Chapter 15 #2
“Ah!” His teeth sank into the sensitive peak he had been teasing, a sharp contrast to the warm, wet heat of his mouth.
A cry escaped her lips, muffled by the silk at her throat, the pressure there intensifying the fire igniting inside her.
The realization that he held her captive in this moment sent another wave of heat coursing through her trembling core.
His hand descended like a predator down her ribs, over the curve of her hip, fingers seeking the source of her aching need. One digit circled her entrance, teasingly spreading the evidence of her arousal without fully claiming her.
With a swift motion, he positioned himself between her spread thighs.
His rod plunged inside her, sliding in deep enough to find that sweet spot, while his thumb pressed against her center in relentless circles.
The dual sensations—restraint and pleasure—collided violently, sending her spiraling toward the edge.
“Ah! Hahhhh… Ahhhh” Elise cried, her back arching off the table as the world blurred around her.
Xavier drove her higher, coaxing her release with a fervor that left her gasping. Each thrust of his shaft ignited her senses, and just as she felt the tide rising, he pushed deeper, demanding more.
“Xavier… Mmmhh…” The climax crashed over her as she screamed his name, the sound tearing from her throat in broken gasps. He held her through it, relentless, until she lay quivering beneath him, the silk bindings the only tether keeping her from drifting away entirely.
In one swift movement, he lifted her from the table, their bodies slick with sweat, and turned her around. Her upper body pressed flat against the cool wooden surface, the chill contrasting sharply with the heat radiating from her skin.
He gripped her hips tightly, positioning himself behind her as he reentered her with a fierce intensity that made her gasp. Each powerful thrust sent shockwaves through her body, driving her closer to another climax.
Through the window, snow continued to fall, blanketing the world outside, while the warm glow from the lamp flickered against her flushed face.
“God, you feel so good,” he growled, his voice low and rough, punctuating each word with relentless thrusts. The pressure built within her again, spiraling tighter as he urged her on.
“Cum, Elise.”
She whimpered, sounds spilling from her lips as he pounded into her snug warmth.
With one final, deep thrust, he found his release, filling her completely, and just as she teetered on the edge, the waves of her second orgasm crashed over her.
Her body trembled, gasping and whimpering as pleasure overwhelmed her senses. The delicate balance of pain and ecstasy blurred, and he held her steady against the table, their breaths mingling in the charged air.
Through the window behind the study table, she caught sight of the snow falling even harder now, thick white flakes drifting silently through the night.
The warm glow of the desk lamp flickered across the glass, casting soft golden light over her flushed face as the world outside remained eerily still.
***
It was early morning at the Chen mansion when Elise walked down the grand staircase, dressed and ready for the day ahead.
The scent of freshly prepared breakfast filled the air, drifting from the dining area and blending with the quiet elegance of the mansion.
Unlike her usual comfortable clothes at home, Elise was dressed in a polished office outfit—a fitted blouse tucked neatly into a skirt, paired with a tailored jacket that rested perfectly over her shoulders.
The white blouse had a delicate V-neckline, while the jacket, with its subtle embroidery, gave the outfit a refined yet feminine touch.
It was professional without appearing overly formal, perfectly suited for someone who wanted to look elegant without drawing unnecessary attention.
Her hair was tied back neatly, leaving her face open, and the soft sound of her heels echoed against the marble floor as she descended the stairs.
As she reached the dining area, her steps slowed.
The table was already prepared, but it was empty. There was no sign of Xavier.
Her gaze moved around the room before shifting toward the kitchen.
"Layla?" she called.
A moment later, the housekeeper hurried out, her expression slightly rushed as she approached.
"Where is Xavier?" Elise asked, glancing toward the untouched place at the table. "Did he already have breakfast?"
Layla nodded quickly, still catching her breath from hurrying over.
"Yes, ma'am. Mr. Chen already ate."
She paused before adding, "He said he was waiting for you in the car."
Elise was slightly surprised.
"He is waiting?"
Layla nodded.
"Yes. Would you like to have breakfast before leaving?"
Elise glanced back at the beautifully arranged table for a brief moment, then toward the entrance where Xavier was waiting.
She glanced down at the watch on her wrist and immediately realized how much time had passed. She had spent longer than expected getting ready, and if she stopped for breakfast now, she would only make herself late.
Shaking her head slightly, she looked back at Layla.
"Layla, could you please pack some breakfast and have the driver send it to the office?" she asked. "I'm running late."
"Of course, ma'am," Layla replied immediately.
The housekeeper turned and hurried back into the kitchen to arrange everything, leaving Elise standing near the dining area.
Before Elise could move, another set of footsteps echoed through the mansion.
She turned her head and saw Astrid walking out from the guest room.
Unlike Elise's formal office attire, Astrid’s style was more relaxed yet effortlessly elegant.
She wore a soft cream silk blouse tucked into high-waisted tailored trousers, the delicate fabric flowing naturally against her figure.
A fitted cashmere cardigan rested over her shoulders, adding a touch of warmth without taking away from the sophistication of her outfit.
Her pointed designer heels and delicate jewelry completed the look, giving her a refined elegance without making her appear overly formal.
Even in seemingly simple clothes, the luxurious fabric, flawless tailoring, and subtle details made it obvious that nothing Astrid wore was ordinary.
She looked comfortable and approachable, yet there was still an undeniable elegance about her, the kind that came naturally from someone who had grown up surrounded by luxury.
"Let's go," Astrid said with a smile.
Elise smiled back and nodded.
Together, they walked through the mansion and toward the entrance, where the car was already waiting for them. The morning air was cool, and the quiet driveway of the Chen mansion was still untouched by the rush of the day.
Elise stepped outside first.
The driver immediately moved forward and opened the door for her.
As she approached the car, she noticed Xavier was already seated inside, waiting.
The door on his side was open, allowing her to see him clearly.
Even this early in the morning, he looked completely composed.
His dark hair was neatly styled, his posture straight and effortless, and there was a natural confidence in the way he sat that made him appear untouchable.
Xavier had always carried himself like someone who belonged wherever he was, with an intimidating presence that made people instinctively pay attention.
Before Elise could step into the car, Benjamin quickly walked over to her.
A wide smile was hidden on his face, and there was an almost excited look in his eyes as he leaned slightly closer, lowering his voice as though he was sharing an important secret.
"Miss Foster," he said, unable to completely hide his happiness, "Mr. Chen specifically prepared this car for you."
Elise looked at him in surprise.
"Your favorite car," Benjamin continued, his smile growing. "He asked me to bring this one out instead of the usual car. He even told me to spray your favorite scent inside."
He gestured toward the interior.
"I adjusted your seat as well and added a few small pillows so you would be more comfortable during the drive. I thought it might be too much, but Mr. Chen specifically asked me to make sure everything was arranged according to your comfort."
Benjamin paused, then leaned a little closer, his expression becoming even more secretive.
"And, Miss Foster..." he added, lowering his voice further, "he also asked me to make lunch reservations."
Elise blinked.
"Lunch reservations?"
Benjamin nodded enthusiastically.
"For the two of you."
He looked almost pleased with himself as he continued,
“Mr. Chen wanted to spend the day with you. He wanted it to be a private date with you.”
Elise remained silent for a moment, absorbing his words.
Then, almost instinctively, her eyes shifted toward the car.
Xavier was already seated inside.
As though he had sensed her gaze, his eyes lifted and met hers for the briefest second. The moment their eyes connected, he seemed to realize Benjamin was telling her everything.
A faint flicker of embarrassment crossed his otherwise composed face.
Immediately, he turned his head away, his gaze moving toward the window as though suddenly finding the outside scenery far more interesting.
Elise walked closer to the car, her steps slowing slightly as she looked inside.
The moment her eyes fell on the seat, she stopped.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers rested there, carefully arranged in the place where she was supposed to sit. The arrangement was elegant, filled with flowers she loved—delicate lilies mixed with a colorful assortment that made the entire car feel warmer and more personal.
For a brief moment, she simply stared at it.
Then, as she moved closer, Xavier's gaze finally shifted toward her.
He had been waiting.
His eyes met hers, and there was an unmistakable expectation in them, as though he was silently inviting her to get inside and notice everything he had prepared. For once, he wasn't hiding his intention behind his usual cold expression.
But Elise only stood there for a moment.
