As soon as Lita walked to the bedside, a strong arm reached out, grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward. Lita lost her balance and fell on the man.
Lita gasped because of pain. 'This man's chest is as hard as a wall.' If it weren't for the clothes and the tie he wore, she felt she might have knocked her teeth out.
Another strong arm wrapped around her waist and trapped her in his arms.
"Alex, what are you doing?" Lita tried to get free in panic, but Alex tightened her grip on her.
"Be good! Let me hug you." Alex said in a drawl and sighed slightly, as if his suppressed heart somewhat got relaxed and he became languid.
The man's words seemed to cast a spell on Lita and she became docile and obedient all of a sudden. She was held in the man's arms and lay on his chest.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. It was incredibly wonderful! It was so sweet and intoxicating!
Perhaps, this was the taste of love people said.
But as the man's hand around her waist slowly moved up, reached her soft and full breast, and started to play with it gently, Lita snapped to reality from a beautiful dream.
'Am I crazy? I'm lying in the bed with this man, and cuddling him so intimately! How can I enjoy the man's hug so much? I must have been crazy! Alex is my husband's brother. How can have intimacy with him?" But how could she know that her husband's brother was her legal husband! "Alex, let me go!" Lita struggled.
"Be a good girl. Don't move!"
How could Lita not move? She didn't know that Alex was her legal husband. In her eyes, Alex was her husband's brother. How could she be so intimate with Alex?
"Alex, let me go... let me go. Don't do this... I am your... your..." Before Lita could finish her words, Alex
covered her mouth with his lips.
"Alex, please...please don't. We can't do this." Lita said sobbingly. She was struggling between sense and emotion, which made her very much in pain.
"Don't do what?" Alex enjoyed seeing the woman's struggle. At this moment, there was arrogance on his handsome face, because he clearly saw that the woman had just been intoxicated in his fierce kiss. What was lost was not only her sense, but also her heart.
"Alex, you can't do this...I am your..."
Before she could say the word "sister-in-law", her lips were sealed again by his. But this time, she felt the kiss was more gentle, and her heart melted.
"Alex, don't...open your mouth!" Lita panicked and her heart almost jumped to her mouth, because she felt clearly what was under her palm. The thing was swollen and was getting bigger and harder, which made her realize how dangerous she was. She almost wanted to cut off her own hand. It was really embarrassing for her.
"Don't worry. It's not convenient for you, so I can't do that." Alex exhaled deeply and suppressed his disappointment.
"But if you keep struggling, I won't mind satisfying my desire at the cost of bathing in blood." Alex snapped, and immediately made the woman stop moving.
Lita became silent and was obediently pressed against his chest. She listened to his heartbeat quietly, which was beating powerfully and regularly.
They both kept quiet without speaking. At this moment, silence meant more than words.
It was not until Alex was awakened by the ring of his mobile phone and leave, did Lita come to herself from her trance.
Thinking that she had fallen asleep in a man's arms just now, Lita was so ashamed that she almost wanted to slap herself. Was she going crazy? She slept in the same bed with her husband's brother and they cuddled together.
Lita covered her face with her hands tightly because of shame. She felt deeply guilty about her "husband" Ethan. She could not do this anymore. She had to draw a clear line with Alex, a devil-like man.
In fact, Lita didn't know that if Ethan really saw them sleeping together lovingly, he might be exhilarated. This was exactly the result he expected to see when he rushed Alex into getting married.
Ethan wanted to make sure there was a virtuous woman to take care of Alex after he died.
However, Lita didn't show her virtuousness to Alex, and she showed her aggressiveness and rebellion.
She fought against him with wisdom and courage, for example, on this matter about Chloe.
Today was Saturday, and Lita still hadn't got the opportunity to mention the invitation of dinner at Bishop family.
Lita thought, 'I am just a messenger. I just need to pass Uncle Jack's message to him. As for the investment of one billion dollars, Alex will make his own decision, as he isn't stupid. It has nothing to do with me.'
Either she liked it or not, she had to do it in the end. So she decided to cut the Gordian knot soon. She just needed to pass the message to him.
When she heard the sound of his car pull to a stop outside, she put down her thesis papers in her hand immediately and ran out of the guest room to meet him. Her plan was to pass the message to him the first second she saw him when her courage hadn't faded away.
However, when Lita came out of the living room, she stopped abruptly. It wasn't just Alex who walked to the house. He was accompanied by a pretty woman. She had her long hair tied up high into a bun, and a professional smile on her face made her look smart, adroit and intelligent.
Lita had met this woman once. She was the new CEO of Selmy Group, a foxy woman who had years of work experience at Wall Street. She was an Eurasian with both beauty and wisdom.
At this moment, she was holding a thick file bag in her arms and leaned against Alex's side. She looked like a perfect match for Alex.
Lita instinctively stepped aside and made way for them.
However, the woman did not go into the house. She was speaking in Spanish fluently to Alex, of which Lita didn't know a single word, then she hugged and pressed her face against Alex's...
