Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1649: Hugo's Special Services

The Next Day...

The soft sound of short kisses filled Grace's apartment as she and Haines stood in the middle of the living room. His arms circled her waist, and her hand rested gently against his chest.

When Haines finally drew his head back, the corners of Grace's mouth curled up, her cheeks flushed pink as she bit her lower lip, still savoring the lingering softness of his kisses.

"You know..." she trailed off, wiggling her brows suggestively. "I still have some time to spare. If you promise to make it quick, we could probably... you know..."

Haines let out a shallow laugh, watching her try to sound modest about it. "Should we?"

"I mean... why not?" she hummed, pressing herself closer. "We start the morning in a much better mood, and hey, your knees get the workout they need!"

"It's not my knees that are the problem," Haines quipped.

She grinned mischievously. "Well, it's close to your thighs, so-" she stopped mid- sentence, tipping her head toward the bedroom.

Haines chuckled and pulled her closer again. Temptation was definitely there, even though they'd just finished... not to mention last night's multiple rounds.

But before he could lower his head to kiss her again, the doorbell rang.

Both of them froze.

Grace jolted in his arms and turned toward the door. Haines did the same.

"Were you expecting anyone?" he asked, eyes still on the door.

"No," Grace shook her head, brows drawn in suspicion. "I don't invite people over

this early. If I did, it'd be to my office-or somewhere public."

They exchanged a wary look.

"Should I hide?" Haines asked suddenly.

"Why?" she blinked, then smirked. "Do you want to answer the door?"

"..." Haines fell silent, looking away. "No."

Grace narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Next time, you're answering it." "Maybe."

With that, Haines carefully let her go while she reluctantly stepped back.
