Chapter 109: Don’t stop me tonight
Layla finished knotting Lucius’s tie, giving it a final, gentle tug. Lucius’s eyes lingered on her, his gaze warm and appreciative, as he watched her turn toward the kitchen.
But before she could take a step, he grasped her wrist, pulling her back against him. "We’re in the– Mmmh..." she gasped softly, her words melting into a low moan as his lips pressed insistently against her neck, his hand resting firmly on her waist, anchoring her close.
Just outside the living room, a couple of maids paused, catching a glimpse of their intimate moment before quickly turning away, giggling quietly to each other.
Lucius turned her to face him, his arms circling around her, drawing her even closer until their breaths mingled. He tilted her chin up, his lips capturing hers in a fervent kiss, as though he couldn’t bear to let her go.
Layla clutched his shoulders, her fingers digging in for support as she kissed him back, her breath hitching as his kiss grew deeper and more urgent.
Just then, Roger burst into the living room, his voice loud and hurried. "Boss, I received big news!" he announced—then froze mid-step, his eyes widening as he took in the scene. "Oh, I... I’m sorry! Please, continue," he stammered, quickly turning and dashing out of sight.
Flustered, Layla tried to push Lucius back, but he only held her closer. His lips found hers again, more insistent this time, his hand pressing against her lower back, drawing her fully into him.
Her soft moans were swallowed by his mouth as his tongue traced along hers, tangling together in a passionate rhythm. She felt the intensity of his need, the heat radiating between them, and with every second, stopping him seemed less and less possible.
When they finally broke apart, both were breathless, their chests rising and falling in unison. Lucius’s thumb gently traced her lips, his gaze smoldering as he leaned down to trail kisses along her jawline and down her neck.
