Rocky left with Eric expressionlessly, taking care to close the door behind them for Eric’s boss. Julian saw Aurora, a tear still sparkling at the corner of her eye, and his heart filled with pity.
“Little Bunny, now you see how cruel people can be, don’t you?”
Aurora hadn’t been unconscious for long. Her face felt a soothing touch, someone kissing away her tears, which felt comforting. She opened her eyes to meet Julian’s familiar gaze.
“Julian.”
“Little Bunny,” Julian said, his heart nearly melting as he saw the joy on her face.
Aurora hugged him tightly.
“Julian, you’re back. They wanted to…”
Her voice trailed off, weak and pitiful under the influence of the drug.
It had been a long time since he had seen her so vulnerable; the last time was three years ago when she had run into his arms, tearfully begging him to save her.
“I know, I know everything,” Julian comforted her, holding her slim waist. He would never forget the feeling when he heard her calling out to him for help at the door.
“Julian, aren’t you angry with me anymore?” Aurora blinked, remembering that he had left earlier.
“How could I be angry with you?” Julian gently kissed her forehead, her nose, and her beautiful eyes. Before he could kiss her lips, Aurora met him halfway, driven nearly mad by the effects of the drug. Julian’s kiss ignited a fire that threatened to engulf them both.
“Julian, I want you,” Aurora said incoherently, her mind filled only with thoughts of him.
Julian knew she was under the influence of a drug; otherwise, her shy nature would never allow her to speak so boldly. He opened his arms.
“Then come and take me.”
With his consent, Aurora suddenly gave a seductive smile and removed the tassel from her head, her soft hair cascading down her back. Her enchanting eyes were too much for Julian, who whispered, “Seductress.”
This was just the beginning, and what followed made his blood boil with desire. Aurora, like a thirsty kitten, began to cling to his body, kissing from his cheek to behind his ear, then from there down to his throat. The last time she had done this was on the night she returned to the country, seducing him deliberately to avenge past wrongs.
Aurora was now experienced, unlike before when she had only imitated what she had seen in films. She repeated the same actions Julian typically performed on her.
Her fingers anxiously fumbled with the buttons of his shirt; it was the first time Julian had been treated with such fervor by her. In her urgency, Aurora couldn’t undo his belt, her eyes almost brimming with tears.
“I can’t get it open.”
Seeing Aurora’s childish frustration, Julian was moved. He took her hands and taught her patiently, “Don’t rush, take it slowly.”
“I’m in a hurry, I’m in a hurry,” she muttered, truly seeming desperate.
Julian found himself both amused and exasperated as he playfully pinned Aurora down, murmuring, “Let me satisfy your hunger properly.”
He noticed her hair scattered across the sheets, her eyes moist as if touched by water, her lips made vivid and luscious by his kisses.
Gently, he removed her last restraint, thankful that no one else had seen her body.
Her body was like a finely crafted, exquisite piece of art, every part of it irresistibly captivating to him.
Having tasted her allure, Julian was still deeply enchanted, not to mention Hayden and Eric, who had yet to touch her, their longing for her was immense.
Perhaps she wasn’t the only beauty in the world, but her body possessed an indescribable seductive power.
It was nearly dawn before Aurora’s fiery energy subsided, and for the first time, they fell asleep without bathing, Julian holding her tightly.
Her head instinctively nestled in his chest, a satisfied smile played upon Aurora’s lips, lifting Julian’s long-held somber mood.
When Aurora woke up, her first sensation was pain! It felt as if she had run miles, too exhausted to even lift her arms and legs.
Her legs felt as if they were filled with lead as she surveyed the room.
This wasn’t her home, but a room decorated in Japanese style, sunlight streaming through the window lattice.
Her memory slowly returned.
The previous day, she had been at a hot spring with Eric and others when he suddenly confessed his feelings and drugged her, bringing her here.
Somehow, Eric’s face morphed into Julian’s, sending a chill down her spine.
A terrible thought arose-under the influence of the drug, had she imagined the man to be Julian?
She had read about such scenarios in novels where thieves used drugs to induce hallucinations in women.
If it truly was Eric she had been with last night, Aurora’s emotions were indescribable, feeling as if she had plunged into an icy abyss.
It was impossible for Julian to have returned so soon, so the man she had been with last night wasn’t him.
The sound of running water indicated someone was showering, intensifying her sense of betrayal.
How heartbroken would Julian be if he knew she had been with Eric? In a fit of rage, Aurora grabbed a large vase and charged towards the bathroom.
The pain of being deceived and violated exploded in her mind.
“Eric, I will make you pay dearly!”
The door was ajar, and Aurora kicked it open wide. Julian, hearing the door slam, had no time to react before he saw a woman charging at him with a vase.
Aurora, barefoot with eyes red and a face filled with fury, looked ready to destroy everything in the bathroom.
“Scum, I’ll-Julian, what are you doing here?”
Her arm froze mid-air, her expression locked in shock, her footsteps halted.
