Chapter 313

Back in the room, Zachary pinned Jessica against the door, his gaze searing into hers, his body pressed tightly against hers. The air around them seemed to thicken. "This outfit is something else," he murmured in a deep, rough voice, like a cello string snapping. His sudden move startled Jessica. The swimsuit she wore was light and form-fitting. With him holding her that tightly, it was as if she wasn't wearing much at all. "You like it?" she teased, tugging playfully on his tie, her fingertip tracing circles on his chest through the thin fabric of his shirt. Zachary couldn't resist her for long. He caught her hand and pressed it to his cheek as he hoarsely said, "Of course. Darling, you're trying to drive me crazy." He rested his forehead against hers, thinking that she should only wear this swimsuit at home. If he hadn't shown up that day, who knew what kind of trouble she would have gotten into with everyone staring at her? Jessica carefully traced her fingers along his face.
