Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 147 You’re Degrading Yourself

Originally, Aurora only intended to make Hayden understand the feelings she had back then, but under Julian's flirtation, she genuinely began to react. A soft moan escaped her, which only fueled Julian's wicked thoughts further.

Hayden's fingers clenched tightly, his palms marked with blood from his own nails. He had never imagined that one day Aurora would find pleasure in the arms of another man. Now, here they were, reacting to each other in such a place. She had changed. She was no longer the little girl he had once adored.

"When did you develop this taste, Uncle Julian?" Hayden interrupted, his voice breaking through. He feared he might lose his mind if this continued.

Hearing him, Julian realized why Aurora, who had initially resisted, was now reciprocating. He released her and carefully adjusted her skirt before turning around. "Having a beauty in one's arms is truly irresistible," he remarked, his arm still firmly around Aurora's slender waist.

Aurora leaned lazily against him, reaching up to wipe the lipstick from Julian's mouth. "Look at you. Always in such a hurry, making us the subject of ridicule," she chided, implying that such encounters were common for them.

Hayden thought about how in the past, the most he had ever done was hold her hand, and kisses were just pecks on her cheek. The only kiss they shared was light. And now, Aurora was openly engaging in such acts with a man on a balcony, stirring a mix of emotions within him.

"Which man could hold back with such a tempting woman around?" Julian said slyly, their banter piercing Hayden's heart like thorns.

"Aurora, I need to speak with you," Hayden suddenly said, his tone icy.

Aurora smiled lazily, "But I thought we had already said all there was to say."

Hayden remained silent, his cold gaze fixed on her, clearly unwilling to leave without her consent.

"Fine, Julian, why don't you wait for me inside? I'd like to hear what Mr. Alvarez has to say," Aurora suggested lightly.
