The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 216

When she took the lead, he had absolutely no defenses left.

Gripping her waist, he applied just a fraction of strength and easily flipped her so she was straddling his hips.

Suddenly, Zane remembered the pregnancy scare. Panic flashed in his eyes as he held her hips still. "Are you okay?"

What a total mood killer.

Elara looped her arms around his neck and leaned down to capture his lips again.

Zane refused to let his guard down. "Wait, wait—"

"What if you're actually pregnant?"

Elara ignored him entirely. "I'm not." Her hands slid brazenly under the hem of his t-shirt.

Zane quickly caught her wrists. "Just in case."

"Julian and I didn't get pregnant for years. If it were that easy, it would have happened a long time ago," she murmured, shifting her hips slightly against him.

A low, throaty groan tore from Zane's chest, and he immediately clamped his hands down to anchor her waist. "We really can't."

Elara frowned in mild confusion. Was she just terrible at seducing men?

Maybe she had always been too stiff and proper, making her utterly boring in bed.

Perhaps that was why Julian had strayed.

She genuinely considered taking a masterclass on the subject.

Looking down at Zane, she felt even more perplexed. His mouth was saying no, but the arms locked around her waist were pulling her flush against him with an iron grip.

What did that mean?

Were they doing this or not?

Zane pulled her down so her chest was flush against his, his breath hot against her ear. "Can I just... rub a little?"

Elara nodded and reached down, intending to strip off her underwear.

Zane swiftly stopped her. "No—"

"Just like this."

Elara wrapped her arms around his neck. So, was he tempted or not?

Zane's fragile thread of self-control wasn't just because he was terrified of a potential pregnancy. There was another, far more humiliating reason: he hadn't taken his performance anxiety pills!

He was deathly afraid of losing his stamina halfway through and making an absolute fool of himself.
