I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 263

After Alice opened the door, she uttered in a soft voice, "Kingsley, you're finally back. I was so worried about you…"

"I'm alright, Alice." Kingsley pointed to Room 604 next door. "Did Beau go in?"

"Mhm. He did." She nodded. "I heard him scream… He sounded tragic..."

Kingsley couldn't help laughing when he heard that. "Why is he so quiet now? Could he have died?"

"I don't think so." She took a step closer to Kingsley and made a guess in a low voice. "The soundproofing in this hotel is good. It is probably because his voice has become quieter that we can't hear him..."

Alice had already changed into creamy white silk pajamas. The light fabric clung to her body, making exquisite curves faintly discernible.

Kingsley looked at her, and he subconsciously gulped when he smelled the unique fragrance drifting off her skin.

"Don't worry about him, Alice. Let's… take a bath and go to sleep..."

Even though he had remained calm, or even indifferent when he was seduced by Xaria in the corridor just now, he couldn't possibly not have any sort of physical reaction.

At the end of the day, Kingsley Nicholson was just a normal man.

It was entirely because of his vigilance and wariness against strangers that he controlled his impulses and did not fall for Xaria's honey trap.

However, he didn't need to have his guard up against Alice.

Furthermore, the impossibly sensual curves of her body were too distracting for his eyes to not linger.

In that instant, the impulses that he had suppressed from earlier on suddenly rushed up to his head.

"Kingsley…"

Alice's face gradually flushed red when she noticed the subtle change in his gaze.

"I already showered. I'm going to bed first!"

After throwing that out, she jogged back to the bed, and quickly wormed her way under the covers.

Kingsley took a deep breath then, and he turned around and entered the bathroom to take a short cold shower.

His shower was almost as fast as the time he did his training in military camp.

Two minutes later, he waltzed out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. Sweeping his hand through his wet hair, he murmured, "Are you really going to sleep so soon, Alice? It is so rare that we finally have the chance to be alone!"

Hearing his words, she poked her head out to take a peek. "But I—"

She stopped talking halfway through.

The Kingsley standing in front of her only had a white towel on to cover the lower part of his body.

With his defined, stout muscles in plain sight for her to see, Alice could almost feel his domineering male hormones seeping out of his body.

He looked down at his abdominal muscles before he chuckled. "What's wrong, Alice? Are you captivated by my body?"

"Kingsley…" She slowly sat up, her eyes watery. "The scars on your body…"

What shocked her was not his excellent muscles, but the numerous scars all over his body.

Knife scars, gunshot scars, burn scars, frostbite scars...

There were even electricity and chemical scars!

"What is all this, Kingsley?" She covered her red lips and muttered in a choked voice, "Why do you have so many injuries?"
