Chapter 88

That night, the kisses were more fiery and anxious, as if each of us was expressing our point of view without uttering a single word. Yet, although they were intense and rough, they carried a warmth, like a treasure that had to be cherished. When we stripped down to our underwear and walked towards his room, I noticed how some maids jumped in surprise at seeing us, lowering their gazes and hurrying away.
"I have a few hours before I leave on my trip, so it'll be in the shower," he whispered against my lips, lifting me with ease. He kicked open the door to his room while I clung tightly to his neck.
"I-in the shower…?"
"Yes, so hold on tight," he whispered in my ear, causing my body to tremble. When we entered the shower, Mr. Cesar placed me on the ground, walking towards me slowly, unsettling me with his intense presence and predatory gaze. I swallowed hard, my back pressed against the bathroom wall.
"W-what… what are we going to do?" His eyes scanned me silently before he enigmatically replied.
"What do you think…?" he murmured, raising his hand. I closed my eyes and heard the water tap turn on, a downpour falling. I let out a small squeal, jumping into his arms.
"It’s too cold, Mr. Cesar."
"You prefer it warmer?" he said with amusement while I trembled like a leaf. The water covered our bodies, and with his finger, he motioned for me to turn around.
"Quickly." I nodded nervously, turning my back to him. What had once been a cold shower began to warm my skin. I felt his hands on my back, spreading the soap along its curve. I let out a small moan, so natural and uncontrollable that embarrassment overtook me when I heard his laugh.
"I'm just lathering you up."
"D-didn't you say you had to travel?" I stammered nervously as I felt him toy with the clasp of my bra.
"Yes, but after a good shower… I'll leave," he concluded, unclasping my bra. I tried to cover myself, but he removed it quickly. His hands passed over my breasts, and a loud moan escaped my lips as he kneaded them, nibbling at my neck.
"Cesar…" I murmured with difficulty.
"That’s how I wanted to hear you say my name…" I felt his hands glide down my body until he knelt before me, biting my buttock and causing me to cry out. He spun me around abruptly, and as he looked at me, he said,
"Remember… hold on to me." I nodded, panting rapidly. Without hesitation, he pulled down my panties.
"Put your leg on my shoulder."
"What? You’re crazy… I won’t do that."
"Don't be stubborn, lift your leg, Belle," he said firmly, in the way only he could make your hair stand on end. Fearfully, I lifted my leg onto his shoulder. He gripped my hips firmly and leaned in, touching me with his wet mouth. I moaned, clutching his hair, tilting my head back and letting my cries fill the room.
"I'm going to fall apart…" I whispered, feeling my body tremble. Cesar lifted his head from between my legs, licking his lips. Standing, he pulled me up, straddling me. I pushed his wet boxers down with my feet and smiled at him.
"This time, I won’t be gentle, I’m warning you…"
"It’ll hurt…" He smiled, glanced at his watch, and said,
"We don’t have much time. I can’t be as careful, and I don’t want to be. So you can be sure you’ll enjoy this much more than the first time." I nodded slowly, and he thrust into me forcefully, drawing a moan of pleasure from my lips as the room filled with our cries and the loud sound of our bodies colliding.

Belle
As he dressed, I watched him from the bed, cherishing that peaceful moment. This was what it felt like to have a partner. This was what it felt like to love and be loved in return… Even if it was just a little, I liked that attention because it made me feel like I was the only one in his eyes.
"Are you enjoying the view?" he inquired, choosing one of his watches. Adjusting his shirt and grabbing his suit jacket, he turned toward me.
"Yes, I do," I replied, swinging my feet as I rested my chin on my hand.
"You’re lucky I have to leave." He looked at his watch and said,
"What’s happening with your grandfather?" I looked away and murmured softly, but he cupped my chin, lifting it so I would face him.
"It’s not something that can be fixed so quickly."
"We’ll leave it here for now, but when I return… your problems are my problems. I don’t want to hear that you’re looking for my brother to help you."
"But I don’t want to bother you."
"I’d rather you bother me than see someone else play the hero. And stop addressing me so formally, start using ‘you’ casually with me." A smile formed on my lips, and I nodded.
"Alright, Cesar," I said, smiling. He kissed me and said goodbye.
"See you later."
"Can I know where you’re going?" I asked quickly.
"To Puerto Rico. It’s just a quick trip… I want to update the distributors about what’s happened." I smiled in satisfaction and nodded.
"That’s good to hear everything is resolved." He lifted his hand and caressed my cheek.
"In part, it’s all thanks to you… You have a knack for investigating."
"You… and Belladonna," I muttered, lowering my gaze to the floor as I fiddled with my toe.
"That will never happen."
"You won’t marry her?" I asked, looking him in the eyes this time.
"No, Belle… Are you calmer now?" I smiled and nodded, letting him go.
"Yes, you can leave now." I kissed his cheek and returned to the bed. I’ll wait for him peacefully.
