Okay , lets go , Ellison said , his voice steady and sure .

He turned and walked toward the elevator , Joycelyn trailing behind him , her heart pounding .

As they stepped inside , Joycelyn kept her head down , her wet hair dripping onto the floor .

She looked like a lost puppy .

shivering and small behind his commanding presence .

Despite his expensive suit being soaked and her broken suitcasen hand , Ellison maintained an air of calm composure as if nothing could ruffle him .

Relief washed over her .

He had pulled her out of despair , after all No woman could resist being cared for in her darkest moments , even if they both had their own motives .

Were here , he announced as the elevator doors opened .

He carried her suitcase out , glancing back at the girl , who still stood there , dazed .

Oh , she murmured , quickly following him .

The villa was stunning , with cool gray tones that made the space feel crisp and refreshing , much like Ellison himself .

Every detail was meticulously crafted , like a piece of art .

She had never entered such a beautiful , spacious home before .

The guest room hasnt been used .

Ill get you bedding from my foom .

Go take a shower and change your clothes , he said .

handing the suitcase to her .

His every word carried the authority of a superior .

His voice was cool and commanding , brooking no argument .

She didnt dare look at him , only nodding obediently .

Okay She dragged the suitcase with its broken wheel into the guest room .

The space boasted a new bed and sofa , far nicer than her small room at home .

Clean and bright , it was several times larger than her previous space , with its own bathroom .

She felt Butter of excitement .

Opening the suitcase , she froze .

No wonder it felt so heavy the broken case had let water seep in.

All her clothes were soaked .

She rummaged through everything , finding nothing wearable .

All wet ? he asked , looking at her suitcase .

She bit her lip in frustration .

Yeah , Ill use a hairdryer later .

Ill get you something to wear , he said and left the room .

She crouched on the floor , watching his soaked pant legs , her heart racing .

Her skin felt hot enough to dry her wet clothes by body heat alone .

As she gathered her clothes to wash , he returned with a black shirt .

Use my bathroom .

Theres no hot water or shower gel here , he said .

She looked at the black shirt , lifting her wet face to reveal red , swollen eyes filled with timidity .

She stood there gazing at him , clearly hesitating .

Dont catch a cold .

Ill help wash your clothes , he said , tossing the shirt at her and scooping up everything from the suitcase .

The strength difference between them was stark she had struggled to lift them .

12:52 Mon , Feb 10 D Chapter 4 Watching his wet figure , her face flushed deeper .

Holding the black shirt , she hesitated but remembered his gentlemanly behavior .

Were not even officially married yet , she thought .

He should still behave ! But she misjudged how men could be .

Or perhaps Ellison misjudged his own limits .

He put her clothes in the washing machine along with his shirt .

Returning , he saw her cautiously moving toward his room .

His clear eyes narrowed slightly .

She entered the master bedroom in amazement .

Moncy sure is good , she thought .

His bedroom alone was as big as a three- bedroom apartment .

Unsure where the bathroom was , she stood there , dazed .

Ellison approached from behind .

As she pushed open the bathroom door , he wrapped an arm around her waist , lifting her inside .

The door closed with a soft click .

She stood there wet and sticky , looking up at him in shock .

What … what are you doing ? she stammered .

The previously composed man was now shirtless , standing in the bathroom with her .

To avoid catching a cold , well shower together , he said calmly , making her blush deeply .

No , you go first .

Ill wait , she struggled to escape .

Ellison , seeing her embarrassment , let go but lifted her onto the counter , standing close .

Embarrassed ? he asked .

No.

She shook her head , water dripping from her hair onto her pale face , making her look soft and vulnerable .

He cupped her face .

You bit and scratched me yesterday .

Today , youll wash me as punishment .

Fair , right ? His deep voice in the quiet bathroom was mesmerizing .

She blushed deeply , her eyes flickering over his bare chest .

He had a perfect body , tall and well built , Rainwater dripped from his hair, tracing the contours of his muscular frame , down his throat , and across his broad chest .

She saw the bite mark she had left in retaliation for the pain he had caused her .

Perhaps it was the first time she had seen a man so closely .

She couldnt look away , her eyes lingering on his wet , defined ab remembering the feel of his hard muscles .

Her body grew hot He took in her every expression .

Dont I look better without clothes ? Hmm ? She covered her face with embarrassment , I dont want to answer that .

He carried her under the shower , the warm water making her already hot skin even hotter .

He guided her hand to his pants .
