Chapter 623: All My Blood Burns for You

The water in the pot bubbled with steam, filling the air with a warm and strange aroma, making one eager to eat.

Cecilia Vaughn was about to answer what ingredients she had put in the pot when she unexpectedly heard a man’s voice with a hint of amusement.

“Cecilia, more than the taste of the soup, I miss you.”

The girl’s face blushed instantly…

She didn’t know since when, but whenever Adrian Law spoke even slightly deviantly, Cecilia, who used to not understand at all, now could directly grasp the man’s deeper meaning.

…

The girl lowered her head uneasily, focusing on lifting the pot lid and using a spoon to stir the soup inside.

“Stop talking nonsense, I’m hungry even if you’re not. You be good and sit in the living room. Once the meal is ready, I’ll join you for dinner.”

“…”

The man stubbornly wrapped his arms around Cecilia from behind, gently resting his head on her shoulder.

“Cecilia, don’t change the subject. Do you really think this pot of soup is more charming than me?”

Oh, do you have to be so childish?

Being jealous of others is one thing, but now even a pot of soup is causing your jealousy; Tripp Law, maybe you’re actually only two years old.

…

Cecilia was complaining to herself, yet the man was deliberately preventing her from being at ease.

His thin lips lightly brushed her ear, breathing gently.

Clearly, the entire kitchen should have been enveloped in the aroma of food, but Cecilia vaguely felt that Adrian’s masculine pheromones were so mischievously demanding her attention instead.

…

“Stop it.”

Cecilia was slightly shy and annoyed, hurriedly patting away Adrian’s mischievous lips.

“Cecilia, I’m not being naughty. I’m just here watching how you cook.”

The man cleared his throat in a mock-serious manner, but his eyes were fixed on Cecilia’s figure, accentuated by the pink apron. She slightly lowered her head, exposing a delicate white neck, noble and graceful like a swan.

“I don’t need that! You’re affecting my mood to cook.”

Cecilia felt the burning gaze on her back, almost causing her to lose her grip on the spoon.

“Cecilia, just put down the spoon. Actually, you just need to let it boil for a while.”

“Rather than having free time, why not spend a quiet moment with me?”

As he spoke, the man’s large hand became increasingly unruly, moving downwards along Cecilia’s apron.

Cecilia had lost some weight recently, not quite to the point where her waist would snap at a grasp, but for Adrian, it was slim enough. He wrapped his hand around Cecilia, glancing at her slender legs.

Those were the beautiful curves he had once personally measured with his hands.

…

The man’s eyes darkened slightly with restlessness, and before he knew it, he pulled Cecilia’s hand, turning her around to face him.

“Hey, what are you doing!”

Cecilia was startled, almost stepping back in fright.

Luckily, Adrian caught her in time.

Otherwise, the pot of soup in the kitchen would have been completely ruined by them.

…

“Cecilia, don’t move around. You wouldn’t want to blow up the kitchen, would you?”

“And whose fault is that?!”

Cecilia heard the man’s teasing words and rolled her eyes angrily.

And immediately, she unexpectedly met the man’s deep gaze.

Those eyes, deep as seawater, concealing countless vortices, seemingly ready to devour her at any moment.

Such a look!

She knew it too well!

…

The string in Cecilia’s mind snapped abruptly, and just then, Adrian’s lips came crashing down on hers, turning her around and placing her on the unobstructed glass countertop, dominantly cupping her face and kissing her wildly.

“Cecilia, don’t mind the soup… I feel full just looking at you.”

Adrian said hoarsely, and then he decisively sealed away all the words she wanted to say with his thin lips.

…

Her consciousness seemed to be swallowed by some sea monster.

Cecilia’s entire body felt like it was burning, she could hear the bubbling soup in the pot, but at this moment, she had no time to care, as Adrian tightly held her, seemingly wanting to merge their two bodies into one.

Adrian’s lips were hot.

So hot that Cecilia’s mind was a blank slate.

His tongue eagerly invaded, and before Cecilia could resist, she felt all the oxygen in her mouth being plundered.

“Mm… stop… the soup is about to dry out… mmph!”

“Don’t worry about it…”

Adrian chuckled lowly.

Due to Adrian’s recent arm injury, they hadn’t had such contact for many days…

It’s not that Adrian didn’t want to, but Cecilia was afraid she might aggravate his wound.

…

Adrian didn’t consider it a big deal, but Cecilia did. After all, Adrian was injured for her sake. If the wound ever reopened and they had to see Doctor Prescott again, she wouldn’t dare to tell him the reason even if she had the guts!

Because it would be too embarrassing!

…

The more Cecilia thought, the more embarrassed she felt, yet she couldn’t help since Adrian was much stronger.

Adrian’s breath was filled with warmth that pressured her, leaving Cecilia nearly breathless.

Adrian’s kisses were like a storm long held at bay, suddenly sweeping over, flooding Cecilia’s senses with male pheromones.

Her heart and eyes were filled with the man in front of her, surrounded entirely by Adrian’s cool bamboo fragrance, making soups and food feel forgotten.

As their lips met, the girl’s delicate eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.

Adrian was too bad…

Cecilia even felt his large hand undo the ties of her apron, searching for her belt buckle.

…

Understanding his intent.

Cecilia’s pupils widened in reluctance.

It’s still mealtime!

The ancients said contentment leads to indulgence, but Adrian was…!

Cecilia kicked forcefully, yet instead of scaring him away, she kicked off her own slipper.

“…”

Declaring a defeat in struggle.

Cecilia felt like crying without tears at her predicament, while the man chuckled at her divine misstep.

“Cecilia, you’re so cute.”

So cute my foot!

Cecilia glared at him, but Adrian instead of helping her put the shoe back on, removed her sock, revealing her jade-like ankle.

The man’s eyes filled with an intense fire.

“Cecilia, you look beautiful everywhere.”

The man spoke as he scratched her foot’s sole.

“Want to keep up the resistance?”

Cecilia was ticklish, easily making her surrender when he did this.

So uncomfortable…

The girl bit her lip, her shimmering almond eyes misted with a layer of enticing haze.

Just as the atmosphere between them was growing thick with passion, a loud bang brought them back to their senses!
