Chapter 23

While stroking himself, Adrian slowly gazed at Vivian’s face, her softly rounded br*asts, her slender waist that flinched with tension, and the area between her legs hidden beneath the sheets. Under Adrian’s gaze, Vivian’s n*pples perked up again. Staring at them as if he wanted to lick them, Adrian gripped himself harder.

His hand moved faster and faster, up and down, and his member throbbed as if it might burst at any moment, but release didn’t come easily.

“Haa, hng….”

Moans mixed with heat filled the air, and Adrian’s green eyes grew darker as he stared at Vivian and licked his lips. Vivian, as if mesmerized, watched his lips part and heard him speak her name.

“…Vivi, touch me.”

“…Hii!”

Startled by the sound she made without meaning to, Vivian quickly covered her mouth. Her eyes darted around, landing on Adrian’s hand, where his member leaked clear fluid.

“Touch me, I don’t want to finish alone….”

At Adrian’s plea, Vivian hesitantly reached out. As soon as her hand wrapped around the flushed tip, Adrian let out a rough moan and released himself. It soaked not only his own hand but also Vivian’s hand, and only then did Adrian stretch contentedly. He immediately began bustling about, saying he would wash Vivian.

Vivian, suspicious of his offer, insisted on washing herself, but Adrian, with an innocent face, assured her he had no ulterior motives.

“Today, I’ll do only what you want. Okay? You can trust me, Vivi.”

Vivian realized once again that she was weak to Adrian’s face. When he begged her with that sparkling expression, she couldn’t help but give in.

“Really? O-okay, but you’re really not going to do anything today. …My back hurts so much.”

“Of course. I’ll just help you wash, really. And after, should I give you a massage?”

At her hesitant answer, Adrian smiled brightly and offered to give her a massage. At that smile, Vivian hesitated again, then nodded. She had always been weak to Adrian’s smiling face.

Carried by Adrian to the bathroom, Vivian relaxed in the warm water. She couldn’t help but let out soft groans, but Adrian, true to his promise, focused only on washing her without any mischief.

He gathered her long hair and washed it, lathered a towel and gently scrubbed her body, all with a simple touch. Thanks to that, Vivian could simply let herself go in Adrian’s care.

Adrian, worried she might be hungry, even brought simple foods she could eat easily. Vivian filled herself with light soup and other dishes that wouldn’t upset her stomach in the warm water. It had been so long since she’d enjoyed such comfort and luxury, and Vivian’s trust in Adrian grew.

“Vivi, shall we go out now?”

“Mm.”

Vivian, wrapped in a bathrobe, was carried by Adrian back to the bed. At some point, the sheets had been changed to fresh, crisp ones again. The first time she realized the maids changed the bedding after every night they spent together, she was so embarrassed she couldn’t even look at them, but after a month, she’d gotten used to it. Still, changing the sheets almost every day was embarrassing.

“This is nice.”

Buried deep in bedding that smelled of sunshine, Vivian felt Adrian gently patting and drying her hair. Receiving his careful attention, she lay face down and, before she knew it, drifted off to sleep.

“…Mmm.”

“Are you awake, Vivi?”

Vivian opened her eyes again because of the hands pressing firmly on her back. At some point, her hair had dried, and Adrian seemed to be giving her the promised massage.

“Mm, Eddie….”

Adrian’s large hands moved up to her shoulders and kneaded them softly, making Vivian let out a faint moan.

“Your shoulders are really tense, Vivi. Relax and leave it to me.”

“Mm.”

His fingers, warm with body heat, moved along her neck and shoulders, loosening the tight muscles. Sometimes it hurt, but the relief was greater, so Vivian surrendered herself to Adrian’s hands.

After working on her shoulders, Adrian had Vivian raise both arms above her head. Then, he slowly slid his hands down her back. Moving both hands together and pressing with his palms, his fingers reached her sides and lightly brushed her br*ast.

“Mm?”

Vivian felt something odd and briefly suspected him, but when his hands moved down innocently, she let go of her suspicion. His hands were so big they covered her whole back and more.

His palms swept down to her slim waist and then moved back up. He pressed under her shoulder blades to loosen the muscles, and as his hands gently massaged, his fingers brushed her chest again, but Vivian stayed still.

“Does it feel good, Vivi?”

“Haa, mm.”

Vivian completely relaxed under Adrian’s hands. Even when his large hands gripped her bottom, she didn’t mind, thinking it was part of the massage. She was totally at ease until his hands parted her cheeks.

“Eddie!”

His thumb slipped between her bottom, softly rubbing the plump flesh. Vivian tried to twist and sit up, but with Adrian holding her lower body, she couldn’t move.

“You said you wouldn’t do anything today!”

“Yeah, I’m not trying to do anything.”

“T-then what’s with your hand?”

Adrian looked as if he had no intention at all, but his hand still wandered between Vivian’s thighs. After last night and the hot bath that morning, Vivian’s lower body was relaxed. She squeezed her thighs tightly, worried his fingers might slip in.

“Well, that’s a precious place that’s worked hard to hold me, right? Of course I should take good care of it.”

“I-it doesn’t need that!”

“Hm. Vivi, don’t you trust me? I really am just giving you a massage.”

Adrian used his other hand to gently stroke Vivian’s waist. Under his touch, her thighs twitched and parted slightly. Adrian slid his other hand into the small gap and spread her thighs.

“I promised, didn’t I? I won’t do anything today.”

Adrian kneaded the trembling flesh inside her thighs. Vivian let out a moan and collapsed forward again. Her shaking waist stirred the man’s desire, but Adrian focused only on the massage as promised.

His hands squeezed and released her plump thighs, gradually moving higher and stimulating between her legs again. His touch was slow and simple, just like a massage.

Vivian couldn’t do anything but slump down. It seemed Adrian really wasn’t going to try anything, so she started to relax, but the way he touched her made her sensitive there, and her attention was drawn to it. No matter how reflexive her body’s reaction, Adrian seemed completely unconcerned, while she was the only one getting flustered.
