Chapter 99

Naomi lazily said, “He invited me to dinner to thank me for closing one of his cases. His secretary was with him, so it wasn't just the two of us.”

Brendan continued massaging her back, pressing on both sides of her spine. He said, “I don’t care if his secretary was there or not. Stay away from him.” He intentionally applied more pressure as he spoke.

“Ouch, that hurts! Brendan, be gentle,” Naomi complained. “Staying away from him… Isn’t that what I’m doing? But let’s see if you can satisfy me tonight. If you can, I’ll be yours from now on. If you can’t, I can’t guarantee I won’t have a wandering eye,” she teased. Brendan promptly smacked her buttocks.

“Gentle,” she reminded him, knowing her buttocks probably bore a few finger marks.

After a brief silence, as Brendan moved his hands down to her lower back, Naomi said, eyes closed, “Lower, a bit lower.”

Brendan glanced at her and continued downward. Naomi urged, “A bit lower.”

He increased the pressure, but when his fingers reached the edge of her shorts, Naomi stiffened.

Seeing her reaction, Brendan leaned close and whispered, “Should I go lower? Should I go inside?”

Naomi was taken aback. She’d intended to tease him, knowing he’d get shy when she was shameless. However, this time, he seemed even more shameless than her.

Pretending to remain calm, she opened her eyes, but Brendan remarked, “Naomi, you’re blushing! You’re blushing so much it looks like it’ll bleed.”

Despite her efforts, her face reddened further. Brendan’s hand continued to move lower. Naomi held her breath and grabbed his hand. “Brendan, you…”

He didn’t withdraw his hand. Instead, chuckling, he said, “My foreplay has just begun.”

Naomi was surprised. She’d thought he’d be unskilled, but he was quite adept. She was considering how to gain the upper hand when he leaned in for a kiss.

After half an hour, Brendan used a tissue from the bedside table to clean himself, then discarded it. Opening his robe, he said casually, “You should be satisfied with the foreplay. I recall someone saying a while back that if I came home early, I could do it until dawn.”

Chapter 99

Naomi lay on the bed, her hair disheveled and motionless on her stomach. Although still wearing panties, it was evident Brendan had thoroughly… attended to her. He was quite shameless indeed.

Naomi had initially resisted, but when he became serious, she realized the vast difference in strength between men and women—a difference she hadn’t noticed before with others.

Brendan briskly tossed his pajamas on the floor while Naomi quickly grabbed the thin blanket, wrapping herself securely. “I’ve exceeded my physical limit for today. Let’s continue tomorrow.”

A scowl formed on Brendan’s face. “But I haven’t even begun to enjoy myself yet.” He bent down and pinched her chin.

Naomi pulled the blanket tighter. “I promise we’ll continue tomorrow.”

Brendan had pushed her boundaries, and Naomi was intimidated. She sensed his lingering upset about her dinner with Maximus and felt he’d deliberately teased her. She was reluctant, but genuinely tired.

Brendan laughed at her predicament. Pinching her chin again, he asked, “Naomi, are you playing games with me?”

Naomi wrapped herself tighter. “You scratched me with your nails just now. Let me recover.”

At her mention of the scratches, he became nervous and pulled at the blanket. “Let me see.”

She tightened the blanket further. “There’s no need to look. I know what’s going on. I’ll make it up to you when I’m feeling better tomorrow.”

Shirtless, Brendan stared at her for a moment before kicking her. “Damn it, Naomi! So, you were just looking for some free foreplay!”
