Cheated Once Cherished Forever: The Billionaire's Bride novel Chapter 181

"Isabella…" Alexander's voice was gentle and intimate.

"I'm here, Alexander," Layla answered softly, her fingers lightly brushing against his shirt collar as she moved in closer.

The kiss, warm and lingering, started in the car and carried all the way to the room. The soft light from the hallway sensor illuminated their figures as Alexander's hand settled against her waist, his palm's heat seeping through her clothing.

He leaned in, trapping her between the door and his body, his lips drifting away from hers to softly trace her ear, his voice hushed and thick with emotion. "Isabella… Isabella…"

"Alexander…" Layla gripped the edge of his shirt, her fingers tense with anxiety. Even though her heart raced, she forced herself to meet his gaze, her eyes locking with his fiery look.

His eyes seemed to belong to someone else, and the name he whispered wasn't hers, but it didn't matter. She only needed to ensure that after tonight, she could carry his child. Whoever he truly loved was irrelevant.

Her fingers trailed slowly up his side, her hand finding its way to his neck, pulling him closer, closing the distance between them.

The alcohol was fading, and Alexander was steadier now, lifting her carefully as his free hand went for the bedroom light.

Layla's voice broke through, soft and shy. "Don't turn on the light…"

Alexander froze, his hand hovering over the switch.

She curled closer against his chest, her voice barely above a whisper. "I… I'm shy… Please, don't turn on the light…"

"Alright…" he murmured, his movements were awkward yet urgent, lacking the ease of experience.

A flicker of surprise ran through her. She hadn't expected that the young heir of the Sinclair family, already in his twenties, would still be completely inexperienced.

The alcohol still lingered, making him clumsy. In the dim light, Layla could see the frustration and urgency in his eyes.
