Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Caught in the Act

Cecilia Vaughn never imagined she’d be so bold, rummaging through these things in the cloakroom like a thief.

But ever since she returned from the Temple of the Matchmaker, some thoughts, once they emerged, became unstoppable.

She and Adrian Law have been married for so long, yet because of the incident with Young Master Trent three years ago, she has always had a mental block, unable to accept doing that with any man.

However, Adrian Law is different; he’s a special presence.

He’s her husband...

The most important thing is, he loves her, and she... deeply loves this man too.

Cecilia bit her lip, striving to conquer the fear within her heart, and pulled out the light, thin, red garment.

As soon as she took it out, her face turned impossibly red.

Cecilia was very conflicted; should she really wear this to give Adrian Law a "surprise"?

Why does it feel more like a fright to her?

Moreover... as a woman, taking the initiative to do such things, would men find it a bit too forward?

...

Ah, she’s going crazy!

As a complete novice, Cecilia’s heart felt like it was swinging in two buckets, restless and uneasy. She hesitantly poked her own head, even considering whether to ask Mona Summers for her opinion.

Before dialing, however, footsteps echoed from the corridor.

Cecilia was so startled that she trembled and dropped the provocative garment onto the floor.

Just when she was fumbling nervously to pick it up and throw it into the cabinet, a tall figure had already approached her.

"Cecilia, what are you doing?"

Adrian Law looked at Cecilia in surprise, and when he noticed the familiar red garment by Cecilia’s feet, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Cecilia now lacked the courage to look at him, flushing instantly, unable to raise her head and only managing a weak smile.

"Oh, I found the clothes at home in a bit of a mess today, I’m tidying them up. Adrian, you should go out, girls are better suited for organizing clothes, ah... haha..."

Cecilia laughed awkwardly, her voice was incredibly stiff. For the first time, she realized she was acting like a turtle, totally losing her earlier thoughts!

Forget about seducing Adrian Law, she didn’t even have the courage to let him see the garment!

It’s too embarrassing!

Oh heavens, why isn’t there a hole for her to crawl into!

...

Just as Cecilia wanted to evade, Adrian Law directly lifted the red garment, which was so thin and transparent.

"Cecilia, why is your face so red?"

Adrian Law stared intensely at Cecilia, his expression undeterred, as if he was holding an ordinary piece of clothing instead of that item.

Cecilia was extremely nervous, inwardly grimacing, she raised her head barely containing laughter.

"Is it? Maybe the weather is just too hot today."

"The weather forecast says a cold air is coming, temperatures are dropping by ten degrees."

His voice was calm, his dark eyes fixed on Cecilia, deliberately leaning close to her ear, his masculine breath tickling Cecilia’s most sensitive spot, sending sparks through her.

Having her lie caught directly, Cecilia bit her lip, utterly clueless on how to respond, legs weakening nearly collapsing into the wardrobe.

Yet Adrian Law quickly caught her waist in time.

"Cecilia, are you deliberately teasing me?"

His large hands were strong and warm, with a scorching heat that felt like it could directly print onto Cecilia’s body.

...

Teasing him?

Hearing this word, Cecilia’s mind exploded!

"I... I..."

Her lips moved several times but she couldn’t utter a single coherent word.

"Shh— Good girl, Cecilia, there’s no need to say anything. I already know."

Adrian Law chuckled lowly, his slender fingers gently tracing Cecilia’s lips.

Such a simple action, yet executed by Adrian Law, seemed to carry a hint of sensuality.

"What... what do you know?"

Cecilia’s face turned crimson all the way to her ears, her lips felt numb, the man’s touch still lingering on them.

Doomed!

Why does she feel the situation is spiraling in the wrong direction?

...

Cecilia wanted to ask further, but Adrian Law simply smiled and used his actions to reveal the answer!

"Cecilia, give it to me!"

Upon hearing this, Cecilia’s pupils enlarged to the extreme!

Her lips parted slightly, failing to articulate even a single word as Adrian’s lips directly claimed hers!

Adrian Law had never been so eager before!

He tightly embraced Cecilia, his scorching kisses marking her face, neck, lingering over Cecilia’s collarbone.

He suckled hard, gently biting, with such precision that Cecilia gasped, involuntarily pinching her palm for fear of making any sound she shouldn’t.

Adrian Law saw this and smiled with dark amusement, deliberately biting hard on her collarbone.

"Mm, uh..."

Cecilia gasped sharply, the soft whimpering sound shocking even herself!

Had she really made such a sultry sound?

Oh, heavens, she can’t face anyone now!

Cecilia felt incredibly ashamed, instantly glaring at Adrian Law.

What a bad man!

Adrian Law’s smile continued to widen, and taking advantage of Cecilia’s distraction, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pressing Cecilia onto the sofa!

"Ah, Adrian, you—"

Cecilia cried out in surprise, feeling the man’s large hand exploring inside her bodice!

The heat from Adrian Law’s hand was overwhelming, impossible to ignore!

The skin was electrified, a buzzing sensation rising!

Cecilia’s mind was spinning until her body suddenly felt a chill, her clothes having been unzipped by Adrian Law—

Compared to the girl’s disheveled hair, the man was impeccably dressed, his large hand firmly clutching Cecilia’s waist, voice carrying some sly humor.

His lips were hotter than his hands, like flames, conquering Cecilia’s lips and teeth, relentlessly plundering the fragrance and sweetness from within her mouth.

"Cecilia, do you like it when I kiss you like this?"

"..."

This rogue still dares to ask!

Cecilia’s face burned, her heart race uncontrollable, unable to help but close her eyes tightly, afraid to look.

Nevertheless, Adrian Law gently cradled Cecilia’s face with his hands, pressing her delicate body tightly against his robust physique.

"Cecilia, if you don’t look at me, I’ll keep kissing until you open your eyes!"

The man clearly meant what he said, his hands roamed over Cecilia’s body, igniting sparks, his lips sucked eagerly, wandering below Cecilia’s collarbone.

"Oh, you—"

Cecilia startled, opening her eyes, suddenly meeting the man’s deep eyes darker than ink!

"Cecilia, I want you—"

This time, I won’t let you have the chance to escape!
