Too Late, Mr. White! I'm Married To Your Rival Now のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 271 - チャプター 280

Aria's POVI felt like a fish about to be dried out when Aiden finally released me. My entire body burned hot, my breathing shallow and erratic like it might stop at any moment. My legs had turned completely useless—I would've collapsed if Aiden wasn't holding me up.I stayed nestled against his chest for a while, waiting for my rapid breathing to slow down. When I finally felt somewhat normal again, I lifted my head slightly to peek at him."Don't you need to get back to the office?" I asked, my voice still raspy.His eyes darkened as he looked down at me. I knew I must've been a sight—face flushed, eyes still misty. I felt exposed under his gaze.Aiden's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard before deliberately turning away. He let out a small laugh. "Lucas must be extremely grateful to you right now.""What?" I blinked in confusion."For reminding me about work right after we've been intimate," he clarified with amusement dancing

Aria's POVI was completely captivated by Aiden's words and kisses. My brain fixated on those three words he'd just whispered—he liked me—while his lips worked their magic against mine. Desire ignited between us like someone had struck a match to gasoline.His hands roamed down my back, pulling me closer. "I want you," he breathed against my neck, his voice husky with need."I need to shower first," I managed to say, though my body screamed otherwise. The party had left me feeling sticky, and I wanted to be fresh for him.Aiden's eyes darkened as his lips curved into that devastatingly sexy smirk. "Let's shower together."Before I could respond, he scooped me up in his arms. I squealed, wrapping my arms around his neck as he carried me toward the bathroom, his footsteps purposeful. The spontaneity of it all sent shivers down my spine.He set me down gently on the cold tile, reaching in to turn on the rainfall showerhead. Steam quickly began

Aria's POV"I frowned, wrinkling my nose as Lillian hugged me goodbye. "Of course my bestie can call me babe."The evening had been perfect—fresh lobster and two bottles of rich cabernet that left a warm tingle on my tongue. By the time we said our goodbyes, the clock had ticked past ten. Ryan had knocked back a few too many glasses to drive, so he'd called for a car service. Lillian had planned to grab an Uber, but Ryan insisted she ride with his driver instead—something about a woman shouldn't travel alone this late.Me? I'd only had one beer, but the alcohol hit me harder than expected. The pleasant buzz I'd felt earlier had transformed into a delicious warmth spreading through my limbs.After buckling my seatbelt, I turned toward Aiden in the driver's seat, my forehead crinkling with the effort of focusing on his face. "Aiden, I think I'm drunk."His lips quirked upward, eyes crinkling at the corners. "People who are actually drunk never admi

Aria's POVI understand you'd like me to rewrite the pool scene with Aiden and Aria in first person from Aria's perspective, maintaining the original storyline but expanding only the intimate scenes. The setting should be adapted to a Western context with American cultural references and authentic English expressions. Here's my rewrite:Aiden leaned down and captured my lips again, his kiss deeper and more thorough this time. His tongue traced the seam of my mouth, coaxing me to open for him as his hands cradled my face. I instinctively clutched the sides of his shirt, tilting my head back to receive his lingering attention.By the time we broke apart, my head was spinning. The morning kiss had left me completely dazed.As I walked downstairs, my cheeks still burned hot. The front door opened, letting in the cool morning breeze that helped clear my foggy mind.Aiden had already changed into his shoes. He pulled me into a quick embrace and kissed my forehead.

Aria's POVI was dying of curiosity about where Aiden planned to take me. This was the first time he'd ever suggested taking me out somewhere just for fun.Before we left, I'd asked him about our destination, but he just gave me that mysterious smile of his and said, "You'll find out soon enough."I didn't press further, but my anticipation built with every mile we drove. Twenty minutes later, the car rolled to a stop. I unbuckled my seatbelt and followed Aiden out of the vehicle.My eyebrows shot up when I realized we were at an auction house. "Why are we at an auction?" I asked, surprise evident in my voice.Aiden's warm hand enveloped mine as he guided me through the entrance. "There's a jewelry auction tonight," he explained, his deep voice casual as if buying expensive jewelry was something people did on random weeknights.I nodded, still confused. "Ohh, okay."It wasn't until we took our seats that I understood his intention. He handed me the catalog of items being auctioned and
