do it for rewards or anything like that. I just did what I felt was right."

Hera couldn't quite grasp the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her. In just a few short minutes, so much had transpired between them that her feelings had become a tangled mess. She knew she wasn't alone in this, and neither was he. She found herself oddly impressed by his remarkable self-control, resisting impulses that would have overwhelmed others in his state.

Leo couldn't help but smile at Hera's response. He knew that Hera couldn't see his expressions because of their position but he was happy because it was her who had found him in this dire situation. He was happy that Hera did not repulse his touch that much.
