Chapter 1007 Seducing Victoria
"You can't get away from me, Vicky."
He whispered in her ear, his dark eyes locked on her flustered face.
He didn't kiss her, just slowly wrapped his other arm around her waist, holding her tight.
It was just a simple hug.
He wanted her to feel like they were just a regular married couple.
Victoria felt anxious, but the calmness of his embrace made her hesitant to breathe properly.
It wasn't until nearly two minutes had passed, and he was still holding her, that she cautiously exhaled and finally felt at ease.
Alexander seemed to sense her emotions, quietly watching her as she stayed still in his arms.
He savored the moment of peace.
Since finding her again, moments like this were rare.
Just quietly feeling each other's presence.
"Go take a bath."
She had just started to relax when she heard his low voice in her ear.
Her ears turned red instantly, and she pushed him away, resisting.
Alexander let her press against the door to keep her distance from him. He restrained himself and said, "I'll take you in. You can soak for a while; it's good for your back."
Hearing this, her eyes lost some of their earlier panic, and she nodded at him.
She hoped he would keep his word, and he did.
After taking her to the bathroom, he asked, "Need help undressing?"
Victoria quickly shook her head, and Alexander did leave after making sure she was okay.
Victoria only truly relaxed when she heard the door close.
Alexander was still inside, not because he was lusting after her, but because he was worried she might drown.
Watching her undress made his breathing unsteady, but he suppressed it, afraid she would notice.
He held his breath as she stepped into the bathtub, worried she might get hurt.
Fortunately, she didn't. She was very careful.
They say that people who are blind develop other heightened senses. He thought it was true.
She sat in the bathtub, splashing water onto her shoulders, her face flushed.
She knew he was there.
But she knew she couldn't avoid it.
She was blind; she couldn't see.
She was here, relying on him for everything.
She thought they might end up being intimate.
She had to give something in return for the peace of these days.
She never thought she could live like this again.
Victoria's guard gradually lowered.
After soaking, she carefully rinsed herself off, and Alexander couldn't take his eyes off her.
He felt like he was going crazy, just standing there.
When she finished, she felt her way to the door, then to the sink, and started to walk out.
Alexander took a sharp breath. If he opened the door now, there was no escaping.
Her hand touched his clothes.
Alexander looked down at her, curious to see how she would react when she realized he was there.
Her face was very red, but she didn't panic.
Alexander thought she seemed a bit different, but he continued to watch her closely.
He didn't want to miss any of her subtle expressions.
But her reactions were slow.
Her lips moved slightly, and she finally showed some shyness after realizing he was there.
Alexander's husky voice asked, "Do you want to touch somewhere else?"
Victoria turned her face away in embarrassment.
She didn't realize how her face could be seen in the mirror.
Alexander held his breath but couldn't help asking, "If there were a few people in front of you now, could you recognize me?"
Victoria was taken aback.
"Tori." He called her softly.
Victoria slowly turned her face slightly towards him, but didn't dare to face him directly.
Alexander took her hand and gently asked, "Does your back feel better?"
She nodded, a bit stiffly but obediently.
After swallowing hard, Alexander picked her up again. "I'll carry you back to bed."
At that moment, she was only wrapped in a towel.
As he lifted her, the towel started to come loose. She felt it and clumsily tried to hold it in place.
Alexander didn't dare look down, afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.
Being a gentleman was hard, something he hadn't realized until he wanted to be intimate with her.
He never thought that even after having a child together, it would feel like a first love.
How could it not be sweet?
Just seeing her shy in front of him made him want to give her his heart.
It was good.
Starting over like this.
Their beginning had been rough.
Maybe this was a chance given by fate.
When she remembered this later, she might think it was wonderful, right?
He couldn't let her have any more regrets or pain.
He placed her on the bed, watching her protectively cover her chest, and softly said, "I'll get you some pajamas."
Victoria's lips moved, but she didn't make a sound.
She seemed to be waiting.
He kissed her lightly on the forehead, making her heart race, but she lay there motionless.
After he left, she pressed her hand to her chest, waiting for his return.
"How about wearing a nightgown tonight? A long one."
He asked her, not forgetting to remind her.
Victoria listened and didn't find it inappropriate.
She reached out to feel the clothes, wanting to dress herself.
But she didn't grab them because his strength told her she didn't need to.
She pulled her hands back to her chest, her face growing hotter, even her ears starting to burn.
Seeing her accept it, Alexander put the nightgown over her head and helped her put her arms through the sleeves.
She felt the thin fabric and his hands pulling the gown down to her knees.
But she wasn't wearing anything underneath.
Alexander threw the towel to the floor, feeling an urgent need to do something else.
Seeing her face turn even redder at the sound of the towel hitting the floor, he hesitated.
But men naturally like to push boundaries, testing and testing, to get what they want, a little more, and a little more.
"Baby, I haven't showered yet. Do you mind?"
He asked.
Victoria turned her face away in embarrassment, but his lips soon landed on her cheek.
He kissed her lightly, but it was very teasing.
Victoria felt a tingling sensation in her heart, her expression stiff and unnatural.
Seeing her turn her face away but not rejecting him, Alexander boldly kissed her lips again, then got up and left.
Victoria listened to his footsteps and the deliberate slamming of the door, gripping the blanket tightly but unable to make a sound.
Was he angry?
She was a little worried.
She was afraid of him being angry.
She even suddenly had very good hearing, hearing the sound of water running loudly inside.
Alexander quickly cleaned up and found a bottle of her favorite perfume on the sink, spraying a little on his neck.
Alexander found it amusing. What was he doing?
Trying to seduce Victoria?
