waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 156 " Are you done yet ? " Madeleine felt like he'd been at it for a long time , asking with a yawn and slightly narrowed eyes . " Almost . " It was mostly dry . Roderick turned off the blow - dryer and smoothed her hair with his palms . His eyes were still fixed on Madeleine's neck , where a few drops of water still clung , slowly sliding down the curve of her skin and disappearing into the collar of her bathrobe . His Adam's apple bobbed slightly , but the movement of his hands remained gentle , as if afraid of pulling even a single strand of her hair .

Madeleine closed her eyes in comfort , sighing like a lazy cat . " You're such a pro , Roderick . Did you take classes at a salon ? " Roderick's eyes were full of amusement . He suddenly leaned down , his thin lips gently pressing against Chapter 156 that small patch of skin on her neck , his tongue catching the water droplet that was about to fall . Madeleine felt a shiver run through her entire body . She quickly opened her eyes and tried to shrink her neck away . " Roderick ... " " Don't hide .

" Roderick wrapped his arms around Madeleine's neck from behind , cupping its nape and devoutly kissing away the water droplets one by one . It felt like something was nibbling on her , and Madeleine's neck felt hot and itchy . She couldn't stop a slight tremble , and her voice changed pitch . " Ro ... Roderick , don't ... " Before she could finish , his large hand moved to her cheek . Roderick decisively turned her head to face him and sealed her lips with his . After kissing for a moment , Roderick , worried her neck would get uncomfortable , simply picked her up and turned her around .

Chapter 156 Then , placing his hands under her arms , he lifted her gently and sat her on the dressing table . Trapped between his arms , his hand then cupped her cheek , his thumb caressing her flushed skin and hot earlobe . He kissed her again . The mirror reflected their overlapping figures , the steamy surface making everything look hazy and ambiguous . Madeleine couldn't remember how many times she had kissed Roderick . She realized she was becoming more and more accustomed to his intimacy , even enjoying it .

Lost in the moment , she unconsciously raised her hands and wrapped them around Roderick's neck . But the man in front of her pulled back slightly , his eyes crinkling with amusement . " Didn't you say you couldn't lift your arms? " His voice was impossibly low and husky , his breath so hot it made Madeleine's face burn instantly . Chapter 156 She didn't answer , just tilted her head up and continued the kiss . Roderick deepened the kiss with a force that wouldn't be denied , yet became incredibly gentle the moment his lips touched hers . Like a desert traveler finding an oasis .

He drank from her greedily , tangling with her until she could barely breathe . The bottles and jars on the dressing table were knocked over , making a crisp clattering sound . Startled , Madeleine lifted her leg , and Roderick's large hand , which had somehow found its way there , clasped it , sliding up from her calf . Everywhere he touched felt like it was being set on fire . " Wait , wait ... " Madeleine pushed him away , panting . The daze in Roderick's eyes hadn't yet faded . " Wait again ? " Chapter 156 " Kev ... " " He's already asleep . " " And your work ... " " It's done .

" " But I ... " Roderick didn't give her another chance to speak , kissing her as he picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom . His arms were strong and steady , holding her securely , and Madeleine had to wrap her arms around his neck to keep her balance . Roderick had turned on the heat earlier , so the bedroom was warm and dry . It even made Madeleine feel a little hot . She was practically hanging off Roderick , her eyes closed as the world spun around her . Before she knew it , she had been tossed onto the bed . The soft mattress caught her body , bouncing slightly .

Chapter 156 Roderick was over her in a second , but he supported himself on his elbows , keeping his full weight off her . His gaze was bottomless , and a fire she had never seen before burned within it . He didn't rush to continue , but lowered his head to look at her , from her eyes to her red lips , as if he were admiring a masterpiece for the ages . " What ... are you looking at ? " Madeleine's face was burning hot , and for a moment , she didn't know where to look . With Roderick's head lowered like that , she had a perfect view of his exposed , muscular chest .

Unable to control herself for a moment , Madeleine swallowed hard as she looked away . Roderick's lips curved into a smile , a hint of triumph in it . He gently ran his fingers through Madeleine's long hair , which was spread across the pillow , his voice so low only she could hear : " Do you know what I want to do ?
