The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 74

The lights flickered back on, illuminating the room. Zane knew the decoy in the adjacent suite had finished her job and safely exited the floor. He sat in the chair by the bed, an unlit cigarette clenched between his teeth, his gaze fixed on the exhausted woman sleeping peacefully under the sheets.

She wasn't particularly experienced, her reactions endearingly innocent. He highly doubted she had ever truly found her release before tonight. But under the influence of the drug, she had been insatiable. That intoxicating contrast between a sophisticated woman and a sweet, yielding girl was utterly breathtaking. It made his heart ache. It made him crave more. It made him want to strip away every boundary and claim her completely.

Zane glanced down at his own lap. He certainly couldn't leave the room in this state. He switched off all the lights, navigated his way to the bathroom in the dark, and unbuckled his belt. The heavy darkness concealed his deepest, most primal desires. Standing under the shower, he clamped his jaw shut, refusing to make a single sound. In the dead of night, the only noise was the ragged, heavy sound of his breathing.

Elara had a long, intense dream. The details were a blur, but she remembered a faceless man. He had felt incredibly safe to hold, making her heart race wildly in her chest. In that dream, she had experienced a mind-shattering euphoria. She felt as though she was floating on a cloud of pure bliss. It was a level of pleasure she had never known existed—wave after crashing wave, making her feel as if she were bursting into a million pieces. She never knew such explosive, uncontrollable passion was even possible. She had surrendered completely, blossoming perfectly at the absolute peak.

Elara slowly fluttered her eyes open. The room was perfectly still, and she was entirely alone. The horrifying memory of the previous night suddenly rushed back, and she bolted upright in bed. This was a hotel room! Was everything ruined? Was that shameful pleasure she felt... because she had been assaulted?! Blind panic seized her chest. What was she going to do? What the hell was she going to do?! She was going to kill him, even if it meant taking herself down with him! Tears stinging her eyes, Elara stumbled out of bed.
