There was no sound in the darkness.
Minerva closed her eyes and she couldn't see anything. She couldn't hear any sound either. There was no other sound other than the sound of the door closing just now.
Could it be that Maddox had not come in at all?
With this thought in mind, Minerva immediately opened her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the handsome face in the dark which was close at hand. Minerva was shocked and almost screamed.
However, Maddox's speed was even faster. Before she could scream, he lowered his head and kissed her.
"Oh..."
Minerva's eyes widened and she subconsciously reached out her hand to push him away.
She didn't expect him to sneak in front of her and catch her out without making a sound. Was... this person a devil?
After about ten seconds, Maddox stopped kissing her, and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Have you stopped pretending to be asleep?"
Minerva felt a burning sensation on her lips and face. One reason was because he kissed her, and the other was that she was shy. She glared at him, not caring whether Maddox could see it or not. She said angrily, "I didn't pretend to be asleep."
As soon as she finished her words, she heard low laughter coming from the front. The voice was a little hoarse, like the sound one usually makes after getting drunk. It sounded very sexy and flirty.
"Is that so?"
Minerva felt the bed beside her sink. Maddox turned over and laid down beside her, close to her ear.
He said, "Next time when you pretend to sleep, remember to control your breathing frequency."
Minerva was speechless.
He continued, "Your heartbeat and breathing are both so fast. Who do you want to lie to?"
When Maddox saw that she didn't answer, he put his hand on her face and said, "Hmm?"
His palm was especially hot. It covered her cheeks like a burning wall. Maddox's actions had caused her to lean toward him.
Minerva didn't want to be submissive and did not want to meet him face to face because he would definitely take advantage of her.
Thus, she twisted her body a little and turned her back towards Maddox.
The person behind her was stunned for a moment and quickly came over. Minerva hit him with her elbow when she noticed him approaching. "Stay away from me."
At first, when her elbow hit him, Maddox still took a step back symbolically. However, he quickly leaned over and hugged her from behind. No matter how hard she hit him with her elbow, he did not retreat.
The warm breath was right behind her ear. He had just taken a shower, and there was still water on his body. The temperature in the room was very high. They were so close together that they sweated after a short while.
"What are you doing?" Minerva was feeling hot. Even her breathing became hurried. She kept pushing the person behind her.
Maddox asked, "Did you hear what I said on the balcony just now?"
She did hear him. Minerva responded to him silently in her heart. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. She quickly said, "You can speak, but don't touch me..."
She hurried to hold down his restless hands.
Just now, when she was stunned, he had allowed his hand to run to her collar, attempting to unbutton her pyjamas.
As expected, men were all the same!
Usually, he looked cold and restrained by lust, but he showed his true colours when he got on the bed.
Minerva felt his body temperature rising and knew that things would not go well if it went on like this. She could only say quickly, "If you stay here tonight, then your grandfather's impression of me will only worsen."
Sure enough, Maddox's movements came to a halt. However, it only came to a halt for a short while before continuing again.
He replied, "It doesn't matter. They will change one day."
He seemed to be a little impatient.
