Giselle was still a little stunned.
For a moment, it felt as though she had escaped hell. The man before her almost seemed like an ordinary human being. However, the screams of a woman being violated in a nearby room snapped her back to reality.
After bandaging her elbow, Orin straightened up and gazed at her. Without a word, he lifted his hand and caressed her pale neck, his rough fingers tracing down to her collarbone.
Feeling his touch inching closer and closer, Giselle no longer felt much shame. She let his hand wander and locked eyes. Then, caught up in the heat of the moment, she tore open her buttons, bared herself in front of him, and reached back to unclasp her bra before tossing it aside.
Faced with her bold invitation, the chill in his gaze gave way to a rising fire, and his hand reached for her.
Giselle cast aside all restraint, giving herself to him completely. Eventually, she rose to her feet, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her lips to his.
Before she could take it further, he abruptly pushed her away and turned aside with a heavy look. Giselle was confused. "What's wrong? Don't you want to do it with me?"
"Two days from now, I'll take you back to the hospital for another checkup," he responded coldly.
