Casey had assumed that after dinner, they would part ways and return to their respective hotels. However, to her surprise, Rex suggested something different.
His proposal to stay at a villa, which he had already booked for two nights, filled Casey with a rush of excitement and shyness. The thought of spending more time together in a private setting made her heart flutter.
Casey was still floating on cloud nine. She couldn't contain her joy. The man she loved had taken the initiative to improve their relationship. It was a dream come true.
The car ride to the villa near the restaurant was filled with awkward silence.
Casey could only smile secretly, her mind filled with wild thoughts of what they would do once they arrived at the villa. Not only did Casey feel a thrill, but Rex did feel it too.
Rex felt like a foolish teenager, unable to wipe the wide grin off his face. He was elated by the fact that he had successfully asked Casey to be his woman and that they would spend the night together after confirming their relationship.
His happiness left him speechless.
...
It wasn't long before their car pulled up to a small whitewashed villa, standing at the highest point in the area.
As Casey stepped into the villa, she was immediately captivated by the minimalist interior design of the living room.
The space seamlessly connected to the modern kitchen, creating an open, airy atmosphere. The sleek furniture and clean lines added to the overall simplicity and elegance of the room.
But what truly took her breath away was the glass wall that adorned one side of the living room. She could see the breathtaking view of city lights twinkling in the distance through its transparent surface.
The sight was nothing short of mesmerizing, casting a romantic vibe across the room. It was as if the villa itself embraced the beauty of the outside world, bringing a sense of tranquility and charm to the space.
However, Casey's admiration for the beauty of the place quickly turned to nervousness when she realized she had arrived empty-handed, carrying only her wallet and cell phone.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom She needed to call her assistant to bring her belongings to the villa.
Noticing her dilemma, Rex said, "I've already arranged for someone to prepare your clothes, so there's no need to worry."
"Really!?" Casey was surprised by Rex's thoughtfulness. It meant a lot to her that he had taken care of such details.
Rex nodded, his gaze fixed on Casey as she stood near the entrance. Sensing her discomfort, he smiles while motioning toward the white door on the other side of the living room.
"Casey, this villa only has one bedroom. You can change into your comfortable clothes there, as all your belongings have already been placed in the room," he explained, gesturing towards the door.
'Only one bedroom...' Casey repeated Rex's words silently, attempting to push away the enticing thoughts that were beginning to preoccupy her mind.
With a nod, she hastened her steps towards the bedroom, her heart threatening to burst with anticipation as she entered the room.
The sight of the bed positioned in the center caused her pulse to quicken.
"S-o... So, will we be sharing a bed?"
Casey's throat went dry. Her blood surged through her veins, sending warm waves throughout her body.
"Oh my gosh! Casey, come on... why are you so nervous? You and Rex are not teenagers. You're adults, and he is the man you love. Why should you be afraid of sharing a bed with him?"
She covered her face with her hands, half-running towards the bathroom. She needed to splash cold water on her face, hoping to quell the rising heat. Otherwise, her face would soon resemble a ripe tomato.
Casey splashes her face with cold water, allowing the refreshing sensation to wash away her unease.
After a few moments of splashing her face with the chilly water, she felt a significant improvement. The heat had dissipated, and her breathing had returned to normal.
She lifted her head, meeting her own gaze in the mirror, a shy smile gracing her lips.
"Come on, Casey Adams, act more mature!"
She scolded herself, shaking her head in disbelief at her own childishness in such matters.
Goodness!
Refreshed, Casey checked out the wardrobe and was pleasantly surprised again. Inside the closet, she found her own and Rex's neatly arranged clothes.
Realizing that Rex had planned this thoughtful gesture, Casey couldn't help but feel over the moon.
"Why are you so romantic, Rex Morrison? You make me fall even deeper in love with you," she giggled, caressing his clothes as if trying to capture his warmth.
"Is that so!?" Rex's voice suddenly broke the tranquility behind Casey.
Her body froze, and she couldn't help but wonder, 'Since when is he here?'
Turning around slowly, Casey met his gaze. She opened her mouth a few times, but no words could escape her lips.
'Gosh!! Casey...' She silently scolds herself. She quickly averted her gaze, no longer able to bear Rex's irresistible charm.
Casey feared that if she continued to stare into his captivating eyes, she would succumb to the overwhelming desire to throw herself into his arms and kiss him passionately.
'Be strong, Casey Adams!' she whispered to herself, desperately trying to regain her composure. However, her efforts proved futile as she witnessed Rex's feet steadily approaching her. Second later, she found herself enveloped in his warm embrace.
"I love you too," Rex confessed, his words causing Casey's heart to melt. "I will strive to make you feel cherished every single day, Casey." His voice resonated with sincerity and tenderness, leaving Casey drowned in his honey pool.
As Rex's embrace loosened, Casey lifted her gaze to meet his eyes.
Before she could utter a word, the sight of his face approaching startled her. In the next moment, their lips met in a passionate kiss.
Rex's lips met Casey's, he skillfully parted her teeth, and his tongue gently invaded her mouth, engaging in a passionate dance of kissing and sucking.
Casey's eyes widened, and her breath caught in her throat. Her small hands, resting on Rex's chest, trembled slightly, and a sudden weakness swept over her body, draining her strength.
Instinctively, she tried to retreat, but the arm around her waist held her firmly, preventing any escape. He forcefully sealed her surprised cry, asserting his dominance. Even the space to take a breath was snatched away. The mingling of their lips and teeth sent waves of warmth tingling on her tongue, spreading through every corner of her mouth.
The air in Casey's chest was compressed, leaving her gasping for breath. She longed to breathe, to create some distance between them. Yet, in Rex's embrace, it felt as if she were ensnared by an unbreakable spell, unable to move.
The lack of oxygen gradually weakened Casey's limbs. Ultimately, she could only rely on Rex's arms to stand. As Casey nearly suffocated by the joy she felt from Rex's kiss, Rex reluctantly broke the kiss.
Taking in deep breaths of fresh air, Casey resembled a drowning soul gasping for life. Her gaze locked with his piercing light-blue eyes simmered with a hunger to make love with her.
"I love you, Casey Adams," he whispered, prompting her to bury her head in his chest.
"I love you even more," she replied in a hushed and whispered voice, barely audible.
