Chapter 140
Nora presented Selina with a leaflet advertising a car racing competition. "You're so good at this! How about participating in this race in Ravencrest Mountain, Sokovis? It's only held every two years. I'm sure you'd surprise everyone. I'm really looking forward to it!"
Selina examined the leaflet, raising an eyebrow. "To participate, you need a defending champion's certificate from Clusia, regardless of nationality. It's not just for the wealthy; only the most competitive racers qualify."
Selina smiled. "Okay, I haven't raced in a while. I might as well kill some time preparing for this."
Nora exclaimed, "Selina, you can ride shotgun! How about—" She rolled her eyes, clearly brainstorming. Selina affectionately touched Nora's head. "If you don't get carsick, I'll consider giving you a ride." Nora hugged her. "Great! I know you're the best! Don't look at me like that. I love extreme sports; roller coasters are my thing!"
Returning home, Selina removed her shoes. Devin approached. "Mrs. Brady, Mr. Brady is in the living room. He wants to see you."
Selina asked, "Trevon's not in his study? Okay, I understand."
She found Trevon's unexpected presence unusual; he was usually a workaholic. Entering the living room cautiously, she saw him resting on the sofa, eyes closed. He murmured, "You're finally home," without opening his eyes, having evidently heard her approach. Selina moved furtively, but Trevon’s keen sense of smell detected her perfume.
She playfully leaped into his arms, leaning against his chest. She teasingly scratched his abdominal muscles through his shirt. "Honey, did you miss me?"
Trevon opened his eyes, a lazy smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, it's been torture." He embraced her and kissed her.
The kiss was swift and intense, leaving Selina breathless. She noted an improvement in his technique.
Afterward, Trevon playfully roared, "Honey, don't play with fire!"
Selina retorted, "You kissed me! You even kissed my lips! You're the villain! How dare you accuse me? You said your first kiss was with me. How did you get so skilled? It feels like you've kissed many women!"
Trevon countered, "Have you ever been kissed by someone who's kissed many women?"
Selina playfully flicked his nose. "Honey, you're changing the subject! No way!" She was careful not to press too hard; she cherished the curve of his nose.
Trevon chuckled, "It's a gift. Pleasing myself and my wife simultaneously."
Selina snorted, "Okay, but it doesn't make sense. I don't think you'd lie to me!"
Seeing her slight annoyance, Trevon hugged her tightly. "Before you got back, Susie called. She's grateful you found her and helped her. She feels much better."
Selina clamped her lips together. "Good. A few scumbags got what they deserved. Now Susie can finally sleep soundly."
Trevon suggested, "Shall we fulfill your wifely duties and sleep together?" He admitted to being captivated by her, his self-discipline momentarily forgotten. He relished her scent and the arousal it caused.
Selina hesitated, "Honey, we're still dating. Isn't this too fast?" She preferred to wait; their relationship was only a few months old, and she valued her virginity.
She announced, "I'm going to shower. I've been busy all day and I smell awful. See you later."
Trevon protested, "You don't. You smell wonderful. Just let me hug you a little longer." He held her close, burying his face in her hair. He’d waited hours alone, only to have her want to leave after a few minutes of conversation. He felt a pang of possessiveness.
Unable to resist his charming persistence and overwhelming strength, Selina surrendered, laying her head on his chest. Exhaustion and sleepiness overcame her, and she drifted off.
Trevon quietly watched her, noticing the slight flutter of her eyelashes. He kissed her again, interpreting this as complete acceptance. He recognized her as Charm, the notorious hacker, known for light sleep due to her dangerous profession.
He found her kiss intoxicating; her lips, soft and sweet as strawberries. Selina murmured in her sleep, showing no dislike for his closeness.
Seeing her completely relaxed, Trevon made his move.
The next morning, Selina awoke in Trevon’s arms. As she stirred, he woke as well. "You're up?" he murmured, gazing at her adoringly. "Honey, good morning. Seeing you first thing is wonderful."
