A deep, husky voice appeared next to her ear.

"Cecilia, you’re truly beautiful. Are you sure you want to keep your eyes closed?"

Cecilia Vaughn heard his teasing words, and couldn’t help but feel extremely shy. Her whole body felt as if it were on fire, and the blood in her limbs started to boil.

"If you insist on keeping them closed, I’ll just go get a silk cloth and blindfold you."

Blindfold play?

This is too outrageous...

"No..."

Just imagining it made Cecilia feel weak. She quickly opened her beautiful eyes, tugging on the man’s arm. In just an instant, she met his eyes, full of laughter.

"You’re teasing me—"

Cecilia felt wronged, while Adrian Law clasped her waist, intentionally pushing her forward to face the full-length mirror instead of having her back to it.

In an instant, their reflections appeared vividly in the mirror.

Knowing and witnessing something first-hand are two different things.

Boom—

Cecilia’s head exploded. Her cheeks flushed pink, and her entire body felt like it was being electrified.

"Adrian, can’t you have a bit of shame?"

"Mrs. Law, why would I need that with you around? Or do you want to be a lonely widow, hm?"

Adrian chuckled lowly, instinctively reaching out to play with Cecilia’s hair. Over the years, Cecilia took great care by eating black sesame seeds, never curling or coloring her hair. Her long hair draped over her shoulders with such quality that Adrian was slightly obsessed.

"Smells good."

The man buried his handsome face against Cecilia’s delicate neck, taking a deep sniff, which made Cecilia blush even more.

"That’s just the scent of the shampoo."

Cecilia retorted, embarrassed and annoyed.

But Adrian’s eyes were full of tenderness. His deep gaze gradually turned intense. He leaned close to Cecilia’s already flushed ear, deliberately blowing softly into it.

"We use the same shampoo, yet how come yours smells better? Cecilia, are you a natural enchantress sent to allure me?"

"You... you’re talking nonsense..."

Being looked at by the man with such blazing eyes made Cecilia anxious. She wanted to appear calm, but the blushing girl in the mirror betrayed her.

"Cecilia, let me have a closer look, alright?"

They were already in front of the mirror. What else was there to look at?

Cecilia looked helplessly at Adrian, truly clueless about what other tricks he was up to.

Until Adrian suddenly pulled her into his arms, making Cecilia yelp in surprise, and cradle her on his lap like a baby.

"Hey, what are you doing..."

His eyes deepened as he tried to gently part Cecilia’s tightly closed legs.

"Relax a bit, how can I be fine with you like this?"

Oh dear, his meaning is...

Cecilia gasped, drawing in a sharp breath. The full-length mirror already captured every detail, yet Adrian’s request was pushing it too far.

Cecilia, no matter what, refused to comply.

"Don’t you dare! I won’t allow it!"

Cecilia gritted her teeth, glaring at him with a mix of anger and shame, completely baffled at how Adrian became this skillful with no guidance.

Anyway, she truly conceded!

Whatever dignified and unattainable ice-cold beauty he was supposed to be is probably one of those man-eating poppy flowers!

"Mrs. Law, why would you think I won’t dare?"

A smile of determination flashed in Adrian’s eyes. He intentionally held her firmly, their bodies pressing closely together. Drawing the fragrance from her lips, his kisses grew increasingly fierce, almost as if they were some unspeakable punishment.

"Mmph..."

The man’s domineering presence was always so vividly apparent.

Cecilia’s face was already the color of peach blossoms as the two faced one another intimately. She dared not look at their reflection in the mirror, but Adrian’s phoenix eyes had fully captured the scene.

Cecilia’s rationale felt like a house overwhelmed by a flood, quickly nearing collapse.

The current surged, layer upon layer, constantly flooding through her limbs.

Ultimately, it transformed into some sort of soul-losing signal.

Cecilia clenched her fingers tightly, trying not to make any odd noises with her mouth.

Yet she failed.

Because Adrian was just too overwhelming. He seemed like a heat-conducting stove, and Cecilia really didn’t know how much self-control she needed to ignore the strange sensation this man caused.

"Be good, let me have just one look, okay?"

Adrian chuckled lowly again. It seemed like a sincere tone but with a discernible hint of mischief in Cecilia’s ears.

He was definitely toying with her!

Even at a time like this...

Cecilia’s whole body turned stiff. Whether it was the man’s strong back like a mountain, or the breath brushing against her lips and teeth, it made Cecilia somewhat lose her mind.

This man... he’s just too bad...

Cecilia’s hands clung to his back. Eventually, she just scratched his skin hard with her nails.

In an instant, leaving bloody lines.

"Cecilia, do you want to leave more of your mark on me? Hmm, good idea. Then you don’t have to feel embarrassed; I understand you."

"..."

Cecilia wordlessly twitched her lips.

In the instant she lost her mind, she suddenly felt his hand unexpectedly slide over her leg.

Cecilia barely had the strength to resist his advances, but Adrian’s surprise attack was too infuriating!

He... he saw...

"You shameless—"

She punched Adrian in a fit of shame and fury, but he only deepened his smile, whispering soothingly in her ear.

"Cecilia, dear, beautiful things are meant to be admired, though exclusively by me."

His cello-like deep voice was almost capable of overturning all beings.

The man’s audacity was simply unparalleled.

Cecilia felt it pointless to hit him and lowered her arms in frustration, while Adrian’s lips curved in an accomplished smile, continuously brushing against her cheek.

Like a dragonfly skimming water, he planted tender kisses over her brows, nose tip, and chin.

Seeing Cecilia’s displeasure, Adrian chuckled as he lifted her up, placing her on a large red quilt adorned with mandarin ducks.

"Cecilia, if you’re not satisfied, why don’t we have one last time?"

Cecilia’s face suddenly turned red.

"Go away, believing you makes me a fool!"

Back in Starfall Bay, Cecilia already knew Adrian’s words were usually reliable, but at times like this...

The so-called "one last time" often lasted until she couldn’t even move her fingers. She wasn’t going to fall for it!

...

"Hmm, makes sense, then Cecilia must be the prettiest fool in the world..."

Adrian smiled deeply, seeming very proud as he nodded, then his long, distinct fingers swiftly pinned the girl’s wrists!

"Hey, you—"

The next second, his lips descended swiftly, drowning all of her screams...
