I saw the mesmerizing glint in his eyes .

I didnt just sell my title Lsold mysell I But I wasnt entirely at a loss .

After all , countless women had wanted to climb into Alexs bed .

And I was the only one hed bought with money .

Even so , a twinge of hateness made my fist clench , nails digging into my palm Alex grinned , planting a soft kiss on my forehead , the heat of his lips sending a shiver through me .

He leaned in close to my ear and whispered .

Dont worry , I wont touch you without your consent .

With that , he ripped open the collar of his shirt and pulled off his jacket I couldnt help but sneer .

Unsatisfied ? I quickly turned and bolted into the bathroom , but I didnt follow his instructions to run cold water .

Instead , I filled the tub with warm water .

Had he drunk so much that he wanted a cold bath ? Or was he just completely out of his mind ? When Alex entered the bathroom , I was about to send a message to Angela when my phone lit up .

It was a message from Angela Clothes are hanging on the door .

How long has it beent is your husband incapable ? I paused for a moment , then quickly received a second message from her .

I wasnt trying to hear this , just curious ! Maybe you should introduce him to a doctor ? Lucas works at the hospital want me to ask him ? * The messages made me laugh despite myself , but my face also flushed with embarrassment .

He doesnt need a doctor .

I sent that reply , then quickly unsent it .

I couldnt help but replay what had just happened in my mind , and a dry thirst crept over me .

I grabbed the wine glass on the table and drained it in one gulp .

Dont think that I didnt see you unsend the message .

Tonight , were getting to the bottom of this .

Tell me tomorrow how the dinner and dessert went .

Angelas message ended with a series of playful , lewd emojis .

I couldnt help in feel a mix of amusement and embarrassment .

As I put the phone down , I noticed the silence from the bathroom .

My heart sank .

Could the old fox be in trouble ? 1 quickly put my phone down and walked to the bathroom door .

Before I could knock , I realized it wasnt locked .

Alex ? I began to call out , but before I could finish , Alex pushed open the door .

He stood there , his upper body bare , muscles sculpted and defined .

A towel Chapter 60 was wrapped around his waist , his cheeks flashed I immediately turned my face away , Angelas provocative words still echoing in my mind .

Tint I tell you to run cold water ? Alexs voice sounded weak as he spoke .

I was taken aback .

His face wasnt flushed anymore , and there was no sign of the earlier heat .

Are you feeling sick ? Should I take you to the hospital I looked up at Alex , sensing something was off .

Has once entrancing eyes were now fixed on me with an intensity that made me feel like prey .

His sharp features high cheekbones , a straight nose , deep set eyes , and sensual lips made my heart race again He clenched his fists , his whole body tense , as though he were battling an inner storm .

1 instinctively took a couple of steps back , fear and confusion flashing across my face .

Id never seen Alex like this before always calm , polite , with a subtle , playful smile .

But now his brow was furrowed deeply , his whole demeanor exuding a cold , frightening energy .

My stomach dropped .

I wiped my sweaty palms on my sides , trying to mask my anxiety .

Youre mad at me , but I didnt drug you , I said , my voice steady .

I know you didnt , Alex replied with a deep breath , trying to steady himself .

Otherwise , I wouldnt have come to your room .

I could see the frustration in his eyes .

Didnt expect to fall into the trap again , he said with a bitter laugh , his voice low , I blinked , wondering if the rumors about women scheming to get into Alexs bed were true .

It seemed they really were .

That kind of drug is colorless and tasteless .

Its not surprising we both got caught , I said , my voice calm .

After all , Id been drugged once before But I wouldnt tell Alex that .

We werent close enough for me to reveal such things .

Suddenly , Alex grabbed the ashtray from the table in a fit of frustration .

What are you doing ? I hurriedly grabbed his arm .

What if you bleed out ! Just do it , Alex said , handing me the ashtray .

Alexs eyes snapped open , locking on me wi with an intense gaze .

Youre willing to ! still holding back , but I saw his body tremble .

I set the ashtray down and took a deep breath .

Without besitation , I leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips .

His lips were burning hot .

Before I knew it , Alex pulled me away , but his fiery gaze stayed on me , as though he wanted to consume me Seems like your ex never taught you how to kiss , he said , his voice dripping with mocking disdain .
