Jason began, “Three.”
Bella chuckled, “What happened to one and two?”
“Because I won’t give you a chance to regret.”
With that, his kiss landed.
At that moment, Julian, viewing the surveillance, saw Eric approaching Aurora. Though their bodies had yet to touch, it was enough to make him furious.
“Damn it, get your paws off her! Don’t touch Little Bunny,” Julian exclaimed in rage.
Eric’s hands were planted on either side of Aurora, trapping her with nowhere to go but to face him.
“The time has come, President, you can go out now,” Rocky reminded him, fearing his boss would die of rage.
Julian’s breathing grew heavy, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, a testament to his anger reaching its limits.
“Not yet!” Julian’s eyes nearly burst into flames, and Rocky truly admired his boss’s patience, unmatched by others.
He desperately wanted to go out there, especially since seeing Eric eyeing Aurora wrapped in a towel, which nearly drove him mad.
His possessiveness was intense; he couldn’t bear others seeing his woman, even just in a towel.
But he was also clear-headed. This time, he wanted Aurora to see Eric’s true face for herself, reminding her was another purpose.
Aurora leaned tightly against the stone wall as Eric moved closer and closer.
Only a towel separated the two, and the moment Eric touched her, his body felt electrified, a blissful sensation.
As soft as he had imagined, just pulling off the towel wrapped around her would make her his.
“Cousin, please step back, you’re being weird,” Aurora’s vision blurred.
“Weird? Rory, do you think I’m joking? I truly love you. If you are wary because of our supposed kinship, don’t worry, I’m not Paul’s son.
We have no blood relation; we’re not cousins. Rory, just agree to be with me, I will treat you better than Julian ever could.”
His hand reached for Aurora’s bare shoulder, causing her face to flush, and she slapped him weakly.
Her slap was soft and lacked strength, a fire seemed to burn in her lower abdomen, her body strangely weak.
She had thought the heat was due to the hot springs.
Little did she know that moving intensified the sensation, Eric, unfazed by her soft slap.
His face splashed with water, his eyes wickedly charming, Aurora’s feeble slap posed no threat, more like a flirtation.
He easily caught Aurora’s hand, “Rory, you’re still like when you were little.”
“What did you put in the orange juice?” Aurora felt itchiness all over, an itch that scratching couldn’t soothe.
“Because it’s the first time, I feared you wouldn’t like it, but I won’t do it again,” Eric moved closer.
“Get away! Don’t touch me!” Aurora desperately tried to push him away, but her body was weak and limp.
“Rory, I know you want to forget Julian, I’ll treat you well,” he said as he swept Aurora up in his arms.
Aurora struggled in his embrace, “Let me go, let me go!”
There was a room already prepared for guests to rest in privately, and Eric carried her into it.
Aurora was thrown onto the bed, and the towel draped over her chest slipped during the struggle.
The decor was Japanese style, matching the accommodations, with Aurora lying on a thin cotton futon styled in the same manner.
The blanket was made of fine mulberry silk, which starkly contrasted against her pale, smooth skin.
This only served to further excite Eric, recalling the sound of Aurora’s voice he had heard before.
Soon, her voice blossomed for him, tightening his throat, “Rory, you are so beautiful.”
He yanked the towel from around his waist, and Aurora, seeing the man’s body, exclaimed, “Get out, don’t touch me! Julian, help me!”
This reminded her of a night three years ago in America, when Genevieve’s thugs had stood over her just like this.
The memories made Aurora cry bitterly, “Julian, help me, Julian…”
Her cries for Julian infuriated the man-no man wanted to hear another’s name from his partner during such moments.
He knelt down, furious yet softened by her tears, coaxing gently, “Rory, I won’t hurt you, I just want to help you. Aren’t you uncomfortable?”
“Get away, I don’t need your help, I’m looking for Julian,” Aurora said as she tried to leave.
Eric pulled her back forcefully, “No one can save you today! Rory, I’m no worse than Julian.”
“Don’t touch me!” Aurora cried out, then fainted from the agitation.
At that moment, Eric was poised to take his chance, regardless of whether Aurora was awake or asleep.
His fingers trembled as they moved towards her last piece of cover, and soon Aurora would be his.
Just then, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck and lost consciousness.
Julian stood behind him, his face grim, holding a large stick. Rocky watched, alarmed, thinking if his boss didn’t measure his strength, he might kill him on the spot.
“Well, if the boss kills him, he’ll just bury him. People like him who drug women are scum; one less is a service to the people,” Rocky thought secretly.
“Take him there, let those men have a good time with him. Since he was born with such a good skin, he should be thoroughly enjoyed,” Julian said distinctly.
Rocky marveled internally at his boss’s ruthlessness.
The big boss of Luminary was in for it now, but it was his own fault for coveting the boss’s wife, he deserved it!
“Yes, boss, what about Miss Montgomery?” Rocky asked.
“I’ll handle it,” Julian said coldly, dispersing the crowd.
