“You’re really willing to do anything?” he asks, just to be sure.
“Isn’t that what I said? I’ll promise you anything. I’ll do anything you want. I agree to it all,” she says with
determination.
“So you’ve made your decision. Then I’ll tell you what I want. I want you to please me.”
How dare she reveal her eagerness to sacrifice everything for another man before him? He can’t stand
it. He wants to punish her for it. He wants to ensure she’ll never dare act like this again. But he hadn’t
expected to see her hesitate.
But that’s even better. It means she doesn’t actually love Aaron unconditionally. It means she’d just
gotten swept up in it all. That’s it. Thinking of this, he feels quite gratified. He won’t allow her to ever
think of another man, she can only think of him. How he’s become this demanding, he doesn’t know.
“I know you are injured, so rest. I won’t force you to answer me at this moment, but I’m warning you: if
you leave this room, you will never find out about Aaron.” He knows that she won’t—he holds all the
cards. He’s not worried, he just knows she won’t give up on Aaron just yet, it will take a bit of time.
But just as he’s turning to leave, Aileen speaks. “I promise you, I can fulfill your demand right now.”
He freezes. Is she mad? She’s been ill, hasn’t fully recovered yet, how can she fulfill his demand now?
She’s lost her mind. Despite the sudden heat in his veins, he wants to smack some sense into her.
“Have you lost it? How could you try to please me now?” He can’t stand the way she’s become. He
wants her to fight back, not to lower herself like this. He doesn’t know it’s because of her prejudice
against him or because of something else, but he knows he doesn’t like this.
But Aileen is not on the same page. She thinks Richard is testing her, and that as long as she goes
along, as long as she does anything and everything he asks, he’ll tell her about Aaron. This is all she
can do. As for pleasing a man… she’s already slept with him, to do it again is nothing. Her illness is
nothing. She can do this.
She walks right up to him, and before he can react, stands on her toes to kiss him on the lips.
Her lips are very soft and sweet, if a little clumsy, likely because she’s not gotten proper rest after her
surgery. Thus her whole body is soft, loose. At first he wants to push her away, but the moment her lips
touch his, his resolve melts away.
He hadn’t expected that at the slightest taste, he’d be addicted to her. She feels so good against him.
Though he’s kissed other women before, it’s never been like this. He’s infatuated. Consumed.
He can’t help himself. He fears he’ll succumb to what she wants but he doesn’t care. He kisses her
back, can’t help but lean in to her.
His lower half has already had a reaction, and he’d not expected it to be so fierce. He’d wanted her to
be obsessed with him, but it’s he who’s obsessed with her. With just a simple kiss, she’s ignited his
desire. He’d greatly underestimated his affinity for her.
He lifts her up in his arms. A kiss isn’t enough to satisfy him anymore. He wants more. He’d never
before thought of himself as full of lust, but it’s like she’s pressed a button on his body, released it all.
She’s surely cast a spell on him. That’s the only explanation for it.
Before he would have thought his current behavior crazy. But now, he likes this feeling. He feels time
could stop at this very moment.
Yet he’s being very gentle. Aileen can feel it. Is it because she’s just undergone surgery? Or is she
mistaken? She’d already prepared herself for his roughness, but he’s treating her like she’s delicate.
It’s entirely unlike him.
