Chapter 19 He couldn't help but reach out , catching a few strands of her floating hair . Darlene's eyes flashed with caution , as if she feared he might misunderstand something . Lucian only gave a faint smile , gently tucking her messy hair behind her ear , his fingers unintentionally brushing against her earlobe . " Your voice is really beautiful , Darlene . " He stared at her without blinking . Darlene felt the heat in his gaze , but she had nowhere to escape . " Were you really listening ? " she asked . Lucian nodded , " Of course . " He pointed to the key points in his notebook and repeated them . Every word he spoke , every syllable he bit off , the smile in his eyes grew darker and more mysterious . Splash ! Lucian suddenly stretched out his long legs and stepped out of the bath . Darlene looked up abruptly , and was met with a perfect male physique . Broad shoulders , a narrow waist , wheat - colored , well - defined muscles , powerful chest and abs , tall and straight , with proportions that were nothing short of perfect . She quickly turned her back , biting her lip hard . " What are you doing ? " It was terrifying . She had seen every inch of him , clear as day . She thought at least he would wear shorts , like he used to , when he called her over to bring things , still caring about his image . Lucian was unruly . " Why such a big reaction ? I'm not doing anything to you ." " Look at you , acting so guilty , as if you can't be seen . Or do you actually want me to do something to you ? " He found teasing her especially amusing .

Even though her status was low and she wasn't qualified to be his official girlfriend , he could keep her privately , just like his father , who had many beautiful lovers .

I watched this short drama last tight and didn't sleep a wink < Chapter 19 Menu His heated male body pressed tightly against her from behind , pulling her into his arms . His scorching breath sprayed over the back of her neck , tingling and itchy , filled with a strong scent of hormones . " Darlene , why aren't you saying anything ? " The cool night breeze brushed past , and a particularly hoarse voice sounded in her ear , as if biting her earlobe . The boy's thin lips were pressed against Darlene's fair earlobe , his tongue lightly touching her cool skin . Darlene shivered instinctively , clearly feeling a change in his body . She wanted to escape , but Lucian's strong arm wrapped tightly around her slender waist , making it impossible for her to move . " Let me go . " Darlene disliked this feeling ; it reminded her of scenes from her dreams and the original story . " You should beg me . " Lucian gave a wicked smile , his large hand sliding down , instinctively lifting the girl's skirt to explore , only to find she was wearing pants . His eyes darkened . His gaze was filled with an excessive possessiveness - this was the privilege of someone high above , the common desire to possess and conquer beautiful girls .
