My husband is … he's successful , powerful . You don't need to worry about me anymore . " The words felt hollow even as they left her lips . Would they even care ? After sending Alia away , they didn't even try to contact her once during those three years ! The wine made her thoughts fuzzy , Alia eyelids heavy . Alia leaned back against the smooth stone edge , letting my fingers trail in the warm water . Just for a minute , Alia murmured , closing my eyes against the spinning sensation . " I'll just rest for a minute .. When i returned to the manor suite , i checked watch . It was already past midnight , and family matters had proven more troublesome than expected - there was a problem with the shipment at Dark Bay , with some of it being seized by the police , so i needed to handle it personally . " Alia ? " i called , moving through the darkened rooms . The bedroom was empty , the covers undisturbed , Alia phone lay on the nightstand , its screen lighting up with a notification from my university about tomorrow's online internship report meeting . A flicker of concern crossed my face . I moved quickly through the suite , checking each room . Finding nothing , my headed outside , a growing sense of unease propelling i toward the private hot spring area . In the moonlight , i spotted her immediately - her small form slumped beside the pool , head tilted at an awkward angle , the wine bottle tipped over beside her . As I watched in horror , her body began to slide toward the steaming water , " Alia ! " I sprinted forward , as I plunged into the hot water . In three powerful strokes , I reached her just as my face dipped below the surface . My hands gripped her waist , pulling her up against my chest as I waded back to the edge , What the hell were you thinking ? 1 - demanded . Alia's eyes fluttered open , glazed and unfocused . " Marco ? " she murmured , her voice thick with wine and sleep . Instead of answering my question , she smiled dreamily and nuzzled against my jacket . " You're so warm … I realized how drunk she was , and my anger immediately turned to concern . Her silk robe had partially split open , revealing the smooth skin Chapter 19 underneath . " Come on , piccola . Let's get you inside , " I said , lifting her into my arms . She curled against my instinctively , her face pressed into the crook of my neck . " You smell nice , " she mumbled , her lips brushing against my skin . " Like … expensive . " Alia slurred drunkenly , " Marco , why do you smell like alcohol , darling . Too much wine . " I carried Alia back to the bathroom . I carefully placed her on the marble bench . Turning around , I switched on the shower , and steam began to fill the entire room . " Arms up , " I instructed . Alia complied with a giggle , raising my arms like a child . " Are you going to bathe me , Mr. Vittorio ? " My jaw clenched as carefully removed her robe , " You need to sober up . The hot water will help . As the silk slid from her shoulders , Aliashivered despite the steam . I quickly wrapped an oversized towel around her . " You're soaking wet too , " Alia pointed me , reaching for my tie with clumsy fingers . " Let's shower together . " I captured my hands in her , stepping back slightly . " Alia , you're drunk . Alia pouted , leaning forward until her forehead rested against my chest . " Don't you want me ? " " Woman , you brought this on yourself ! " Under the bathroom lights , I could clearly see Alia kneeling before me , her hands working my penis together . Within moments , she let out a delicate gasp and took my glans into her mouth . ' Hiss , that feels so good , I couldn't help but let out a sigh of pleasure . Alia's lips were soft . Though this wasn't her first time giving me oral , the sensation of her mouth enveloping my shaft still felt incredibly exhilarating . Drunk as she was , Alia gradually became more skillful as she moved . She knew to wrap her lips around her teeth , ensuring that during the entire process , my penis wouldn't be grazed by them . A few minutes later , Alia's movements became more adept , and soon I felt a faint urge to ejaculate , Before long , Alia began attempting to deepthroat , though she wasn't very successful . As soon as my penis reached her throat , she felt the urge to gag and had to pull it out , coughing lightly a couple of times before taking it back into her mouth . I truly felt her sincerity . In the past , I enjoyed pushing my penis deep into her throat - it felt incredibly satisfying - but this was the first time she had taken the initiative to do it for me . Alia sucked for a long time , and my penis began to swell and grow larger . I clenched my teeth , drawing in sharp breaths , but it was no use . The hot , wet softness of her tongue sent shivers through my entire body in an instant . My lower abdomen tightened , as if every muscle in my body was activated at that moment . My eyes widened , my buttocks clenched , and the penis in Alla's mouth twitched uncontrollably , Alia tried to pull away , but I held the back of her head firmly . Immediately after , I lost control , and streams of milky white semen shot into her mouth .
