Chapter 69 Give It to Me
The night sky was so dark it resembled the finest black fabric in the world.
Meanwhile, Nicole was leaning against the railing as she coldly stared at the turmoil unfolding beneath her with her eyes slightly lowered. The matter was supposedly resolved, but all of a sudden, a burning sensation surged in her body, eating away at her will. She bit her lips as she gripped the railing. Squinting her eyes, she had never expected the drug Lydia set up to be so strong, so her only option right now was to go home. As for her mother’s innocence, one day, she would surely force it out of Lydia.
Right when she was about to leave, a man’s raspy voice stopped her. “You’re here, Miss Nicole Anderson.”
Intuitively, she turned around, and her gaze fell upon Colton’s sable eyes. She was stunned for a moment before quickly regaining her senses. She then pursed her lips and greeted him with a beam. “Yes.”
Due to the night’s dullness and the fact that there was no lighting where they were, their vision was almost pitch black, which was why Colton couldn’t see her weird expression.
“Are you not going downstairs?” Colton took a few steps forward and came before Nicole.
As he neared her, Nicole could smell the scent unique to the man, just like the scent from five years back. Zoning out, she quickly snapped out of it and subconsciously stepped back as an unusual redness occurred on her snowy cheeks. “Maybe not. I’m just an outsider, and I’ll surely make a fool of myself if I show up down there.” Finished, she subconsciously gulped her saliva as she held her shaky body up with her hand. For some reason, Colton’s approach gave her an irresistible sensation to get
close to him. Hence, she clenched her fists and pricked her palms with her fingers, attempting to suppress her urge to act rashly.
Colton said nothing more. He was aware of a thing or two about the grudge Nicole had against the Anderson Family, as well as how the Anderson Family was scornful of her. “Do you know what happened earlier?” Lowering his gaze, he casually quizzed all of a sudden.
With that, Nicole pretended to be calm and clueless, asking, “What happened?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Hearing her answer, Colton lowered his eyes and softly uttered, “Nothing too important, actually. Since you don’t know, let’s forget about it.”
They stood not too close to each other, about ten inches apart. Yet, Nicole could still feel the itch in her throat and the thumping desire to pounce at the man. However, she tried to hold it in. As she lowered her gaze, she swiftly stated, “It’s late. I should go.” If she were to tarry any longer, she might actually do something she would regret. Having said that, she was about to turn around and leave, but Colton suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Miss Anderson, I have something to ask of you.” His grab wasn’t forceful. As he was holding her, he could feel the terrifying heat on her skin in his palm. He slightly frowned, and as he was about to say something, Nicole quickly jerked her hand away before hastily stepping back.
“Just tell me what it is, President Gardner. I’ll help you out if it’s within my capabilities.”
Although Colton was bewildered, he started to express his thoughts earnestly. “So, my sister is graduating this year, and she plans to attend the graduation prom. Therefore, I’d like to ask you to design a dress for her. Only if you have the time, that is.”
On the other hand, Nicole could feel the effects of the drug getting stronger. There wasn’t any issue back when she was alone, but after Colton came, her body temperature speedily rose as the urge within her intensified. Hastily, she nodded and replied, “Of course.” Finished, she was about to leave, but out of nowhere, everything turned dark. She tripped herself and almost fell to the ground, but luckily, Colton, thanks to his agility, managed to grab her.
Holding her in his arms, Colton only noticed then the inordinately scorching temperature of the woman’s body.
There was nothing but blackness in Nicole’s vision. When she regained consciousness, the man’s scent gushed into her nostrils. Her heart skipped a beat, and as intimacy slowly surged in her eyes, she opened her mouth and licked her dry lips before she wrapped her arms around the man before her. With a voice so subtle yet so fatally alluring, she whispered, “Give it to me…”
