The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 239

"Be gentle..."

A moment passed.

"Even gentler..."

Zane panted heavily. "Am I being too rough?"

"Mhm... it hurts..."

Zane was puzzled, but he gently turned her over and pulled her onto his lap.

"Don't like this position?"

Elara was too embarrassed to meet his eyes. She whispered, "I had a treatment today. I'm sore."

Zane grew even more confused, but now was not the time to interrogate her. He lifted her up and pressed her down onto the cushions...

He claimed her completely, finding his release in the intoxicating scent of their passion.

Elara was utterly exhausted and drifting off to sleep. By the time Zane finished cleaning her up and returned to her side, she was already fast asleep.

Zane gently pulled her into his arms, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "I love you. Goodnight."

Holding her tight, his heart swelled with an overwhelming sense of fulfillment.

The next morning, Elara left for the office bright and early.

After the finance meeting yesterday, she still had a mountain of follow-up tasks to handle today.

Because she was in such a rush, Zane completely forgot to ask about her mysterious spa treatment.

Elara only stayed at The Sovereign occasionally; she spent the majority of her nights at her own home.

Jasper, who frequently drove Zane home, was well aware of his boss's romantic frustrations.

"Mrs. Sterling is just stringing you along. I suggest you play hard to get. If you stop chasing her around like a lost puppy, she might actually start looking for you instead."

Zane raised an eyebrow from the backseat. "If you're such an expert, why hasn't your girl given you the time of day?"

Jasper was left speechless.

"My girl is young, she doesn't understand love yet. But Mrs. Sterling is a seasoned player."
