waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

His warm breath ghosted over her ear , full of obvious suggestion . " Honey , our son's asleep . How about we ... one round ? just play Think of it as helping me relax . You've been busy lately , and I've been really tense too . " His arms circled her waist , gentle but firm , leaving no room for refusal . His lips grazed her earlobe , a barely - there touch . He was teasing her so much her knees felt weak , and her heart began to race uncontrollably . The lighting was too intimate , the scent too alluring , and the embrace of the man behind her was just too familiar , too reassuring .

She let him lead her to the game board and sat down , still grumbling : " Just one game , okay ? After this , I'm going back to be with our son ... You promised . " " Alright , just one game . " Chapter 280 Roderick agreed readily , but a confident smile flashed in his eyes . He picked up the dice . " You first , honey ? " The game began . The rules of this Ludo board game had clearly been " specially " designed . The number Madeleine rolled landed her on a space that read , " Lightly kiss the other person's Adam's apple for ten seconds .

" She blushed , shot Roderick a playfully annoyed look , but still leaned in , tilting her head up , her soft lips gently pressing against his slightly bobbing Adam's apple . Time seemed to stretch . She could clearly feel the warmth of his skin , the beat of his pulse , and his deepening breath . When it was Roderick's turn , the space he landed on was " Massage the other person's shoulders and neck for three minutes . " " Oh , this one's nice .

I'm actually a little tired ." Madeleine beamed , straightening her back to let Roderick Chapter 280 knead her shoulders , little did she know how alluring her smiling face was at that moment . Roderick suppressed the pounding in his chest , skillfully kneading her slightly stiff shoulders and neck . The pressure was just right . Madeleine couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh , her body relaxing slightly . The game progressed slowly in an intimate and suggestive atmosphere . The instructions on the spaces grew bolder and more provocative .

" Whisper a sweet nothing in the other's ear " " Undo one of the other's buttons " " Exchange an intimate article of clothing " Clothing became disheveled , breaths began to mingle , and the temperature in the air steadily climbed . Madeleine's face was already flushed , her shimmering eyes glistening . Her initial resistance and the thought of going back Chapter 280 to her son were long forgotten . Roderick watched her , lost in passion , a triumphant smile playing on his lips .

He tossed the dice again , and the game piece ' landed precisely on a square marked with a heart and the word " Finish . " He put down the dice , swept the limp Madeleine into his arms , and walked toward the large , soft bed . " Huh ? Isn't the ... game over ? " Madeleine wrapped her arms around his neck , her voice soft and weak . " Yes , the game is over . " Roderick gently laid her on the bed , his tall frame covering hers , his burning gaze locking onto her . " But the winner's ' reward ' ... and the loser's ' punishment ' are just getting started, aren't they ?

" He lowered his head and kissed her lips , silencing whatever she was about to say , swallowing all her protests and faint Chapter 280 murmurs . Roderick's kiss was gentle , yet impossible to resist . Madeleine had meant to remind him about her son , but somehow , under his advances , she gradually lost the ability to think . His fingers gently brushed against her cheek , sending a slight shiver through her . " Focus . " He whispered against her lips , his breath warm , " The game isn't over yet . " Madeleine let out a soft moan , her fingers unconsciously tightening on his shirt .

The kisses moved from her lips , trailing down her jawline to linger on her neck . She tilted her head back slightly , feeling his soft kisses , her breathing quickening . His hand slid over her waist , his fingertips tracing lightly through the fabric , bringing a tingling sensation . Chapter 280 Madeleine couldn't help but flinch , but he only pulled her tighter into his embrace . "Roderick ... " she called his name softly , a barely perceptible tremor in her voice . " Hmm ? " He answered , but his movements didn't stop .

A shower of kisses landed on her collarbone , as gentle as falling raindrops . Madeleine felt a little dizzy . The scent of aromatherapy in the room seemed to grow stronger , lingering around her and making her relax even more . Every one of his touches was just right , neither too rushed nor without clear intent . His fingers deftly undid the buttons of her blouse . Madeleine could feel the warmth of his fingertips through the thin fabric , making her instinctively lean closer to him . " Do you still remember you have to go home to your son ?

" He whispered in her ear , a hint of a smile in his voice .
