The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 267

Warm water poured down from above, instantly soaking Ella as her bare back met the cool porcelain tiles. She pressed her hands against David’s chest, her voice a little shaky. “What are you doing?”

Rivulets of water ran down his striking face, following the bold lines of his jaw, sliding along his throat, then over his strong collarbones and farther down. He looked like something out of a dream, every detail impossible to ignore.

Ella felt herself heating up all over, her heart pounding wild and fast. She couldn’t figure out where to look. Her eyes darted everywhere, like a startled deer desperate to find a way out.

David pinned her gently but firmly against the wall, amusement dancing at the corners of his mouth. “Why are you so shy? Haven’t you already seen everything?”

She hadn’t expected him to pull her into the shower. That one night before, he’d been lost to the effects of whatever he’d taken, barely aware of himself. But now, he was stone-cold sober. She’d never been with him like this, when he was totally clear-headed. And definitely not in the shower.

“David, let me go. I want to get out,” Ella protested, trying to squirm away.

He only smirked, not moving an inch. Instead, he reached up and clipped something into her hair. Ella glanced at the mirror. He’d fastened a tiny yellow hair lip there. Then came a pink one, then a green one, all lined up in her wet hair.

She blinked, caught off guard. These were the hair clips she saw when they went shopping. She’d almost bought them, but Monica suddenly showed up. She never thought he’d actually go back and get them for her.

David watched her, his eyes tracing her features. Her long hair was soaked and clinging to her face, making her look even more delicate and stunning. The playful, candy-colored clips brought out a sweet energy in her, adding a hint of girlish charm.

He pressed his lips to the clips, then pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her hair. “You look so beautiful.”

Ella felt her knees go weak. She could barely stand in his arms.

David had always been generous, especially after she made him happy. He was the type to shower her with gifts, things he knew she liked.

But she couldn’t let him get away that easily. She pushed at his chest, her voice barely above a whisper. “Stop, David. Let me go.”

David just grinned, pulling her hand away and pinning it to the wall. He lowered himself so his face was level with hers. “Tell me, did you enjoy it that night?”

She tried again to cover his mouth, desperate to stop his teasing.

David’s gaze was so intense she could barely breathe. He pressed his mouth to hers, soft but hungry. “I liked it. A lot.”

He said it, plain and clear. He liked it. He wanted her to know.

A rush of emotion shimmered in Ella’s eyes, making them glow with an irresistible light.

David leaned in and kissed her deeply, leaving no room for doubt in her mind.
