Arthur now knew the reason why Sophia kept drinking. It was to boost her confidence to make a move on him! She had learned the tricks!
Although he had been suppressing his desire well, it seemed like she could not rein it back anymore. A wasted Sophia was nestling in his arms as she had drank too much.
When the elevator door opened, he had no choice but to carry her in bridal style. She gladly buried her face into his chest while she felt her body floating on the clouds. Inhaling the scent on him, her face began to burn.
He opened the door and placed her on the couch. Since she was completely wasted, she might not be able to do anything regardless of how much she wished to.
However, Sophia was seemingly eager about it as she beckoned him over with her finger. “You… Come right here.”
Arthur ignored her while he was busy switching on the curtain opener and the air conditioner. Plus, he would not accept any advances from her when she was still under the influence of alcohol. What if she deems it as a bad experience when she‘s sober? It will be my loss, then.
“Artie, come over here,” she sweetly called while lying on the couch.
Yet, he only gave her a cup of water. “Have some water. Let‘s talk when you’re sober.”
“No! I don‘t wanna be sober.” She shook her head, knowing that she would not have the guts to do the naughty things without a push from the alcohol.
Arthur sat opposite her and declared in a serious tone, “You can only do things to me when you‘re sober or else, it‘s no deal.”
Sophia blinked her beady eyes. “Why won‘t you? This is your chance.”
Suddenly, jealousy surged within him as she would have been taken advantage of had she been with another man in this state. “Sophia Goodwin, promise me that I‘ll be the only one you wanna do bad things with. Got it?” he ordered.
However, she disagreed, “But you said that it‘s no deal, so why should I promise you?”
Feeling helpless, Arthur stared at her before rising to his feet to approach her. “Are you sure you want it? You can‘t have me stop midway, though.”
Sophia wrapped her arms around his neck in response. “I swear.”
He held his breath as he felt her body burning like the sun, igniting his body into fire.
Then, he stretched out his arms to carry her toward the bedroom. In a gruff voice, he replied, “As you wish.”
Even if it was still early, things were getting steamy in the bedroom.
On the other side, Anastasia was feeling dizzy although she had attempted to control her alcohol intake. With red cheeks, she came to her husband and rested in his arms.
Elliot wrapped his arms around her naturally. As a reward for the tiring night, he pecked on her head gently. “Let‘s go take a rest in the room.”
She smiled and whispered, “Jared is not around tonight. Any ideas on what we should do next?”
At the sight of his beautiful wife cuddling in his arms, his voice became restrained and hoarse. “Well, I‘ll listen to you tonight. I‘ll stop when you‘re tired.”
Anastasia burst into laughter while resting her head on his chest to hide her chuckles. Needless to say, she was anticipating the night as well.
Once the event was coming to an end, the employees tended to the guests by escorting them to their respective rooms, so the couple could leave earlier.
Standing not far away from them was Katrina, who was watching them leave with bitterness. Deep down in her heart, she could not forget the pathetic sight of Anastasia wandering alone in another country. However, the table had now turned. Anastasia was stunning and confident in front of everyone; that very fact alone had elicited jealousy in Katrina.
Jacob, who shared the same fate as she did, approached her. “Kat, wanna have a drink together tonight?”
Truth be told, she looked down upon someone like him. Although he was Mr. Presgrave too, his family business was not of the same league as the Presgrave Group; its future was basically bleak.
Even so, it was fine to have a little bit of fun.
“Sure.” Katrina gladly accepted the invitation.
In fact Elliot owned the hotel. The moment Anastasia entered the room, the man who had promised to listen to her trapped her against the door with his blazing gaze upon her.
“Sorry, sweetheart, but I‘m not going to let you go tonight,” he apologized before pressing his lips against hers aggressively.
She was the only person who knew how he would behave after forsaking his sophisticated and cold image, which was shown to the public; beneath that facade lay a beast.
Still, it was early to determine who was the one in control tonight as Anastasia was the siren waiting for her husband to take the bait.
Otherwise, she would not have let her hair down in the elevator and made eyes at him while being all touchy by linking arms with him or leaning on him. The coy act was to display her charms to appeal to Elliot, who was the only one who could enjoy that treatment.
One of her little entertainments after tying the knot was to see her husband being assertive; that was why he could not hold himself back against such temptations.
However, he was oblivious of his wife‘s little ploy.
After the long and deep night came the morning.
The sunlight streamed upon a girl‘s beautiful face in the other room and woke her up. The first thing Sophia did after opening her eyes was to look at the man next to her.
Little did she know that he had been watching her the whole time with a smile while propping himself sideways with his arms supporting his head.
“Naughty girl.” The endearment escaped his sexy lips.
Embarrassed, she covered her face with the blanket. “No, I‘m not.”
“Well, you‘re right considering how many times you said ‘stop‘ last night.” Arthur pulled her leg when he could.
Her face turned crimson as she dared not recall what had happened last night. Everything felt so real since she was now sober, but she would never regret it.
It was then that his arm wrapped around her body gently and he whispered sweet nothings into her ear, “I‘ll take responsibility for you for the rest of your life.”
She turned her head to meet at his determined gaze before smiling. “You don‘t have to be responsible for what happened last night.”
Arthur was baffled for a moment before staring at her nervously. “Sophia, what do you mean by that? Was last night merely a game to you?”
She blinked her beady eyes. “Can we not think about the future just yet? Let‘s focus on the present and cherish it. I‘m satisfied as long as you‘re by my side.”
It was because she dared not think of the future, which scared her.
However, he was disheartened as he felt himself being played with; Sophia‘s cool manner had hurt him.
“I‘m going to the bathroom for a while,” she said before getting out of bed.
He removed the blanket to get out of the bed too, but his eyes were fixated onto the red stain on the bed. It tightened his heart and the strong resolution to take care of her surged in him.
