Chapter 986

Sidney leaned back against the bathtub, his abdominal muscles tense.

Both of them were drenched, water dripping from their bodies.

He held her waist firmly, his Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke.

"Maria, do you like this?"

Maria, exhausted, rested her head on his chest, her ears filled with the strong rhythm of his heartbeat. For some reason, her own heartbeat quickened.

"I do," she whispered.

Sidney asked again, "Do you prefer it faster or slower?"

Maria's face flushed a deep red. She lifted her head to look at him, meeting his intense eyes, which were focused on her, waiting for her response. He hadn't made any further move, just holding her in suspense, and it was driving her crazy. Maria said, "Sidney, when did you become so mischievous?"

Sidney's expression remained calm. "I'm not. I'm just asking for your opinion."

Still unmoving, the water in the tub gradually stilled.

Maria couldn't handle the tension any longer. Propping her hands on his shoulders, she straightened up, causing the water to ripple immediately, spilling over the edge of the tub and onto the floor.
