Crystal's One Night of Love

Alfred got out of the car first and helped open the car door for her.

Melora’s fair and smooth neck was tensed up so much that he could see her veins bulging underneath the skin.

Alfred remained extremely patient as he waited for her to get out of the car.

Eventually, Melora stepped out of the car and walked past him without even a glance.

Her slender figure cast a long shadow under the dim lighting of the street lamps.

The leaves were starting to fall even though autumn had only just begun.

Alfred quickly closed the car door, ran up to her, and grabbed her wrist before pulling her into his embrace.

It was unclear if he failed to restrain himself due to the beautiful scenery around them or because of the silent night, but he definitely broke his promise of maintaining a distance.

With one hand cupping the back of her head, he pinned her body against the trunk of a tree and kissed her so aggressively that she could barely breathe.

“Let go of me, Alfred!”

Melora struggled while pushing against his shoulders with all her might, but she was unable to shove him off.

It wasn’t long before the scent of tobacco filled her nose and mouth.

His scent was all around her.

Despite how clean Alfred looked on the outside, she knew that his faint scent would linger on a person for a really long time.

After what seemed like forever, he stopped his aggressive kissing and loosened his grip on her.

What greeted his handsome face a second later was a hard slap that echoed throughout the silence of the night.

On top of being a womanizer, Alfred was also known for his bad temper.

All the women he had been with knew better than to talk back to him, let alone slap him.

Melora was the only one who dared hit him with all her might.

With reddened eyes, she looked the other way and shouted angrily, “You have no right to kiss me, Alfred! Who do you take me for? Did you bring me here just to have me continue being your mistress?”

Alfred touched the roof of his mouth with his tongue and realized it was bleeding.

My goodness! She sure packs a punch!

“I’m sorry! I couldn’t help it!” he apologized while staring deeply into her eyes.

It had been a long time since Alfred got intimate with her. He knew that his body clearly desired her. Even after all those years, he had yet to forget the intimate moments they used to have.

Of course, Alfred knew that he had crossed the line with that kiss and stopped himself from making any more advances.

“Let’s head upstairs. I have a document that requires your signature.”
