A Love Trap novel Chapter 2

Andrew Lu found a woman standing in the room when he opened the door. Under any other circumstances, he would have thrown out somebody who entered his room without his permission.

But the second he saw Ashley, he was rooted to the spot.

Something stirred within him and, sure enough, something hardened inside his towel.

Andrew was surprised at his body's reaction to this stranger. He never imagined that someone like Ashley would turn him on. For one, he was extremely fussy when it came to women. His strange aversion to women's perfumes was a testament to this fact.

That explained why he wasn't seen with any women.

Pushing that thought aside, his face turned grim. 'Only a few people know I'm here right now. Who sold me out?' Andrew thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Ashley sauntered towards him but tripped and fell right into his arms.

When their eyes met, Andrew felt his pulse quicken.

"Oh my!" He whispered.

Regaining control of his senses, he frowned at the woman in his arms, trying his best to look annoyed at the intrusion.

He stood there, his face like thunder. His disdain for the woman was clearly written across his face.

Ashley, however, relished the feel of his cool skin on her, and before she could stop herself, she was hugging his taut waist.

"Mmm! That's so nice!" she murmured.

To her, Andrew was nothing more than a huge chunk of ice meant to douse the drug-induced fire coursing through her body.

She was losing consciousness by now.

But more importantly, she wasn't behaving like herself as the man she was unknowingly seducing was way out of her league.

"It's so hot..." she whispered. The effects of the drug continued to ravage her body. She felt as though her insides were burning up and finally broke down.

Andrew already regretted not pushing her away at first, but now he felt much worse as this woman shamelessly took advantage of him.

Yet, for some reason he was reluctant to reject her. 'Could it be because she doesn't wear the strong perfume that I loathe on most women?' he pondered.

Everything, including Andrew's face, had turned blurry for Ashley. Andrew carried her over to the bed and laid her down.

Her rippling black hair fell in a thick mass around her. Her purple dress slipped from her shoulder, revealing her creamy skin.

Her petite face was flushed. Her skin had turned pink. And beads of sweat ran down from her white forehead. Her rosy lips looked more inviting as she bit them.

Watching this luscious woman before him, Andrew broke into a sweat despite having stepped out of a cold shower just minutes ago.

"You've brought this upon yourself!" he growled.

The lust in his eyes turned to fire as he threw himself to her.

...

She grabbed the bed for support and tried to get up but suddenly a warm hand gripped hers.

Ashley looked up to find that the man was awake.

He was quietly observing her, a strange emotion sparkling in his attractive eyes, which would have made any woman go weak in the knees.

Without bothering about niceties, Ashley blurted out,"They are looking for me. You'd better hide now. You can leave after I go."

"I can take care of this for you," he offered after a while of silence, just before Ashley almost lost her patience. His voice was deep and still a little hoarse as he had just woken up - it sounded so intoxicating. Which woman could resist such an attractive voice?

Ashley, however, was an exception.

She knew that anyone who could afford to live here was either rich or powerful, or both! This man could help her get rid of Peggy once and for all. After all, they didn't have the balls to go against a powerful man like him. After a moment's hesitation, Ashley decided to take a chance.

But she hadn't expected this stranger to offer to help her even before she asked. She believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world but right now she was so grateful for his offer.

"And what do you want in return?" she asked warily. Although she was reluctant to accept the stranger's offer, she knew she needed his protection. After all, she didn't want to be unprepared when she faced them. She knew nothing of their plans.

"Kiss me!" he demanded.

Ashley was so shocked that she couldn't speak. 'What?'

Ashley looked at Andrew in confusion.

"Kiss me!" Andrew said again. He was the sort of man who got what he wanted without ever having to repeat his words, but seeing Ashley's baffled expression, he couldn't help but ask again.
