There was a shadow moving in the window of Terry’s room; he must have finished his shower and could come looking for her at any moment.Â
And if he opened the window, he would be able to see everything happening at the end of the bamboo grove.Â
Romina gritted her teeth, deciding to get it over with quickly.Â
She quickly closed her eyes, rose up on tiptoe, and in an instant pressed her lips to the man’s.Â
It was over in a flash.Â
A kiss as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, yet it completely stirred the man’s deepest desires.Â
Just as she was about to push him away, he unhesitatingly reached out, opened the back door of the car, and pulled her inside.Â
The whole process was so swift and decisive that Romina barely had time to react.Â
When she looked up again, the man had already closed the door and was kissing her directly.Â
Romina’s pupils widened instantly, her eyes filled with disbelief.Â
Joaquin kissed her urgently and fiercely, almost more than she could bear.Â
She was wearing a thin knit sweater on the outside, and underneath, a long black camisole nightdress. With a gentle tug, the man exposed her fragrant shoulders.Â
When his kisses moved to her snow–white neck, her emotions became a tangled mess.Â
It was only at this moment that she realized just how dangerous it was to get involved with this man.Â
As the black strap slipped down, the snowy expanse of her chest was fully revealed.Â
Just as the man was about to lean over her, Romina quickly reached out and pressed her hand against his chest.Â

As soon as she said this, the man suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked down atÂ
her for a moment.Â
He quickly pulled up her strap and helped her put her clothes back on.Â
In the dim light, Romina met his gaze and caught a glimpse of the restraint and self–control in his eyes.Â
It wasn’t the first time she had seen that look on this man’s face.Â
Every time she saw such restraint, she would always feel inexplicably moved.Â
The man instinctively reached out and squeezed her calf. “Since it’s a special time, why aren’t you wearing more? You’re exposing your calves–what if you catch a cold?”Â
Romina’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if it had missed a step.Â
The sudden concern made her choke up instinctively.Â
It had been a long time since anyone had cared for her like this…Â
The man took off his coat and draped it directly over her thighs, his voice deep. “When is your high–speed train ticket for?”Â
“Three o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”Â
As soon as Romina finished speaking, Joaquin said bluntly, “Cancel the ticket. Come back with me tomorrow morning. I’ll be here to pick you up at ten sharp.”Â
“No need, I can go back by myself.”Â
“Your situation is very dangerous right now. It’s not safe for you to go back alone.”Â
The man sat beside her, and when he turned to look at her, his eyes were filled with a cold, sharp aura.Â
Only then did Romina remember the person who had tried to assassinate her that afternoon.Â
She turned her head curiously, her gaze burning as she looked at the man in front of her. “After you took that thug away, did you get anything out of him?”Â
“There’s no way to interrogate him here. I’ve already had him sent back to Straland. We’ll dealÂ
