Chapter 72: A Mouse Caught In A Lion’s Den
Kathlyn hesitated for a moment, her eyes darting away for a fleeting moment before locking onto Kourtney’s gaze.
A bitter laugh escaped her lips, devoid of any humor. “Oh, you really don’t know, do you? You have no clue about the pain you’ve caused me, the opportunities you’ve stolen from me. But one day, the world will see you for who you truly are, and then you’ll understand why I can’t stand the sight of you.”
Kourtney’s brow furrowed in confusion. “What are you talking about, Kathlyn? What do you mean by that? What are you hiding?” Her voice quivered, betraying her inner turmoil as she tried to make sense of Kathlyn’s remarks.
Her mind raced, trying to piece together the puzzle of her sister’s cryptic words.
But Kathlyn remained stoic, her resolve unyielding. “Oh, not now, Sister! But you’ll find out soon enough. But for now, just know that I have my reasons for despising you.”
With a final glare, she turned on her heel and strode towards the door, leaving Kourtney standing there, perplexed.
The tension in the mansion was real as Kathlyn reentered the grand living room. Margaret and Luke rushed towards her, their faces etched with relief and concern. “Where have you been, Kathlyn? We were so worried!” Margaret exclaimed, her voice tinged with anxiety.
Kathlyn offered them a tight-lipped smile, her mask firmly in place. “I just needed some fresh air, Mum, that’s all. No need to worry.” She brushed off their concerns, her gaze sweeping across the room until it landed back on Kourtney, who had also returned to the living room.
Kourtney stood at a distance, her eyes filled with apprehension and curiosity. Their gazes locked for a fleeting moment, a silent battle of wills passing between them.
Kathlyn’s eyes held a fierce and intimidating resolve, a promise of revelations yet to come.
She couldn’t tell Kourtney the reason just yet for fear of the consequences.
But one day, she was going to reveal to the world what Kourtney really is…..
Meanwhile, Kourtney couldn’t help but feel a flicker of unease creeping into her heart.
She kept wondering about what Kathlyn was blabbing about but tried as much as possible to not let it get into her head. *********** And so, as the sun set on the grand estate, casting long shadows over the opulent halls and corridors, Kourtney found herself alone with Sebastian, her husband, her captor, her tormentor in their bedroom after a long-ass day.
“Well then… start undressing!” Sebastian’s impatient voice rang out as he rose from the bedside couch, throwing aside the Forbes business magazine he had been reading. “Remember our deal!”
Kourtney panicked, pausing in her steps. She looked frightened, like a mouse caught in a lion’s den.
She had just walked in after a long day spent cooking and doing all sorts to please her family, who came unnoticed. The funny part is that she had almost forgotten about their deal. And his voice caught her off guard, unaware that the lewd man was already waiting for her.
Meanwhile, Sebastian’s eyes sparkled with triumph as he watched Kourtney’s cute and flustered reaction.
Right now, she looked like a scared little kitten, and he chuckled, finding her adorable. He loved how she was always so shy and innocent. Others would probably call it “naive,” but it turned him on even more. It always amused him to see her squirm under his gaze.
“Uhmm. Why are you so impatient? I just got here!” Kourtney complained, squaring her shoulders.
She could already feel Sebastian’s hungry eyes boring into her, undressing and stripping away her defenses with each passing second.
“Well… I don’t have all the time in the world.”
Unwilling to waste more time, he stripped down to just his briefs in swift and powerful movements, revealing his toned physique.
Kourtney’s eyes widened in surprise at his level of impatience, her cheeks flaming with color.
Sebastian flashed her a wicked grin before striding towards the bathroom. “I’m expecting you in here in 5!” he called over his shoulder, his voice teasing. He knew he had her exactly where he wanted her.
As soon as he closed the door behind him, Kourtney felt a rush of panic wash over her. What had she gotten herself into? This man!
She couldn’t believe she had agreed to this absurd arrangement. But she knew she had no choice but to follow through with their agreement, no matter how ridiculous it seemed.
Taking a deep breath, she started to unbutton her blouse, all the while shooting the bathroom door a glare that could have frozen hell over.
“This is ridiculous,” she muttered under her breath, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
Rolling her eyes, she continued to undress, feeling a strange mix of anger and attraction towards her enigmatic husband. She couldn’t deny the pull he had over her, even when he was being infuriatingly cocky.
Each piece of fabric that fell to the floor felt like a surrender, and she hated it.
She hated how he made her feel so vulnerable, so exposed.
Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Kourtney forced herself to step forward, her feet feeling like tons of heavy metal as she made her way to the bathroom.
She found herself standing in front of the door, her heart pounding in her chest. She could hear the sound of the shower running, steam billowing out from under the door in soft tendrils. With a shaky hand, she reached for the handle and pushed it open.
The sight that greeted her took her breath away.
Sebastian stood completely nude under the spray of water, his chiseled body glistening with droplets, steam rising around him like a blanket.
Even from the back, his physique was a work of art, each muscle defined and sculpted, drawing her gaze in a way she couldn’t resist.
He turned to look at her, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
“Took you long enough.”
Kourtney felt her legs go weak at the husky tone of the man.
She remained glued to the ground where she stood, unable to tear her eyes away from Sebastian’s naked form, his alpha male presence radiating from every inch of his being.
And his…..
Her emerald-green eyes traveled lower and were met with his protruding member, proudly on display in its full glory.
It was the first time she had seen him so clearly in this state of undress, and the size of him under the bright bathroom lights seemed even more scary and imposing.
“It looks even bigger now!” she thought, a mix of awe and apprehension flooding her senses.
She pondered how the man just seemed to have it all. He was simply too perfect!
His arms were solid, his stomach flat with his 6-packs evidently refined, his buttocks firm, his calves and thighs muscled and toned to the fullest, and then, his big cock stood rigidly forward.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Isn’t this too much for just one man?” she questioned herself, her cheeks flushing with more redness.
For some reason, she felt a bizarre sense of excitement when she saw her aroused husband nude.
That she was the main reason for this erotic metamorphosis was thrilling enough.
Meanwhile, Sebastian’s gaze locked with hers, a knowing glint in his eyes.
As he saw her eyes widen, the flush creeping up her cheeks, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of primal satisfaction.
“You like what you see, uh?” he purred, a smirk playing on his lips as he stepped closer, the steam from the shower enveloping them in a veil of intimacy. “Now, are going to come in, or should I come to get you?”
Kourtney could only blink shyly, blushing harder than usual. It was the first time she’d be bathing with a man, and she couldn’t shake off the nervous flutter in her stomach.
Her gaze kept flickering between his piercing eyes and the tantalizing sight before her.
The man’s presence loomed so large, his silhouette so big and muscular, threatening to crush her.
This man… he’s dangerous.
But there’s a part of her that craves that danger, that heat, making her body hum with both fear and longing.
Like a kitten, she timidly stepped fully into the bathroom and then proceeded to go under the shower.
Her eyes were closed as the warm water started cascading over her skin, but she could clearly feel Sebastian’s gaze on her like a physical caress. At this moment, it wasn’t the heavy shower drizzle that made her gasp for air- it was the thought that he was staring so hungrily at her naked body…..
