Callum was hit with a sudden revelation, but his body seemed to react on its own, sweeping Lexi off her feet and carrying her towards the large, luxurious king-size bed.
He craved her, his desire refusing to be ignored for even a moment longer.
Lexi resisted, struggling against him. She wasn't some object for his pleasure, she wouldn't be!
But her efforts were nothing more than child's play to Callum, like a playful tickle that barely registered.
As they fell onto the expansive bed, Lexi glared at Callum. "You better let me go right now, you dishonorable brute."
Callum deftly removed their clothing and whispered in Lexi's ear, "No, I'm not a brute. Didn't you tell me to start a new life? So save me, because god, I don't know why, but I'm hellishly obsessed with you."
Lexi was taken aback. She never expected Callum to develop such feelings for her. Exposed and vulnerable, Lexi shook her head in embarrassment. "No, no, no, you're just using me as a replacement for Natalia. You can't do this."
Callum forcefully parted Lexi's legs and leaned over her, murmuring to her, "That's not it. These days, I keep thinking about you involuntarily. Whether I'm happy or upset, I always want to share it with you. Since you said I'm beyond redemption, why don't you save me, give me a chance to start over, to break free from my infatuation with Buttercup."
Lexi wanted to push Callum away, but his words acted like a spell, making her feel dizzy. Callum had already had his way by the time she regained her senses.
"Sweetheart, please give me the chance to start anew and break free from my obsession with Natalia," Callum pleaded, almost like a prayer, as he pressed into her.
Lexi pulled the thin blanket over her face, hating herself for somewhat enjoying the sensation. She was the one beyond redemption.
Their tryst continued under Callum's relentless pursuit. Lexi resented him in her heart, but her body yearned for him. Closing her eyes, she soon succumbed to Callum's advances.
The orgasm passed, leaving Lexi completely exhausted. She lay limp on the bed, not wanting to meet Callum's gaze. Suddenly, Callum, who was about to get up, scooped Lexi into his arms. Startled, Lexi quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, afraid of being dropped, "What are you doing?"
"It's not very comfortable here. Let's change the venue." Callum gave her a suggestive smile, carrying Lexi towards the bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, Callum gently placed Lexi in the filled bathtub before joining her.
Feeling weak, Lexi could barely lift her fingers. She was unsure whether it was due to the warm water, but her stomach started to churn. She leaned against the side of the tub and retched.
"Are you okay? Do you feel unwell somewhere?" Callum asked with concern.
Lexi shook her head. "No, I'm just feeling a bit queasy."
Although Lexi claimed she was fine, Callum couldn't help but worry. He stepped out of the tub, draped a bathrobe around himself, and rang for Rita. "Get the doctor. Ms. Lexi isn't feeling well."
