Chapter 12 Stop Messing With Me
Nelissa’s mind was still in shambles. However, she could still discern that this man was indeed Edward Hales.
Before she could react, Edward’s lips had already met with hers. He suddenly leaned forward as he held Nelissa’s hands and dug them into the bed…
Every reaction Nelissa gave just fueled the kinky atmosphere.
Their entwined bodies began to unravel. The pleasure was overwhelming as she felt the strength in her legs slowly wither away.
Edward cupped her face while using another hand to caress her glossy skin. Water began to pool between her legs as her vision turned blurry.
Nelissa closed her eyes; her face was pink and her head was splitting apart.
Suddenly, she was alone on the bed. Not long later, she could hear the sounds of water splashing in the bathroom.
It happened again!
She slept with the same man twice. Even though she could have an excuse for before, she knew what she was going into this time; she knew the man was Edward but she did it anyway!
Nelissa tried to get up but she felt sore. The pain in her head was intense. Her back was sore.
Edward was having a bath with the bathroom door opened. It seemed like Edward wasn’t going to let her leave the room so easily like before.
Nelissa got up, wrapped the blanket around herself and proceeded to pick up her belongings scattered on the floor.
She took a closer look at her clothes; they had been torn apart. It was impossible to wear them now.
She bit her lips as she thought about her next move. Her only choice left was to wear Edward’s clothes.
She couldn’t keep herself wrapped in that blanket; it was silly and it perfumed her nose with Edward’s scent.
She put on Edward’s jet black shirt. Edward was a really tall man and the shirt extended all the way to Nelissa’s knees.
She noticed a card on the ground. She bent over and picked it up: 1006. She looked at another card on the dresser.
1009!
Did she commit a blunder and go to the wrong room?
Nelissa kneeled by the side of the bed and dug her face into the bed. She was still in disbelief over what happened.
At that time, Edward exited the shower with a single towel wrapped around his waist.
The steam from the hot shower and water droplets cruising across his well-toned body further amplified Edward’s mesmerizing presence. His abs seemed to sizzle even within the intense heat of the steam.
He saw Nelissa in his clothes. His eyes were burning with lust. He moved over and sat on the bed by Nelissa.
Nelissa remained in her posture and her face still dug into the bed.
Edward ran his eyes across Nelissa’s voluptuous body and noticed the two keycards in her hands.
He was intrigued; he raised his eyebrows and placed his hands on hers. He gently squeezed them and gripped Nelissa’s delicate hands tightly. He removed a ring from his own fingers before sliding it onto her finger.
Edward’s hands were much larger than Nelissa’s and he was able to completely wrap his hands around hers. Her skills in bed were also unimpressive as though Edward was the only man she had ever slept with!
Edward’s face turned gloomy. The ring didn’t fit.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Nelissa retracted her hand as soon as Edward loosened his grip. Her skin was tingling at the spot where they touched.
She was confused yet slightly aroused.
Suddenly, Nelissa muttered softly, “I came to the wrong room by mistake.” She didn’t even dare look him in the eye.
Edward had already known this after looking at the two keycards.
“Why would I ever reject a woman that offered herself to me at my doorstep?” he said with a slight trace of pride and arrogance.
Nelissa clenched her teeth as she struggled to find words to retort him. Frustration was drumming through her veins.
Did he think that she deliberately entered the wrong room to get into bed with him?! What a shameless, narcissistic man!
“Can I go now?” mumbled Nelissa as she clenched her fists.
“Wearing like that?” Edward scanned Nelissa with his lecherous eyes. His gaze stopped at Nelissa’s legs.
Edward flicked the bottom edge of the shirt up.
“Clap!”
Nelissa hit his hand away and immediately ran to the bathroom. She slammed the door. Her entire face was as red as an apple at that point.
Edward didn’t seem to mind. He found his pants, took out his phone and gave Andrew a call.
He held the ring between his fingers. His eyes were filled with raging enthusiasm. It was clear that he wasn’t done yet.
Nelissa took a long, hot shower. She rested her head against the wall as she thought of what to do next. She still couldn’t think straight.
Just when she thought that she had made things clear with Edward, they spent another night together. It even seemed like Nelissa made the first move this time.
Nelissa couldn’t stop thinking about what happened the night before. She patted her cheeks and said to herself, “Calm down, Nelissa. You’re no longer an 18 year-old girl. You are a 23 year old woman with two kids now.”
Whatever happened was just a casual encounter between two adults.
It was nothing serious and it had no lines attached. Edward couldn’t possibly want anything more, right?
No man could possibly willingly bear such a responsibility, especially someone as smug and arrogant as Edward Hales!
Nelissa wrapped herself in a towel and looked in the mirror. She turned the tap open and washed her face with cold water to calm herself down.
Suddenly, she could hear the door to the room open and close not long after. It seemed like someone had left the room.
Nelissa immediately put on a bathrobe and went out of the bathroom. To her surprise, Edward was there leaning by the wall.
Edward only had his pants on and he was puffing on a cigar. He didn’t even turn to look at Nelissa when he handed her a bag.
“Here’s a fresh change of clothes.”
Nelissa took the bag and was debating whether she wanted to thank him for it when suddenly, Edward leaned forward. He stopped at Nelissa’s ear and whispered under his breath, “You smell really good.”
Nelissa took a step back and glared at him.
“Stop making fun of me!”
Edward shrugged his shoulders and took out a platinum necklace. He then slipped the ring onto the necklace before wearing it around Nelissa’s neck.
Nelissa shook her head but she didn’t dare to stop Edward. His bare body was too much to bear for her little heart. Only God knew how much effort she had put in to avert her eyes from his chest.
“What is the meaning of this?”
“It’s for you. You can throw it away, you can sell it. It’s up to you.” Edward turned around and ambled away.
Nelissa went back into the bathroom, slammed the door and changed her clothes. She couldn’t properly stand up to him wearing like that!
Who knew what he would do?
Nelissa looked into the bag. It was a chiffon dress and pink-colored lingerie.
She looked in the mirror after changing and realized that this outfit was the exact outfit she wore five years ago when they shared their first night together!
At dawn.
Zayden left room 1006.
During check-out, he asked the receptionist, “Do you know where the lady that booked this room went?”
“Oh, she left.” The receptionist thought that Zayden was asking about Penelope.
Zayden left the hotel depressed.
The night before, Penelope phoned him saying that Nelissa was waiting for him in that room.
He put down everything he was doing and rushed over. He thought that Nelissa had decided to get back together with him after all they have been through!
He waited and waited in the room, but she never showed up.
The next morning, Nelissa and Edward both checked-out of the hotel. Edward insisted on sending her home.
The valet and hotel manager all gave Nelissa strange looks.
Edward was a very well-known public figure in Haleston City. Nelissa knew that she needed to keep a low profile and to stay out of sight as well. She didn’t need anymore trouble in her life.
During the entire ride, they remained silent.
Nelissa wasn’t very experienced in one-night-stands. She didn’t know what the appropriate social response was in that situation.
She turned and looked at Edward. His jawline was captivating. He seemed more experienced. Maybe silence was the play here.
Back at the condominium.
Nelissa thanked Edward and hurriedly unfastened her seatbelt. She reached for the door but it was locked!
Edward turned to her and said in a magnetic voice, “I’ll send you up.”
Nelissa declined. She didn’t want him to meet the twins.
“My kids are waiting for me. I don’t want them to see a man sending me home after a night out. They might get the wrong impression.”
Edward seemed annoyed. He unlocked the door and Nelissa dashed out the car in an instant.
She opened the door to her house and there they were. The twins and Jolene were having their breakfast.
“Mommy, you didn’t come home last night. you broke the curfew!”
The twins shouted out.
Nelissa hugged them excitedly and kissed them on their chubby cheeks.
“What are you wearing?” Jolene noticed the dress. Her eyes lit up.
“When the school bus is here, get them on it and…” Nelissa started whispering. She leaned in closer to Jolene.
“… and get me a box of morning-after pills.”
“What…” Nelissa covered Jolene’s mouth before she could say anything!
“There are children here! Don’t say that in front of them. They’ll pick it up quickly!”
