She said this and walked over, at Nathan pulled her hand away.
“This time, don’t buy a smaller size again.” He lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
“I know my own size!” Stella’s ears were burning. She broke free of his grip and hurried into the store.
“Really? Then how did you manage to buy the smallest one last time” Nathan pointed to the moment when Stella’s bra button came undone.
He always thought that this happened because her lingerie was too small.
Stella gave him an annoyed look and ignored him, but Nathan just laughed softly.
His face was getting redder and redder. She used her hands to pat her cheeks and, in her heart, cursed him.
As Nathan waited outside, Stella didn’t take long. After all, these pieces would be hidden anyway, so she didn’t really worry about style, just picked out a few combinations in the right size.
As she left the store, she noticed that Nathan was sitting on the railing opposite, with his back to her. Below him, the ocean stretched out. He was smoking.
He looked sexy as he surveyed the landscape.
Sexy?
Stella pursed her lips in a smile. She had no idea how those words had come into her mind.
A group of girls passed by, discreetly pointing at Nathan while whispering. Some even took out their cell phones to take a picture.
He noticed. Suddenly he turned his head and, noticing Stella, smiled in fascination.
Twirling his cigarette between his fingers, he approached. His gaze landed on the bag Stella was carrying.
“Did you buy the right size?”
“Yes!”
Stella didn’t understand how he could know her size so precisely. Besides, last time, her lingerie hadn’t been small, the batton had only come off because of the pushing and pulling between them.
“And the style
“Nathan, that’s enough! She shouted softly, knowing he was teasing her on purpose. She ignored him and went on her way with a red face.
Even in the darkness of the night, Nathan could see her blush.
Stella looked at the phone display:
“It’s ten o’clock… How about we head back?”
“It’s still early.” Nathan replied without enthusiasm.

“But tomorrow you work.”
He took her hand and pointed to a place not far away.
“Let’s go to that bar. Today is the beer festival, it happens once a year here, and there’s a special event.”
Beer festival?
Stella had never seen that. She nodded. Even if they went, it wouldn take them more than an hour. They’d be back around eleven.
The bar was huge. It usually had a quiet atmosphere, with singers performing every night. Couples liked to dance, chat or… live out
a romance.
Rio de Janeiro was a tourist city. Many young people came here, got involved in passing affairs and went their separate ways when their vacation was over. No contact, just a game of romance.
This bar, famous for its engaging atmosphere, was called Eu te quero
When they arrived, the event was already in full swing. The game of the evening aroused the public’s enthusiasm: the couples had to hold a sip of beer in their mouths and kiss. The couple who held the beer for the longest would win and a special prize.
Several pairs had already taken the stage.
Nathan leaned close to Stella’s ear.
“Do you want to take part?” Without thinking, she shook her head.
“No.”
Nathan smiled. A dangerous smile.
Stella felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was about to happen. And before she could react, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto the stage.
Before she knew it, she was surrounded by the presenters and a cheering crowd.
“Shall we go down, please?”
“Are you scared?”
Before she could answer, the presenter announced the start of the game. They were handed glasses of beer and instructed to hold the liquid in their mouths.<
Stella had no escape. She brought the glass to her lips and took a sip. It was black beer, just the kind she liked least.
She grimaced. She wanted to spit it out, but before she could do anything, Nathan grabbed her chin and kissed her.
The challenge was harder than it looked. Holding the kiss and the beer at the same time was suffocating. Stella stiffened. She tried to say something, but couldn’t. All that remained was to hold on.
Nathan held her face firmly, preventing her from giving up.
She didn’t know how much time had passed. Her mind was empty. All she could hear were the shouts and applause from the crowd.
When she felt she couldn’t take it anymore, Nathan finally let her go

They both still had beer in their mouths.
The unexpected? They had won.
The presenter announced that they were the winners, and she was still a little dizzy, and felt the beer in her mouth and wanted to look for a place to throw it up, but Nathan pulled her close and kissed her lips.
The tip of his tongue took control of her mouth and he swallowed the beer from inside her mouth.
The people around them started screaming again.
Finally, the presenter handed over the gift, Nathan took it. Stella felt at this moment that the gaze of all the people was on them, she coughed slightly and said quietly: “Let’s go.”
They had finished the game, and it wasn’t early either, Stella didn’t want to stand there and be watched by the crowd.
Fortunately, this time Nathan didn’t reject her idea, he nodded and held her hands to leave the bar.
When he left the bar, he had already opened the present, and the time Stella wanted to see him, he immediately closed it.
Stella’s face was full of bewilderment.
“What’s inside?”
“I’ll let you have a look later.”
‘Nathan took the box and held her hand to walk to the parking space.
The longer he stood like this, the more curious she became, she simply felt the urgency to know what was inside the box, why wouldn’t this man let her see?
