Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Why was he asking her about this? Lily bit her bottom lip, nodded quickly, and turned her head away from him. Alexander did not need any further explanation as her reactions were clear enough. He got up to grab another bath towel, then wrapped it securely around Lily while also pulling out a blanket to cover her.

His gesture surprised Lily, and she turned to look at him. When Alexander saw she was staring at him, he bowed down and gave her a peck on her forehead. He was stopped as Lily took hold of his hand. She raised her head to look at him, her voice still husky: “What‘s the meaning of this?”

Alexander looked at the small hand that was firmly holding his. It made him feel like she needed him.

“Why?” Lily asked in confusion. “There‘s no need to rush this. I‘ll wait until you‘re ready.” Alexander raised his other hand and stroked her head lovingly.

He had thought Lily was experienced after all those years with Nathaniel. However, this incident had proved him wrong. Alexander never expected that Lily would still be innocent and ignorant of this, which pleasantly surprised him.

Alexander was not an old–fashioned man. Truthfully, he did not care if she was a virgin, but he was mindful of her feelings. Lily was obviously unprepared to take their relationship further and was nervous about it. It would only hurt her if he insisted on carrying on while ignoring her discomfort.

Being in love with your partner was beautiful, and he did not want this chance to be destroyed because of his temporary urges. Beautiful things should be cherished and preserved until the best moment to present them.

Sadly, Lily could not understand Alexander‘s thoughts. His previous question surprised her, so she thought he was curious if he was her first. She grabbed his hands and answered determinedly, “I‘m ready!”

Although Lily sounded firm, her eyes said otherwise. She appeared terrified and anxious, as though she were about to be executed. Alexander smiled in defeat as he moved to sit gently by her side. He extended his arms and pulled her into his embrace. He lifted her chin slightly, so their eyes would meet. “Do you love me?” he asked, gazing deep into her eyes. Lily did not give Alexander an immediate answer. This question caught her off guard.
