Chapter 235 Respect You

Lucky Draw

A light night wind whistled across the lawn, where Emily and Alexander stood alone.

Amid Alexander’s inquisitive looks, Emily’s voice turned husky as she said, “I just think it’s been a waste of my years. I’m only feeling sorry for myself for taking so long to see that guy for who he is.”

It was already early winter. The cold bit through Emily’s evening dress, numbing her body gradually.

At her words, Alexander’s heart clenched.

Stepping closer, he draped his warm–hued coat–still carrying the warmth of his body–over her shoulders, then drew her into

his arms.

Hugging her so tightly that it seemed he wanted to blend her into his very essence, Alexander pressed his cheek against her neck and nearly begged, “Please stop being sad about him, okay?”

The moment the coat wrapped around her, Emily was swaddled in Alexander’s warmth.

His body, his coat, all were like a cozy haven.

Instead of pushing him away, she instinctively snuggled closer,

It was

a warmth she hadn’t felt since childhood, apart from her4 family’s love.

Feeling her move in, Alexander naturally tightened his arms around her.

Emily tilted her head up and whispered, “Alright.”

Her agreement sent a jolt through Alexander. His body gave a little tremble, and he gently eased her out of his embrace. Staring at her in almost childlike disbelief, he asked, “For real? You promise?”

Emily nodded, giving a soft “Yeah‘ in confirmation.

Her makeup that night was understated yet perfect, highlighting her stunning, sculpted features. Her long lashes fluttered, each blink a gentle tease on Alexander’s heartstrings.

The black evening dress clung to her body like a second skin, and against her complexion, it made her look like a vision in the moonlight.

As he looked at her standing there in the night, Alexander’s heart skipped a beat.

He knew she was still married, and he shouldn’t be crossing the line. But his body seemed to have a mind of its own.

Reaching out, he placed his hands on her waist and slowly leaned in, his lips almost touching hers. He had an urge to kiss her. Honestly, it was just a simple desire to press his lips against

hers.

Sensing what was coming, Emily didn’t back away. Instead, her eyes fluttered shut.

Ethan was already with Nancy. Why couldn’t she have a little fling with Alexander?

She was a grown woman, and she had her needs. If Ethan couldn’t satisfy them, why not give this a shot?

Even if Alexander was known for being a ladies‘ man, it could just be a bit of fun, right?

Just as his lips were about to meet hers, Alexander caught himself at the last second.

He planted a soft kiss on the corner of her mouth.

Deep down, he knew that if he kissed her full on the lips, his possessive side would get the better of him, and he couldn’t let that happen.

After the kiss, Alexander stood back up straight.

Emily opened her eyes, a question in them, and asked, “Why’d you stop?”

Alexander turned his head away, the redness at the tips of his ears a clear sign of his arousal. But he was fighting hard to keep his composure.

In a raspy voice, he said, “I can’t just do what I want. I gotta respect you.”

Puzzled by his words, Emily blurted out, “Why are you being so

nice to me?”

Alexander looked up at the sky briefly before meeting her gaze. With a serious tone, he said, “Promise to let me be your lover, and I’ll tell you why.”

Frowning, Emily scoffed, “Alexander, you haven’t had much to drink. Why are you talking nonsense?”

She didn’t take to heart what Alexander had said in his bedroom

last time.

After all, he was dead drunk then, and she assumed most of it was just drunken rambling.

Without warning, Alexander turned and bent down to take her hand, placing it on his abdomen. His eyes stayed fixed on her face as he said, “I’m not talking nonsense. Feel my body. I can give you a unique experience. I guarantee you won’t think about Ethan again after being with me.

His blatant flirting was hard to ignore.

Trying to pull her hand back, Emily found it firmly held in place. She felt the heat radiating from his body and the firm ridges of his abs under her palm.
