Chapter 211:
Heat flushed across Sophie’s cheeks as she bit her lip and whispered, “Okay p>
The moment carried the weight of all the times they had missed before. Misunderstandings had stood between them, delaying what should have been theirs. They had been waiting for this for far too long.
Drawing in a shaky breath, Sophie leaned forward, arms slipping around Adrian’s neck as she offered him her lips.
Adrian’s gaze darkened, and the air left his chest in heavy bursts. Their kiss ignited like a flame striking tinder, growing wild and consuming in its heat.
With a sudden motion, Adrian gripped her hips and lifted her against him. A startled cry escaped Sophie, and her legs hooked around his waist as she clung to him, burying her face in the curve of his shoulder.
Close to her ear, Adrian let out a husky laugh and muttered, “Nervous p>
Her reply came quickly and sharply. “W-who’s nervous p>
Without loosening his hold, he deepened the kiss as they drifted from the living room toward the bedroom, each step marked with ragged breaths that filled the air between them.
Onto the mattress Sophie went, landing softly against the sheets. Flat on her back, she panted, her chest rising fast, eyes glimmering with an unspoken invitation.

Predatory intensity flickered in Adrian’s stare as he leaned down, pressing close, his knee sliding firmly between her thighs. Heat followed the path of his mouth, traveling down her neck, biting lightly at her collarbone, and branding her skin with marks that lingered.
Helpless under the storm of his kisses, Sophie gripped the sheets, her body melting while her eyes stayed shut in flustered surrender.
Still, Adrian wouldn’t relent, his palm slipping beneath her shirt and leaving sparks in every place it wandered. Clumsy attempts followed as his fingers fought with the clasp behind her back, the small hook refusing to yield.
“Damn… how does this thing even open?” A rough, frustrated growl rumbled from him.
Desire clouded them both, urgency stripping away any trace of thought.
Breathless and flushed, Sophie tried to gather herself. “I-I’ll just take them off…” Her hands pressed at his chest in protest, though her voice shook.
Impatience snapped his restraint. Fabric tore as Adrian yanked her shirt apart without waiting. Loose buttons bounced across the floor, the ruined garment tossed aside like nothing.
With her back turned in haste, Sophie fumbled at the clasp herself, trembling so hard that speed only betrayed her. Burying her face in the pillow, she whispered faintly, “Can you help me p>
Labored breaths shook Adrian’s chest as his calloused fingers finally freed the stubborn clasp, exposing the gentle line of her back. A lump rose in his throat when he bent low to press a kiss against her skin.
His tongue followed the graceful curve of her spine, unhurried and searing, making her shudder uncontrollably. A quiet sound slipped past Sophie’s lips before she could stop it.
By then, Adrian’s hand had wandered beneath her skirt, finding its way without hesitation. Even through the thin fabric, his fingers came away slick with heat.
A low laugh rumbled from Adrian as he said, “Baby, you’re already wet. Were you this desperate for me all along p>
Just as he pulled his hand back, ready to flaunt the evidence of her arousal, his movements stalled at the sight of a stark red staining his fingertips.
For a heartbeat, he froze, eyes narrowing in surprise. “Wait… are you hurt p>
Sophie’s head snapped toward him. She followed his gaze to that unmistakable shade of crimson. Heat surged into her cheeks until she thought she might combust, the steady warmth between her thighs confirming the truth.
“Ah! Oh no! I-I completely forgot—my period… It’s right about now,” she exclaimed, clutching at her chest as she scrambled upright.
Scanning the room, she spotted her ruined shirt on the floor and felt despair well up. “My clothes!” she said, voice breaking with helplessness.
