YM778.TV Chapter 21 - 21: She actually made two mistakes in a row.
Lily Gray was at a loss for words, she had no idea how to express that, in order to make him cooperate, she had no choice but to kiss him herself.
Her small, delicate lips passionately mimicked his previous motions.
But after kissing him for a while, she received no response.
Frustrated, she sighed and stopped.
Finally, the man gave a soft, teasing chuckle and lowered his head to respond to her clumsy attempt with his own kiss.
Ethan Wilson was loving it, the woman taking charge.
While he kissed her back, he let her lead.
Lily Gray’s slim hands glided from the back of his neck to his broad shoulders, then firmly trailed down his strong, muscular back.
Her fingertips left long, distinct scratches along his firm muscles.
Until he could no longer suppress the desire welling up within him.
The night was still young…
That night, for once, Ethan Wilson demonstrated patience towards a woman.
Several times afterward, he even held the woman, who had fallen sound asleep from exhaustion, in his arms, and tenderly took her to the bathroom to clean up.
In the past, he’d easily dismiss women who threw themselves at him.
But with Lily Gray, he had a profound, inexplicable connection.
He didn’t understand it, but he knew, he was now very satisfied with this woman.
Whether in body or status, she was the most suitable candidate.
His hand gently caressed the woman in his arms as he surprisingly fell asleep holding her.
Just like that, holding her until daybreak…
*
The next morning, Lily Gray was awakened by her biological clock.
She’d been serving Michelle Carter in the Lucas family for half a year now, and had developed a habit of rising early.
“Ugh…” She twisted her neck lightly. Even though she wasn’t sleepy, the aches in her body and limbs made her not want to open her eyes.
She couldn’t help but rub her face against the warm, springy blanket… It was so comfortable.
Wait a minute., springy?
Which blanket has springiness?!
Lily Gray suddenly realized that what she was lying on was not a bedsheet or blanket.
The glistening honey-colored muscle, it clearly belonged to a mature man’s body.
As her hands panicked and tried to push herself up and away, she accidentally felt the texture of his muscle beneath her palm.
Hold on, if he was not wearing any clothes, then what about her?!
It took Lily two seconds to remember to look down, and when she did, she found her mouth falling open.
“All–” She was frozen in place.
She… she was completely naked!
By the time Ethan had been roused awake by the woman’s shenanigans.
With a casual wave of his hand, he pulled the fleeing Lily Gray back into his arms and murmured.
“Be good and stay still… Let’s sleep a while longer.”
The freshly awakened man’s voice dripped with laziness and a sensuality that was commonly unfound in him.
He was not one to laze around in bed, nor was he fond of sleeping, but there was no denying that holding this delicate woman made even sleep incredibly comfortable.
“Who are you…? No, could you please leave first?”
Pressed against the man’s chest, Lily Gray was overwhelmed by his scent. She had rarely been this intimate with a man, other than that absurd night, she had never done such a thing with a man.
But now, not only had she casually slept with a man, she had done it again and again.
Had she really fallen so low?
Even as part of her revenge plan against Austin Lucas, once was enough. There was no need for Lily Gray to repeat the act with different men to get back at an unfaithful man!
“Sir… I don’t know why things turned out this way… but could you please step out? If there’s any problem or if you have any conditions, we can sit down and discuss this calmly.”
She thought that she had gotten drunk last night and had fooled around with some random guy at the banquet.
The man’s reluctance to leave must be because he knew about her identity and wanted more.
She had seen many dark secrets involving the upper-class circle. The man beneath her was probably taking advantage of her and plotting to extract something more.
Finally, the man spoke.
“And what if I refuse to leave?” His domineering voice carried a flirtatious tone that seemed ominously familiar.
Listening to him, Lily Gray could feel her ears burning.
She struggled to focus.
Ignoring the man’s captivating voice.
Ignoring the firmness of his muscles beneath her touch.
And above all else, ignoring the powerful aroma of his pheromones that filled her nostrils.
The man didn’t let go, but instead tightened his hold on her, forcing her to bury her face in his chest.
“Cough.” Lily cleared her throat, maintaining her composure.
“Sir, 1 want to tell you that, 1 am actually already married, 1 have a husband…”
But before she could finish, the man, who had been silently holding her and listening to her words, suddenly moved.
“You…you can’t…” she moaned softly.
Lily was startled, almost biting her own tongue.
Did that sound just come out of her mouth?
How could she make such an embarrassing noise!
She wanted to stop the man, but she didn’t dare to open her mouth again.
At this point, the man was already on top of her, kissing her sensuous lips once again.
“All…” another soft gasp escaped her.
“Be good and stay quiet, I don’t want to hear about any other man in your life.” Especially if this man was her husband in name.
“But 1…” just as Lily tried to explain, he kissed her fiercely again, swallowing the rest of her words.
“You better remember…”
The man’s handsome features seemed to magnify in her eyes. For a moment, she felt as if she could see his face clearly.
Ethan turned her face towards him and looked down at her.
“You were the one that asked for my help last night. You’re the one who started this fire, it’s only fair that you’re the one who puts it out.”
“I… I’m sorry… 1 must have been drunk last night…”
Lily Gray was reminded by the man’s words and vaguely remembered herself drunkenly collapsing in the man’s arms.
“I won’t blame you for this, can you please forget it, um… can we forget it?” She was unable to finish her sentence.
The man seemed to be angered by her words. She was trying to calmly discuss things with him, but each word made the man’s touch rougher.
After a while, it was finally over.
Lily Gray never thought that getting drunk would lead her to such a terrifying man. She groaned as she rubbed her waist and turned over, waiting for the man to leave so that she could get up and clean herself up..
