Chapter 92Â
jessica obediently sat on the edge of the bed.Â
Zachary adjusted his glasses and gently pulled her hair to the front so that he could get to the zipper. He then managed to get it all the way down quickly, freeing her hair from the zipper of the evening gown.Â
Jessica couldn’t help but feel a cold sensation spread across her back as the fabric slipped away, leaving her delicate shoulder blades exposed.Â
Zachary pursed his lips before gently murmuring, “Jess…”Â
“Yes?” Jessica was just about to stand up when she heard Zachary’s husky voice behind her.Â
“I’ll let you have the rest of the day off.”Â
“Why?” Jessica tilted her head slightly, though she still couldn’t get a good look at Zachary.Â
Zachary remained silent and kissed her shoulder. He then wrapped his arms around her from behind.Â
Jessica’s heart started to race. All she could hear was the heavy breathing coming from behind her.Â
“I want to…” Zachary trailed off as his kisses went from her shoulder all the way up to her ear.Â
In the end, that high–end couture evening gown was tossed aside to the floor, and Jessica’s face was flushed as she lay motionless on the bed. Her fake nails that had been attached to her ring and index fingers were nowhere to be found.Â
Zachary slowly pulled away from Jessica’s neck. His eyes, even behind the lenses, were clouded with desire. He removed his glasses and set them on the bedside table.Â
Jessica swallowed hard, her face turning a shocking shade of red. She felt as though he was losing it and that he was going to eat her up alive.Â
It wasn’t long before the sound of a belt being undone and the sound of a zipper being unzipped echoed throughout the room.Â
Just then, Zachary’s phone on the bedside table started ringing, its sound an unwelcome interruption.Â
Zachary swallowed hard and took a deep breath, his expression morphing into one of pureÂ
rage.Â
They both gradually opened their eyes.Â
Zachary got up and picked up his phone, noting that it was Joshua calling. He glanced at the time and noticed that it was almost 2:00 pm.Â
He leaned down and kissed Jessica before answering the call, saying, “You’d better have a good reason to call me at this hour.”Â
Joshua fell silent for a moment before saying meekly, “I’ve found it, Mr. Jones. Is this considered a good enough reason?”Â
“Got it,” Zachary said before ending the call and putting his phone on the bedside table. He then gently lifted Jessica’s damp hair and tucked it behind her ear.Â
He briefly kissed her on the lips and said, “I have something to attend to, darling, but tonight I want to…”Â
Zachary’s remark sounded like a bewitching whisper in her ear, leaving no room for negotiation.Â
Jessica fell silent while her heart hammered in her chest, realizing that she had no memory of how the last half hour had gone by. She was mentally prepared for what came next, but she couldn’t bring herself to be the one to initiate it again.Â
She had been the one to initiate things last time, which resulted in a lifetime of reticence. He was the one who started it this time, so she thought she should just go along with it. She figured it was going to happen sooner or later.Â
They both got up at the same time to straighten their rumpled clothes.Â
“I’ve already given you the rest of the day off, so you should just stay here and rest for a while, “Zachary said, watching Jessica’s panicked demeanor. It appeared as if she were fleeing fromÂ
some sort of unseen peril.Â
“I should probably head back to work,” Jessica said, her face crimson.Â
“You should save your energy for tonight.”Â
Jessica walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and blocked out what Zachary was saying.Â
That man was truly out of his mind. She gently patted her flushed cheeks, noting that the faint hickeys on her neck were barely visible. She had thankfully worn a turtleneck today, so no oneÂ
would be able to see them.Â
She then emerged from the bathroom to find that Zachary had already tidied the bed and left. She breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put on her clothes. She kept bracing herself for whatÂ
was to come.Â
She knew that Zachary was going to have his way with her tonight.Â
