Clayton’s face changed. He rolled down the bed, closed the bedroom door, and locked it behind him. Nicole only told him to close the door, not to get lost. That meant she was reluctant to part with him. Clayton naturally would not be so understanding as to take care of those two people upstairs. As soon as he turned around, Nicole ran to the bathroom using the clothes he had torn to cover her chest.
She was too quick for him to react. Clayton touched his chin and smiled. It was fine. They could take it slow. As long as she did not hate it. Nicole calmed down and began to fill the bathtub. She wanted to soak for a while longer to freshen up.
She could wait for the man outside to fall asleep after being unable to hold back too. Hurrying out would just be sending herself in to danger’s jaws. Nicole very cleverly locked the door and began to soak in the bath. She made sure not to miss the essential oils and candles. The more tedious, the better.
After about twenty minutes of soaking, Nicole was getting sleepy. When she could not stand it any longer, she finally climbed out of the water. There was no movement outside, and Clayton never rushed her. Did he really fall asleep? Only when she came out did she realize that her clothes were no longer wearable. She did not bring in a change of pajamas. There was only a bath towel wrapped around her delicate body.
She was too careless! Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered something and carefully opened the door a crack. She wanted to see if he was still there. However, before she could poke her head out, the door was yanked open from the inside, as if the person had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Before she could react, she was pushed against the bathroom wall.
“You’re finally willing to come out?” His voice was husky with a hint of playfulness. Nicole was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out. She tried hard to act as if nothing was wrong, but the nervousness in her expression was clear for him to see. She was not wearing pajamas and was only wrapped in a bath towel.
She was simply a natural beauty. “Why did you come in?” “Why do you think so?” The tip of his nose slowly approached, wanting to continue doing what he left unfinished earlier. Nicole pursed her lips. “Then you should go shower.
I’m done, so I’ll go outside…” She tried to get out from under his arms, but his hand clasped around her waist and easily pulled her back. She was surrounded by his scent. Clayton smiled. His eyes seemed like they could speak, amorous and compelling. “There’s no rush. We can shower together…” Nicole really could not even lift her arms. If not for the sound of walking coming from outside, Nicole would not have opened her eyes. Nicole heard Yvette and Julie talking about something outside, but she could not hear what exactly. She suddenly remembered that she was with Clayton last night.
‘If I was caught… ‘ Nicole instantly got up. The bed was empty beside her. Clayton was not there. Nicole sighed in relief. However, she also felt a little lost at not seeing him early in the morning. The next second, she suddenly heard Clayton’s voice ringing out in the living room. “I don’t know what you girls like to eat, so I just bought some random stuff…” “You’re too polite, Mr. Sloan. Thank you for your hospitality.” That was Julie’s voice.
Yvette said, “Mr. Sloan, you’re really so thoughtful. If it were Nicole, we’d have to go back hungry.” Nicole found a pair of pajamas to put on and went out with her messy hair. “ I woke up as soon as I heard you guys talking bad about me. Isn’t that terrifying?” Yvette sized her up meaningfully. “Nicole, how is your skin glowing after just a night’s sleep?” Nicole froze, and her mind instantly sobered up. The air was stagnant for a moment. Then, Julie looked at Nicole and then at Clayton. Realization struck her.
