Chapter 40: Urges

After dinner, it was already close to ten o’clock.

Rosaline spoke up, "It’s getting late. Why don’t you stay the night here and leave tomorrow?"

"Alright."

Alicia stayed downstairs with Rosaline for a while, watching television before eventually heading upstairs to wash up.

Alexander, meanwhile, was still working in the library.

Not long after, however, he began to feel dizzy. Closing his laptop, he stood up and returned to the bedroom.

The room was empty, but the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Alicia was taking a shower.

Alexander’s heart began to race as several images flashed through his mind.

His brows furrowed as an unusual warmth spread through his body.

He knew exactly what was happening.

Walking to the wardrobe, he grabbed his pajamas, intending to use the other bathroom to wash up.

But when he tried the door handle, he realized—

It was locked.

He tried again, but the door wouldn’t budge. Suddenly it dawned on him—the door had been locked from the outside.

He said nothing. He simply stood there quietly, listening to the sound of water running in the bathroom while an increasing restlessness grew inside him. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The sound of the water slowly stopped.

Alicia walked out and froze in surprise when she saw Alexander sitting at the edge of the bed. She had forgotten to grab her pajamas since they always kept spare clothes here.

Her hair was still damp, and she was wrapped in a bath towel that hung loosely across her chest, barely covering her hips. Her neck looked graceful, her shoulders slender and smooth. The towel could hardly hide the curves of her body.

Alexander seemed to recall how it had once felt.

Her long legs, pale as milk, were exposed, smooth like satin.

Their eyes met.

Alicia quickly looked away and walked toward the walk-in closet.

"What are you doing sitting here? Why haven’t you washed up?"

Alexander’s gaze was dark and intense as he stared at her.

"The door was locked from the outside," he replied in a low voice.

Alicia immediately understood and pointed toward the bathroom inside the room.
