Chapter 216 Jared’s Choice of Dress

“No!” Natasha cried out.

Her face flushed with embarrassment as she rushed straight to the bathroom.

She locked the door behind her, gasping for air.

It took her quite a while to steady her breathing.

She stripped off her clothes and started washing herself.

But after her shower, she realized she had not brought a change of clothes.

To make things worse, there was only one white towel on the rack.

Natasha did not want to share a towel with Jared.

Hence, she walked to the bathroom door and carefully opened it a crack.

“Um… Jared…” Natasha called out, not really expecting him to hear her.

To her astonishment, Jared was standing right outside the bathroom door.

“What is it?” Jared answered almost instantly.

Natasha’s cheeks turned even redder.

‘Was Jared really waiting outside the bathroom, listening in while I showered?’ Natasha wondered, her heart pounding.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady. “Do you have any disposable bath towels?”

Jared replied, “No, just use mine.”

Natasha was stunned into silence.

‘He actually wants me to use his towel? Is he serious?’ Natasha thought. ‘Isn’t he a clean freak?’

Even if Jared did not mind sharing a towel, Natasha definitely did.

Just as Natasha was about to object, Jared handed her a nightgown through the crack in the door.

“Put this on,” he said.

“Oh, okay,” Natasha replied.

Since she had been stressing about not having anything to change into, she grabbed it right away.

She closed the door, still agonizing over whether she should use Jared’s towel./

But if she did not, she could not just stand there soaking wet forever.

After a moment of indecision, she finally gave in and used the towel.

As Natasha used Jared’s towel to dry herself, his unmistakable masculine scent lingered in the air, wrapping around her

senses.

A strange feeling rose in her heart.

Her body tensed, her breathing growing uneven.

‘God, I want him… Natasha thought.

As Natasha patted the droplets from her skin with Jared’s towel, it felt as though his rough hands were tracing over her.

She could feel her body getting warmer, almost without noticing.

An unfamiliar, restless heat flooded through her, leaving her breathless.

Natasha hurriedly shook her head, trying to snap herself out of it.

She and Jared had not even done anything yet.

It was merely his towel, and she was only drying off, nothing more.

Still, she could barely keep herself together.

She turned on the faucet and splashed cold water onto her face, forcing herself to calm down.

Natasha hurriedly slipped into the nightgown.

She caught a glimpse of herself in the bathroo

Successfully unlocked!

‘This is no nightgown! This is obviously lingerie, Natasha thought.

‘Whoever heard of a see-through nightgown? Guess that’s what I get for not paying attention when I took it

Natasha only took a quick glance at it, saw it was a black dress, and put it on.

But once she slipped it on, she realized the fabric was totally see-through under the bathroom lights.

Her body was barely hidden; anyone could catch a glimpse of her curves.

‘If I walk out like this, Jared will see every inch of me!’ Natasha thought.

But on second thought, she changed her mind.

Natasha thought, ‘I came here tonight to hook up with him anyway. If he sees it all, so be it. It’s not like he hasn’t seen me naked before.’

At that thought, Natasha felt herself relax a bit.

She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and stepped out.

Jared was lounging on the couch, looking totally at ease. He waved her over. “Come here.”

Natasha had not expected Jared to still be in the living room.

She had already showered and changed into the lingerie Jared had picked out for her.

‘Shouldn’t Jared be waiting for me in bed right now?’ Natasha thought, a little confused. ‘Or is he planning to get things started right here on the couch?’

After all, they had never hooked up in the living room before.

‘Is he just looking for a thrill, trying something new for excitement?’

Natasha walked over to him, her voice barely above a whisper. “Can we go to the bedroom instead?”

She felt more at ease there.

Jared did not answer her question. Instead, his gaze lingered on Natasha’s wet hair.

His brows furrowed. “Why didn’t you dry your hair?”

Natasha froze for a moment, completely caught off guard. “I forgot.”

Jared studied her intently, his gaze lingering on every inch of her.

Having just stepped out of the shower, Natasha’s skin seemed even smoother and more radiant.

The sheer black dress outlined her shapely silhouette, accentuating every curve.

Jared swallowed hard.

His gaze deepened, something heated and unspoken stirring beneath the surface.

He could not take it anymore; he had to look away.

If he kept staring, he would lose control and end up ravishing Natasha right there.

“Wait for me!” After saying that, Jared turned and went into the bathroom.

Moments later, he came back with a hairdryer.

Jared, who usually carried himself with authority, now patiently stood behind Natasha, drying her hair.

For a moment, Natasha thought she might be dreaming.

‘Is this what guys are like before things get intimate? Do they always get extra gentle and caring?’ Natasha wondered, her heart fluttering.

The quiet hum of the hairdryer surrounded her.

Jared’s fingers moved lightly through her hair, brushing against her scalp now and then.

After what felt like forever, the hum of the hair dryer finally faded away.

Her hair was dry now.

A faint flush spread across Natasha’s cheeks, and a trace of nervousness flickered in her eyes.

‘Now that my hair’s dry, it’s time for us to get intimate, isn’t it?’ Natasha thought, her heart pounding.

Seeing Natasha like this, Jared smiled.

He leaned closer, intending to kiss her.

Natasha tilted her head aside. “No… Let’s go to bed…”

She still felt awkward about hooking up on the living room couch.

Jared pulled her close. “We’re not going to bed yet. Let’s watch a movie first.”

Natasha stared at him, baffled. “Wait, what?”

She figured that after her shower, they would just get right to it.

But unexpectedly, Jared wanted to watch a movie first.

“Why are you so shocked?” Jared asked.
