Chapter 56: A Fiery Kiss and Breathlessness
After listening to Ethaniel, Kayla slowly turned her head and asked, “Are you saying that Brady figured out our relationship?”
“No, I told him,” Ethaniel replied bluntly.
“Why did you tell him?” Kayla couldn’t understand. If Ethaniel was wary of Brady, why would he reveal such information?
Ethaniel smiled faintly without offering much of an explanation. “It couldn’t be hidden from them anyway.”
Kayla said nothing, glancing over at Oliver who was skewering meat in the small pavilion, feeling relieved that as long as Oliver didn’t know, it was fine.
Ethaniel pulled her back into the yard. “Have something to eat. There’s crab, your favorite.”
“I never said I like crab,” Kayla retorted habitually, though she swallowed hard at the sight of the deliciously roasted king crab.
Ethaniel smiled and handed her a piece of scallop. “Then try this first.”
“Oh,” Kayla muttered, poking at the scallop meat and taking small bites.
Oliver, having removed the long pieces of crab meat, placed them on a small plate and handed it to his dad.
Ethaniel patted Oliver’s head, then took his son’s hard work and offered it to Kayla. “Try this.”
Kayla’s eyes widened in delight as she quickly stuffed the crab meat into her mouth, her eyes closing in bliss.
This was so good, so fresh!
Seeing her satisfied expression, Ethaniel placed a piece of grilled oyster in her plate, saying lightly, “So, you’re not going back to the villa tonight?”
“No,” Kayla replied firmly. The cold war had been interrupted by the crab, but she was still upset.
“Alright,” Ethaniel nodded, naturally adding, “Then I’ll stay here tonight.”
“No, I don’t agree!”
“The house belongs to my dad, so why don’t you agree?” Oliver’s words were bold but factual.
Kayla looked at the father and son duo, gritting her teeth. “Then I’ll stay at the station’s dormitory.”
“Fine,” Ethaniel said indifferently. “I’ll have a word with your chief. Let’s see if your car is faster or my phone call.”
Such a shameless threat delivered in such a calm tone.
Seeing that spending the night at the police dormitory was impossible, but also unwilling to stay with Ethaniel, Kayla had an idea.
So, after the barbecue, when Ethaniel and Oliver finished cleaning up the yard, they found Kayla had locked her bedroom door.
Ethaniel knocked on the door a few times, and Kayla’s voice came from inside. “If you’re staying, sleep in the next room with Oliver. Call me for breakfast in the morning!”
… Was his only role to make her breakfast?
Ethaniel, naturally, didn’t kick down the door without any manners. He turned to the next room, where Oliver was frowning at the small wooden single bed with disdain.
For someone who grew up in Tandoria like Oliver, these conditions were indeed not ideal.
“Don’t like it?” Ethaniel asked coolly.
Oliver lowered his head and said quietly, “It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that I’m not used to it.”
“Habits are formed gradually . You should also try living like an ordinary person,” Ethaniel never spoiled Oliver.
As the head of the Lacroix Family, he had started from living in a basement and worked his way up to where he was now.
When Oliver was born, Ethaniel had already controlled the Lacroix Family, and Oliver had never experienced commoner life, always growing up in the family estate.
“Dad,” Oliver looked at Ethaniel, whispering, “Aren’t you going to find her?”
Ethaniel raised an eyebrow.
Oliver quickly jumped onto the bed, sitting obediently. “I’ll sleep by myself. Goodnight, Dad.”
Seeing his sensible son, Ethaniel smiled and left.
Kayla thought Ethaniel would eventually take Oliver back to his villa.
So, when a figure jumped into her room through the window, Kayla was stunned.
“You!” Kayla angrily grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.
“Yeah,” Ethaniel caught the pillow and put it back on the bed, starting to undress.
“… Hey, get out!” Kayla was furious as Ethaniel began unbuttoning his shirt.
Ethaniel casually took off his shirt, revealing his toned muscles, his purple eyes looking at Kayla indifferently. “I agreed.”
Kayla was puzzled. “Agreed to what?”
“To wake you up for breakfast.” Ethaniel pulled off his belt and unbuttoned his pants.
“–!” Kayla was so angry she nearly spat blood, grabbing the pillow to hit him again.
“I’m just fulfilling your request, and…” Ethaniel looked at her flushed face, suddenly smiling, “Your shirt buttons are undone.”
Kayla quickly looked down to check, “Nonsense, you… mm–” Before she could finish, her mouth was sealed by his cool lips.
His lips gently kissed her soft lips, making Kayla want to punch him.
Ethaniel expertly caught her swinging fist, pressing her down on the bed, pinning her wrists above her head. He bit her tender lip, and as she gasped, his tongue slipped in.
The heated, deep kiss completely shattered Kayla’s composure.
“Mm… mm…” Unconsciously adjusting her face to a better kissing angle, Kayla felt her tongue being tangled and sucked several times before he let go.
Ethaniel’s lips lightly bit her now-red lips before moving down to her neck and slowly towards her collarbone.
“Ah…” Kayla gasped softly, immediately biting her lower lip to stifle any sound.
This wasn’t Ethaniel’s villa; the soundproofing wasn’t that good.
“Afraid to make noise?” Ethaniel’s lips paused by her ear, biting her earlobe and teasing it until it turned red, then he chuckled softly. “Then you better hold it in. Don’t let Ollie hear.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
This man was too much!
Kayla’s eyes welled up as she glared at him. “Bastard!”
“Don’t rush…” Ethaniel chuckled, releasing her reddened earlobe and moving his lips down to her breast.
Using his teeth, Ethaniel undid each crystal button on her pale green lace nightgown.
He skillfully undid the nightgown, exposing Kayla’s supple skin to the cool air, causing her to shiver slightly.
His hot kisses landed on her breast, leaving marks on her delicate skin like blossoming flowers. Kayla didn’t dare make a sound, but the places he kissed… really tingled, like an electric current running through her, leaving her body completely limp…
“Kayla, Kayla…” He called her name over and over.
Ethaniel’s voice was soft, but in her ear, it drowned out everything else, leaving only his voice in her world.
Kayla’s hands, pinned above her head, rendered her unable to resist, leaving her to endure his teasing.
She tried to move her wrists, but they wouldn’t budge. This man kept calling her name, making her extremely nervous.
“Kayla, relax a bit. If you’re this tense, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself…” Ethaniel didn’t consider her feelings, intensifying his actions. One of his long legs wedged between hers, rubbing through the thin fabric of her pajamas.
“You…” Kayla’s eyes were moist, her face flushed as she glared at him. “Shut up.”
Her look had no deterrent effect. Ethaniel smiled. His smile was captivating, making Kayla’s mind even foggier. Ethaniel lowered his head, continuing to whisper in her ear, “Kayla, hmm? Kayla…”
Enough!
Kayla, driven to her limit by his teasing, turned her head, using her lips to fiercely stop his incessant murmuring.
A kiss delivered willingly deserved to be fully enjoyed.
Ethaniel, an adept businessman, took full advantage, kissing her soft lips until they were swollen and red. As Kayla lost herself in the kiss, he subtly released her restrained hands.
His long fingers undid the white silk pajama pants ribbon…
