Her situation was growing increasingly precarious.
Stephan bit her rosy cheek. “If you won’t let me do that, then surely we can just soak in the hot spring together?”
Alana’s cheek was kissed by the man, and she instinctively bit her lip. “No, we can’t! I’m leaving!”
Anyway, being alone with him would only make things more dangerous.
Especially in a place where someone could walk in at any moment.
Stephan chuckled, “You can soak with your coworkers, but you can’t soak with me? Alana, you’re playing favorites.”
“I don’t care. If others can have it, so can I. Today, I want you to soak with me until we’re both satisfied!”
Stephan didn’t hesitate to rip off his bathrobe and pick her up.
Alana let out a startled gasp and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. She watched helplessly as he carried her, step by step, into the warm bath.
The moment they entered the tub, she turned away from him, trying to escape.
Stephan curved his lips. Now that she was in his den, how could she possibly escape?!
Before Alana could climb out, Stephan forced her to the edge of the tub, braced his hands on either side of her, and kissed her deeply.
Alana kept trying to dodge him, but she couldn’t escape; the man succeeded effortlessly.
Half their bodies were submerged in the bath, and the water, which had been calm at first, gradually began to ripple and surge.
Vaguely, one could make out the figures entangled beneath the water.
Carla didn’t see Alana return, so she sent her a message, but she didn’t reply. “That’s strange. Didn’t she say she was just going out for some fresh air and would be back soon? Why hasn’t she come back up yet?”
Thinking that it was almost time for their dinner date, Carla went out to look for her.
“Alana?!”
“Alana?!”
“Where are you?”
“Lana, if you can hear me, please answer! We’re supposed to go out to eat together!!!”
Alana’s face flushed crimson; she was already lost in a daze of passion. But she still heard Carla’s voice, and her senses gradually returned.
She couldn’t help but nudge the man in front of her.
Her voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a faint, weary hoarseness.
It was utterly enchanting.
“Stephan, that’s enough... enough...My colleague is looking for me...”
Stephan wrapped his large hand around her slender waist, his thin lips pressed against the tender hollow of her neck, leaving his mark on her again and again.
“Let her look for you. Today, no matter who it is, no one is taking you away from me.”
Alana bit her lip, a mist of moisture gathering at the tips of her eyelashes.
Her hands pressed helplessly against his chest, yet she couldn’t stop him from doing as he pleased.
Her voice was pitiful, tinged with pleading.
“Stephan, can we go back? If we go back, I’ll let you do whatever you want...”
Stephan couldn’t help but chuckle softly as his slender fingers gently pinched the area just below her navel.
“You won’t be able to escape even if we go back. Just for spreading rumors to my mom that I wear skirts and dance ballet, don’t even think I’ll let you off the hook that easily!”
Alana gasped.
Wait, hasn’t it been several days since that happened?
And he’s actually planning to settle the score with her later?
How could he hold a grudge for so long?
Cole heard Carla’s voice and lost all interest in soaking any longer. He quickly slipped on a bathrobe, tying the sash as he hurried out to meet her.
“Where’s Alana?”
Carla shook her head. “I don’t know. She was just with me a moment ago. She said she was going out for some fresh air, but it’s been half an hour now and she hasn’t shown up.”
Cole frowned. “Have you called her?”
Carla replied, “I have. I sent her a message and called her, but she’s not answering the phone or replying to my messages.”
Cole clenched his fists, growing increasingly anxious inside.
Grace and Danielle heard the commotion and came out.
Grace speculated, “She hasn’t gotten lost, has she?”
Danielle muttered under her breath, “Getting lost in a place this small? That’s just plain stupid.”
Hearing this, Cole shot Danielle a sharp, disapproving glance.
Danielle immediately shrank her neck, feeling guilty.
Cole ordered, “Since Lana is missing, let’s split up and look for her. Call me when any of you find her, and we’ll meet up at the designated spot later.”
Carla and Grace had no objections. “Okay.”
Cole turned to Danielle, “Danielle, do you understand?”
Danielle pouted. “Got it.”
The group began to split up.
Little did they know that Alana was in the private bathhouse closest to them, being ruthlessly and wildly ravaged by a man.
Alana heard the voices outside and turned pale with fear.
She reached out and tapped the man’s chest...not too hard, not too soft, just a gentle tickle.
“Stephan, can you hear that? They’re looking for me. You have to stop!”
His eyes darkened, his hoarse voice tinged with smoldering desire. “How can I possibly stop now?”
Alana said anxiously, “I don’t care! If you don’t stop, they’ll find me!”
His long, slender fingers squeezed her slender waist slightly harder, a wicked smile curving his lips. “So what if they find you...If they find me here with you... wouldn’t that be quite the thrill, hmm?”
Alana tensed.
No way!
He’s so bold...he doesn’t even care if someone catches us?!
She was frantic with worry and gently pushed against his rock-hard chest. “I...I’m not as shameless as you! Before anyone finds us, stop this right now!”
Stephan leaned down to kiss her, smiling reassuringly. “Don’t worry, this is a private bath. No one will come in.”
“I don’t believe you! Stop it right now!”
Stephan raised an eyebrow mischievously. “Want to scream again? Do you want to attract a crowd of onlookers?”
“Go ahead. The louder you scream, the more excited I get.”
Alana was so ashamed and furious she could do nothing but open her mouth and bite down on the man’s shoulder.
She was trying to get him to let her go.
Stephan’s expression instantly lit up with pleasure, his voice sexy and seductive. “Ooh, baby, that feels so good. Keep biting!”
Aaaah!
This pervert!
Cole came by the door of a private room and knocked.
He heard no response, and his eyes darkened.
He couldn’t help but grab the doorknob. This time, without a moment’s hesitation, he swiftly opened the door and pushed his way inside.
He could now clearly see the scene inside the hot spring room.
Alana was almost completely submerged in the hot spring, with only her head and neck visible, her eyes wide with shock.
The water in the pool was rippling quite strongly, constantly undulating, but a layer of flower petals floated on the surface, obscuring the view of what lay beneath.
When Alana saw Cole enter, she looked like a startled deer, her eyes wide with panic.
“Cole, what...what...”
Cole’a voice was deep and low. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear your reply. I was just searching for you.”
Alana was frantic, afraid Cole would notice something was wrong. She couldn’t help but urge him to leave. “I’m fine, just get out!”
“Are you alone in here?”
As he spoke, his gaze couldn’t help but take in the hot spring room.
It was a very small room with almost no furnishings...nothing but the hot spring pool
where Alana was lying.
As he watched the water rippling faintly and moving behind Alana...it looked like she was trying not to make a sound.
Cole felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Seeing Cole’s gaze sweeping the room, Alana grew increasingly nervous. She nodded eagerly. “Yes...I’m the only one here.”
