Chapter 99

William didn't say a word. Instead, he silenced her with a kiss.

Victoria tried to resist, wanting to break free from his embrace, but her body was too weak to muster any strength.

"Come on, open your mouth," William coaxed gently, guiding her to swallow as he kissed her, his nimble tongue prying her teeth apart and exploring her sweetness.

His large hand moved to the back of her neck, slowly inching forward, causing her to shiver.

"William, stop..." Victoria tried to push his shoulder away, but he held her tightly.

William released her lips and whispered softly in her ear, "Baby, do you know that every time you call my name, it drives me wild with excitement?"

"You jerk! I'm still in pain!" Victoria's face flushed red as she pounded his firm chest with her fists.

William suppressed his heavy breathing, sweat beading on his forehead, his voice hoarse, "Don't make a fuss, be quiet, let me take care of you."

"William!" Victoria gritted her teeth and called out his name.

"I love it when you call me that," he murmured, nibbling on her delicate earlobe.

Victoria felt a jolt of pleasure course through her body at his touch, making her tremble.

"William, let me go," Victoria pushed against his chest, "I'm so tired, I need to rest."

"I'll be quick!" William's voice was a strained growl.

Victoria closed her eyes, trying to control her impulses and heat, desperately telling herself not to indulge him any further.

Her silence only fueled his desire. His hand slipped under her dress, gently massaging her through her underwear.

Victoria let out a muffled groan, her body stiffening.

William was pleased. He bit her rounded earlobe, his tone seductive, "Be good, I'll be gentle. Just cooperate."

Victoria trembled all over, clutching his shirt tightly, "You need to stop."

She couldn't take it anymore.

Ignoring her plea, he buried his face in her ample bosom, acting wantonly.

Victoria writhed in discomfort, her slender waist twisting.

She was already drenched between her legs, soaking through.

William's eyes burned with desire. He cupped her buttocks with one hand and her breast with the other, gently kneading, "Do you want it?"

Victoria shook her head, "No!"

"No what?" His eyes gleamed menacingly.

Victoria didn't know how to explain, so she bit her lower lip.

"Relax," he whispered seductively in her ear.

His words worked. Gradually, Victoria adapted to his presence, her body becoming more pliant.

Entwined together, the room filled with a sultry, erotic atmosphere.

Victoria lay on the bed, William on top of her, his heavy breaths falling on her collarbone, making her moan softly.

"William," Victoria called out sweetly, "Be gentle!"

William gave a wicked smile and thrust into her body.

Victoria winced in pain, tears welling up in her eyes.

His movements grew more aggressive, and Victoria couldn't help but cry out.

"William, you're hurting me," she whimpered, her voice filled with grievance.

William paused, quickly wiping away her tears with concern.

Victoria bit her lip hard, wrapping her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest.

He kissed her tenderly, moving slowly.

Victoria moaned softly, "William!"

Her voice was soft and alluring, like an aphrodisiac, stirring him up.

They remained entwined for a long time before finally coming to a stop.

Victoria lay motionless on the bed, unwilling to move. William brought a basin of hot water, wrung out a towel, and began to clean her body.

Victoria lay back, letting him take care of her, her gaze falling on his handsome, chiseled profile. She sighed softly, a strange bitterness welling up inside her.

Tonight, he had been so gentle and attentive, and it felt like a dream.

After cleaning her up, William held her in his arms, kissing her forehead, "What's wrong? Why the sudden sadness?"

She pressed her lips together, hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Was today's incident caused by Alice?"

William froze, not answering.

She gave a bitter smile, "I knew it."

"Don't worry," William kissed her forehead, "I won't let her hurt you again."

"You can't do that," Victoria smiled sadly, "She's your precious darling. How could you bear to trouble her?"

William fell silent, his arms tightening around her.

Victoria sighed, "What am I to you? According to Alice, I'm just a tool you bought to satisfy your lust."

"Don't overthink it!" William warned in a low voice.

"I'm not overthinking," Victoria looked at him seriously, "William, tell me honestly, what am I to you? A mistress? A sex buddy? Or a prostitute?"

Her expression was calm, as if stating a fact.

William's face darkened. He stared at her deeply, his lips pressed into a tight line, seemingly contemplating how to respond.

Victoria met his deep gaze, "William, you're my first and only man. Every time I'm in a desperate situation, you're the one who helps me. Although I never wanted to admit it, I do have feelings for you."

She calmly revealed her deepest emotions.

William's heart tightened, as if stung by a bee, a strange feeling spreading through his body. He held her tighter, "You really..."

"Yes," Victoria answered, both ashamed and honest, "If I truly didn't want to sleep with you, could you really force me? I have nothing to lose, I could just end it all."

His body grew even more rigid, his throat constricted, unable to find words to refute her.

"Even though you always threaten me, allowing Ella and Alice to bully me, I still have some hope for you," Victoria smiled self-deprecatingly, "Like just now, you protected me and took care of me so gently. Can I believe that you have feelings for me too?"

Her words pierced through his tough exterior, leaving him bleeding inside.

How could he like her?

She was Alvin's daughter! How could he forgive her? There was no future for them!
