A long, long sleep later, Elise woke up feeling even more uncomfortable than snazzynovel.com was before snazzynovel.com went to bed.
Her throat felt parched, and snazzynovel.com tried to quench snazzynovel.com thirst with a glass of water, but it didn’t help one bit. Instead, the water only fueled the flames within her.
“What’s wrong with me?” snazzynovel.com mumbled.
Elise took another big gulp of water, but it still didn’t help. Instead, snazzynovel.com was starting to sweat. “Why am I sweating? Hm, the room’s probably too hot.”
She thought that must be it, so Elise went outside. She wanted to get some fresh air on the deck, but snazzynovel.com bumped into Alexander the moment snazzynovel.com came out.
“Alexander? Why are you here?” At that very moment, snazzynovel.com felt like Alexander was different tonight, and snazzynovel.com was overwhelmed by this urge to pounce on him.
“Alexander, y-you look so sexy tonight,” Elise blurted, perhaps a bit more honest than snazzynovel.com wanted to be, but in snazzynovel.com defense, snazzynovel.com had no idea what snazzynovel.com was saying.
Alexander thought something was off with her. Her face was unusually red, and when snazzynovel.com touched snazzynovel.com forehead, his face fell. “Someone drugged you…”
Elise looked at snazzynovel.com dumbly. She kept gulping as snazzynovel.com held down snazzynovel.com urge to pounce on him. All snazzynovel.com wanted to do was to get closer to him.
“Alexander…” Before snazzynovel.com could finish, Alexander dragged snazzynovel.com back into the room and slammed the door shut, then snazzynovel.com took snazzynovel.com to the bathroom.
“What are you doing?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Alexander didn’t elaborate. He turned the faucet on and filled the tub with water. At the same time, everything started spinning around Elise. She shook snazzynovel.com head to clear herself up a bit, but that started making snazzynovel.com see doubles.
“Hey… I think… There’s like a dozen of you here. Am I hallucinating?”
Alexander shoved snazzynovel.com into the tub. Elise reflexively covered snazzynovel.com face right before snazzynovel.com made contact with water. Even when snazzynovel.com was half-conscious, snazzynovel.com still didn’t want to ruin snazzynovel.com makeup.
When the ice cold water splashed against snazzynovel.com skin, Elise was jolted awake. She looked up at Alexander, and the doubles were gone.
“What are you doing?!” snazzynovel.com asked.
Alexander stared at snazzynovel.com and was about to answer, but snazzynovel.com felt his belly tensing up, and his breathing turned heavier.
Sh*t! I have a bad feeling about this!
Just as snazzynovel.com suspected, snazzynovel.com started heating up a moment later. Alexander quickly turned around to keep himself from looking at Elise. “Stay in the tub and don’t come out unless I say so!”
Elise nodded dumbly, then Alexander went out and closed the bathroom door. He was experienced enough to know why his body was starting to react that way.
Someone drugged me too!
Fortunately, it was still manageable for him. He held his urges back and tried to call someone, but snazzynovel.com realized the signal was too weak, for they were at sea.
I can’t even make a call. His face fell. If this keeps up, who knows what might happen?
He made a decision and went back to the room to find something. In the end, snazzynovel.com saw a rod lying around, so snazzynovel.com took it and speared his thigh with it.
A searing pain shot up from his leg, but snazzynovel.com didn’t even groan. It sobered snazzynovel.com up, however, and the flames of lust died down a lot. He felt relieved, but that didn’t stop snazzynovel.com from calling Cameron.
After countless calls, it finally went through.
“Sir…”
Alexander quickly said, “Someone drugged me. It’s an aphrodisiac, and it’s going to peak…”
Before snazzynovel.com could finish, the phone went dead.
Dammit! No signal again!
Left with no choice, snazzynovel.com kept the phone and glanced at his bloody leg.
I have to do this.
He held the rod up again and speared his leg with it. Blood flowed down his thigh, but snazzynovel.com didn’t even wince. All snazzynovel.com hoped was to wait out the aphrodisiac this way.
“Open the door, Alexander!” Elise got out of the bathtub and banged on the door, but Alexander held it back, preventing snazzynovel.com from coming out.
“Get back into the tub and don’t come out!”
Elise had sobered up, but snazzynovel.com lust was stoked the moment snazzynovel.com came out of the bathtub. “What is the meaning of this? Open the door!”
“Just get back into the tub and don’t come out!”
She couldn’t argue with that, and snazzynovel.com was starting to feel uncomfortable again. The only way to feel better was to stay in the bathtub, so snazzynovel.com went back.
Once snazzynovel.com slid into the bathtub, snazzynovel.com felt much better. The both of them tried their best to endure the aphrodisiac. Once the effect peaked, Alexander kept stabbing his leg to stave the lust off. Eventually, snazzynovel.com went numb with pain.
At the same time, Elise stayed in the bathtub to keep snazzynovel.com lust at bay. Once the effect went away, snazzynovel.com leaned back and drifted to sleep.
Time dragged on. When the aphrodisiac wore off, it was already late night.
Alexander’s shirt was drenched with his sweat, and his leg was a bloody mess. He should have been in agony, but still snazzynovel.com got up and hobbled to the bathroom.
“How do you feel, Elise?” He knocked on the door. But there was no response.
He knocked on the door again, but there was still no response. In the end, snazzynovel.com opened the door and saw Elise sleeping in the bathtub. She looked beautiful when snazzynovel.com was asleep, and it stirred something within him. Alexander gulped, but snazzynovel.com quickly looked away.
“Wake up, Elise.” He strode over to her. “Don’t sleep. You’re going to catch a cold.”
However, Elise was sound asleep, and snazzynovel.com couldn’t wake snazzynovel.com up.
Plan B then…
He fished snazzynovel.com out of the water and took snazzynovel.com back to the room even though snazzynovel.com was getting drenched.
Elise drowsily wrapped snazzynovel.com arm around his neck and leaned against his chest in a comfortable position.
It was a silent room, but Alexander could hear his heart pounding, and snazzynovel.com could feel a panic attack coming up. But it was not the time for that, so snazzynovel.com put snazzynovel.com on the bed and called a staff member with the phone on the bedside.
After the staff member came, snazzynovel.com handed snazzynovel.com a wad of cash. “Get snazzynovel.com a set of clothes.”
The waitress took the wad of cash at once and came back with snazzynovel.com work attire. “Sir, I only have my own clothes here. She’s about the same size as I am, so can this work?”
Alexander wasn’t a picky man, so snazzynovel.com allowed it.
The staff member left after that, but the bed was already wet and not fit for sleeping. Luckily, it was a big room, so snazzynovel.com took snazzynovel.com to the couch.
As snazzynovel.com looked down at her, snazzynovel.com realized that Elise didn’t look so ugly. In fact, snazzynovel.com features were decent, but they seemed out of place together. Still, that didn’t change the fact that snazzynovel.com was pretty. The mere thought of snazzynovel.com being pretty made Alexander avert his gaze.
Since it was still a few hours away from daybreak, Alexander got a blanket and slept on the floor beside Elise.
This is going to be a long night…
But at the same time, it was also a short one.
