Chapter 304
Orion scooped her up into his arms and headed to the bathroom, his actions clearly stating, “Xannie needs a hot shower, or shell catch a cold,”
“Okay”
Xanthea nodded obediently. It wasn’t until he walked into the bathroom shut the door with a heavy “click,” that she heard the door click shut behind them. That’s when she realized something seemed off.
Wait, why did he close the door?
He hadn’t left yet!
Was he planning to shower with her? A shared shower? That was way too much! So, this is what he meant by he mentioned getting her
wet
Xanthea’s face flushed instantly with embarrassment, her heart racing wildly as she felt incredibly shy. “Orion, isn’t this a bit too fast for
She had just sorted out her feelings for him, and now…
Orion was adjusting the water temperature, frowning in confusion as he looked at her, “What’s too fast?”
“Well, just,” she stammered, too embarrassed to even lift her head, her voice barely a whisper, ‘showering together”
The man chuckled, a charming smile playing on his lips. He leaned in close to her ear, “So, you want to shower with me?”
Huh?
He didnt mean that?
“I didn’t mean that at all!”
Xanthea quickly lifted her head, her eyes wide and cheeks burning red. As she spoke, she pushed him out of the bathroom, “You can go out. I can adjust the water temperature myself!”
“Xannie”
At the doorway, his large hand suddenly gripped the handle, his eyes filled with intense longing, which startled Xanthea
She didn’t mean that?
“Don’t shower for too long. You might feel dizzy
“Okay”
The bathroom door slowly closed, hiding the sight of the girl with her wet hair clinging to delicate curves, like a flamboyant flower ravaged by a storm Orion’s hand tightened around the cold metal doorknob.
He wanted, wanted so badly to join her in that “shower,” but he feared it might be too much for her, especially since she was still recovering from her cold.
“Hey, boss? Cedric suddenly received a call from Orion, “Do you need something?”
“Prepare a set of clothes for Xannie,”
“Got it, right away!”
“And,” Orion glanced outside at the darkening sky, “bring a hot caramel macchiato with sea salt foam, extra cream
Cedric paused, then nodded, “Understood!”
The boss had to be one of the few men who knew so much about coffee orders, night? No, more like he knew Ms. Nightshade so well, even her coffee preferences were clear to him. It was almost terrifying!
The storm continued unabated, with clouds like a net covering the sky, blocking out the sun entirely. But inside, the man’s heart was clear and sunny.
Listening to the rain hitting the window, harmonizing with the sound of water in the bathroom. He savored the sweetness and pleasure of kissing the girl just moments ago, his heart pounding in his chest.
Xannie was his now.
From now on, every moming, every lunch, every night, he could see her, hold her, kiss her, and even..
The star he had wished upon for years was finally within his reach
It felt like a dream, so wonderfully urineal.
He turned on all the lights in the office, as if making it brighter and brighter would make it more real, more tangible.
