Chapter 527
Nestled in the man’s arms, Melanie subconsciously gripped the fabric of his shirt at his chest. She parted her chapped lips, wanting to say something. However, what came out was a soft, almost inaudible sound.
Holding the woman in his arms, Eugene could sense her unusually high body temperature, which caused his eyes to narrow almost instantly.
When Lee, who was following behind him, saw this, he quickly apologized to the two partners who had come along with them. He then led them to the prearranged private room.
Eugene brought Melanie to a room upstairs. Her exposed skin was burning, and her face was abnormally red.
While cradled in the man’s arms, his clean and fresh cedar scent seemed to soothe the heat within Melanie. She kept her head buried in Eugene’s chest, breathing in his scent greedily. She suddenly felt the bed beneath her and was a bit disoriented as she reached out to grab Eugene’s hand.
Right now, all she wanted was to be close to him, to breathe in his scent. Melanie had messed up Eugene’s clothes with all her nuzzling. He looked toward his captured fingers, his gaze slowly falling on her clearly hazy eyes.
Melanie’s eyes had always been beautiful, but due to the effects of the drug, a blush now adorned the corners. Her typically clear eyes were misted over.
Half-kneeling on the bed, she tugged at Eugene’s fingers. It looked like the dryness of her lips was bothering her as she ran her tongue over them quickly. Melanie’s mind was a haze at the moment. All she knew was the comfort that Eugene’s scent gave her.
Her scorching palm enveloped his slender fingertips, and she pulled him toward her weakly. When she felt no response after a while, her brows knitted together. A thin layer of sweat had already formed on her forehead.
“Come here,” Melanie said, her voice uncharacteristically hoarse.
The brows on Euegen’s blank face twitched. After a brief pause, he fulfilled Melanie’s request and returned to her side.
The moment he reached her, Melanie got up and pounced on him, hugging his waist tightly. She pressed her forehead against his chest, breathing in the intoxicating scent emanating from him. Sweat formed on her forehead again. She seemed to be burning up.
After a moment of hesitation, Melanie released her hold on Eugene’s hand and instead began to remove her jacket. It was not enough, however. She started unbuttoning her shirt as well. Just as she unbuttoned the top two buttons, Eugene grabbed her wrist.
His eyes were dark, a mysterious gleam flickering within them. His throat tightened, and the hand he used to grab Melanie’s wrist felt like it was scalding.
Feeling her soft body pressed against him, Eugene’s throat bobbed. He gripped the waist of the woman who was constantly pressing herself against him. His eyes were dark as he said in a low, hoarse voice, “Look carefully at who I am.”

Melanie was stunned for a moment. Then, she reached out to wrap her arms around his neck. She once again brought her body close. She bit his earlobe lightly and sighed. “I know.”
In the middle of the night, a heavy rainstorm arrived and washed the streets of Jepton clean.
It was officially autumn, and the temperature dropped considerably the next morning. Melanie felt like she had been run over by a car. Her whole body ached.
She sniffed the sticky smell in the air, and a slight frown appeared on her forehead. She was not an inexperienced young woman, so she did not make a big fuss about what happened last night.
Even though she did not know what exactly transpired later in the night, she remembered clearly that she had bumped into Eugene in the corridor
