Chapter 2 Enter The Wrong Room

In the elevator, Ashley called Yasmin to tell her to head back first. They chatted for a while, and then Ashley ended the call. The elevator stopped at the 50th floor. When she stepped out, Ashley saw the lights overhead spin a little. Dizzy, she made her groggy way to Room 606, which matched the number on her key card. Ashley pushed the door open and stumbled in. What she did not realize was that she entered the room without even using her key card.

Sleep began to claim Ashley as soon as her back touched the soft, incredibly comfortable bed. However, she couldn't fall asleep because her body felt uncommonly hot. With a low whine, she began pulling her dress, sighing in contentment as the fabric was lifted from her skin. At that moment, Joseph Marshall exited the bathroom to the sight of a strange woman lying spread-eagled on his bed and pulling her dress.

Contempt filled him as he surveyed this scene. Joseph despised women who used their bodies to curry favors. Granted, the woman's outfit appeared to be on the conservative side, but her actions implied otherwise. 'Looks like Zachary has a death wish.' Joseph approached the luxurious bed with the intention of kicking the unknown woman out of the room. However, as soon as his hand touched her arm, Ashley threw her arms around his neck.

At that moment, Joseph froze. Owing to the shower he had just taken, his skin felt cool to the touch. Ashley's body instinctively arched against him, seeking comfort from the unbearable heat burning under her skin.

Joseph's handsome face darkened. Upon closer inspection, Jason did not find the woman to be repulsive. She had a delicate face with fair, porcelain-fine skin devoid of heavy makeup. His nose did not detect any cloying perfume; instead, a light, pleasant scent teased his senses. Even so, he never liked having intimate contact with women. Thus, Joseph forcibly pulled Ashley's arms from his neck and threw her on the bed.

"You're hateful. Damn bear, why won't you let me hold you?" Ashley muttered in a child-like voice, her eyes still closed. In her mind, she was lying on the bed in her apartment. The bear she was referring to was a stuffed toy as tall as she was; she usually hugged the bear while sleeping. Just now, in her subconscious state, Ashley thought that the man was her bear.

'Bear? Is she crazy?' His brow frowned in irritation. Joseph looked at the woman who was still rolling on his bed. He needed to get rid of this reckless person fast. The heat inside Ashley had become unbearable, and she wished her dress would just disappear so that she could feel some relief. Therefore, she did what she thought.

With a ferocious scowl on his face, Joseph decided to haul the woman out of his room when the sight of her fair, slender legs were suddenly revealed to him.

Ashley's beautiful face and scantily-clad body proved to be his downfall. Joseph could feel his manhood swell up and take notice.

"You asked for this," Joseph said in a firm voice. He decided to teach the woman a lesson. Even if he hated the situation, he found the woman rather attractive, and her odd attempt at seduction succeeded to lure him in. It was time to have a taste.

As Joseph's body covered hers, Ashley was actively seeking something cold against her. As her senses were enveloped by the cool skin and masculine feel of the man above her, she arched her back to burrow closer into the blessed cold.

Finally, their two bodies came together.

The presence of a barrier as he plunged into the woman's body stunned Joseph. The last thing he expected was for the seductress on his bed to be a virgin, and he felt an inexplicable relief at the discovery. However, the thought soon flew out of his head.

At Ashley's groan of pain, he commanded his body to move in slow, gentle motions. After who knew how many times, the heat in Ashley's body was finally sated, but she passed out from exhaustion.

Eventually, Joseph drifted off to sleep, his body pleasantly sore from exertion and he was deeply satisfied.
