Chapter 235: Urge
"Oh, right," She responded, as understanding crossed her features. As she reached for the fabric of the bathrobe, a realization dawned upon her.
Suddenly, the gravity of the situation settled on her, and she glanced up at Matteo, finding his eyes already fixed upon her. His gaze was filled with intensity and recognition, he, too, understood the significance of the moment.
Their professional relationship would definitely be compromised.
"Um, Matteo –" she began, her voice faltering, but he silenced her with the sudden gesture of his hands deftly untying the bathrobe with measured speed.
"Wait, wait,"
"Stay still," His voice pierced the air, his tone steelier than she had ever heard before. She froze, her body instinctively obeying his command without hesitation. The bathrobe unraveled, revealing her delicate figure clad in sky blue lacy undergarments.
In that moment, time seemed to halt as his gaze swept over her with an intensity that left her breathless.
He beheld her curves and contours, causing his breath to hitch in his throat.
Despite the carefully taped wound adorning her side, his eyes found no faults, only a divine beauty that left him spellbound. Her thighs parted ever so slightly, unveiling a glimpse of vulnerability to her desire.
