Like a little wife, she helped Alice Parker change into slippers, then, like a young girl experiencing her first love, she tugged Alice Parker into the living room. Completely different from her strong, capable demeanor at the company, only at this moment did she seem to reveal her true nature. Even though her small apartment was just over seventy square meters, she had decorated it to feel warm and romantic.

"Alice Parker, sit here and watch some TV for a while." Sarah Bennett firmly pressed Alice Parker onto the sofa and personally found his favorite animal documentary for him. Then, like a virtuous wife, she poured him a cup of tea. Only then did she snuggle up beside Alice Parker, whispering, "You must have been drinking all night with President Qian, right? I bet you didn’t eat much. I’ve already prepared all the ingredients for spicy boiled fish. Do you want me to make it now?"

Alice Parker felt a warmth in his heart. Although he and Sarah Bennett had started out as nothing more than a physical relationship, as time went on, this tough-looking woman had become more and more considerate and gentle. At the very least, it was a thousand times better than returning to that cold, empty home.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He rolled over and pressed her delicate body into the soft, springy sofa, gently nibbling her now slightly flushed earlobe: "I’m not really hungry, but my little brother hasn’t eaten in days and is starving." Earlier, while getting a massage in the bathroom, he had managed to hold back despite the beautiful woman’s best efforts, but he was now full of pent-up desire. Plus, Sarah Bennett was dressed so seductively today, his masculine energy was on full display.

Chapter Fourteen: A Man’s Past

Women at Sarah Bennett’s age are at the peak of their physical maturity. She had already mentally prepared herself for today, so how could she resist Alice Parker’s skillful teasing? At first, she was a bit reluctant to get intimate on the sofa, but within half a minute, she was gasping and surrendered, letting the man do as he pleased.

"Wait." Just as Alice Parker was about to go all the way, Sarah Bennett suddenly stopped him. Covering her key parts, she giggled flirtatiously, "Are you in such a hurry today, Alice Parker, because you fooled around outside? Rushing like this, trying to prove your innocence?"

"Sarah, you’re not really going to do this to me, are you?" Alice Parker raised his hands in mock surrender with a wry smile. "At a time like this, why are you suddenly calling a halt? Honestly, I swear I’m a good guy."

"Hmph, you, a good guy?" Sarah Bennett suddenly flipped over, pinning Alice Parker beneath her on the sofa, her little nose sniffing him up and down: "A good guy can be this bad? No way, I need to check."

As she sniffed her way down, she actually reached his most sensitive area. This kind of seductive play only made Alice Parker’s desire burn even hotter.

After a long moment, Sarah Bennett finally lifted her flushed, beautiful face. She lay softly on top of Alice Parker, smiling sweetly and teasing, "I’ll let you off the hook for being good today."

Hearing this, Alice Parker, already burning with desire from her teasing, couldn’t hold back any longer. He kissed her, rolled over, picked her up, and pressed her down hard onto her slender, graceful, half-covered body.

……

After a long time, everything finally returned to calm.

Sarah Bennett nestled against Alice Parker’s strong chest like a little bird. Her beautiful face now showed a lazy satisfaction. She lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then took a tissue to wipe the sweat from his body.

The once tidy sofa was now a complete mess, a testament to how intense their passion had been.

Alice Parker smoked as he gently comforted the beauty beside him. Sarah Bennett rested her head on his arm, her soft fingers slowly tracing circles on his chest. The center of those circles was a hideous round scar. In addition, there was a knife wound about an inch long on his left waist. There were also many other small scars.

These wounds had long since healed, and after special treatment, were almost the same color as his skin. If you didn’t look closely, you’d never notice them.

"Did it hurt a lot back then?" After a long while, Sarah Bennett gently kissed the scar and asked in a low voice. Even when they made love, Sarah Bennett liked to kiss his scars. But from the very first day, Sarah Bennett had never asked where the scars came from, nor about Alice Parker’s past. Although she was always curious—this scar was right over his heart. How was Alice Parker still alive and well? In fact, these scars hadn’t diminished Alice Parker’s physique at all; instead, they gave him a dangerous allure.

This was one of the reasons Sarah Bennett found herself more and more attracted to Alice Parker. In peaceful times, a man with gunshot and knife wounds must have a story. And men with stories are usually the most attractive to women.

Alice Parker’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing. Yes, it had hurt a lot at the time. But in truth, it wasn’t the wound that hurt. It was his heart—the kind of pain that feels like your heart is being torn apart. Even now, just thinking about it made it ache faintly.

"Alice Parker, I’m sorry." A smart woman like Sarah Bennett could easily read Alice Parker’s expression. She quickly apologized, "I didn’t mean to bring it up."

"Sarah, it’s not your fault." Alice Parker had excellent self-control. In just a moment, he regained his composure and said calmly, "It just reminded me of some unhappy things from the past, that’s all."
