Hot, so hot!

Belle felt extremely hot, as if there were innumerable worms wriggling inside her body, causing an unbearable itching sensation.

She reached out in the dark, searching with her hand until she found a muscular arm.

Following the strong muscles upwards, Belle touched a resilient and powerful chest.

Just like gaining redemption, she pressed her whole chest against it, rubbing back and forth.

Ethan Northfield looked at the woman rubbing against his chest ceaselessly, the cold expression on his face unchanging. He had an appointment to meet with Mr. Chen in this room, but he didn't expect to be embraced by a naked woman as soon as he entered.

Her body was very soft and warm. The unique fragrance of a woman filled the air around Ethan Northfield. Coupled with her soft chest pressing tight against him, even the usually impassive Ethan Northfield could feel a warm current surging in his abdomen.

"What's going on?" Ethan Northfield felt somewhat annoyed, yanking impolitely at his tie and unbuttoning his shirt. The woman beneath instantly pulled his shirt off, making both of them bare to each other.

Affected by the passionate woman, Ethan Northfield felt his body temperature constantly rising, his cheeks flushed, heat causing him discomfort, and even a hint of dizziness.

Belle slowly climbed up from below, her delicate body clinging to Ethan Northfield's chest, gradually moving upwards.

After locating Ethan Northfield's lips, Belle kissed him without hesitation.

A seductive aroma filled Ethan Northfield's mouth, making him lose control of himself. His arms instinctively embraced the naked woman in front of him. Although this woman was a stranger, she gave him a feeling he had never experienced before.

Ethan Northfield's consciousness wasn't under his control at this moment. From passive, he turned proactive, flipping over to pin the naked woman on the bed.

"I, I want..." Belle spoke, her eyes blurry, her speech unclear.

"Are you sure?" In the dim light, Ethan Northfield saw a pair of beautiful, yet bewildered eyes.

"Mmm..."

Before Belle could finish her sentence, Ethan Northfield thrust his waist forward, leaving her ears filled with nothing but her soft moans...

As if they were starved for the other's touch, like a long drought yearning for rain, the woman fervently yearned while the man continually satisfied. Until daybreak, they finally succumbed to exhaustion and drifted into sleep.

"Ding-a-ling..." Belle was awakened by the urgent sound of her cellphone. She opened her bleary eyes, only to be stunned by the sight.

There she was, in a hotel room, sharing a bed with a completely naked man!

Refined eyebrows, sharp cheekbones, an upright nose, and dense long eyelashes – Belle found herself face to face with an incredibly handsome man.

Panicked, she didn’t dare to make a sound. She quickly muted her still ringing cellphone noticing the caller ID showed it was her boyfriend, Davies.

"What's going on? What happened? How did I end up here? Who is this man? Did I...did I have intercourse with him?"

Belle barely managed to breathe. She quickly looked down at herself, completely bare with kiss marks and bruises all over her body. Her aching muscles and soreness confirmed the passionate scene that had taken place last night.

"But I don’t know this man!" Belle was on the verge of tears. She had a boyfriend. Though she was not engaged yet, she had intended to give her virginity to Davies and not some stranger.

With tears threatening to spill, Belle quickly got dressed and left the room like she was fleeing.

The moment the room door closed, the man on the bed stirred, awakened by the sound.

Ethan Northfield was not one to rise late, but he was substantially exhausted from the previous night. Opening his eyes to the rumpled state of the bed beside him, memories of the previous night began to surface.

Her clear eyes, soft lips, fevered body, and delicate skin...such thoughts stirred up a reaction in him that left him surprised.

Because Ethan Northfield was never one to be naturally aroused in the morning, despite his private doctors declaring his health in perfect state.

He went to the restroom to relieve himself and when he returned to the room, Ethan Northfield instantly noticed an obtrusive cherry-red spot on the bedsheet. Could it be left by that woman?

After leaving the hotel, Belle quickly returned to the Windsor manor in the east district of Tan City, her home, or more precisely, her stepmother and two younger sister's home.

As soon as she walked in, she saw her stepmother, standing at the door, greeting her with a faux-friendly grin.

"Mom, I'm home." Belle was exhausted, nearly drained, she merely greeted and wanted to head upstairs to rest.

"Oh Belle, how was last night? Did everything go smoothly?" Sarah, however, had no intention of letting Belle go, she asked anxiously.

"Last night? What happened last night?" Belle was slightly confused, but she had a vague feeling of unease.

"Mr. Chen, weren't you with him last night? How was he? Was he good to you? Did he mention anything about collaborating with our company today?" Sarah asked eagerly, utterly disregarding Belle’s increasingly upset face.

"Mom, are you implying that you drugged me last night?" Belle's voice trembled. Even though Sarah was her stepmother, she had been a part of this family since she was one. What difference did she have with her two sisters?

"Daughter, don't twist words around. I was just helping you out. You’re so shy, you wouldn't have been able to cater to Mr. Chen," Sarah appeared smug.

"Mom, I am your daughter too, you drugged your own daughter, so I could service a business accomplice?" Belle’s voice cracked, her eyes welled up, the tears swirling in her eyes. Right now, she was quite angry, but more than that, she felt heartbroken and humiliated.

"Sweet foolish girl, I wouldn't have thrown you out to the wolves. This Mr. Chen is a rich second-generation who comes from a family worth billions. If he were to fancy you or you accidentally end up pregnant, you won't have to worry one bit for the rest of your life!" said Sarah, trying to hug Belle who eluded her.

"Alas, you ungrateful girl. If I didn't help you out, wouldn't you still be marrying that pauper, Davies?”

At the mention of Davies’s name, Belle couldn’t hold back her tears, "Mom, you know Davies and I are engaged. How can I still be with him after what you've done?"

"If Mr. Chen takes a liking to you, why would you still stick with that pauper? Even if Mr. Chen doesn’t choose you, with your background and qualifications, you’re more than enough for Davies. With the little betrothal gift he gave, he’s more suited to a worn-out second-hand woman. I believe he’s gained more than he lost!”

Listening to Sarah’s increasingly hurtful words, Belle quivered with rage and ran upstairs crying. She locked herself in her room.
