His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 449

Standing at the threshold of the hotel room, Lana felt like a shrimp left too long on the grill—her face was burning, and she was certain she was blushing furiously.

This was the first time in her life she’d ever gone to a hotel with a man.

She wasn’t a kid anymore, but when it came to relationships, she was completely inexperienced.

She had no idea what she was supposed to do right now—honestly, she’d never even dreamed she’d be in this situation. She’d been the one to ask Jarrett out, but somehow, he’d ended up buying the tickets—and not just any tickets, but a two-day, one-night package.

“Maybe… we should just forget it…” she stammered.

“Forget what?” Jarrett asked, resting a hand lightly on her shoulder.

With his other hand, he swiped the keycard and opened the heavy hotel door.

“I got us a two-day pass. Are you really going to bail on me now?” There was a hint of wounded pride in his voice.

“No, I want to be with you,” Lana blurted out, glancing up at him. The moment she met his amused, gentle gaze, her heart raced uncontrollably.

She’d met handsome men before—Elmer, who was all polished charm, and Jonathan, whose good looks were matched only by his intimidating authority.

But only Jarrett made her feel this dizzy and breathless.

Her cheeks burned even hotter, her whole body going stiff with nerves. She wasn’t sure whether she’d walked in on her own or Jarrett had all but guided her to the bed, but suddenly they were there, side by side.

“Um… isn’t this… maybe we’re moving a little fast?” Lana’s tongue tripped over the words.

Jarrett smiled, a slow, knowing grin.

“Do you not like me?”

“I—I… I do…” Her voice faded to a whisper, barely audible even to herself.

“Then trust me,” Jarrett said softly, his words almost hypnotic. “Relax. I promise I’ll be gentle with you…”

She couldn’t resist that calm, magnetic voice. She had no idea how her clothes ended up in a pile on the floor, no recollection of how she’d ended up beneath Jarrett on the bed—only that everything seemed to blur together in a rush of heat and sensation.
