Chapter 357

Marilla heard the heavy footfalls behind her, yet she dared not turn around. Instead, she hugged her slender, soft shoulders, shivering like a frightened little rabbit.

It only made Jareth appear more tall and strong, like a big bad wolf ready to pounce.

“Marilla.” His voice was strained, the corners of his eyes reddening.

He slowly lifted his trembling hand, longing to touch the girl’s silky skin. Just then, Marilla quietly said, ‘I’ve just showered, and I need to apply some body lotion. I’ve done everywhere except my back. Otherwise, I would have been ready for bed, waiting for you.”

Jareth listened to her, his cheeks flushing, his fingertips tingling. All his senses seemed to be shutting down.

He had seen many women in his life, some completely naked and flirtatious, others throwing themselves at him. But none of them ever made his heart pound like this, leaving

him at a loss.

“Jareth, will you help me with the lotion?” Marilla’s thin shoulders shivered as she asked quietly.

“Marilla, may 17”

May 17

His breath was heavy, filled with longing. Marilla bit her lower lip, slowly lowering her arms that were guarding her body, and nodded.

Jareth’s heart pounded as he reached for the body lotion. He squeezed some onto his palm and carefully began to spread it on the girl’s porcelain–like skin with his large blue vein–covered hand.

“I won’t do anything, I won’t do anything.”

This was his ultimate test.

His fingertips trembled as he repeated the mantra in his head, suppressing his burning desire. But when he touched Marilla, all his restraint melted away. He abruptly pulled the soft and white body into his arms, his eyes glowing with desire.

“Jareth.” Marilla’s call was barely a whisper, her cheeks flushed like she was slightly drunk.

“Don’t say my name.” The man’s voice was raspy, causing her heart to race.

“Jareth.”

“Say my name again, and I don’t know what I’ll do, Marilla.”

“Jareth.”

The next moment, Marilla found herself lifted off the ground.

Jareth’s strong hands gripped her waist. He placed her on the polished edge of the bathtub where a towel was conveniently placed. Her butt happened to be put on it.

Marilla became crimson, her lips quivering in an enticing manner.

The man’s rough hands left red marks on her waist, which spread further, staining her trembling body with a seductive hue.

“Uh.”

Marilla struggled to find her balance, her hands gripping Jareth’s toned waist, her arms wrapping around his neck.
