Ouch! my ceo fiancé fell for his maid by Lisa alman novel Chapter 126

6-Out Of His Life

There was a ding, and with it, the elevator doors opened. I stepped out with Adonis following me, and I stopped dead short.

The apartment's room which seemed like a living room was huge but with a minimalist approach. It was decorated in all grey, with sleek, modern furniture that gave it a sophisticated and elegant feel.

As I took a step forward, Adonis put his hand on my shoulder and gently guided me towards the couch. "Make yourself comfortable," he said with a smile. ’Can I get you something to drink?" "Water, please," I replied, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the grandeur of the apartment. As Adonis disappeared into the kitchen, I took a moment to look around.

The living room was impressive, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a stunning view of the city skyline. The walls were adorned with tasteful artwork, I was sure at the daytime the room most likely would be filled with natural light that must highlight the space's unique features even more.

Adonis returned with a glass of water and sat down next to me on the couch. "So, what do you think?" he asked, gesturing around the room.

’It's amazing, Adonis" I replied, taking a sip of water.

’I'm glad you like it," Adonis said with a smile, "Should I bring you something else? Maybe a drink?" "No, thanks," I said leaning back on the couch. I didn't want to end up in his bathroom peeing.

Not only this place but the man sitting beside me was also remarkable. He didn't make a move to pounce on me instead kept making the effort to make me feel at home.

Taking a big chug from my glass I again remarked, "I've never seen anything like it. Your apartment is... awesome."

He grinned. "I wasn't sure if you were going to be impressed or think I was a show-off."

I raised an eyebrow. "Are you a show-off?"

Adonis chuckled. "Maybe a little bit. But I prefer to think of it as having good taste."

I rolled my eyes but couldn't help the smile cracking on my lips, "So, should I be expecting a grand gesture every time we hang out?’

Adonis leaned closer, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Depends. Are you a fan of helicopter rides and champagne?"

I laughed. "I think I'll pass that. I'd settle for a nice dinner and good company.’

Adonis leaned back on the couch, still grinning. "Umm. I think I can manage that."

We spent the time talking and getting to know each other better, interrupted by the sound of Adonis's phone ringing.

"I am sorry." He apologized for having to take a call, but I didn't mind. I used the time to explore the apartment a bit more, admiring the taste and the view.

While he was talking at some distance, I could not move away my eyes from his intimidating figure.

In school, every guy who was muscular or a gym freak used to approach me. Elijah was the only one who captured my heart from the very start. He was never a gym lover, but his intelligence and confidence got me.

He was my man who was lanky and nerdy. Even when I used to close my eyes, I could still see him giving me those teasing smiles.

I never thought I would fall for someone else. And the handsome man, talking on the phone who was also a gym freak? Not at all.

I was here just for s3x. To let him out of my system. I was NOT ready for relationships.

When Adonis hung up, he joined me by the windows. "Sorry about that," he said. "Work never seems to stop." ’It's okay," I replied. "I understand."

Adonis turned to face me, his expression was serious. "If you allow me, can I ask you something?" "Sure." Anything for you handsome.

"When I first met you there was ... this strange kind of sadness in your eyes ..." I went still. He was quick to shake his head and hold my hand, "I am sorry. I didn't mean to pry. It’s just that... standing here I again noticed it in your eyes."

I started taking deep breaths and tried to control my speeding heartbeat.

"Hey," there was a gentleness in his eyes, "Don’t tell me anything. You can tell me someday when you think you can trust me enough." He started examining my hand and I started examining his face, "I just wanted to tell you that whenever you are ready, I will be there for you. Please don’t hesitate."

I looked into Adonis's eyes, feeling a warmth spread through my chest. ’ Thank you for the offer, Adonis," I said, smiling. "I... will re...remember about that..."

I tried to speak but couldn't find the right words.

"I understand," he was quick to speak, "You want to go slow, and I take it. I respect that. When I first met you in that club I..." he paused and became a bit hesitant, "Sadness wasn't the only thing that I noticed." I waited for him to speak further.

'Then what else was it apart from my sadness?" I asked him with curiosity.

'Tell me!" I poked my finger into his hard shoulder, "I am waiting! What else did you notice?"

Adonis grinned. "Of course! Your long legs!" "Urgh!" I punched his chest but couldn't hide my amusement. "Brat! Should I be scared?"

Adonis moved closer, I felt his warm breath against my ear. "Only if you're scared of having the time of your life."

As Adonis leaned in, I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine. His presence alone was intoxicating, and his words sent a thrill through my body.

"You know," Adonis said, his voice low and husky, "I've been thinking about you a lot lately. And now that you're here, it's even better than I imagined."

I swallowed hard, my heart beating faster. ’Really?’ I managed to say.

Adonis nodded, his eyes locked with mine. "Really!" he nodded his head slowly.

I couldn't help it when I felt the blush creeping up my cheeks.

By now, his lips were hovering just above mine. "Can I kiss you?" he whispered.

I didn't hesitate to nod, my eyes closing as his lips met mine. It was soft and gentle at first, a tender exploration of each other's mouths. But soon it deepened, and I found myself lost in the sensation of his mouth.

Adonis pulled away slightly, his aqua-green eyes were dark with desire. ’ God, you're beautiful," he breathed, his hands moving to my waist.

I leaned into his touch, my body humming with anticipation. "I want you," I whispered.
