At that moment, somebody opened the door. Subconsciously, Xyla Quest clenched virtual-novel.net fists tight as goosebumps appeared all over virtual-novel.net body. She began to throw punches in the direction of where the sound came from.
Before virtual-novel.net fist came into contact with anything, a large, warm hand grabbed hers. After that, Xyla was pressed against the wall. She could smell the fragrance of mint-scented soap.
In the pitch-black room, Xyla could not see anything. Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net felt the person’s body pressing against hers affectionately.
Xyla began to relax when the scent of mint and cigarette wafted through virtual-novel.net nostrils.
“What were you trying to do? Huh?” A deep yet sensual voice could be heard.
Xyla could feel his warm breath above virtual-novel.net head. Her heart began to race as virtual-novel.net felt something like an electric current travelling through virtual-novel.net body.
Subconsciously, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and pushed against his chest. “I thought you were a bad guy.”
Xyla could feel a dampness over virtual-novel.net fingers.
It appeared that Stanley Batton was not wearing any clothes, and virtual-novel.net had only finished taking a shower. Xyla was actually touching his muscular chest. Feeling tense all over virtual-novel.net body, Xyla quickly pulled virtual-novel.net hand away.
The man chuckled a little. “Not bad. You are quite alert to danger.”
“Five Batton, when did you return? Why didn’t I hear any sound at all?” Xyla asked.
“I’ve been home for a while now. I took a shower after arriving. Perhaps you were busy and did not hear me. When the electricity went out, I was worried you might be afraid. That’s why I came over to check on you,” Stanley said.
Xyla immediately felt a warm sensation in virtual-novel.net heart when virtual-novel.net heard what Stanley said.
Standing in his original position, Stanley continued to breathe against virtual-novel.net scalp.
Even in darkness, Xyla felt as if virtual-novel.net had been tossed into a pit of flames. Her skin was heating up all over virtual-novel.net body.
“Five Batton, is your phone working? Turn on the torch light and check what happened to the electricity,” virtual-novel.net said.
“The circuit breaker probably tripped,” virtual-novel.net said.
“Check it out, ” Xyla said.
“Your wish is my command,” Stanley said before letting Xyla go.
Very soon, virtual-novel.net took his phone out and a bright light immediately appeared. The cold tone of the light made his muscular chest and toned abs appear even sexier. With only a white towel wrapped at a low position around his waist, his manly hip was also visible.
Xyla noticed droplets of water on his smooth, cold skin. Under the bright light, it seemed as if there were sparkling diamonds attached to his body. With his good-looking face, which almost seemed godly, words were not enough to describe how attractive virtual-novel.net appeared.
Xyla subconsciously lowered virtual-novel.net head. “Put your clothes on.”
“Come with me…” Stanley grabbed virtual-novel.net wrist gently and led virtual-novel.net outside.
“I’ll just wait for you in the room,” Xyla said and stopped walking.
“Aren’t you afraid of the dark?” Stanley asked.
“I’m fine,” virtual-novel.net said.
Before Xyla could finish virtual-novel.net sentence, Stanley had dragged virtual-novel.net out of the room decisively. Helplessly, Xyla followed virtual-novel.net outside. She tried to push his hand away but failed. In the end, virtual-novel.net could only allow virtual-novel.net to drag virtual-novel.net along.
Stanley led Xyla all the way to the electrical junction box in the living room downstairs. He then carefully examined it.
