Chapter 205: Incriminating photographs
Theodore pulled back quickly, smiling mischievously. "I haven’t shown you around yet, and you’re already trying to seduce me," he purred teasingly. "Do you want to start here in the kitchen, or shall we explore the bedroom first?"
"You can only think about sex." Bella playfully pushed him away as she turned to walk away.
But Theodore wasn’t easily deterred. He quickly wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her back gently. "It’s not my fault," he murmured against her shoulder, his lips brushing lightly against her skin. "You’re so alluring, I can’t help myself."
Bella looked over her shoulder, a teasing smile on her lips. "Aren’t you going to show me the bedroom?"
Theodore’s eyes sparkled with a blend of playfulness and desire. "Alright, the bedroom it is. I think we’ll find it’s the perfect place for what I have in mind."
He took her hand, his touch warm and reassuring, and led her down a corridor to the bedroom. As they entered, Bella’s breath caught in her throat.
The room was a masterpiece of tranquility and luxury. Large windows framed a view of the garden, filling the room with soft, natural light. A plush king-sized bed sat at the center, inviting and elegant, and an adjoining en-suite bathroom peeked through an open doorway. A walk-in closet stood to one side, its spacious interior hinting at the meticulous attention to detail.
Bella spun around, her eyes wide with awe and emotion. "It’s so... spacious and beautiful," she breathed, her voice barely a whisper. "I don’t even know what to say."
"Don’t say anything," he whispered, closing the distance between them. "You’ve been through so much lately... and I wanted to give you a place where you could truly relax, feel safe, and just be you." He caressed her face. "I want you to smile always."
He leaned down, his lips meeting hers in a sensual, lingering kiss. Soon, the heat between them rose and they lost themselves in each other’s embrace.
"I want you, Bella. Right here, right now." Theodore’s voice was a low, husky whisper against Bella’s lips, sending a thrill through her entire body.
Bella’s breath quickened, her heart racing as she nodded, already lost to the desire that coursed through her. She could feel the pull of his need, and it awakened her own, leaving her trembling with anticipation.
