    Chapter 217


    Howard extended theptop to her with a casual flick of his wrist.


    “Thanks, Mr. Chadwick”


    Gwendolyn plugged the USB drive in without hesitation. She opened the drive and saw a folder titled


    “Cultivating Character.”


    Beneath it were two more foldersbeled “Exploring the Human Mystery” and “Embrace and Conquer.”


    A slight frown creased Gwendolyn’s brow as she mused that Sandra had a peculiar interest in


    medicine.


    Each folder had hundreds of videos, all numericallybeled, their content inscrutable, their lengths


    impressive.


    Howard only nced at the screen, his eyes darkening just a smidge.


    “You sure you want to watch this now?” he murmured.


    “Yeah.”


    Gwendolyn clicked on the first video in the “Embrace and Conquer” folder. The screen filled with the


    sculpted bodies of foreign men, muscle–bound and entwined with a woman.


    Suddenly, a woman’s unmistakable, over–the–top shrieks filled the car.


    Gwendolyn stiffened, her cheeks aze, as she mmed theptop shut.


    “Ahem,” Cliff interrupted tactically, “I’ll step out for a smoke, Mr. Chadwick.


    “Sure.” Howard’s voice carried a barely–there chuckle.


    Cliff stepped out, the door closing with a definitive thud. Gwendolyn buried her burning face in her


    hands, her body ame.


    Howard’s voice was gentle, his gaze prating as he asked, “Enjoy the show?”


    Gwendolyn’s mind was a scrambled mess. She replied dryly, “It was okay, I guess. The, um, the


    physiques were impressive.”


    What on earth was she even saying?


    Howard’s eyes narrowed as he prodded, “Impressive physiques?”


    “No. I mean, Mr. Chadwick, that’s not what I meant…” She hadn’t seen much of anything.


    It was Sandra’s fault. That was anything but educational material!


    It was clearly…


    “Gwendolyn, you’re a married woman,” he pointed out.


    Gwendolyn felt even more mortified.


    “Mr. Chadwick, I’m so sorry…” Her gaze was flickering, full of embarrassment.


    “If you’re curious, we’ve got plenty of that at home,” Howard said dismissively, his hand casually


    loosening


    his tie and tossing it aside. His fingers then deftly began unbuttoning his crisp white shirt.

    One button


    Then two, three…


    And it looked like he was


    going to stop.


    His perfectly chiseled chest was exposed before her, dizzying in its perfection.


    “Mr. Chadwick?” Gwendolyn was in a full–blown panic.


    Men, perhaps, always needed topete.


    “Your husband and that naked guy, which do you prefer?” he asked.


    Gwendolyn was speechless. “L.”


    “If you’re unsure, why not feel for yourself before deciding?”


    Howard took and pressed her hand against his chest, his actions bordering on forceful


    His skin was firm and resilient.


    The rush of male pheromones was overwhelming.


    Gwendolyn tried to retract her hand timidly but found it sped even tighter, her fingers inadvertently


    digging into his muscle.


    His shirt hung loose, muscles tantalizing, his face still a picture of icyposure.


    “Made yourparison?” he asked softly.


    Gwendolyn felt like she was in the midst of a firestorm, her voice parched as she admitted, “My

    is better.”


    She got worked up, unable to resist the god–like Howard, who seemed to have descended into devilish


    temptation.


    He was so infuriatingly irresistible.


    “What’s good about me?” he asked in a husky tone, his brown eyes reflecting her face.


    Licking her dry lips, Gwendolyn mumbled with embarrassment, “You have a good body, and it’s


    tangible. L, I didn’t get a clear view of his.”


    When she opened the video, consumed by shame, she couldn’t have paid attention to anything else.
