Exiting the elevator, Cayden walked toward the entrance of an exquisite suite and placed his eye in front of the retinal scanner. The lock was specifically designed to be highly secured. An automated voice welcomed his arrival as he was granted access.
“Cayden, let me go...” Avery's raspy voice became more seductive as the drug continued to run its course.
Her body was becoming increasingly uncomfortable. With all of her might, she willed herself to suppress the desire to pounce on him and forced herself to maintain her rationality.
Cayden moved his lips closer to Avery's smooth earlobes as the smirk on his face widened. “Then we shall see if you are willing to let me go.”
As Avery continued to twist her feminine body subconsciously in his arms, Cayden carried her into a massive suite.
The automated lights were triggered as they stepped inside. Countless elegant lamps were embedded in the walls all the way to the dome above their heads.
Within seconds, a soft silver glow emitted from the room, illuminating the entire suite.
Yet the most remarkable feature of the suite was the thick glass ceilings of the dome.
Through the glass ceilings, the beautiful starry night sky lay plain for all to see.
In the dark of night, the faint glow of the moon looked like a clear mirror hanging in the sky. Countless stars twinkled around the moon, shining in varying brightness like diamonds being woven closely together into the black velvet sky.
They seemed to be winking mischievously at the world, as though they shared a cosmic secret with the universe.
It was breath-taking.
Avery let out an involuntary gasp at the sight, lost in thought, unaware of a pair of cold, fierce eyes gazing at her as though she was as mesmerizing as the starry night.
“Like it here?” Cayden's sexy, low voice brought Avery back to her senses.
A trace of embarrassment flickered across her dark-colored eyes.
Despite having no energy in her body, she still attempted to push him away as hard as she could. “Cayden, if you've brought me here to humiliate me, then you're wasting your time.”
Cayden glanced at her coldly. Rip! In one swift movement, his huge hand yanked off the bathrobe covering her bare body. The robe fell to the ground almost immediately before Cayden pushed her, causing her to fall heavily onto the bed behind her.
“Since you're burning with lust, why don't I satisfy you tonight?”
“You—” Avery had thought that she would hurt from falling backward. To her surprise, the bed was unexpectedly soft. She did not feel any pain at all.
However, she was consumed with a sense of shame as she lay completely naked in front of him without a hint of cover.
Despite having multiple intimate encounters with him, at the end of the day, they were not husband and wife. Overwhelmed by shame, an embarrassed yelp escaped Avery's lips.
To her horror, Avery realized that the voice she had just made was far more suggestive than she'd hoped. She sounded like the female lead in a bed scene from pornography.
Moreover, her skin was burning so much that it was abnormally red and swollen. Wave after wave of heat rolled in her lower belly.
Upon feeling the warm fluid escaping from between her legs, Avery blushed even more furiously.
What on earth did Dylan feed me? It's so strong...
The sweat on Avery's forehead had not stopped dripping. Curling herself up into a ball, Avery wrapped her arms around her bare chest, cursing herself silently for having the strong desire to throw herself onto him and an even stronger desire for his strong chest and embrace.
Under the influence of the drugs, Avery's body twisted involuntarily.
As she lay on the soft, comfortable king-sized bed, her logical thinking was invaded by her reproductive instinct. She even began caressing her own breasts uncontrollably.
Her gorgeous body was like the juicy flesh of a freshly-peeled fruit that presented itself fully in front of Cayden.
Staring at Avery's admirable body, he noticed that her eyes were gradually going from sharp to unfocused. Looks like the drug is still running its course and it's getting stronger.
He could not deny that Avery looked incredibly delicious at the moment. The mere sight of her body caused his desire to skyrocket!
Nonetheless, Cayden stopped himself from releasing his desire, as well as rescuing Avery from hers. Instead, he took a seat next to her and held her burning chin. A low growl escaped his lips. “Look at you acting so impatient. No wonder Dylan wouldn't divorce you no matter what.”
“Cayden, you...”
Avery was fuming. She was panting so hard that she could barely even speak.
At that moment, she did not even bother to retort to his insult as she was under great physical torment. Her body had felt as though tens of thousands of worms were gnawing at the insides of her body.
The torment was so unbearable that she wanted to slam herself against a wall. Dropping her pride, she began earnestly pleading for him to save her.
After a long while, Cayden finally picked her up.
A sense of hope rose in Avery's chest, thinking that her antidote had arrived. To her surprise, he placed her inside an oval bathtub without another word.
Plop.
Avery's body submerged under the water at the sound.
The water inside the bathtub was warm, causing the heat Avery was feeling on her body to intensify. At the stimulus of the hot water, Avery felt her body burning even more.
It was so bad that she struggled to get out of the water.
The fragrance of the rose petals in the bathtub overwhelmed her senses as the steaming water continued to torment her mind. She felt as though she was on the brink of losing it!
All of a sudden, her nose was filled with the fresh fragrance of body shampoo.
Avery looked at Cayden as the latter poured a huge bottle of shampoo into the tub, not sparing a single drop.
“Clean yourself up. I do not want a single trace of another man's scent on your body!”
Cayden's words were like a sharp knife to Avery's chest.
Avery returned to her senses, suddenly aware of how much he minded that another man touched her.
The rim of her eyes began to ache as she tried to swallow the grievance, shame, and fury in her throat.
If he thought that she was dirty and had no trust in her, explaining herself to him would just be a waste of effort. Since he thinks that I'm just a woman who sleeps around, why do I even bother explaining myself?
“Since that's how you think of me, Cayden, I'm done explaining myself to you anymore. I've never been a good girl. A good girl would not have sold her body to a guy for money, not to mention bearing him two children for money. You're right. I am dirty, and so what? You're just a customer who paid for me. Do you think you're high and mighty? What right do you have to disdain me?”
Avery met his black eyes stubbornly, no longer allowing herself to be weak and vulnerable under his accusatory gaze.
Her words made Cayden's gaze go cold.
Bending down his tall body, he stared at Avery's body, which had turned red from the hot water, and declared unwaveringly, “Avery, from the moment I bought you, you were meant to be only my woman. Apart from me, anyone who touches you will not live to see the next sunrise!”
Avery held her bitter tears back. Taking a sharp breath, she closed her eyes. “Looks like I've always been your property in your eyes. I understand now. Thank you for letting me know. Guess it was only me who was fooling myself all this while, Mr. Moore.”
The words “Mr. Moore” on Avery's lips enraged Cayden.
He was livid after hearing what she had said.
This woman somehow always manages to make me lose my cool!
The love bites on Avery's skin were becoming a bigger eyesore. Furious, Cayden plunged her entire body into the water and began scrubbing her body with his rough hands, intending to rid her of the stain with his own hands.
