The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 131

Perhaps he hadn't given her a moment to process anything before he knocked on the door.

It seemed they had entirely bypassed the need for small talk...

He leaned in close to her ear, his lips brushing against the shell of her ear as the searing heat of his body pressed against her skin...

She couldn't help but tremble, biting down hard on her lower lip. As his touch grew bolder, a soft gasp finally slipped from her throat.

"Did you enjoy that little toy?"

"Was it enough for you?"

The sensation was too overwhelming. She shivered violently, completely unable to form a coherent response.

He cast aside all restraint.

She let out a soft moan, her cheeks flushing with a radiant, irresistible warmth.

Reaching out, he gently brushed the tangled hair from her cheek and rested his hand against the side of her neck...

Her breathing turned jagged as she surrendered to his demanding rhythm...

"Mr. Whitaker, this is my eye massager," Elara said, this time firmly standing her ground as she calmly took the device from his hands.

Zane snapped back to reality. Lowering his gaze to mask the dark intensity swirling in his eyes, he asked in a low voice, "Does it work well?"

Elara's cheeks instantly burned crimson. "It's... fine."

His eyes lingered on her flushed face. "Do you want me to give you a few better ones?"

He knew exactly what he was offering.

Assuming he didn't realize what it actually was, she quickly looked down. "No... that won't be necessary."

Terrified that he might insist and blow her cover, she rushed to change the subject. "Mr. Whitaker, the wine is here. You should go decant it."

Zane nodded and stepped out into the living area to handle the wine.

Pretending to grab her phone, Elara stealthily shoved the massager beneath her pillow.

Wait!

Why was her lilac silk underwear still resting on the nightstand?!

Elara's stomach plummeted.

Had he seen that, too?

She squeezed her eyes shut in sheer mortification. This was exactly why a person shouldn't do bad things.
