Chapter 23 Test the Bottom Line
She felt a bit terrified when she saw Peter here.
“Bullshit.”
He squinted slightly and held up the room card. “Were you afraid that he would wonder, or are you trying to seduce him?”
Damn it! This woman kept testing his bottom line.
“I’m not!”
Adriana immediately retorted.
“Are you sure?” He gave a grim smile as his eyes flickered to her bath towel. “Then why are you dressed like this?”
Peter pinched her chin and said in a cold voice. “Don’t try to fool me and don’t think you can do whatever you want just because Alvin likes you. You are just a cheap woman who would sell herself for money. What makes you think you can be with Alvin?”
“Peter, you bastard!”
Adriana pushed Peter away angrily. “You don’t know anything. How can you talk like that…”
Without finished saying, Adriana felt weird. She looked down and found that her bath towel suddenly loosened and dropped to the floor.
At that moment, the atmosphere became strange and awkward between them.
“Ah!”
Adriana screamed and felt the sting of blush on her cheeks instantly.
Then she bent over and wanted to pick up the bath towel from the ground.
But Peter stepped forward and on the bath towel under his bright patent leather shoes, and said coldly, “Don’t you like to seduce men? Why are you acting like you are shy?”
Peter was irritated by the thought of Adriana deliberately inviting Alvin to her room and putting on such a show to seduce him.
Adriana felt humiliated and embarrassed. She tried to pull the bath towel with all her strength, but his feet didn’t move an inch.
She felt like a clown, being humiliated by Peter.
“Let go!”
She threw a daggered glare at Peter and dragged the bath towel as hard as she could, but it still did not move. All of a sudden, her hands slipped, and she slashed back…
Her body smashed at the wall. She groaned in pain, but she bounced out by the force and hit right on Peter.
Peter didn’t expect her to come, so both of them fell on the carpet.
“Um…”
The moment of Adriana fell, her forehead hit Peter on his. The pain made her groan and dizzy.
The next second she felt that her breasts were wrapped in the warmth of his palms, which accelerated the heat in her body, and she couldn’t help but let out a groan, “Oh… hot…”
Lying on the ground, Peter’s face grew grim, but he did not move.
Just now, when he saw Adriana flinging herself at him, he raised his hands and wanted to push her away, but they ended up falling together.
With her body lying on him, he was so embarrassed that he didn’t know whether he should take his hands away or not.
“Oh… Peter, you bastard!”
Only two seconds later, Adriana shook her head, trying to get rid of the dizziness. She looked down and got furious. She raised her hand and slapped him on the face, with full strength.
The clear sound echoed in the room.
Peter’s face was slapped to one side, and a strand of hair drooped on his forehead, covering the coldness in his eyes.
The next moment, he put his hand around her neck. “Adriana, do you want to die?”
Damn it! How could this woman dare?
“It hurts…”
Her neck was squeezed by his hand so hard that Adriana was unable to breathe and started coughing. Subconsciously she tried to sit up straight, but her hand pressed on something strange.
Her face blushed. Regardless of the pain in her neck, she immediately lifted her hand and apologized. “I… I… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
Peter’s eyes darkened and stared at the woman in front of him with rage.
“Since you want a man so badly, I don’t mind helping you.”
He got up, grabbed her arms, threw her directly onto the bed, and kept her body underneath his. “You are such a whore.”
“No… no, go away! I feel so hot… go away…”
Even though Adriana just had a cold shower, somehow, she still felt extremely hot.
The air conditioner was on and the temperature was very low in the room, but it did not help to relieve the heat in her.
Her cheeks were getting redder and redder, just like ripe red apples.
“Didn’t you plan to get a man here? Now what? Why are you pushing me away?”
Peter never hooked up with any women. But now with Adriana underneath his body, he was getting out of control.
A lust rising in his body was driving him a bit crazy.
“No, let go of me, um… I feel… awful…”
Adriana was feeling dizzy, thirsty, and uncomfortable.
“You asked for it!”
Peter’s eyes darkened. He leaned over and kissed her lips.
“Um…”
She didn’t know why, but as Peter approached her, she felt very comfortable, and the dryness and heat on her body were relieved.
She opened her eyes in a daze to see a strange but familiar face in front of her. She hesitated for a second and pushed him away immediately. “Peter!”
A cry of exclamation also waked Peter.
He stopped and looked at Adriana, not knowing how to react.
“What’s wrong with me?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Adriana muttered, but the heat was still burning her, so she pushed Peter away, stumbled out of bed, and rushed into the bathroom.
Adriana sat in the tub in the bathroom, turned on the cold water, and soaked herself in it. “I’m still hot… What happened to me?”
Peter sat on the bed, thought about what just happened, and felt incomparably ridiculous.
He had come here to warn this woman to stay away from Alvin. How did things get to this point?
He raised his hand to rub his temples.
Suddenly, there was a sob coming from the bathroom.
Peter suddenly realized that the way Adriana looked and acted was abnormal.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Did she take philter?
