Chapter 75: A Crippling Addiction

"I would be very honored if I were allowed to come and spend some time with you and your sister, would that be okay?"

Cherie’s words stunned me. It was a question I wasn’t expecting, but it showed how far she was willing to go to put a rift between Christian and Morgan.

My lips curved up into a big smile. "Yes, that’s a wonderful idea! We would love your company!"

Why not bring my sister a nice welcome gift home to keep her busy.

"It’s so nice to see Cherie getting along well with Leslie. I always felt bad for her because we needed to move so often due to my wife’s health; she never had the chance to make strong friendships," said Roan from the hospital bed.

"How is your wife now?" asked Christian.

"She’s doing much better. The warmer weather and mild climate suits her very well," answered Roan.

After realizing that I wasn’t what she expected, Cherie pretended to be tired and walked over to take a seat in the armchair.

After living all these years with Morgan, I’ve seen every trick in the book. It was easy to tell what she was thinking.

Christian also noticed Cherie’s tired demeanor and looked over at Roan. "We will give you both some time to rest. Please let me know if there’s anything you need. I will come visit tomorrow."

Roan nodded, "Thank you so much for today, Christian. You really are my benefactor. I don’t know if I would have made it out of the woods alive."

"Nonsense, I’m just happy to see that you are well," smiled Christian. "Then around noon tomorrow, I’ll come visit again."

"Yes, tomorrow is the day of our meeting anyway. Bring Leslie so that she can spend some time with Cherie," said Roan, flashing me a smile.

I nodded my head politely, keeping up with my virtuous persona. I didn’t particularly want to spend time with her, but either way, I wasn’t bothered.

Christian walked over to my side. "Shall we head back to the hotel?"

I averted my gaze and nodded respectfully, looking at the ground. My actions remained professional and proper.

Although my eyes were fixated on the ground, I could still feel Christian’s burning gaze on me.

He cleared his throat and walked forward. "Then let’s go."

I followed behind him, maintaining a proper distance. However, the moment we left the ward, Christian pinned me against the wall, placing a passionate kiss on my lips.

My heart raced as my eyes widened. I never expected him to do something so bold, just outside of Roan’s hospital room.

Even the few nurses in the hallway looked at us with blushing faces.

"Tell me, Leslie, why do I feel so possessive whenever you act like you don’t see me as anything other than a boss? It’s maddening."

Though he whispered the words into my ear, his tone was desperate.

"Tell me. Tell me that I’m more than just your boss. More than just your sister’s fiancé."

I looked him in the eyes. Due to the close proximity between us, I only had to reach my hand a short distance to place my hand on his chest.

His heart is beating even faster than mine!

There were so many emotions running through me at that moment, and most of them were impossible to put into words.

So instead of answering him directly, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.

I kissed him fiercely, with more than just desire. This kiss was filled with all of my emotions, all of the answers to his questions.

It was messy and rough, but also sweet and warm.

Christian reacted strongly, kissing me back with even more fervor. The next moment, I felt him lift me off the ground and carry me to the elevator.

"Christian, what about if people see you?" I asked with slight concern. He was popular enough that a scandal like this could easily appear on every magazine cover around the world.

"It’s fine. I’ll handle it," he said calmly, continuing forward with me in his arms.

He walked with me in his arms all the way to the car that was waiting outside. While a few people looked at us, most of them assumed that I had injured my foot and needed to be carried.

I made sure to wear my sunglasses, on the off chance someone recognized Christian, but thankfully, the car was only a few steps away.

In the car, Christian’s hand never left mine. In fact, if he could, he would have me sit in his lap for the whole ride to the hotel.

"What did you two talk about? I noticed Cherie was whispering to you," he asked suddenly.

I thought about whether or not I should tell him the truth, but then I figured, why not?

"She was questioning me. She was suspicious of why you were out on a romantic horseback ride with your fiancée’s sister," I smiled.

"What did you tell her?"

My lips curved into a teasing smile, "Oh, nothing much. I just said that the great Christian Vittoria has a crippling addiction to my pussy."

Noticing my teasing tone, he let out a laugh, "Oh, so you told her the truth?"

I laughed, shaking my head. I loved how well we could banter back and forth without batting an eye.

"I told her that I was very close with my sister, and that she must have begged you to take me out somewhere nice on her behalf."

He placed a kiss on my cheek. "I liked your first answer better."

We finally arrived at the hotel, and as soon as we got out of the car, Christian lifted me back into his arms.

"Forgive me sweetheart, but I have a crippling addiction that I need to feed."

Even through the humor of his words, I felt my body heat up.

It seems that you’re not the only one with the addiction.

The moment we got back into the room, Christian placed me on the sofa while pulling the dress off my body.

In the blink of an eye, we were both naked and wrapped around each other. Sounds of moving furniture, along with our moans, quickly filled the room.
