Chapter 86


    Gisele was startled by the sudden turn of events, her mind momentarily going nk.


    When she regained her senses, she found herself breathless from the kiss, with Dorian pinning her


    down.


    In the dim light, Dorian’s eyes gleamed with intensity, emitting a fierce gaze as he leaned in to kiss


    her, almost as if in retaliation for her hesitance to stay.


    “Gah!” Gisele winced in difort.


    Her eyes widened as she angrily seized Dorian’s chin, forcing him to meet her gaze. “Dorian! Y–you


    better let go of me! Can’t you see who I am?


    “I know you can handle your alcohol, so why the charade? Aren’t you concerned about how


    devastated Sierra will be if she walks in on us?”


    Gisele feared that Dorian might attempt to force himself on her in the car, but what terrified her


    even more was the prospect of tomorrow morning.


    She worried that after they had s**, he would feel repulsed and disgusted by her, using her of


    promiscuity.


    In his drunken state, Dorian found Gisele’s protests irritating. Hushing her with a kiss, he muttered,


    “Shh!”


    Immediately after, his gentle, tender lips shifted into a disy of dominance, taking charge of her


    mouth, while his hands firmly constrained hers.


    With a heavy heart, Gisele watched as Dorian seemed consumed by his urge to kiss her. Hisrge


    hand gripped her buttocks while her slender arms encircled his shoulders.


    Locked in an ambiguous embrace, their passionate kisses drew them closer to the vi, Jon now


    nowhere in sight.


    In the vast and eerie Jefferson Manor, the couple continued to embrace, their lips intertwining.


    Even the frigid air appeared to thaw, gradually warming like water approaching its boiling point, until


    eventually, the metaphorical kettle reached its climax and overflowed.


    “Dorian…” Gisele breathed out, her voice soft as she sumbed to his passionate kiss, her flowing


    locks cascading over their entwined shoulders.


    Without hesitation, Dorian hastily removed her clothing, leaving a trail of passionate kisses and love


    bites

    on her fair, delicate skin.


    “Don.”


    Gisele’s delicate and alluring, voice echoed, but Dorian swiftly silenced her with a kiss, preventing


    any further words from escaping her lips.


    With a sobering awareness, Gisele observed Dorian’s passionate demeanor, experiencing a


    bittersweet


    sensation within her.


    Despite Dorian being the one under the Influence of alcohol, Gisele found herself captivated by his


    tenderness, even in her sober state.


    They made out from the car to the living room, their passion undiminished as they moved to the


    second floor, ultimately arriving in the master bedroom…


    As they stepped into the vi, their clothes were strewn across the floor, enveloping the room in an


    atmosphere saturated with desire.


    Exhausted, Gisele struggled to keep her eyes open. Drifting toward sleep, she caught a faint


    whisper by her ear, “Rainie… Rainie, don’t go.”


    Rainie…


    Gisele’s eyes snapped open instantly, her longshes trembling as she gazed at Dorian.


    Did he still remember her?


    She longed to ask him but didn’t know where to begin.


    Summoning her strength, Gisele rose from the bed, her body aching. Despite the difort, she


    made her way to the bathroom for a shower.


    Her tears mingled with the hot water, streaming down her face, tracing the path of hickeys on her


    skin before vanishing down the drain.


    The next day at midday.


    Dorian slept until noon, only to be awakened by a splitting headache. Sitting up, he noticed his


    mouth was


    dry. Without bothering to look, he reached for the ss on the bedside table and took a sip.


    The familiar bitterness of Sophora root made him instinctively frown as soon as it touched his


    tongue.


    It was the hangover remedy that Gisele had specially prepared for him. After social events in the


    past, he would always rely on a cup or two of this.


    Her unique blend of hangover relief effectively mitigated symptoms such as headaches, nausea,


    and thirst.


    As Dorian pondered, he couldn’t shake off the memory of Gisele’s hesitationst night, questioning


    whether she truly cared for him or if it was merely an act.


    “Gisele, don’t you dare…” Dorian said, his words trailing off as he turned away.
