?<strong>Chapter 874:</strong>


    Jayden let out a chuckle, amused by her naivety. “You think we’re together out of love or something? Our world doesn’t work like that. It’s all about power ys and self-interest. Your way of thinking is sweet, but it’s a bit naive, you know?”


    As she felt Jayden’s hand begin to lift her skirt, Elyse panicked. “What do you think you’re doing? We’re in a stairwell! Stop this nonsense!”


    Jayden leaned in even closer, his voice soothing yet tinged with urgency. “Rx, sweetheart. There’s no surveince here. Besides, whenever I’m near you, my self-control just slips away. I can’t hold back any longer.”


    “Believing Jayden had lost his senses, Elyse struck him multiple times and growled, “We’re in a hotel! Anyone coulde by at any moment!”


    Jayden did his best to soothe her, whispering softly, “There are two banquets today, so the hotel staff won’t bother us here. Keep your voice down if you’re worried. It’s not my fault if they hear you.”


    Before Elyse could respond, Jayden pushed her against the wall and quickly pulled her panties off. It had been a long while since theyst had sex. Jayden inhaled sharply, and Elyse winced.


    “Jayden… you son of a…” Elyse cried out, but Jayden, hearing her, felt deep remorse.


    He held her closely, whispering, “Sorry, babe. I’ve been reckless. Aarya drugged me. She won’t get away with this.”


    Elyse struggled to keep quiet, clinging to Jayden as she covered her mouth to muffle her sobs.


    At first, Jayden managed to control himself, but as time passed, he became rougher.


    “Stop it! I can’t handle this anymore. I have to go back to the banquetter, Jayden…” Elyse couldn’t bear it any longer, tears spilling down her face.


    Jayden took a deep breath, his voice raspy and filled with desperation, “I’ve missed you so much, honey. I’m losing control.”


    “Stop it! I won’t see you again if you go too far,” Elyse warned him, her voice shaking.


    Jayden sighed against her lips, “I understand.” But instead of stopping, he only intensified his actions, lifting her leg and holding her close as he continued.


    Elyse tried to speak again but found herself overwhelmed by his intensity.


    After a while, Jayden clenched his teeth and groaned as he reached his climax. Elyse couldn’t hold back her own moans, copsing into his arms afterward.


    Sobbing, she muttered, “Clean it up! You can’t leave that inside me.”


    Jaydenforted her gently, patting her back, “Okay, it’s my fault. I’ll take care of it. Don’t be upset with me.”


    After catching her breath and feeling better, Elyse noticed that Jayden’s usual arrogance had been reced with humility. It was a strange change from his typical demeanor.


    Once she had rested, Jayden knelt down, pulled out a handkerchief, and carefully cleaned her.


    Embarrassed, Elyse noticed how focused Jayden was on her intimate areas, which made her feel a mix of shyness and difort.


    “Rx,” Jayden said softly. “Otherwise, I can’t clean you properly.”


    “Be careful when you do it!” Elyse snapped, her voice tinged with insecurity.


    Jaydenughed softly, replying, “Yes, ma’am.”
