Chapter 247: No Matter What
I had no clue how I ended up tossed onto that fancy hotel bed by Brad.
No idea when he even booked this room.
Before I could wrap my head around it, Brad was all over me again.
His kisses? Wild and crazy.
I couldn't handle it.
"What's going on? I still wanna hit up the restaurant row," I panted.
"But I only wanna eat you," he shot back, also out of breath.
Brad was like a furnace, his voice all seductive, making my heart race.
Guess I wasn't getting out of this tonight, so I stopped fighting it and let myself get lost in his passion.
"Can I make love to you?" he asked.
"I don't know," I mumbled, turning my face away.
In the heat of the moment, "I don't know" was the most loaded phrase. You could twist it any way you wanted, and it always led to what you wanted.
"Be good, I'm gonna take a shower. Wait for me, don't run," he said, flashing a seductive smile as he headed to the bathroom.
"Okay."
Why would I run? Sooner or later, I had to face it. His moves just now were mesmerizing, so why fight it? Even though this was moving way too fast, totally beyond what I expected, and I wasn't ready for this.
I was worried.
I wanted to run.
But I couldn't.
Because he'd catch me, and who knows what would happen then.
As soon as Brad hit the bathroom, I checked the time on my phone. Eleven minutes later, he came out wrapped in a towel.
That was a quick shower.
He had a milky white towel around his waist, with water droplets clinging to his chiseled chest and abs. Those tantalizing drops slid down his sun-kissed skin, leaving a seductive trail.
Even though I'd already admired Brad's perfect body back in Silverbrook City, I was still stunned.
This scene was way hotter than any male model in a magazine.
Seeing me stare, Brad smiled, his eyes sparkling, looking super handsome and seductive.
"Like what you see?" he asked in a husky voice.
This was the third time he'd asked me that. Flustered and shy, my face burning, I rushed past him into the bathroom without daring to look back, his low laughter echoing behind me.
I took my sweet time in the shower, over half an hour, the water splashing around. My mind kept replaying how the couples in the novels I'd read spent their first night together.
But right now, I couldn't think of anything familiar. And to my frustration, I forgot my phone, so I couldn't even look it up. I hid in there until I almost scrubbed a layer off my skin. Brad knocked on the door several times, threatening to come in if I didn't come out, so I had no choice but to step out.
People say you can't guess a girl's thoughts because you wouldn't understand them.
Honestly, I didn't quite get my own thoughts either; it was all so contradictory.
I wasn't sure about my feelings before, so tried to date Brad as a boyfriend; otherwise, I wouldn't have set up all those tests for him.
But today, when he pinned me down on the bed and kissed me, I suddenly didn't want to test him anymore. I just wanted to be with him, for a lifetime.
I didn't know if it was Jenny's appearance that got to me, or if I just finally saw my own heart clearly today, or maybe it was just the vibe.
From trying him out as a boyfriend to being down to make love with him, that was a huge leap. Even with a clear head, I had no intention of saying no.
No, no, I just fell in love with Brad, a deep, certain love. Or maybe I had already fallen for him, but I was so used to seeing him as just Brad that I ignored it.
Tonight, I was gonna make love with him, and from then on, I'd be completely his. It was kinda sweet, kinda nerve-wracking, my throat dry as a desert.
The urge to run away was fading, replaced by a beautiful anticipation.
The main lights in the room were off, leaving only two bedside lamps on. The dimly lit room had this mysterious vibe.
When I came out, Brad was half-lying on the bed, his upper body bare, seriously looking at something on his phone. His muscles rippled, every part of him oozing seductive allure.
Hearing my voice, he looked up with a gentle smile on his handsome face, his eyes full of deep affection and fiery anticipation.
My heart started pounding, my feet rooted to the spot. Our eyes met, and a silent flame ignited between us.
Suddenly, Brad seemed like a fierce wolf, and I was the little rabbit willingly offering myself to him.
He put down his phone, sitting up a bit, and patted the spot next to him with a seductive look. "Baby, come here," he said.
As if under a spell, I moved unconsciously, standing by the bed. Then, following his lead, I climbed onto the bed and lay in his arms, resting my head on his neck, just a tilt away from kissing his lips.
Throwing myself into his arms!
Brad's eyes turned red, like a hungry wolf spotting its prey, and he immediately pounced on me.
The scent of the shower gel was fresh, like jasmine blooming at night.
The air instantly became sweet and sticky.
Brad called my name hoarsely, over and over.
His fiery breath brushed against my cheek, his hot kisses moving from my lips to my neck, to my collarbone.
Just as his hands were about to take the next step, the phone rang.
This time, it wasn't mine.
It was his.
Getting interrupted twice in one day? Even the most patient person would be furious.
Brad instantly became enraged, his muscles tensing like stone, glaring furiously at the ringing phone.
"Brad, the phone," I said, surprised at how soft my voice sounded.
"Ignore it," Brad said, panting, and grabbed a pillow to cover the phone, pretending not to hear the ringing.
Haha, was there anything cuter than this?
At the critical moment, I burst out laughing.
Brad pinched me hard a bit, making me yelp. Then, frustrated and disheveled, he found the phone, and his face turned even darker when he saw the screen.
I glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar out-of-town number, the location showing as Seaside City, and the name marked made my heart sink.
Jenny!
