Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1604

Emmy immediately shook her head, her eyes darting away. "I dare not ask. I am afraid you will get angry."

That only piqued James's curiosity even more, and his brows shot up. He raised a hand and gave her rear a light, punishing smack. "Ask." His tone was indulgent. "I promise I will not get angry."

Emmy bit her lower lip, still too afraid to speak. She knew all too well how unreliable a man's promises were in bed. "I am not asking," she refused flatly. "You say you will not get angry, but you will definitely hold a grudge and use it as an excuse to torment me later."

Her reluctance pushed James's curiosity to its absolute peak. "If you do not ask, I will torment you right now." As he spoke, his hand expertly slipped beneath the hem of her shirt, his calloused fingertips brushing against her most sensitive skin.

Emmy melted instantly, throwing down her armor in surrender. "I will tell you! I will tell you!" She hastily grabbed his wandering hand. Watching his face carefully, she tested the waters. "I was just a little curious... Are you... perhaps not as intense as Major General Calony?"

The smile vanished from James's face in an instant. His eyes, previously brimming with tenderness, narrowed dangerously, glinting with a chilling light. He unceremoniously pinched Emmy's cheek, giving it a slight tug. "Emmy, did you really just compare me to another man?"

Emmy quickly swatted at his hand, explaining frantically. "No, no! Listen to me! It is like this. Yesterday, Mercedes came to chat with me. She complained that she could barely handle Calony's insatiable demands. And then she asked me... how I manage to handle you."

His explanation sounded more like a moving confession of love, and Emmy's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably. Seeing her dazed expression, James gave her nose a punishing pinch. "Stop letting your imagination run wild." He paused, a surge of arrogant competitiveness suddenly flashing in his eyes. "But if we are comparing intensity..." He snorted coldly, his tone dripping with disdain. "Calony is not even a match for me."

He suddenly leaned close to her ear, his voice turning seductively hoarse. "But if you want to experience it for yourself... Wait until you deliver this little one in your belly. I will let you experience it to your heart's content. I guarantee I will make you cry and beg for mercy."

Emmy's mind buzzed, instantly regretting ever bringing the topic up. Terrified, she tightly hugged his lean waist, burying her face against his chest and rubbing against him. "We do not need to wait until later. I am begging for mercy right now! I swear, I will never think about such nonsense again!"
