The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover - Chapter 154
Chapter 154: Shower Together
A lengthy document appeared… coded logs, financial routes, digital footprints. Her eyes darted across lines of data until one line froze her cold.
[ Dark Operation: Knight Group internal surveillance target — Axel Knight. ]
Her hand tightened around the phone. The room felt smaller.
Someone was watching Axel and tracking his movements from inside the Knight Group.
‘Why did Maxime want to watch Axel’s movement? What exactly happened in his family?’
She stared at the file again, reading the words twice, until the bathroom door opened behind her.
“Eve…?” Axel called casually, warmth in his tone and seeming unaware. “Could you find a towel for me? It looks like there’s no towel here at all.”
Evelyn blinked, her mind racing. She quickly locked her phone, casually set it on the bedside table, and smoothed her features into calm.
“Top drawer. Right side,” she replied calmly, smiling as she turned to face him, but her smile gradually faded when he saw his bare chest.
She silently swallowed, watching how effortlessly seductive he looked.
The sight of Axel standing there, half hidden by the bathroom door, only his bare chest, was enough to make her thoughts spin out of control.
If he opened that door just a little wider, she’d see everything.
Her heart raced, her breath catching in her throat.
Should she walk over and throw herself into his arms, or should she stay rooted where she stood like a fool?
Before she could decide, his laugh echoed, low and teasing. It jolted her out of her sultry thoughts.
“Nope. Nothing here,” he said casually.
Evelyn frowned.
“Really?” she asked, narrowing her eyes. She didn’t believe him for a second and began walking toward the bathroom.
She needs to check it herself because she remembers seeing a few towels neatly folded there last night.
As if reading her mind, Axel suddenly pulled the door wide open and exposed his naked body.
Her feet stopped instantly.
He stood there, water droplets glistening on his bare skin, every inch of him sculpted and perfect. The soft steam curled around his body like a sin waiting to happen.
Evelyn blinked, frozen in place. She could feel her pulse everywhere; fast, wild, uncontrollable.
Her face felt hot, and a delicious shiver ran down her spine.
Axel smiled. “Alright, come here.”
Before she could react, his hand caught hers and tugged her forward.
“W-What?” she stammered, her voice barely steady. “Axel—”
“We need to take a shower together to save time and water, Eve,” he said, completely straight-faced, as if it were the most logical thing in the world.
Her mouth opened to protest, but his grip stayed firm and warm, guiding her inside the shower room.
The moment she stepped in, the cool water hit her skin, and she gasped. Axel’s body was close enough that she could feel his heat even through the droplets.
He towered over her, effortlessly blocking the water from splashing her face, one hand braced against the wall beside her.
Evelyn’s heart is pounding, and she can feel her whole body now completely soaked. The steam wrapped around them, their skin slick and glistening.
Then,
Axel tilted his head slightly, eyes beaming with amusement and something deeper, something that made her heart beat even faster.
“You’re staring,” he murmured, a hint of teasing in his voice.
She tried to act composed.
“You’re the one standing naked in front of me,” she shot back, but her voice came out softer than she planned.
He chuckled, the sound deep and low. “You make it sound like you don’t like it.”
Her lips parted, ready to deny it, but no words came out.
His smile widened. “That’s what I thought.”
He leaned in closer, and for a brief moment, she felt like the universe paused.
The mix of water, warmth, and his closeness blurred every rational thought she had left.
Her pulse quickened when his fingers brushed her cheek, tracing a wet strand of hair away from her face.
His touch was gentle but carried enough intent to make every muscle fiber in her knees turn into tofu.
“A-Axel… didn’t you say you were in a hurry?” she finally managed to whisper, though her voice trembled. Her eyes still locked at his burning gaze, “Something about pancakes? Oliver—”
He didn’t let her finish, his lips claiming hers.
The kiss was intense and desperate, his mouth pressing against hers as if he’d been waiting for this moment.
She couldn’t resist his deep, slightly rough kiss. Instead, her hands rose and wrapped around his neck. His dominant lips enveloped hers, coaxing her stiff tongue. Her soft moan escaped her lips, only to make him kiss her even deeper.
Her heart thudded violently, and her hands instinctively gripped his shoulders.
The water cascaded around them, cool against the heat radiated from their tightly rubbed bodies.
When he deepened the kiss, she gasped softly, and he took full advantage of it, drawing her closer until there was no space left between them.
Her thoughts scattered completely.
All she could feel was him and his touch.
His warmth, his strength, the rough rhythm of his breath mixing with hers.
Every inch of her skin felt so warm, burned beneath his touch.
It makes her reckless, addictive, and every part of her screams that she shouldn’t enjoy it so much. But she did.
When the need for air finally forced her to pull away, she pressed a shaky hand to his chest.
“Axel,” she breathed hard, trying to catch her breath.
He looked down at her, his smile slow and devastating. “Yes, Mrs. Knight?”
Her lips curved despite her pounding pulse.
Axel leaned in until his lips brushed her ear.
“I can see you like it? Do you want to continue?” he asked as his hand began to unbutton her wet silk pajamas, slowly revealing her silky skin, her beautiful breasts.
Evelyn’s heart fluttered again… annoyingly, uncontrollably. She didn’t answer, only reaching for the shower controls to turn the water off.
But Axel caught her wrist before she could. “Not done yet.”
“Axel…” she warned, but her voice had lost all authority.
He just smiled.
“Relax. I’ll make it quick.”
“That’s what you said last time,” she muttered under her breath. “And we ended up doing that a few times.”
His grin widened, wicked and knowing. “Exactly.”
And just like that, her effort to stay calm fell apart.
The sound of running water gently filled the room again, blending softly with her series of moans as his hand was free to touch her, and no cloth was there to hold them back.
