<h4>Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Hot, So Hot</h4><h4></h4>


    Orion checked the room temperature and deliberately raised it a few degrees.


    Already feeling overheated, Chloe’s body grew even hotter due to Orion’s adjustment.


    She could never have imagined that Orion and Lucas would conspire together toce her water with Flibanserin.


    At this moment, Chloe’s mind was still preupied with Lucas and Sunny booking a hotel room together.


    She was intensely focused on listening to the noisesing from the room next door.


    For this reason, she didn’t immediately notice the growing heat within her own body.


    But it wasn’t long before Chloe’s forehead was covered in a thinyer of sweat.


    She raised her hand to wipe her forehead, only then realizing she was perspiring profusely.


    "Why am I so hot?"


    Still unaware of Orion’s true intentions, Chloe absentmindedlyined.


    "Let me check to see if you’re sick or running a fever,"


    Orion seized the opportunity and stepped forward to examine her.


    He deliberately stretched out his hand to lightly brush against Chloe’s skin.


    "Hiss!"


    The moment Orion’s hand touched her, Chloe couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.


    She felt the cool touch of Orion’s hand, sharply contrasting with the zing heat of her body—so soothing, soforting.


    Orion was cunning, purposely reaching to touch Chloe’s forehead and not any other part of her body.


    Things had to proceed step by step, slowly and methodically; haste would ruin everything.


    "Could I really have a fever?"


    Under his seemingly innocent actions, Chloe didn’t notice anything unusual. Instead, she began to genuinely wonder if she might be ill.


    At the same time, the soothing sensation of the cool touch only amplified the fiery difort she felt internally.


    "Hang on, I’ll go ask the hotel staff for a thermometer to check your temperature,"


    Orion nced at Chloe, recalling Lucas’s words, knowing the Flibanserin hadn’t yet reached its peak effect.


    He used this as an excuse to stall for time, got up, closed the door, and headed out to request a thermometer from the hotel staff.


    Orion jogged down the hallway, finding the hotel staff and retrieving a thermometer in less than two minutes.


    However, once he returned to the room’s entrance, he didn’t go back inside immediately. Instead, he lingered at the doorway, waiting.


    As he waited, he kept an eye on the time, calcting when the drug wouldpletely take effect. Only then did he push the door open and walk in.


    Sure enough, Chloe was now lying on the bed.


    The white shirt she was wearing had been soaked through withyers of sweat, clinging ufortably to her body.


    She reached out with her hands and began unbuttoning her shirt.


    The overpowering heat and difort had taken full control of Chloe’s body and mind. At this point, she wasn’t even thinking about Orion’s brief departure to fetch the thermometer.


    When Orion walked in, he saw Chloe lying on the bed, her shirt unbuttoned, revealing the tantalizing, subtle curve of her chest.


    "!"


    Orion froze mid-step, swallowing hard several times.


    "Hot! So hot!"


    Chloe continued to mutter over and over about the heat.


    Orion smirked. He was certain, absolutely certain, that the moment had arrived.


    Clutching the thermometer in his hand, he walked over.


    "Alright, Chloe, I’ve got the thermometer. Let’s check your temperature,"


    Orion sat down on the bed, pulling Chloe up from the mattress, and began positioning the thermometer for her.


    Of course, handling the thermometer was the perfect opportunity.


    He wouldn’t miss it for the world!
