The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 158

Rory began nodding off and was almost out like a light when she wrapped her chubby hands around Avery's neck.

As she snuggled deeper into the warm embrace, she mumbled, “Ms. Ery, you smell so nice...”

On the other side of the bed, Cayden was rendered speechless.

It was a spacious and luxuriously decorated bedroom, and the only sources of light at that moment were from the two dimly lit wall lights above the bed. Apart from the bed, everything else in the room was shrouded in darkness.

Avery gently caressed Rory's head, hoping she could coax the kid to sleep as soon as possible.

Surprisingly, Rory's determination was fiercer than Avery could ever imagine. Instead of crying or throwing a tantrum, she was well-behaved and only occasionally whined for the latter's attention.

“Ms. Ery, I want to touch your boobies,” Rory muttered as her hand started to grope around.

Avery knew it was common for five-year-olds to touch their mothers' breasts to sleep, but the problem was, there was a man in the bed!

How could she not be embarrassed by that?

After a long inner struggle, Avery finally gazed at the little girl in her arms and decided not to push her away.

We've been torn apart for five years. Now that my daughter has such a simple request, how can I possibly turn her down?

“Sure. Go to bed once you've touched them. Tomorrow morning, I'll make a delicious breakfast for you!” Avery exclaimed as she slid Rory's little hand into her shirt.

Having fondled what she wanted, Rory cuddled tighter against Avery and fell into a deep sleep, looking like a happy daughter with her loving mother.

Once again, the interaction had left Cayden speechless.

Afraid of waking her daughter up, Avery barely moved an inch as she continued to lay on her side.

It was past midnight when she found herself slowly drifting off to sleep.

That said, even when she was sleeping, she was still acutely aware of her surroundings. Avery knew she had Rory in her arms and didn't want to risk crushing her, so she never once turned in her sleep.

However, as the night went on, she gradually felt her daughter's hand on her breast moving away, leaving a damp spot behind.

Avery stretched an arm out to hug Rory and to let the kid know she was still there, but unfortunately, there was no one beside her.

After feeling around for a bit more and realizing the side of the bed was empty, Avery woke up in a panic.

Her eyes flew open as she sat up and scanned the surroundings. Seconds later, her brow had knitted into a frown.

Huh? Why isn't there anyone in the room?

The wall lights were on, and Avery could tell that a child had slept in the bed. Alas, the child was gone.

She froze in shock for more than ten seconds before getting out of bed and putting on her slippers to head outside.

Just as she got to the door, Avery saw Cayden walking out of Rory's bedroom.

He gently closed the door to his daughter's room and turned to return to his.

When their gazes met, Avery was the first to blurt out, “W-Why did you take the kid away?”

After waking up, Avery's skin was pale and smooth, like a peeled egg that glowed under the soft moonlight. The men's shirt and pants on her had become wrinkled, but the messy look only seemed to make her even more alluring than before.

“Your sleeping posture's terrible. I was scared you'd crush Rory,” Cayden said as he walked past Avery and into the bedroom.

Avery frowned.

What? Did he say my sleeping posture's terrible? What nonsense!

Annoyed, she followed behind Cayden. “I'll have you know that my sleeping posture has always been good! Grandpa said so when I was a kid, my classmates said so back in school, and all my roommates had said the same too! I—”

As she rambled on, Cayden suddenly grabbed her face and kissed her hard.

In response, Avery instinctively stood on tiptoes to meet his height.

After realizing what she had done, she immediately snapped out of her daze and pushed against Cayden's firm chest.

“Ah! Mmph...”

Alas, instead of stopping, Cayden pushed his luck further. He moved his hands to the back of Avery's head and started caressing her silky smooth hair.

The fragrance of her hair wafted to him as his breathing intensified, allowing the intoxicating scents to course through his body.

Avery, on the other hand, felt a tingling sensation all over. The beautiful night, coupled with Cayden's calloused fingers grazing against her skin, had sent chills down her spine.

“No. Please don't...” Avery moaned when Cayden finally pulled himself away from her lips.

However, before she could say anything else, he kissed her with such passion that she felt her head spinning around.

He littered kisses all over her face, from her lashes and down to her lips, nose, and even her chin.

“No. Ahh...”

Avery lowered her head in a panic, only to see Cayden unbuttoning her shirt and pushing it off her shoulders.

Then, he unbuckled her bra and let the straps slowly slide down her pale, slender arms.

As soon as her top fell to the ground, Cayden buried his face in her chest and opened his mouth.

Avery tensed up and almost felt her soul leaving her body.

Without a word, Cayden scooped her up and placed her on the bed, pulling her pair of oversized men's pants off as he did.

“Cayden, you'll wake the kids up...” Avery groaned as she struggled and tried to fight him off.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. Cayden merely pressed her down with a smug expression and began disrobing himself.

“Y-You...” Avery choked out in wide-eyed shock when she realized he wore nothing under his robe.

Just as he gripped her slender waist, Avery began moving her body, causing the bed to make a loud creaking sound.

With every thrust, her body, too, would tremble with ecstasy.

At that moment, Zachary had come out of his room to use the bathroom when he heard the commotion. Curious, he knocked on Cayden's door before opening it.

“Daddy, Ms. Ery, what's wrong?” he asked, standing drowsily at the door as he looked at Cayden and Avery.

Even though Avery had a blanket wrapped around her body, her breathing had yet to settle. “Umm... I saw a big rat!” she replied casually.

“Big rat?” Zachary exclaimed, feeling a lot more awake than before. Oh, my gosh! I can't believe Dad's room has rats!

By then, Avery's face had turned red as a tomato.

“How big was the rat? Was it a rat monster?” Zachary added, eyes widening with every second.

Naturally, Avery had no idea how to respond to that.

Cayden promptly tied his robe back together and stepped off the bed. “The size of the rat has nothing to do with you. Go back to bed,” he ordered as he turned around and frowned at his son.

“Daddy, you've always said no to letting me keep a big rat. Now that we have one roaming around the house, can you let me keep it once you find it? After all, it did come here on its own,” Zachary pleaded while walking away to use the bathroom.

For someone who had always wanted to have a pet rat, it was no wonder he was so excited about it.

“The big rat wants to play with Ms. Ery,” Cayden replied grimly.

“But the big rat will scare her...” Zachary remarked before getting thrown back into his room by his father.

Back on the bed, Avery was starting to feel the warmth spread all over her body. When she thought about the “big rat” on Cayden's body, she couldn't help but shudder.
