Chapter 252
Although her tone was seductive, there was no hiding the ‘glazed and lost look in her
eyes.
Joe suddenly had an epiphany. He immediately removed the red bracelet from his wrist and tried to clasp it on Skylar’s.
Unfortunately, Skylar squirmed against the sheets, doing her level best to get in his
way.
She was trying to seduce him.
Regardless, there was a clear disparity in their strength. Therefore, Joe merely gripped Skylar’s wrist firmly and slid the bracelet on her.
Skylar stopped moving the second the red bracelet landed on her wrist.
A few moments later, her dimmed eyes began to brighten. After that, her eyes. promptly focused on the shirtless Joe who was looming over her.
A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead and landed against her chest.
The chilled sensation against her skin gradually made her eyes widen in shock.
“You-”
“You nearly forced yourself on me,” Joe said, cutting her off. “Actually, you had quite a nice time fondling me. Is your thirst for my body quenched, or do you need more?
His lips curled into a teasing smirk as his eyes glinted dangerously. Then, he covered Skylar with a towel, covering the sinful temptation before him.
Still, the desire within him only burned hotter.
Skylar was beyond shocked as her brain dutifully replayed the scene earlier. Sure enough, her fair cheeks flushed crimson.
Under the warm lighting, her eyes seemed oddly enchanting as she hastily defended herself, “I was affected by that dress! My head wasn’t on straight earlier!”
The first owner of the dress was a well–known hostess back in the day. She had
specifically ordered that dress to gain more customers and consolidate her position.
Nonetheless, it was likely that the seamstress of this very dress was working under someone’s pay. She had sewn a seal on the dress, causing the hostess to die a tragic
death.
She had probably fallen for its sinister machinations when Viola had her place the red bracelet on Joe after Frank burned the dress–into crisps.
Skylar nearly burst into tears as she stared at the red bracelet on her wrist.
Her brain remembered every vivid detail.
She didn’t know she could be so bold!
Not only did she fondle Joe, but she also allowed him to see her stark naked. To make matters worse, her lips felt particularly tender.
As if summoned by her thoughts, her brain obligingly screeched to a halt upon the scene where they shared a kinni.
“See this?”
Joe pointed at his shoulder.
Bruises were blooming against his skin, Bruises that were dotted with marks.
She could see as clear as day that those were teeth marks.
How scandalous!
Skylar inhaled sharply at the undeniable evidence. In the end, she decided to play dumb. “I’ll get the first aid kit. When did you get hurt?”
She was going to book it with that flimsy excuse.
Joe grabbed her hand and placed it against his shoulder as his lips curled into a teasing smile. “Oh, well. An adorable yet fierce puppy bit me. Do you think I should get a rables shot?”
Did she think she could get away after causing such a mess? Was he that much of a fool?
Skylar’s fingers stiffened against the bumpy ridges dotting his skin.

Who did he just call puppy? If anything, he was the animal in this room!
“Look here. I got bit here too.” Joe pressed closer as he pointed to his lips.
Although Skylar felt guilty, she wasn’t about to back off just like that. “Fine, I did it. I accept full responsibility for all of it.”
Then, she wasted no time tugging her hand away from his grip before clutching her
bathrobe against her chest and dashing away from him.
Joe narrowed his eyes at the wide open door. He fell silent for a few seconds before
leaving the bed and walking to the bathroom.
The mirror reflected the marks on his skin. Of course, it also displayed the tiny cut on his lips.
