CHAPTER 304. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Allergic reactionHe managed to catch a glimpse of the damned bug. Amid the stillness of the cabin, his eyes locked onto the first thing that moved quickly into a corner. Although he wasn’t able to catch it, he at least knew it had eight legs and was brown with spots.For a moment, he was paralyzed, but Levi wasn’t the type to panic when he didn’t know what to do. He got up quickly, dressing in just a few seconds. Leaning over Noémi, he stroked her face.“I want you to close your eyes, baby. And hold on like a brave girl because I need to get you dressed,” he said as he began putting clothes on her. “You’re brave, aren’t you?”He heard her moan in pain but not scream, even as the red spot around the bite grew larger and larger.“It’s not poisonous... don’t worry,” she murmured, and Levi felt a lump in his throat. She had to have a pair of steel ovaries to try to reassure him despite the pain she was in.“I know, there aren’t any poisonous spiders here, bu
CHAPTER 305. A NAUGHTY GIRL. “Bzzzzz, bzzzzz, bzzzzz!”“What I want to know is what the hell you were doing in that little cabin by the lake! Couldn’t you have invited me? I would have taken care of you! How the hell did you let a spider bite you? Couldn’t you relax at a spa like normal women? What were you doing up there?” Loan growled.Noémi took a deep breath and shrugged.“Do you want me to explain the flower and the bee metaphor, or do you get it if I just say I was being pollinated?” she responded.Levi closed his eyes to stifle a laugh, and Loan shot him a dirty look, blushing.“Couldn’t you have found something more normal?” Loan hissed.“Hey, don’t call him that! He’s very handsome!”“Shut up, I was talking to him!” Loan replied, turning to Levi. “Are you sure you know what you’re getting into?”Levi looked at Noémi and smiled calmly.“I know I’m not getting into anything, and neither is she, so don’t worry,” he assured him softly.“And speaking of getting into things! Danna
CHAPTER 306. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Hello, Mrs. CEOLevi stood still for a second. He knew she had planned her trip for that day, but he imagined that after the hospital, the spider, and everything, she would stay longer. He sighed, half-smiling, and nodded."Work?" he asked, moving closer."Yes, and it doesn't let me rest much," she replied. "Chiara has been covering for me for a few weeks, and now it's my turn to take over because she also has... things to handle."Levi wrapped his arms around her waist, and she purred with pleasure at the warm touch on her skin."I understand. Looks like this might end without ever really starting," he murmured as Noémi stood on her tiptoes to reach his lips.A second later, she was trapped in a possessive embrace, and Levi's lips claimed her mouth with desperation. There was a desire neither could deny, a need to feel skin against skin and give in to their instincts, but a cooing sound from the baby brought them back to reality, making them laugh."Actu
CHAPTER 307. A NAUGHTY GIRL. A Goddess"You've got a serious mental disorder. Are you crazy like this 24/7, or do you take breaks to rest?"Noémi replied with nothing but a picture of her tongue.Talking to her was simple; everything was simple—either sexual or blunt. There were no hearts, no double-meaning questions, no complaints. She was a working woman; he was a working man. He had a child, and she had her own complications. Maybe that was why they respected each other's boundaries and were starting to really enjoy one another."Awake or drooling?" Levi texted three days later."Drooling for you... but working :("He checked his watch; honestly, he hadn't expected her to respond so late."I know it's not my place, but you haven't been sleeping much lately," he warned."And the worst part is when I do sleep, I don't rest. My brain keeps going, and I wake up feeling worse." Noémi glanced at the clock, which showed three in the morning, then at the pile of papers she still had to re
CHAPTER 308. A NAUGHTY GIRL. A Proud GuyLevi wanted the ground to swallow him up. How could he have thought it was a good idea to come looking for her?! She looked like a queen, and he was the guy who trimmed the hedges at one of her many summer homes."I'm sorry, I really am... I shouldn’t have come," he murmured, but the next thing he heard was a mischievous laugh, and he looked up at her. She didn’t look angry at all."It's rare to see you nervous," she whispered."I don’t like being out of place, and I clearly am here. Sorry, I don’t want to cause you any trouble."Noémi rolled her eyes before smiling."Actually... I think it’s the best idea you've ever had in your life. I just wish it wasn’t such bad timing because I’m about to get on a plane," she replied. "So, how about you offer me your arm like the gentleman you are and at least walk me to the airport?"Levi blinked slowly. Leave with her?"Unless you don’t want to," Noémi murmured, and an instant later, Levi was extending
CHAPTER 309. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Got it, Boss.""Eliyaz, can you take care of him for me? It’s very important," she said.The man, who was about sixty years old, smiled gently."Of course, Miss Keller, I’ll take care of it."Noémi winked at Levi and quickly headed towards the plane. Her executives were already lined up in two rows waiting for her, and she passed through the middle, returning to her routine of signing papers and taking calls.Levi watched her board the plane and sighed. They couldn’t be more different, but the truth was, it wasn’t like they were getting married or anything, and desire didn’t care much about social classes.Mr. Eliyaz was very kind to him, driving him back to the office building with the utmost courtesy. Soon after, Levi was driving back to Lucerne, unable to stop thinking about how soft the inside of that woman was compared to the icy facade she always wore like a mask.The next two days were strange for him. Noémi barely responded with a couple of senten
CHAPTER 310. A NAUGHTY GIRL. A Very Long NightNoémi tilted her head and looked her up and down without any shame, while the woman in front of her raised her chin with something that was supposed to be… arrogance?Two minutes later, as Levi approached his apartment, he could hear shouting and see from the stairs the naked figure frantically trying to get dressed in front of his door. His expression was utterly shocked when he recognized Freya, and even more so when he saw Noémi open the door and lean against the frame."What the hell is going on here?" he hissed.“This woman is a... a...!” Freya exclaimed, beside herself, and Noémi looked at her with annoyance.“Hey, you were the one naked in someone else’s home,” the young woman interrupted as she saw the horrified look on Levi’s face, and before either of them could say anything, she stepped forward. “Did you really think I’d believe the story that you’re sleeping with him?” she hissed.Freya lifted her head again with a defiant ge
CHAPTER 311. A NAUGHTY GIRL. I’m not going to resistLevi shot her a murderous glare. He paced the room back and forth until he finally gave up and went to take a shower.Noémi chuckled softly as she kissed the baby and finally laid him down in his crib, fast asleep... and she didn’t even have time to turn around. A hand covered her mouth, and Levi’s hot body pressed against her back, pushing that uncontrollable erection against the curve of her ass.“Grab the monitor,” he ordered in a deep, husky voice that made her gasp in anticipation.Noémi reached out and found the baby monitor, turning it on as he dragged her out of Peter’s room and closed the door. The next thing she knew, her back was pressed against a wall, and his mouth was completely dominating hers. She could feel his hands roaming over her body with desire, his tongue fiercely dancing in that kiss.She wanted to lose herself in the heat of his body, in his hands exploring at will and lifting her skirt to slide his finger
