Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 264

Especially since he was shirtless, wearing nothing but a towel that hung precariously low on his hips, looking as if it could drop at any second.

Her pulse spiked wildly, and her palms grew slick with nervous sweat.

Reaching the edge of the bed, Alaric turned to face her. He lifted his hand, tilting her delicate chin up, his gaze dark and predatory.

"Close your eyes," he commanded.

Ivy knew she couldn't refuse.

Besides, they were a married couple.

She had accepted so much from him; if she couldn't satisfy his physical needs, why should he continue providing for her?

Plus, with her sisters' persistent requests, she still needed to ask him for a favor afterward.

With that in mind, Ivy obediently closed her eyes.

A second later, she felt his lips crash down on hers. Then she was swept off her feet, falling back into the plush expanse of the mattress.

She was too embarrassed to open her eyes.

Alaric's touch felt intoxicatingly good.

She knew she was greedily surrendering to the pleasure.

She didn't need a mirror to know how flushed and completely captivated she looked.

Perhaps terrified that showing too much enthusiasm would only trigger his aggressive dominance, Ivy kept her reactions slightly passive.

In reality, Alaric had only intended to test if his urges were functional.

He wanted to see how long Elena's drug still had a hold on his system.

But the moment he had his little wife in bed, his restraint completely snapped.

The intoxicating scent of their passion drove him wild, and he ended up taking her relentlessly for quite some time.

Although exhausted, Ivy couldn't really blame him for it.

Afterward, seeing him sit up and get dressed, it seemed he had more work to attend to.

She quickly spoke up. "Um... do you have a minute?"

Fully dressed, Alaric glanced back at her, a thoroughly satisfied expression settling on his handsome features.

"What is it?"
