Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 267

At such a close distance, Xyla’s heart was nearly beating out of control.

“Untangle it, quickly,” she said.

“Okay… I’ll untangle it,” replied Stanley.

The closer they were, the better his voice sounded. It sounded like an expensive cello which played a beautiful melody. There was a noble quality to his deep-sounding voice. Listening to it, Xyla felt like she was becoming even more intoxicated.

“Is it untangled yet?” she asked.

“Hold on…”

Stanley lowered his head while he carefully tried to untangle Xyla’s hair from his button. However, there seemed to be an unresolvable knot which could not be untangled swiftly. While their bodies were tightly pressed against each other, Xyla dared not move about, for fear that she might hurt herself from tugging her hair too hard.

In between breaths, her hair softly rubbed against his face. It caused an itchy sensation. For some reason, Xyla felt something pressing against her from behind. Her body trembled and she subconsciously took a step forward. Once again, Stanley wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back into position.

“Don’t move,” he ordered from above her head.

He continued to untangle her hair. When Xyla felt a sharp pain on her scalp, her rationality immediately returned. She could not help but let out a gasp of pain.

“Ouch… Five Batton, can you be gentler?”

“Okay, I’ll be gentler.”

“No. You’re still not being gentle enough. Five Batton, it hurts…”

“Okay, I’ll be even gentler.”

“Five Batton, can you do it faster? It hurts too much.”

“Yeah, very fast. Bear with me.” As soon as he said that, he could not resist chuckling a little.

“What are you laughing at?” Xyla asked immediately.

Stanley smiled affectionately. “Figure it out yourself…”

Xyla immediately came to her senses. Her face turned red, and so did her neck. She felt as if her heart would stop beating as she began to realize how inappropriate their conversation was.
