Chapter 135
But this was different.
The man before her unbuttoned his collar with one hand,
revealing his collarbone and lean muscles, his body radiating a
mature, masculine scent.
With him, Madeleine was at a loss…
She was about to say more, but Roderick’s aggressive kiss
descended, swallowing all her words.
The room was quiet.
There was only the sound of breathing and the occasional, blush–inducing sound of kisses.
Roderick didn’t just stop at that. He fumbled with Madeleine’s
blouse, and in a few quick movements, he had pulled her arms
free.
The room was a bit cool, but Madeleine’s body was frighteningly hot.
She was trembling all over with nervousness.
Chapter 135
When she felt Roderick’s large hand move down, trying to slip
inside her camisole…
“Mmph!”
Madeleine’s eyes widened, and she quickly shook her head to
stop him.
Roderick pulled away from her lips.
His gaze was fiery, questioning.
“Roderick… I’m… scared.”
Madeleine’s voice was trembling.
Just those words, and the wall around Roderick’s heart seemed
to crumble.
He saw Madeleine’s eyes sparkling, with what looked like a few
tears clinging to her lashes, and his heart immediately softened.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Roderick leaned in and kissed her forehead.
“I won’t tease you anymore.”
Chapter 135
Roderick’s voice was low and hoarse, tinged with restraint. He
took a deep breath and straightened Madeleine’s shirt.
Madeleine’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes still misty, like a
frightened little rabbit huddled in the corner of the sofa.
She bit her lower lip and mumbled, “Why’d you have to do that
all of a sudden?”
Roderick chuckled, reaching out to ruffle the top of her head,
his tone a mix of helplessness and affection, “Who started it by
teasing me first?”
Madeleine glared at him defiantly, but the corners of her eyes
were still red. The look had no menace at all; instead, it made
Roderick’s chest tighten again.
He closed his eyes, suppressing the urge, and got up to pour a
glass of cold water, which he downed in one go.
The cold water sliding down his throat finally calmed him down.
a bit.
“We should get ready. If we don’t leave soon, they’ll call to rush
us.”
As Madeleine spoke, she got up to leave, but was pulled back

at the door.
Roderick hugged her, suddenly lowered his head, and sucked
hard on her neck.
“This is your punishment.”
His voice was impossibly hoarse.
Madeleine let out a small cry, hitting his shoulder. “Don’t leave a
mark!”
“Too late.”
Roderick left another clear red mark just above her collarbone
before letting her go, satisfied.
He could wait.
He’d waited this long; another day or two wouldn’t make a
difference.
When the time was right, he would devour this little rabbit
whole.
I had just gotten up and was ready to leave when there was a
knock on the door.
Chapter 135
It was Kevin.
The kid has a strong sense of time. He knew we were going to
his grandpa’s tonight, so he came over right on schedule.
“Dad, Mom, why did you lock the door?”
Roderick had just opened the door when he heard the little
guy’s confused voice.
Roderick couldn’t help but smile.
“We were busy.”
Afraid that Roderick would say something inappropriate in front
of the child, Madeleine quickly knelt down to be at eye level with
her son.
“Maddie, sweetie, Mommy and Daddy were just discussing
something important. For work.”
Kevin didn’t say anything. He tilted his head, his eyes fixed on
Madeleine’s neck.
He frowned, his tone serious. “Mom, you’re hurt here.”
