An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Shower at His Place

Chapter 91 Shower at His Place

Natasha was still at a loss when there was a sudden knock at the door.

Margot stood outside.

Jared released her and went to open the door.

Margot had brought breakfast for Natasha.

Jared took the tray and shut the door again.

“Have some breakfast first,” Jared said.

Natasha leaned against the bed, her face full of hesitation.

“I’d rather take a shower first,” she replied.

Jared stared at her in silence for a moment, his dark eyes unwavering.

“Okay, let me help you,” he said.

Natasha flinched, her heart skipping a beat.

“No… Really, I can handle it myself!” Natasha blurted out.

Her voice nearly caught in her throat.

Jared fixed her with a deep stare. “Are you sure? You could barely stand a minute ago.”

Natasha’s expression froze.

She knew this wasn’t the time to play hero.

If she went to the bathroom by herself and ended up slipping in the shower, that’d make things even messier.

After hesitating for a while, she finally relented. “I’ll have breakfast first.”

‘Once I’ve regained some strength, I can take a shower then,’ Natasha thought to herself.

Jared brought the tray over.

On it was a bowl of oatmeal and a few little side dishes.

Natasha reached out to take it.

But Jared sat down at her bedside.

He picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of oatmeal, and held it to her lips.

Natasha was stunned.

Her eyes widened in shock.

‘Is he seriously going to feed me?’ she thought.

“Afraid it’s too hot?” Jared asked.

He leaned down and blew on the spoon a few more times, then held it out to her again.

“It shouldn’t be hot anymore,” Jared said.

Natasha was silent.

She looked at him in utter disbelief.

‘Is he seriously going to feed me?’ Natasha wondered.

“I can do it myself…” she mumbled.

But before Natasha could finish her words, Jared cut her off. “Open your mouth.”

Natasha had no choice but to obediently open her mouth.

Jared fed her a spoonful of oatmeal.

Natasha chewed and swallowed.

He scooped up another spoonful for her.

She swallowed again.

It was kind of weird.

Natasha realized she’d never been fed like this by anyone before.

Not even Percy, her husband, or Sandra, her own mother, had ever done this.

Natasha couldn’t recall ever being cared for or pampered like this.

Suddenly, Jared was treating her like this.

Her heart trembled, a strange numbness spreading inside.

She thought, ‘It is like warmth flooding through me, soothing every part of me.

‘Jared is supposed to be just my boss.

‘Yet, to my surprise, he seemed to treat me better than my own family ever did.”

‘Am I just imagining things?’

Just like that, Jared ended up feeding her the whole bowl of oatmeal himself.

Natasha felt her energy return almost immediately.

Jared asked softly, “Do you want to take a shower?”

Natasha nodded. “Yes.”

She was drenched in sweat after fighting Gordon last night.

She could still smell Gordon’s blood on her skin.

The scent made her feel sick to her stomach.

‘I need to wash it all off, she thought.

“I’ll get the shower ready for you,” Jared offered.

Natasha quickly called out, “No, no, that’s not necessary. I’ll rinse off myself.”

She honestly felt too embarrassed to ask him for anything else.

With that, she got out of bed and hurried straight into the bathroom.

Thankfully, she managed not to stumble this time.

Once inside, Natasha locked the door behind her.

Taking her time, Natasha slipped out of her clothes and stood beneath the showerhead.

The frosted glass door revealed the graceful silhouette of her body.

Jared could hear the sound of water running.

He couldn’t help but imagine Natasha behind that door, showering.

He imagined her standing beneath the shower, her smooth skin turning a soft rosy hue under the gentle warmth of the

water.

Rivulets snaked down her silky hair, gliding over her sculpted features, trailing along her slender neck and elegant collarbone, continuing their journey downward.

Sensual.

Mesmerizing.

Tempting.

Just imagining it, Jared felt a rush of heat flood his body.

He swallowed hard, his throat tightening.

His thoughts were racing, impossible to control.

And before Jared could stop it, his body responded.

‘Shit, Jared couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

He thought, ‘I’ve always kept my cool, no matter the temptation, So why do I keep losing control whenever she is around?’

Right now, Jared felt a powerful urge rising inside him.

He wanted nothing more than to rush into the bathroom and wrap her up in his arms.

Just then, his phone rang.

Jared shook himself out of it and answered the phone.

It was Herbert, his lawyer.

Herbert said, “Based on the evidence I’ve submitted so far, the police are tentatively calling it self-defense for Ms. Whittier.

But the case isn’t closed yet. Gordon’s still out cold at the hospital.

“If they decide his injuries count as serious, things could get messy. Plus, the Zucker family keeps pushing the cops to come down hard on Ms. Whittier. Honestly, there’s a real chance she could end up back in lockup.”

Jared frowned. “Gordon still hasn’t woken up?”

Herbert replied, his tone heavy.

“Gordon’s the only heir of the Zucker family. Word is, he got hurt not only in the stomach, but also in his manhood. The Zuckers were at the hospital last night, totally losing it, demanding the doctors pull out all the stops to save him.

“Honestly, even if the Whittier family steps in, it probably won’t make a difference.”

Jared’s expression turned icy.

He told Herbert, “Make sure you stay on top of this and handle it right. Keep me posted if anything changes.”

“Yes, Mr. Rundell, Herbert replied.

Only after finishing her shower did Natasha realize she hadn’t brought any clean clothes.

Her original clothes were filthy and totally unwearable.

Natasha thought, ‘I can’t just walk out wrapped in a towel.

What if Jared is still in the room?

“Would he think I am deliberately showing up like that to seduce him?’

Natasha was stressing out about what to do when, suddenly, Jared knocked on the bathroom door.

“You’re still not done? You’ve been in there for almost an hour,” Jared called from outside.

He’d finished his phone call and waited another half hour, but she still hadn’t come out.

Jared was starting to worry. ‘What if something has happened to Natasha in there?’

Natasha bit her lip, feeling awkward, and finally spoke up, “Um… would you mind grabbing me some clean clothes?”

After she moved in because of the BC Project Plan leak, Jared had arranged for someone to buy her a few outfits. Margot had neatly put them in the closet for her.

She waited for a bit, but Jared didn’t respond.

Still, she heard his footsteps heading out.

‘He must be going to grab me some clean clothes,’ Natasha thought.

Natasha wrapped herself in a towel and waited by the bathroom door.

Jared opened the closet and picked out a set of loungewear.

He strode back to the bathroom door and knocked.

Natasha cracked the door open just a little and reached out her slender hand.

“Thanks, she said.

Then she quickly shut the door again.

Jared’s eyes were dark, a storm brewing beneath the surface.

He had to fight the urge to push the door open.

His mouth went dry.

He felt another flare of heat ignite inside him.

He gritted his teeth, trying to keep himself in check.

He headed out to the balcony, lit up a cigarette, and took a long drag, letting the smoke curl around him as he tried to cool off.

Natasha came out of the bathroom in her loungewear, but didn’t see Jared anywhere in the bedroom.

She figured he must have left.

But then she heard a man’s voice, sounding a bit off, coming from the balcony.

Confused, she went over to check it out.

Chapter 91 Shower at His Place

Jared was leaning against the balcony railing, his eyes half-closed.

Beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead.

His lips were tightly pressed together as he was fighting something inside.

At first, Natasha had no clue what he was up to.

Until she happened to notice his hand stuffed in his pocket….
