Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 224

Upon hearing her husband praising another woman's figure, a normal woman would usually get a bit jealous. But for Julie...

"A great figure, huh? How great? Let me see!" Julie moved next to Kieran, her hand resting on his arm as she curiously peered at his phone.

But the video only showed a man's satisfied face. Kieran promptly held his phone higher.

Julie couldn't see the woman with the supposedly fantastic figure. She stood on her tiptoes again, her eyes following the direction of the phone, "Why won't you let me see?"

Kieran tossed his phone on the bed and covered Julie's eyes, "What do you want to see?"

"The woman with the great figure." Julie reached for the phone, but Kieran pinned her down on the bed.

Rose petals on the bedsheet fluttered with their movement.

Julie felt something damp behind her. She realized she had accidentally spilled red wine on the bedsheet.

"Get up! You made me wet!" She pushed him away, her gaze landing on his profile.

His hand moved to her waist, gently lifting her, then he leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Where's it wet?"

"My clothes!" She blushed, pushing him away, then flipped over, pointing to the red wine stain. "I accidentally spilled red wine on the bedsheet."

Finishing her sentence, she saw Kieran's attention was on her dress hem, so she quickly turned and lunged for the phone.

But Kieran suddenly laid on the phone, so she didn't grab the phone but grabbed Kieran's pectorals instead.

Julie wanted to withdraw her hand as if she'd been burned. But before she could, she heard Kieran say, "Do you know why your clothes are wet?"

Julie answered, "Because of the spilled wine."

He gently caressed her wrist, "Wrong."

She frowned, "How's it wrong?"

"Your clothes got wet, not because of the wine, but because they're not 'waterproof'." The man somehow pulled out those two boxes of condoms again and opened the packaging.

"Shall I undress you, or will you do it yourself?" He let go of her wrist, one arm around her waist to prevent her from escaping. His other hand held the condom wrapper, biting it with his teeth and expertly tearing it open.

Julie swore, the sexiest thing she'd ever seen was no longer this man loosening his tie or unbuttoning his shirt, but him casually opening a condom wrapper. She was feeling a bit feverish.

Her blushing face immediately betrayed her emotions, especially as the female lead's constant panting in an adult film played nearby. She suddenly remembered that interesting comment from earlier. She looked down at him and asked, "Have you watched this before?"

She was referring to the video currently playing on the phone underneath him.

Kieran, who had just opened the condom wrapper, paused and looked up, "How do you want me to answer that?"

"Just tell me, did you watch it alone, or with a bunch of people?" What she really wanted to ask was, who did he watch it with?

Seeing Julie's indecisiveness and curiosity, Kieran suddenly became interested, "If you say 'I love you' three times, I'll tell you who I first watched it with."

That's so unfair!

Julie decided to go for it. She bit her lip and said without hesitation, "I love..."

"Hold on!" Before she could finish the first sentence, he suddenly changed his mind, "Change 'I love you' to 'Honey, you're amazing'. Go ahead."

He looked at her leisurely, seemingly looking forward to hearing that sentence from her.

That sentence was much harder to say than 'I love you'.

Suddenly, Julie pushed Kieran's hand away, sat up, and said, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors! If I lose, I'll say it!"

She remembered losing miserably to Kieran in rock-paper-scissors during a high school reunion. This time, she was determined to get her revenge while he was drunk!

"I didn't know Mrs. Hernandez had this hobby." He sat up and looked at Julie, raising an eyebrow, "Don't cry if you lose later."

"Let's go! I'm throwing rock!" After saying this, Julie suddenly remembered her camera was still on, so she cheekily tugged at Kieran's arm, "Let's play on my bed. This one's all wet from the wine."

She led Kieran with one hand and grabbed the wine with the other, "Get a glass!"

Kieran grabbed a glass and followed Julie to her bed.

She poured two glasses of wine and handed one to him. She remembered the erotic game mentioned in the comments, so she looked at him with a rarely seen coquettish smile, "Can you feed me a sip of wine?"
