I was starting to feel frustrated that we had co this far and she still wasn’t willing to fully open up.
Jessica was different from Lily: having experienced a difficult marriage, her cautiousness was understandable.
Low-key guy: [Alright, wait for . I’ll be there soon.]
Twenty minutes later, at ten o’clock in the evening, I arrived at the Sevan Hilton Hotel.
I had to acknowledge the luxurious surroundings, prompting to temporarily remove my mask to avoid being mistaken for a suspicious criminal. Stepping into the elevator, I quickly put it back on.
The eighth floor boasted a noble suite with a price tag of twenty-eight grand for a single night, a detail I had just checked.
Standing outside room 806, I cleared my throat and modulated my voice to a low, magnetic tone.
I knocked on the door, and after a while, a voice ca from inside. "Who is it?"
"Silly, guess!"
"You’re here!"
Surprised, she opened the door quickly. My heart raced, almost leaping into my throat. Standing before was a woman wearing a purple mask and a lace dress. The mask concealed the upper part of her face, and her alluring fiery red lips were glossy and captivating. Her dress, emphasizing her curvaceous figure, was especially enchanting.
"I’m here!"
The first thing I said after opening the door.
Her eyes were full of joy but also a bit reserved. "Co in... co in."
The reality was different from what I had envisioned. I had imagined that we would embrace passionately and kiss fervently as soon as we t, but in truth, we were both a bit reserved and embarrassed.
"Mm." I nodded and walked in. She closed the door and locked it behind .
The room was large and inviting, with a cozy arrangent. Near the window, there was wine and steak on the table, accompanied by flickering candles.
It was only at that mont that I realized the bed was adorned with petals, and the scent of roses filled the room.
"Please... have a seat." She brushed the hair falling around her ear and seed shy.
I took her hand. "You sit too!"
After we both sat down, I couldn’t help but say, "Oh, darling, you look so enchanting tonight!"
I held her soft hand in my right hand, revealing the "sweet" tattoo boldly, and she noticed it too. "The tattoo on your hand..."
"I got it specifically for you." I smiled, "How about it, do you like it?"
"You got it for ?" She hesitated for a mont, her eyes filled with emotion. "Do I deserve you to do this for ?"
"Of course you do. Before I t you, everything in the world was dull. But after eting you, I suddenly felt that life is worth living!"
Whether she’s eighteen or eighty, every woman loves to hear sweet words.
Rember to get out of being single, you must rember this phrase.
"I apologize for earlier today. I didn’t handle the situation as I should have, and instead, I blad and hurt you. I have reproached myself countless tis internally, and as I was doing so for the thousandth and first ti, I resolved to co and find you!"
I said with a magnetic voice. "I’m Troy, and I swear to protect you completely."
"Troy? You said your na is Troy?"
"Yes, why, is that na not good?"
In fact, this was deliberate on my part. Wearing this mask as a disguise couldn’t be sustained for long.
"Good... good na." She smiled, "Darling, my real na is actually Jessica!"
’Well, at least it’s not made up out of thin air.’
"Nice, can I call you Jessica from now on?"
"Yes, sure!"
She nodded shyly but then asked, confused. "Did you drink before coming here?"
I wasn’t alard. I had already planned how to respond.
"Yes, I thought I’d be able to see you soon, got too nervous, so I had a drink to boost my courage."
The champagne I had earlier was not strong and had a low alcohol content. Additionally, I was overly excited and ended up driving Lily ho while under the influence. I felt a bit scared afterward and made a resolution not to be reckless in the future.
She chuckled, "Am I that scary? Do you think I might eat you?"
She didn’t think too deeply.
"Of course not, I was just too excited."
I poured her a glass of wine and one for myself. Raising the glass, I said. "To our first eting."
"Cheers!"
With just a light touch, the atmosphere beca romantic.
The room’s lights had gone out at so point, leaving only a flickering candle.
The air conditioning in the room was set low, but my body felt inexplicably hot.
After enjoying wine and steak, we sat by the bed, the earlier awkwardness dissipating. The soft light at the head of the bed created a warr atmosphere. I made a deliberate effort to refrain from making any advances.
"Do you know how much I’ve missed you? I think about you during the day, at night, in my dreams, even when consoling myself: it’s about you."
She whispered, her cheeks turning red, but a mature woman is a mature woman. Leaning against , she said, "I miss you too, so much that I can’t sleep. There were monts when I had to change my underwear just thinking about you.."
I hesitated as her words were quite direct, almost a clear hint. However, I knew I had to hold back from being too forward, even though I desired more. Following her cue, I replied. "I feel the sa way. I change clothes almost every day..."
This response seed to relax her, and she lted into my embrace. As I lifted her up, her shapely buttocks made it challenging for to resist. The aroma of orchids and musk on her skin continually stirred my restless heart.
I knew that if I took her now, she wouldn’t resist at all. On the contrary, she would actively cooperate.
But things would definitely escalate afterward, like she would want to see my true face.
That was a certainty.
The first ti, I could co up with excuses to avoid it, but the second ti, I couldn’t say no. If I did, she would feel deceived and that I had played with her emotions.
She was already emotionally hurt, and adding to that would make it unforgivable, with no chance of moving forward. As I contemplated this, my thoughts beca clearer.
I couldn’t go through with it, at least not until I knew how to navigate our relationship. My focus now was on taking the chance to deeply connect with her heart, making her unable to imagine life without .
"Let see your wound." I said softly.
She trembled. "No....please don’t."
I gently touched her chin, gazing into her eyes. "I want to witness it, to etch it deeply into my heart. I want to see clearly the pain that scumbag caused you. I will make sure to repay him tenfold, a hundredfold in the future!"
"Don’t, you’re not him... don’t provoke him."
"Do you lack confidence in ?"
"No, it’s not.."
"You lack confidence in . His family has power and connections. You think I’m just an ordinary person who can’t handle him, right?"
I looked at her intently and said. "Trust . I won’t rely on useless efforts or physical force. Instead, I’ll use my intelligence to strategically take him down, one step at a ti."
She shook her head, saying, "I don’t want you to get hurt."
I firmly held her shoulders, "Jessica, believe in . I don’t want my partner to live under the influence of a despicable person. I want to dispel the darkness in your heart and let you bask in the sunlight once more."
At that mont, Jessica was stunned, mouth agape, unable to speak for a mont.
Continuing, I expressed, "If I can’t even protect you, what kind of man am I? Why should I have you, why should I keep you, and why should I utter those insincere words to you!"
Jessica was no longer a naive girl; she valued reality over sweet words that only provided temporary comfort, not lifelong assurance.
"I promised to protect you unconditionally for a lifeti. Not a month, not a day, not a minute, not a second less!"
