Craving The Playboy's Touch のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

AdrianAs soon as I stepped out of the woods and into the main clearing, Davies noticed me. He broke away from the main tent with a worried expression on his face as he rushed up to me with the standby medical team hurrying right behind him. No one else had returned yet. They were all probably still in the woods playing that godforsaken game.“Mr. Beaufort! Are you hurt? Quick, take a seat,” the instructor said, his eyes scanning me for injuries.I raised a brow before tossing the bow and foam-tipped arrows carelessly onto an empty plastic chair nearby. “Hurt? Nah. This game just sucks.” Davies blinked, looking completely thrown off by my casual attitude. The medical staff behind him stepped back slowly, realizing there was no emergency to handle.“Oh,” the instructor muttered, clearing his throat and looking down at his clipboard to save face. “Right. Well, if you’re opting out, I just need to record that your team is disqualified unless your partner is still actively hunting.”“Cla

AdrianI headed straight toward the eastern side of the woods the moment I crossed back through the exit, following the direction Hunter had mentioned earlier without wasting another second. At first, I told myself I was only doing this because someone clearly had to use their brain around here. Everyone else had been way too calm for my liking, acting like Emma had simply stopped to admire flowers or take in the damn scenery while the weather was getting worse by the second.The rain had started as nothing more than a few drops, but now it was coming down harder, soaking through my shirt and sticking my hair to my forehead as I pushed past low branches and wet bushes. The wind had picked up too, moving through the trees with enough force to make the whole place feel unfamiliar.“Emma!”My voice carried farther this time, but the sound disappeared into the rising wind before anything came back.The eastern side was bigger than I imagined, and after walking for nearly ten minutes, ever

Adrian.I pushed open the glass door to Claire’s guest suite on the middle floor and walked straight into the room, my fists clenched at my sides as I tried hard to stay calm.Claire looked up from the bed the moment she heard the door, a smile spreading across her lips like she had been expecting me.“I knew you’d eventually come around, baby,” she said softly, pushing herself up from the king-sized bed.She had on one of those short red dresses that barely covered anything, the thin straps resting too low on her shoulders like they could slip off any second.She stood slowly, taking her time as she walked toward me. “You know,” she said, lowering her voice when she stopped right in front of me, “I’ve been thinking about you all evening.” Her fingers brushed lightly against my arm. “Especially after the way you kissed me earlier.”I stayed still, saying absolutely nothing. My silence probably made her think she was getting exactly what she wanted because the smile on her face only d

EmmaAdrian tucked several soft pillows gently against my back before walking around to take a seat next to me on the bed. Olivia and Hunter had already left, leaving the room completely quiet, and I was left entirely alone with Adrian .I couldn’t stop watching in amusement as he pulled a thick blanket over my exposed legs. His movements were very gentle and when his long, soft fingers brushed against my skin, it sent a sudden jolt straight through my body. Despite the tension in my body, I couldn’t stop the small smile that crept across my lips.“What?” Adrian asked, noticing my expression as he tucked the edges of the blanket beneath my legs so it wouldn’t slide off again.“So… in other words, you actually care about me?” I asked teasingly, tilting my head.A slow, cocky grin broke across his face at that.“Care?” he repeated, leaning back slightly on the bed as he made a face. “Don’t get ahead of yourself, Nerdy Emma.”I gasped, my hand automatically reaching for the huge pillow r

Emma“We actually came up here to check on you,” Trevor continued, his voice calm as he looked between Adrian and me. “And also to tell you that we’ve already thought of a way to find out who did this to you. I hate that anyone would do something so dangerous, and I especially hated how Adrian had accused my wife wrongly earlier without any proof.”I looked down at the blanket, a sudden, heavy sadness washing over me. My throat felt tight. He wasn’t doing this because he actually cared about me or wanted to find the person who had almost killed me. He was only doing this because he was angry that Adrian had accused Allysia. He wanted to clear his wife's name alone. The realization stung more than I wanted to admit.Allysia sniffed, lifting her chin proudly as she clung tighter to Trevor’s arm. “Exactly. I’m going to call the resort manager myself first thing in the morning and demand that the CCTV footage from the trail area be sent straight to my phone. Once we see who actually did i
