Chapter 355 He Wants to Seduce Her
Victoria choked on her own saliva, covering her mouth as she coughed violently.
She gaped at the sight of a handsome Alexander emerging from the shower, wearing nothing but a white towel around his muscular waist.
Victoria knew Alexander had an impressive physique, with his classic broad shoulders, narrow waist, and eight-pack abs. She never tired of admiring it; the more she looked, the more she loved it. Despite his busy schedule, she had no idea how he found time to work out, as she had never seen him do it.
Alexander had a tall, strong physique with chiseled features and deep, wild eyes that made him irresistibly sexy.
In the refracted light, the water droplets on his body became even more glossy and transparent, adding to his allure.
When Alexander was just two steps away from Victoria, she snapped back to reality.
Victoria raised her hand and made a stop gesture. "Wait, what are you doing?"
Alexander only paused for a few seconds, then took one big step to the bedside, moved her raised hand aside, and looked down at her. "Move over a bit."
Victoria obediently moved to the side.
Then, Alexander lifted the blanket and sat down directly.
Victoria said nothing, as a chill emanated from Alexander beside her.
"Alexander, you're still wet," she reminded him.
"Disgusted?" Alexander turned to her and asked.
Victoria shook her head. "No." She continued, "It's so cold, why didn't you put on clothes and dry off? If you catch a cold, who will take care of me?"
Alexander rested one hand behind his head and lay back without getting close to Victoria.
Victoria looked at him lying down again and felt helpless.
Alexander looked up at her. "Didn't you say your injury is all healed?" he asked, then added, "If I catch a cold, then you'll have to take care of me."
Victoria was speechless. "I don't want to," she said, "I'm weak, and if you catch a cold, you'll definitely pass it to me. I'd rather leave you to the nurse." Despite her words, she pulled the blanket over Alexander and then laid herself over him.
Alexander's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't move, letting her lie on him.
Victoria tightly gripped the edges of the blanket with both hands, her chin resting on Alexander's chest, slightly tilting her head to look at him.
Suddenly, she said, "Tell me, are you trying to seduce me?"
Upon hearing this, Alexander let out a low, deep laugh, raised an eyebrow with a hint of playful seriousness, and asked, "Did my charm work?"
"Take a guess," Victoria said softly.
Alexander's eyes sparkled with a smile. In a voice full of temptation, he said, "Come closer, and I'll tell you the answer."
Victoria didn't think twice and moved closer until their eyes were level. Alexander turned his head slightly, his cheek brushing against hers, his lips close to her ear as he whispered.
The warm breath from his nose ignited her sensitive nerves, making her shiver and pull back slightly. But his other hand was already firmly on her shoulder.
"I remember," Alexander said slowly, "someone once told me she liked not only my personality, but also my looks and my body. Any idea who that might be?"
"When did I ever..." Victoria began to object, but Alexander quickly cut her off. "And she has a particularly bad habit."
Victoria frowned slightly, sensing that whatever he was about to say wouldn't be good.
"She likes to sleep while touching my abs." After saying this, Alexander let out a low laugh by her ear.
She wanted to say, "I don't," but what came out was a soft, coquettish moan. "It hurts."
He was using her own tactics against her!
Just then, Dylan pushed the door open, having heard the sound. He thought, 'No way, did I come at the wrong moment? But the door wasn't locked, and the boss did ask me to bring him clothes in the middle of the day.'
Although Alexander had been staying with Victoria, he had his clothes sent over daily.
To avoid seeing something he shouldn't and for his own safety, Dylan quietly took a step back.
Dylan cleared his throat and called out, "Mr. Howard, I brought the clothes you asked for."
To his surprise, Alexander said, "Bring them in."
Dylan was puzzled, thinking, 'Can I really go in?'
With doubt and apprehension, Dylan walked in with the clothes, not daring to look around, especially not in the direction of the bed.
"Put them down and get out." Then Alexander's indifferent voice sounded in his ear.
Dylan replied, "Yes." He then placed the bag on the table in front of the sofa and quickly turned to leave.
After Dylan left, he specifically instructed the bodyguards at the door not to let anyone in.
The bodyguards, though puzzled, didn't ask much.
Dylan thought it over and decided it was best to guard the door himself.
In the ward, Alexander looked at Victoria, who was glaring at him, and smiled, "What's wrong? Did I not tell the truth?"
Victoria felt uncomfortable all over, thinking that Dylan had heard her voice just now.
"Did you do it on purpose?" she puffed up her cheeks in anger, looking like an adorable little pufferfish. "You bit me on purpose to embarrass me in front of your subordinates."
Alexander reached out and pinched her cheek. "Dylan wouldn't dare make fun of you."
Victoria made a soft sound and quickly got off Alexander.
Victoria's injury had improved significantly, and she could move freely. However, Alexander, being overprotective, insisted on carrying her everywhere, making others think she was still unwell.
She ordered, "Get up and put on your clothes."
Alexander moved slightly, glanced at her, and said in a lazy tone, "Mrs. Howard, could you please get them for me? I'm not in a good position to get up."
When Victoria wondered what was going on, Alexander gave her a meaningful look, directing her gaze down his body.
The next second, Victoria quickly got out of bed to get Alexander's clothes.
At the same time, Alexander also got out of bed, but he headed to the bathroom.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going to put on your clothes?" she called out, looking at Alexander's enticing, muscular back.
"Leave them there; I'll put them on when I come out," Alexander replied, accompanied by the sound of the door closing.
Victoria stood there in a daze for a moment, then laughed.
She didn't expect Alexander to have such an 'embarrassing' side; it was truly rare.
Finally, she carried Alexander's clothes to the bathroom door, his scent lingering around her nose, and listened to the sound of running water inside.
Victoria reached out and knocked on the door.
