Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1720

It took him two failed attempts before the door finally unlocked. He dragged her inside and kicked the door shut behind him. The room was engulfed in darkness, with only a sliver of faint light spilling in from the hallway under the door.

Steve pinned Sylvia against the entryway wall, planting his hands on the wall beside her head. His chest heaved violently. In the suffocating darkness, their scorching breaths tangled together. With her back pressed against the cool wall, the intense heat driving her mad made it impossible for Sylvia to stay still. She writhed torturously against him, her red lips parted as soft, irresistible whimpers spilled from her mouth.

Steve squeezed his eyes shut, as if making a monumental decision. When he opened them again, his voice was unbelievably hoarse. "Sylvia, you need to behave! I am saving you tonight, not taking advantage of you while you are defenseless."

With that, he reached over and hit the switch, instantly flooding the entryway with light. Steve bent down, scooped her up into his arms, and strode straight into the bathroom. He set her on the edge of the bathtub, turned around, and quickly turned on the showerhead. Freezing water immediately cascaded down, rapidly filling the room with an icy mist.

The moment Steve finished adjusting the temperature and turned back around, Sylvia had already slid off the edge of the tub and collapsed onto the tiled floor. She had managed to peel off her agonizingly hot sweater, leaving only her thin silk camisole, which was already half-soaked by the splashing water. The wet fabric clung tightly to her skin, perfectly tracing her stunning curves.

Steve's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes darkening ominously. He quickly turned the water to its absolute coldest setting and aimed the spray directly at her, desperate to extinguish the unnatural fire burning inside her.

As the biting cold water slammed into her, Sylvia jolted violently. For a few brief seconds, her clouded brain regained a shred of clarity. But that fleeting lucidity was quickly swallowed by an even more ferocious wave of the drug. The cold water did not cool her down. Instead, it made the heat inside her rage even harder. She burst into tears and, desperate to find the source of the cold, began crawling frantically across the slippery tiles toward Steve.
