But before she could get the words out, Leonel abruptly clicked open her seatbelt and pulled her onto his Lap.
They were both quite tall, but luckily, the car had enough room to accommodate them.
âHave you lost it, Leonel? What if the servants catch us? Ever thought about my reputation?â
Leonel trailed his hand down her side, giving her a playful pinch.
His gaze was intense, and his voice was rough with a hint of a growl.
âNo oneâs around to see.
The house is ours for the day.
â
He pressed his lips to hers, a fiery ki*s that spoke volumes.
As he did, he daringly lifted Alexisâ skirt, desire clear in his eyes.
Alexis, though, wasnât feeling it.
To her, this was far from an act of love; it felt like an ordeal, leaving her cold and detached through the encounter.
Leonel was relentless, showering her with ki*ses.
When the moment to exit the car arrived, he ushered Alexis out.
The evening had settled in, and the air was rich with the aroma of dinner being prepared from the neighboring houses.
Ignoring the temptations of the dinner table, Leonel scooped Alexis into his arms and headed straight upstairs.
Alexis, resigned to her fate, questioned him icily, âWhatâs your plan, Leonel? Forcing it onto me isnât right, is it?â
Leonel, unfazed, continued his ascent.
His features gleamed under the opulent chandelier above.
Meeting her gaze, he smirked, a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
âWhatâs so wrong about it? Iâm merely being a husband to my wife.
â
He paused, then added, âMrs.
Douglas, itâs natural for married couples, donât you think? It satisfies both our desires.
Or do you not see it that way?â
Alexis burned with rage at his words.
She saw through his act; he was marking his territory, reminding her of the bond they shared, underscoring that he was indeed her husband.
Satisfying the desires of both? What bullshit!
âI donât care about satisfying each otherâs needs!â Alexis spat out, her tone dripping with disdain.
Leonel leaned in, planting a soft ki*s on her lips before murmuring, âYouâll come around, babe.
Your cravings will catch up soon enough.
â
With a swift kick, he flung open the door to the main bedroom, the anticipation thickening the air.
Thrown onto the expansive bed, Alexis felt a whirlwind of sensations.
