Bella boldly took a few steps closer. After looking down and clearly seeing his profile, she froze for a moment before she couldn't help but burst into a soft laugh.
"Ye Jinzhi?"
Although she couldn't figure out why, having just gone to the bathroom, she had suddenly appeared in a man's bedroom, the sight before her was simply too... delicious!
It was too thrilling!
Sensing someone approaching, the tips of the man's ears twitched imperceptibly.
Hearing Bella's light, brisk footsteps, his originally tight lips curled upward in a hidden smile.
The moment she drew near, that hint of a smile instantly vanished, and he reverted to the appearance of a captive being humiliated.
Bella first circled around him, staring at the throbbing veins on his neck. Two buttons of his shirt had popped open. Beneath the thin cotton fabric, the bulging lines of his latissimus dorsi could not be concealed, and his spinal groove dipped into a deep, alluring curve.
Like an overripe peach whose skin was about to burst, Bella's eyes darkened. "So ripe... It would be a real pity not to eat it right now."
Bella crouched down, extending a fingertip to provocatively lift his chin.
Ye Jinzhi slowly tilted his face up, following her movement.
What a strikingly impactful face.
Perhaps due to keeping his head bowed for so long, a thin layer of sweat had seeped out on his forehead.
A few damp strands of hair clung to his temples. Instead of making him look disheveled, they added a touch of messy, decadent beauty.
"Wow, what a beautiful presentation."
Forced to look up at Bella, his pitch-black eyes were already filled with a churning, dark intensity, and the corners of his eyes were even flushed with a faint red from his restraint.
Seeing him like this, Bella gently brushed her fingertip across the corner of Ye Jinzhi's eye, smiling casually:
"Look at those eyes... It makes you even more appetizing. Plus one to deliciousness."
Bella's eyes were full of teasing amusement. "What? Are you seducing me?"
Ye Jinzhi's Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably. His rapid breaths tangled around Bella's fingertips, shockingly hot.
He didn't struggle. Instead, as if offering himself as a sacrifice, he pressed his chin forward into her palm.
The man lifted his eyelids, revealing a wildness that looked ready to devour her whole, as if staring at his one and only prey:
"So... did I seduce you?"
Bella didn't answer him. She slowly straightened up, swept her gaze around the room, and finally landed on a chair a few steps away.
With gentle movements, she moved the chair in front of Ye Jinzhi and sat down gracefully.
Bella crossed her legs, leisurely sitting back.
She said nothing, merely maintaining her condescending posture, resting her chin in one hand, and sizing up the "trapped beast" before her with an unreadable expression.
With a bit of playfulness, and a sense of absolute control.
Ye Jinzhi felt her gaze from above. Not only did he not feel offended, but he actually trembled with excitement from the thrill of being watched by her.
Kneeling on the ground, he rubbed his knees gently against the floor and shuffled forward a couple of times.
He stopped in front of those long, fair calves, like a devout believer.
The next second, Ye Jinzhi slowly lowered his head, gently pressing his face against her knees.
He closed his eyes, his Adam's apple shifting slightly, and planted a slightly cool kiss on her knee.
"Don't look at me like that."
As his voice fell, he didn't stop there. His body pressed forward another inch.
His moist breath, like a silent spring rain, continuously spread upward along the curve of her knee, slowly devouring the last remaining space between them.
......
Bella intended to reach out and push his head away, but ended up failing completely.
An unknown amount of time later, Bella lay paralyzed in the chair, questioning her life choices.
With her hair messily scattered over the edge of the armrest, she blinked, looked at the crumpled fabric on the man's shoulders, and laughed in a good mood:
"Young Master, it's time to get up. Keeping your own hands locked behind your back all this time... aren't you tired?"
The man paused his movements and slowly stood up.
He turned his back to her. His shirt clung to his spine, the tight muscles of his lower back pressing a highly sexy curve through the fabric.
"Aren't you going to help, darling?"
"I have no energy," Bella replied lazily.
The man exerted a sudden force with his wrists, and with a sharp crack, the handcuffs snapped apart under his power.
Bella's gaze swept over his forearms, where veins bulged from the exertion. She could even imagine how the muscles instantly tensed beneath the thin shirt.
Her heart skipped a beat, thinking this man was about to do something even more outrageously bad.
The world spun around her, and Bella cried out in surprise.
The man pulled the young woman into his arms. His movements were rather gentle as he sank into the sofa, laying her flat against his chest.
She was like a treasure hidden in a giant beast's lair, unable to move. The mingling scent of his body wrapped around her tightly, leaving no room to breathe.
Ye Jinzhi kissed the top of her head, hoisted her up a bit more, and buried his face in the crook of her neck, still carrying a lingering trace of lust: "Are you happy, darling?"
Feeling the heartbeat coming from his chest beneath her, Bella deliberately pretended not to understand. Her fingertips casually played with the dangling button on his shirt as she teased back, "Happy about what?"
She lifted her eyelids, meeting his dark eyes perfectly, and clicked her tongue lightly. "You ruined my things, and you're asking me if I'm happy?"
Sensing the relaxation of the person in his arms, the man's mind flashed back to that piece of lace fabric, thinner than a breath, which was now lying lonely in the corner of the room, declaring the absurdity of what had just happened.
Hearing this, he let out a low chuckle. The vibration of his chest through the thin shirt carried a seductive charm:
"What, you miss it? Next time I'll take you..."
Realizing something, he changed his tune, "Wait, I'll compensate you for everything all at once later."
The image of the man personally picking it out flashed quickly through Bella's mind, and the tips of her ears instantly burned red.
She quickly shook her head, as if trying to toss the absurd image away. "No need, I'm not lacking in that... stuff."
But the man wouldn't let her off. His slightly cool fingertips brushed over her waistline seemingly by accident, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness:
"No need? Then are you planning to... just go bare like this?"
Bella simply closed her eyes and buried her face deeply into his chest, fully committing to refusing to cooperate.
She rubbed her cheek brazenly against him, and even gave him a little pinch while she was at it.
Feeling the little girl in his arms making those restless groping movements, Ye Jinzhi had no intention of letting it slide. His hand teased the skin at the lower edge of her waist, stubbornly circling back to the previous question.
"Darling... are you happy or not?"
Bella felt her heart soften and burn from his persistent teasing. In her embarrassment, she simply gave up trying to resist.
She suddenly lifted her head, her pretty face flushed red, and deliberately shouted back at the top of her lungs:
"Happy! Great! Comfortable! Thrilling! Is that enough for you, Young Master?!"
The string of blunt adjectives rang out loud and clear in the quiet room.
Listening to this rather heroic answer, the lingering dark intensity in the corners of the man's eyes was finally completely washed away, replaced by the lazy smile of someone who had gotten exactly what he wanted.
His well-defined fingers idly toyed with the loose strands of hair by her ear, his voice dropping as low as a lover's whisper.
"Such a sweet mouth... it seems you are truly satisfied."
