Chapter 286

"I'll pamper myself with a spa day while I'm there!" Audrey declared, dismissing his concern with a flick of her wrist.

With a determined grip, she pulled the attendant along. "Tell me everything about your signature treatments. I want the full experience."

Dominic remained rooted in place, watching her retreating figure until it vanished around the corner. After a brief pause, he exhaled sharply and turned back toward Seabreeze Villa.

He knelt on the sofa, his fingers working deftly at the buttons of her blouse.

Vivian found herself momentarily lost in the heat of his touch.

But a quick glance around the room snapped her back to awareness. "Adrian, wait!"

He misinterpreted her hesitation as playful resistance.

His hand slid beneath the waistband of her skirt, encountering undeniable evidence of her arousal.

His skilled fingers traced circles against her most sensitive spot as he leaned in, his voice husky. "Tell me you don't want this."

Vivian's breath came in shallow gasps, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

She suppressed a moan, her voice barely audible. "Not here..."

Her eyes darted toward the entrance. "Audrey and Dominic could return any minute..."

Adrian paused briefly before withdrawing.

Reaching above her, he activated the smart lock system with a decisive press.

The electronic chime signaled their privacy as he murmured, "Relax. No one's interrupting us now." Vivian attempted to sit up, her momentary clarity breaking through the haze.

The movement brought her lips dangerously close to his belt buckle.

His masculine scent - warm with hints of sandalwood - permeated the fabric, making her pulse quicken.

Adrian stilled for a heartbeat before swiftly undoing his belt.

Once freed, his arousal became impossible to ignore.

His voice dropped to a rough whisper. "Show me what that pretty mouth can do."

This was Vivian's first proper look at him fully aroused, and the impressive size made her throat go dry.

Suddenly all those times she'd felt overwhelmed made perfect sense, leaving her both intrigued and slightly apprehensive.

He exhaled impatiently, his fingers threading through her hair to guide her closer.

Despite her inexperience, she didn't resist.

Earlier in Seabreeze Villa, Adrian had carried Vivian into the living room and deposited her gently on the plush sofa.

Yet even after setting her down, he remained hovering close, unwilling to break contact.

Vivian gazed up at him, her brow furrowing slightly in confusion.
