Chapter 145 Do You Think I’ll Let You Go?

The servant nodded with a vexed expression.

“Miss Hunter, the guestroom is musty and the air is not ventilated. Mr. Scott has arranged for you to sleep in Mr. Alexander’s room, and he will be sleeping in the guestroom. Please rest well. You can call me if anything happens.”

As soon as the words were said, the servant ran away at once.

Courtney was clueless. There was no way she could run after the servant now because the mansion was huge. If she wasn’t paying attention, she might have lost her way in the courtyard. It was already dark outside, so she would not be able to find her way back. Now that she was already here, it would be better for her to stay.

Similar to the rustic mansion, Alexander’s room was very old-fashioned too. The furniture was all made of Chinese rosewood, and the room faced south. It was separated into two rooms at the entrance. The study seemed to be located on the east side.

From the half-open door, Courtney could see a desk that was facing the door. A writing brush hung over the desk, and there was rice paper spread across the desk.

He still practices calligraphy? Courtney was surprised by the discovery. Pushing the door open, she headed into the study.

The paperweight pressed the properly-cut rice paper firmly on the desk. After taking a closer look at the contents on the paper, Courtney couldn’t help but giggle as she propped herself against the corner of the desk.

The two cursive words ‘Extremely Boring’ were written on the paper.

The study exuded a serious vibe, and the man that owned this room was meticulous. Who would have thought that a man like him would write something like that on paper?

As a result, Courtney got interested in what she saw. Staring at the paper balls inside the trash can beside the desk, she squatted down and took them out.

One was written with ‘This is so annoying’; one was written with ‘The weather is bad’; and another one was written with ‘I have to get up early tomorrow’.

After studying the series of nonsensical calligraphy ‘masterpieces’, Courtney was so overjoyed that she failed to notice Alexander’s arrival.

“What are you laughing at?” asked Alexander as he came in.

“You wrote these?” Courtney’s face was flushed from holding back her laughter.

Looking at the ‘masterpieces’, his face turned ashen. With a sullen face, he said, “Is it your habit to go through the trash can?”

“I don’t have a habit of going through the trash can. But, now that I’ve seen your masterpieces, I might want to consider picking up this habit in the future.”

“Boring.”

“No, it’s extremely boring,” teased Courtney.

Seeing Alexander’s embarrassed expression, she was even more entertained. Failing to pay attention to herself, she lost her balance and fell onto the ground. For a long moment, she couldn’t get herself to stand up.

Alexander was in the midst of his own embarrassment, but when he saw her sitting on the ground, he was rendered speechless.

Walking forward, he stretched his hand out to her. “Enough. Get up when you’re done laughing at me. The floor is cold.”

Courtney rested her palm on his hand and blinked. Boldly, she teased, “Do you have to get up early tomorrow?”

This time, her ridicule sent fury surging through Alexander’s veins. He tightened his grip around her wrist and pulled her up suddenly.

Without any precaution, Courtney was being lifted from the ground by his force. Due to inertia, the moment she got up, she plunged into his chest. Her smile was still hanging on the corners of her mouth. Suddenly, his huge hand pressed onto her waist from behind, causing her to cling to his chest. Looking up, Courtney stared at Alexander blankly.

“Are you still laughing?” warned Alexander as he looked down at her. His voice was deep, and he sounded dangerous.

Returning back to her senses, Courtney started to struggle. “Let go of me.”

“Weren’t you laughing at me? You can do that however you want now.” Alexander didn’t intend to let her go. Instead, his grip on her waist tightened, refusing to let her break free from his embrace.

Courtney was anxious. “Grandpa said you’re staying in the guestroom. What are you doing here? I’m going to tell him you bullied me.”

“Oh?” He dragged out the end of his question. “I was talking business with Grandpa for half an hour, but he didn’t mention anything about me staying in the guestroom.”

Upon hearing that, Courtney was puzzled and her eyes widened.

“What do you mean? Are you implying that I’m the one who came into your room on purpose? Are you even in your right mind?”

Looking at Courtney’s silly, yet serious expression, Alexander did not know whether he should laugh or cry. His intention to tease her subsided.

“Don’t you think Grandpa made this arrangement on purpose?”

Courtney was startled at his question, and her face blushed in an instant. “N-No... way.”

“Why isn’t that possible?” Lowering his head, he leaned closer to her face. “This isn’t the first time Grandpa has acted so recklessly. To make sure that I have more children, he would do anything.”

Courtney’s head went down even further. Although both of them had always slept together, this was the Duncans’ ancestral home. The atmosphere here made her feel like she should be more reserved.

But all in all, it was hard for her to restrain herself when Alexander was leaning so close to her!

“Let... let me go.” Her lips pursed; her words came out stuttered. “I’ll go sleep in the guestroom.”

“Now that you’re in my room, do you think I’ll let you go?”

His deliberate words came from the crown of her head.

“What are you doing?”

When Courtney looked up, the grip on her waist tightened before she could recover from her embarrassment. Her world went upside down as Alexander picked her up bridal-style and headed toward his bedroom located on the west side.

She felt slightly painful being thrown onto the smooth brocade quilt. Alexander stood by the side of the bed. He leaned down and hovered above her. Grabbing her hands over her head, he stared straight at her face.

“Don’t look at me.” Courtney blushed under his stare, and she turned her face away anxiously.

Starting from her earlobe, Alexander kissed her all the way down to her neck. When his lips came to her chest, she couldn’t hold her moan back. Her legs that were hanging on the side of the bed retracted in response.

“I’m going on a business trip next week, so I can’t be with you for a while. Is it okay if I satisfy your needs two days in advance?”

As he was saying that, he separated her legs with his knees and caressed her inner thighs through his suit pants.

She almost screamed from the friction. Gritting her teeth, she managed to utter, “Can you please shut up?”

After Courtney started a relationship with Alexander, she had truly understood what a beast in human clothing was. Alexander was two different kinds of people in bed and out of bed.

Usually, he looked like an unapproachable and collected man. However, the moment he was in bed, he was simply a beast that was ready to devour her.

Alexander undid his tie with one hand. His slender fingers removed the buttons on his shirt, revealing his tanned torso. His breathing was heavy, and his dark pupils showed a teasing gaze.

“I couldn’t make it to stay with you yesterday, and you’re already so impatient?”

“Alexander Duncan...” Clenching her fists, Courtney wanted to kick him out of the bed.

Yet, as soon as she spoke, the friction from her lower body hit her sensitive nerves, and she moaned, “Ahh...”

Her sanity shattered just like that, yet Alexander was still hovering above her. As if he was watching a show, he stared at her as he slowly stroked her body.

“What did you call me just now?”

She clenched her jaws. “Alexander Duncan... Ahh...”

He was teasing her but refused to satisfy her desire. Pleasure wandered around the edge, and Courtney was about to lose her mind from the torture. Surrendering, she changed her choice of words. “Alexander...”

“Do you want it?” He leaned down and bit her earlobe. His breath filled her ears.

She panted heavily and nodded hard. “I want...”

“What do you want?”

“You.”

“Say my name.”

“Alex...” Her fingers gripped the sheets beside her tightly; her pink lips mumbled in ecstasy, “Alex, I want you...”

Courtney’s invitation overpowered Alexander’s self-restraint. While his eyes were filled with lust, he lifted her waist and pushed himself inside her. His overwhelming desire swept across the entire bedroom.
