Chapter 169 - Reward and Punishment

The drive on the way home was silent. No one initiated a conversation with them. Erick was very serious while focusing on the road. Elle did not know what to say so she kept quiet during the entire duration of their journey.

She was wondering if Erick was still mad. He did not ask her anything nor scold her for what happened. 

'What is running on his mind right now?' Elle could not help but ponder.

Looking at his fiery eyes, she chuckled inwardly. She found the angry him more attractive and hot. She stole glances at him from time to time. She really felt guilty right now.

'I think the confrontation will happen at home.' Elle took a deep breath as she decided to close her eyes and take a nap.

But in just a few minutes, she woke up while feeling so hot. Feeling uncomfortable, she removed the blanket around her body. She started to sweat.

"Erick, can you please set the air con at a lower temperature?" Elle pleaded in her hoarse voice.

Erick turned to see Elle frowned with discomfort on her seat. He gave her a worried look as he lowered the temperature inside the car.

"Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" he asked her softly.

"Yes. I am fine," she replied as she gave him a reassuring smile.

Sweats broke out on her forehead and she mopped it away with her forearm. Her body was on fire.

'What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like my body is having a fever?' 

Elle's eyes widened as a realization came to her.

'D*mn, I think the drug just took effect right now. I almost forgot about it.'

Her breathing became more erratic. She was trying to calm herself and keep her composure but it was hard. Her rationality was slowly fading away.

She averted her gaze to the man beside her. She had the urge to throw herself and pounce on him right now. She wanted to devour the gorgeous man before her.

She bit her lower lip and clenched her fists, trying to control and stop herself from doing the things in her mind right now.

She felt hot and she wanted to strip down her clothes right now. A wave of arousal began rising inside her body. She needed a release.

She gulped although her throat was dry. She was staring intently at Erick as her eyes swirled with arousal. She wanted to stop the car right now and get up from her seat and sit on his lap. She was thinking of making out with him in this car, right at this moment.

'D*mn Elle! For goodness' sake, have a grip of yourself. You are on the road.' she scolded herself.

"Ahem...Erick, can you drive faster please?" Elle requested him, her voice was raspy.

Erick glanced at her confusedly.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just want to go home now and have a rest." she lied.

Erick nodded at her before he sped up. After a few minutes, they arrived at home. Elle sighed in relief when the car stopped in front of their house. She praised herself for holding up that long.

They soon entered the house. The moment she breathed in his irresistible male scent, her self control broke down like a balloon that burst out when pricked by a sharp object.

When the door was shut behind them, Erick was greeted immediately by Elle's warm lips. She pushed him on the closed door and started kissing him passionately.

Erick's eyes widened in shock because of her sudden attack. Seconds later, Erick began to return her kiss but he allowed her to take the lead. Her tongue moved inside his mouth with eagerness. She was driving him crazy.

With her remaining rationality, Elle pulled away, her face was flushed. He was waiting for Elle to speak up. From her look, he could see that she has something to say to him.

"Hmm, Erick, the truth is I was drugged by them. And I felt like I am burning inside." she told him truthfully.

'That's explain her aggressiveness just now.' Erick thought to himself. He patted her head gently as he looked at her helplessly.

"Alright, I will call Dr. Gomez right now to come over and bring you some medicine to counter the effect of that drug."

Elle blinked several times. That was not the response she was expecting from him. She pouted and made up a pitiful face.

'What I need right now is you, not a medicine.'

She wanted to object but she decided to keep silent as Erick already dialed Dr. Gomez number.

Soon the call got connected. Erick told Dr. Gomez of the situation and he understood everything. He told Erick that he was on his way to deliver the medicine.

Elle stayed rooted in her spot with her unhappy expression flashed on her beautiful face. She was now glaring at him. Erick gave her a questioning look.

After a while, her lips curved into a playful smile as an idea popped into her mind. Without saying a word, she pulled him toward the living room with eagerness.

"Let's play some more while waiting for Dr. Gomez to come," Elle said as she pushed Erick on the couch.

Elle immediately sat on his lap and whispered something to Erick who was taken aback by her action.

"I have to reward you for saving me my dear love." her hot breath brushed into his ear.

"You are so freaking hot there my love while beating that worthless guy. D*mn, I have the urge to ravish you now," she said with her sweet and sensual voice.

Her desire for him was brimming in her eyes and consuming her thoughts. Her arousal grew by seconds.

Looking at her passionate eyes, Erick knew that he was also on the edge of his self-control. He met her gaze. He could not help himself but smile at her playfulness.

"I think I also need to punish you right now," Erick said with his deep and raspy voice. There was a hint of possessiveness in his eyes.

He bent to shower her kisses. He wrapped his hands around her waist as his mouth traveled over her neck. Elle m.o.a.ned as his lips attached to her skin, his warm breath sending a shiver down her spine.

Her scent was alluring and intoxicating. His hardness seemed to be growing underneath. Elle could feel the thick proof of his arousal, hard against hers.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulder and at the back of his head, gripping his hair as she pulled him closer towards her body, their bodies grinding over each other. 

'My beloved man is learning. He also knew how to give good punishment.' Elle smiled from that thought.

Erick's hand slid up her blouse, moving towards her b.r.e.a.s.t as he continued to ravish her lips. She shivered as her mind followed the trails of his burning hand on her bare skin. His other hand was rubbing her back.

She gasped in between their kiss when she felt his hand already met the thin fabric of her bra, shoving its lacy cup. Her w.o.m.b clenched and her h.i.p.s flexed on top of him the moment his hand touched her bare b.r.e.a.s.t.

His hand became more playful, caressing, massaging, and squeezing her b.r.e.a.s.t gently. Soft m.o.a.ns escaped her mouth as she felt the pleasure pouring down on her like the rain. 

Afterward, Erick started to unbutton her blouse, removing and dropping it on the floor. Leaving her lips, Erick's lips traced over her neck down to her shoulder, planting soft kisses. Elle's heart was beating so fast.

Elle stopped him for a moment as she lifted the hem of his shirt. Understanding her purpose, Erick took off his shirt exposing his defined muscular build. He threw his shirt on the floor.

Elle could not help herself but run her hands down his bare chest, admiring the gorgeous man in front of her. She trailed the mark left by surgery on his body. 

She pressed her hand on his chest, feeling his pounding heart. Her heart ached for him, knowing that his life was put in danger because of her... because he tried to catch her. She was afraid to lose this man. She loved him so much.

Erick caressed her cheek with his thumb as he noticed her troubled expression visible on her face.

"Do you like what you are seeing right now? Are you done feasting your eyes with my body? Can you give me my reward now?" Erick cracked some joke, trying to lighten her mood.

Elle's laughter and giggle bubbled up in the entire living room.

"Shameless, impatient, and too demanding huh!" she said as she raised her brow. Erick just chuckled at her remarks.

Elle closed their distance as she leaned over to seal his lips with another passionate kiss.

However, just seconds after they resumed their intimate moment, their heated passion was interrupted by the ringing sound of the doorbell.
