Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156

“Are you done yet?”

Madeleine felt like he’d been at it for a long time, asking with a

yawn and slightly narrowed eyes.

“Almost.”

It was mostly dry. Roderick turned off the blow–dryer and

smoothed her hair with his palms.

His eyes were still fixed on Madeleine’s neck, where a few

drops of water still clung, slowly sliding down the curve of her

skin and disappearing into the collar of her bathrobe.

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, but the movement of his

hands remained gentle, as if afraid of pulling even a single

strand of her hair.

Madeleine closed her eyes in comfort, sighing like a lazy cat.

“You’re such a pro, Roderick. Did you take classes at a salon?”

Roderick’s eyes were full of amusement.

He suddenly leaned down, his thin lips gently pressing against

that small patch of skin on her neck, his tongue catching the

water droplet that was about to fall.

Madeleine felt a shiver run through her entire body. She quickly

opened her eyes and tried to shrink her neck away.

“Roderick…”

“Don’t hide.”

Roderick wrapped his arms around Madeleine’s neck from

behind, cupping its nape and devoutly kissing away the water

droplets one by one.

It felt like something was nibbling on her, and Madeleine’s neck

felt hot and itchy.

She couldn’t stop a slight tremble, and her voice changed pitch.

“Ro… Roderick, don’t…”

Before she could finish, his large hand moved to her cheek.

Roderick decisively turned her head to face him and sealed her

lips with his.

After kissing for a moment, Roderick, worried her neck would

get uncomfortable, simply picked her up and turned her around.

Then, placing his hands under her arms, he lifted her gently and

sat her on the dressing table.

Trapped between his arms, his hand then cupped her cheek, his

thumb caressing her flushed skin and hot earlobe.

He kissed her again. The mirror reflected their overlapping

figures, the steamy surface making everything look hazy and

ambiguous.

Madeleine couldn’t remember how many times she had kissed

Roderick.

She realized she was becoming more and more accustomed to

his intimacy, even enjoying it.

Lost in the moment, she unconsciously raised her hands and

wrapped them around Roderick’s neck.

But the man in front of her pulled back slightly, his eyes

crinkling with amusement.

“Didn’t you say you couldn’t lift your arms?”

His voice was impossibly low and husky, his breath so hot it

made Madeleine’s face burn instantly.

She didn’t answer, just tilted her head up and continued the

kiss.

Roderick deepened the kiss with a force that wouldn’t be

denied, yet became incredibly gentle the moment his lips

touched hers.

Like a desert traveler finding an oasis.

He drank from her greedily, tangling with her until she could

barely breathe.

The bottles and jars on the dressing table were knocked over,

making a crisp clattering sound.

Startled, Madeleine lifted her leg, and Roderick’s large hand,

which had somehow found its way there, clasped it, sliding up

from her calf.

Everywhere he touched felt like it was being set on fire.

“Wait, wait…”

Madeleine pushed him away, panting.

The daze in Roderick’s eyes hadn’t yet faded.

“Wait again?”

“Kev…”

“He’s already asleep.”

“And your work…”

“It’s done.”

“But I…”

Roderick didn’t give her another chance to speak, kissing her as

he picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom.

His arms were strong and steady, holding her securely, and

Madeleine had to wrap her arms around his neck to keep her

balance.

Roderick had turned on the heat earlier, so the bedroom was

warm and dry.

It even made Madeleine feel a little hot.

She was practically hanging off Roderick, her eyes closed as the

world spun around her. Before she knew it, she had been

tossed onto the bed.

The soft mattress caught her body, bouncing slightly.

Roderick was over her in a second, but he supported himself on

his elbows, keeping his full weight off her.

His gaze was bottomless, and a fire she had never seen before

burned within it.

He didn’t rush to continue, but lowered his head to look at her,

from her eyes to her red lips, as if he were admiring a

masterpiece for the ages.

“What… are you looking at?”

Madeleine’s face was burning hot, and for a moment, she didn’t

know where to look.

With Roderick’s head lowered like that, she had a perfect view

of his exposed, muscular chest.

Unable to control herself for a moment, Madeleine swallowed

hard as she looked away.

Roderick’s lips curved into a smile, a hint of triumph in it.

He gently ran his fingers through Madeleine’s long hair, which

was spread across the pillow, his voice so low only she could

hear: “Do you know what I want to do?”
