?Chapter 548:


    As Kaiden’s hand gently caressed her thigh, Ellie wrapped a leg around his waist. In a swift motion, he lifted her onto the small cab by the door, elevating her above him.


    His eyes caught the sight of her delicate, enticing corbones. He couldn’t resist leaving a gentle mark there.


    “Who’s taken over the auction house?” he asked, his curiosity piqued.


    “Kristopher Wright.”


    Kristopher Wright? The name was new to Kaiden. He mentally noted it down, his tone slightly edgy as he asked, “He’s a man, right?”


    With a mischievous smile, Ellie wrapped her arms around his neck. “Yes, and he’s quite handsome!” she teased.


    Kaiden’s expression shifted, a hint of jealousy flickering across his face. “But you’re handsome too!” Ellie quickly reassured him with a kiss.


    “I don’t really know him. The next time I see him, I’ll pay him for what I purchased today.”


    She had decided it wasn’t the right time to do that, not with so many people around.


    Ellie was skeptical about the idea of someone giving her hundreds of millions of dors for no reason. Their paths were bound to cross again.


    Kaiden let out a snort, yfully biting her earlobe. “Yourpliments seem a bit insincere, Ellie. Haven’t you noticed?”


    “Really?” she replied, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Suddenly, she turned her head and gently licked his Adam’s apple.


    As Ellie felt the hands around her waist tighten, she sensed a change in Kaiden’s demeanor. His body tensed, and he halted his kisses, gazing at her with a look of bewildered surprise, as if startled by something unexpected.


    Leaning closer, her voice a sultry whisper, she teased, “Kaiden, your Adam’s apple is quite striking.” It was her yful way of offering praise.

    “You’re asking for it, Ellie!” Kaiden barely finished his sentence when the sound of fabric tearing filled the room. Ellie’s skin, now exposed to the cool air, contrasted sharply with the warmth of Kaiden’s palm, sending shivers through her. The suddenness of it all was overwhelming for Ellie.


    “Kaiden… let’s not rush,” she gasped, her breath unsteady, regretting her flirtatious behavior. She wondered if she had unwittingly provoked him. Ultimately, it seemed she would have to be the one to diffuse the situation.


    “I’m not in a rush,” Kaiden replied, his voice steady. If not for his actions, his words might have seemed more convincing. Ellie gently patted his shoulder, trying to soothe him. Beneath her touchy the solid strength of his muscles.


    “Wait, just wait!”


    “Ellie, is this really the time to ask me to wait?” Kaiden’s voice was strained, but he took a deep breath and halted, remembering a past incident when he had been less considerate. He exerted control over himself, asking gently, “What’s the matter?” His thoughtfulness unexpectedly made Ellie feel a twinge of guilt.


    “No, it’s just… be a bit… more gentle,” she murmured.
