Chapter 239 Save Yourself Before It’s Too Late

Alexander’s face turned a shade of green, but he remained adamant on not answering.

Further emboldened by his reaction, Courtney continued to tease, “I understand if you have certain fetishes and your sexual preferences have always been a mystery to the entire Melrose City. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, you know. I’m just curious as to what could have caused two grown men to wrestle in bed in the first place.”

His expression darkened as he tried to show some restraint.

“Could it be that the first round wasn’t rough enough for you? Or was it because neither of you could decide who would be on the top? Was that why you guys fought?”

Her theories were getting more ridiculous by the minute. He glowered at Josh’s reflection in the rearview mirror; the man was trying so hard to suppress his laughter that his face reddened with the effort.

 

At that point, Alexander’s face was thunderous. “I’m sure you know my sexual preferences and fetishes more than anyone else.”

The bass in his voice reverberated throughout the car, swiftly putting an end to her mischief.

 

Upon hearing that, Courtney felt as though her face was on fire. She was rendered speechless and she did not dare to lift her head to meet his gaze. What a shameless rogue!

No one was speaking and the air in the car grew stifling. The silence was suffocating.

Alexander seemed to have realized that he had been too blatant for Courtney’s comfort and he began to regret his choice of words. He also realized that it did not matter how upset or angry he was with her actions, because at the end of the day, she held a special place in her heart that could never be replaced by anyone else.
