Oh No! The Pure Romance Turned Steamy!

The comments were still flashing nonstop.

Before I could sort out my thoughts, a low groan rose from beneath me.

A moment later, Brian Janson’s voice came through. He sounded drunk, embarrassed, and annoyed. “Get off.”

The comments went wild again:

[Ohhh. “Get off,” huh? Afraid the villainess will notice that tent you’re pitching?]

[Cold water is not saving you tonight!]

[Nooo. He is tainted. How can the male lead feel desire for anyone who is not the heroine!]

The showerhead in my hand kept dripping cold water.

The man in the bathtub was drenched. His shirt clung to him, outlining every curve of his chest. Water beaded on his lashes.

Some of the haze had lifted from his dark eyes. He was staring at me with surprising clarity.

“I just wanted to help you sober up with a bath,” I said.

As for falling right on top of him, that really had been an accident.

[Smooth. The villainess lives up to her title. In the novel she made him soak in ice water all night!]

[Thank goodness our sweet heroine found the CEO in time and brought him back to her room. Otherwise he would have gotten sick for sure!]

A prickle of guilt crept in, and the comments only made me more curious.

Our room was on the second floor.

Who would come looking for him in the middle of the night?

I still had not moved. Brian’s face kept turning redder.

He turned his head away. His voice dropped. “Hannah Lewis, you don’t even like me… Why do you have to… toy with me like this?”

The sudden and very clear reaction beneath me made my face heat up.

He seemed to lose control again.

His large hand wrapped around my calf and slid upward toward the hem of my soaked dress. His breath was hot. He leaned in, almost kissing me without thinking.

Right then, someone knocked on the glass door.

A crisp young girl’s voice came from outside. “Brian, are you in there?”

It was Quincy Sanders, the Janson family’s adopted daughter.

Also the so-called heroine.

This world was actually the setting of a melodramatic pseudo-incest romance novel.

The male lead would be pushed to the brink by his cruel villainess wife, who happened to be me.

The gentle and soft-spoken heroine would heal him and help him discover his true feelings.

They would go against the world to be together.

I would be left with divorce, bankruptcy, a car accident, and an early death.

Quincy spoke again outside the door.

“I knew she’d abandon you again. Hannah doesn’t care about you at all. Brian, she doesn’t deserve someone like you.

“Let me take you back to my room to sleep.”

This was the so-called pure and kind heroine?

I let out a small, mocking smile.

Just as she pushed open the bathroom door, I flipped straight into the bathtub.

She walked in and saw the scene in full:

A narrow tub.

Two soaked bodies pressed together.

A kiss on the edge of losing control.

Quincy screamed and ran out crying.

Brian stood up.

I looked at him, proud of myself.

I waited for him to get angry.

Instead, he reached back and locked the bathroom door.

His voice was low and rough as he pulled me back into his arms. “Continue.”

When I opened my eyes and saw the comments again, it was already the next night.
