Chapter 626:

"That was ancient history," Jayden chuckled. "I certainly didn't feel attractive in that wheelchair."

Overcome with emotion, he confessed sincerely, "You were the only one who saw any worth in me."

Elyse gazed intently at Jayden, then quickly slipped her arm under his chin, tugging his tie to pull him into a kiss. Jayden paused briefly before reciprocating, wrapping an arm around her waist and the other behind her head, deepening the kiss.

Elyse felt Jayden's arousal and gently stopped his wandering hand. Their passionate kiss left a silvery trail between their lips as they parted.

Elyse breathed heavily. "I still can't do it right now. Please be patient."

Jayden's eyes shimmered with a crimson hue. He hadn't been intimate with Elyse for some time, having held back due to her pregnancy and his concern for her and the baby's well-being. However, even after their loss, Elyse's body needed time to heal.

Taking a shaky breath, Jayden tenderly touched Elyse's lips with his finger. Under his intense gaze, she visibly tensed, each touch sending shivers through her.

Whispering softly in her ear, his voice honey-sweet, he murmured, "Be a good girl and help me with that pretty little mouth of yours." He playfully nibbled her earlobe, pulling her closer.

Elyse's cheeks flushed crimson. "Later, Jayden," she murmured breathlessly. "This isn't the right place."

Jayden's expression tightened slightly. "Not the right place? This is my office. You could also call it your office. It's our company."

Embarrassment and annoyance flickered across Elyse's face. "But you just said it yourself—this is an office!"

Jayden's voice became pleading and flirtatious. "But it's swollen down there. Can you bear to watch me suffer?"

Elyse was speechless, wondering where he'd learned such coquetry. Her jaw tightened, but she remained firm. "I don't want to do this in the office."

Jayden's voice dropped to a low, husky tone. "Oh? Okay, then follow me. That room will do."

Elyse followed the somewhat bewildered Jayden to a seemingly ordinary wall. She watched in astonishment as he pressed a hidden panel, revealing a secret door. As it swung open, they saw the room beyond.

"I sometimes stay here after working late," Jayden explained, ushering Elyse inside. "It has everything we need, including privacy."

Elyse quickly surveyed the room before turning back to Jayden, who shut the door, his eyes shining with anticipation. Realizing Jayden had been restraining himself, and after a moment's hesitation, Elyse nodded in agreement.

Jayden helped Elyse out of her coat, revealing her snug wool dress. He looked at her with intense admiration, captivated by her voluptuous figure and alluring curves.

He gently led Elyse to the bed's edge. Looking up at him, her eyes sparkled with anticipation and swirling emotions.

As Jayden caressed her, he whispered, "How much longer until you're ready?"

Elyse took a deep breath. "Take off your pants."

Jayden's eyes twinkled with mischief as he feigned shock. "Why don't you do it for me?" he teased.

"Don't be difficult, take them off yourself!" Elyse playfully punched his chest.

Jayden collapsed onto the bed, grinning widely. "If you want them off, you'll have to do it. I won't," he proclaimed.

In that instant, Elyse realized he was thoroughly enjoying being teased, casting her in the role of assertive initiator.

Rolling her eyes, Elyse knelt and skillfully unzipped Jayden's pants. As she faced his manhood, her determination faltered briefly. ... ... ...
