Chapter 3 Between Them

• They were at the General Order Nightclub.
• Clara sat on a chair and pulled up the neckline of her dress uncomfortably. However, that made the hem of her dress even shorter.
• She looked at how excited Aari seemed and felt she had fallen into a trap.
• Aari had given her a V neck strapped short dress and applied a thick make up that made Clara unrecognizable.
• "When are we leaving?" Clara asked. Her head was hurting after drinking too much alcohol.
• "What's the rush? Men that come here are military officers of lieutenant rank and above. They are strong, high ranking with powerful background and are good looking. You can choose any one of them to have a wonderful time tonight." Aari revealed her motive.
• She had long heard about Clara's marriage troubles, and planned to do this since she heard about Clara's husband's affairs.
• Since Jon was a high-ranking military officer, Aari planned to find someone of even higher rank and cuckold him.
• Clara pressed her hand to her forehead. She closed her eyes to try to alleviate her headache. "You are crazy. I don't want to do that."
• Suddenly, Aari glanced at the door and saw an intimidating man walk in.
• Even the manager of the establishment rushed to welcome him.
• The man did not come into the main area. Instead, the manager bowed and guided him to the exorbitant Diamond Private Lounge.
• Most importantly, that man was extremely good-looking. He had chiseled and well-formed facial features, making him look like a divine work of art.
• I've found the right man for Clara.
• Thus, Aari raised her hand at the bartender and said slyly, "Give me a glass of plain water."
• The bartender handed Aari a glass of water.
• Then, Aari put in the drug she prepared and handed the glass of water to Clara. "Clara, wake up and drink this water. I will get someone to send you to bed."
• Clara did not suspect anything and took a few gulps of the water.
• Soon, she felt heat rising from her bones and spreading all over her body. Her vision became blurry, and her limbs felt like jelly.
• She leaned against Aari.
• Aari helped Clara up, supported her to the Diamond Private Lounge, and knocked on the door.
• James opened the door. He looked at Aari indifferently and said, "Who are you looking for?"
• Aari was stunned by his domineering presence.
• He looked so handsome at a close distance that Aari could barely breathe.
• However, she steeled herself for the sake of Clara's happiness.
• "Sir, I have an urgent matter. Can you help me to take care of my friend?" Aari pushed Clara to him.
• James glanced at the woman Aari was supporting and widened his eyes when he realized she was Clara.
• He grabbed Clara by her arm as she was about to fall.
• Meanwhile, Clara leaned against his shoulder.
• The strong smell of alcohol filled the room.
• Confusion appeared on James' face.
• He looked at the door and saw that the woman had disappeared.
• Then, James looked down at Clara and saw her cheeks flush with desire. He narrowed his eyes at the sight.
• He knew it was not safe for her here. Thus, he carried her in his arms and said to his friend. "I'll be leaving first."
• After saying that, he left without a backward glance.
• Clara looked up at James blearily.
• She saw many overlapping shadows before her, and could not see clearly the face of the man holding her.
• Furthermore, she began to hallucinate.
• Her body felt unbearably hot. She gritted her teeth and felt herself growing wet.
• James entered the VIP elevator.
• Suddenly, Clara held his face.
• James was stunned by her boldness, but he stared ahead resolutely.
• "Can you sleep with me tonight?" Clara said softly.
• A frown appeared on his expressionless face. His irises grew darker as he looked at her.
• Memories from three years ago flooded his mind.
• He remembered how good her body felt. At the time, his mind was clouded from being drugged. He could not stop himself from ravaging her even though she pleaded him to stop.
• Instead, her plea further inflamed his desire.
• James looked away from her face and said coldly, "You are drunk."
• However, Clara refused to give up.
• Why wouldn't he touch me?
• She pulled his face to her and pressed her lips against his.
• It felt magical the moment their lips touched.
• James forced himself to remain still and not react. But he did not back away from her either.
• Her tongue glided across his lips before delving into his mouth. She kissed him tenderly and moaned without inhibition.
• James felt his lower abdomen tightening with desire.
• Clara became daring in her drunken state. It made her even more alluring.
• She had grown more mature and seductive after three years.
• It was James who took her virginity and made her a woman.
• Now, she turned even more enchanting.
• The elevator door chimed and parted.
• James turned his face away and headed straight to the car.
• Clara found the desire unbearable. Since she could not reach James' lips, she kissed his Adam's apple. She sucked it between her lips, leaving a red mark.
• Lieutenant Colonel Adler was waiting by the car. He opened his mouth in shock when he saw Clara and James. It was the first time James did not push away a woman kissing him.
• "Open the door," James ordered.
• "Yes." Lieutenant Colonel Adler rushed to open the car door.
• James placed Clara in the backseat before taking a seat beside her.
• Suddenly, she pushed herself at him and began fumbling to unbutton his shirt. Then, she leaned down to kiss him.
• Her tongue glided across his bare skin before stopping above his heart.
• James frowned and clenched his fist as he struggled not to lose control.
• Clara was saddened by the lack of response from James. She looked up with tear-filled eyes and said softly, "Please kiss me."
• James nearly lost all his resolve.
• Three years ago, she was innocent and pure as snow.
• Now, she was seductive like a temptress.
• Lieutenant Colonel Adler was curious and wanted to glance behind.
• James glared at him and ordered sternly, "Do not glance behind without my order!"
• Thus, Lieutenant Colonel Adler did not dare to look anymore. He sat straight and kept his gaze ahead.
• Meanwhile, Clara was saddened by James' unresponsiveness and felt heartbroken.
• She kissed his earlobe and asked dejectedly, "Do you hate touching me?"
• James gulped.
• Only the heavens knew how much resolve he needed at this moment.
• Apart from that time with her, James had never been with any other woman. Furthermore, he was a hot-blooded young man.
• He held her chin and tilted it as he looked into her eyes aggressively. His breath hot against her skin as he said, "Are you sure you want it?"
• Clara looked at him.
• She had never felt like this before. She felt a little fearful but also anticipated what he would do.
• She and Jon are married. They must have had sex before, isn't it?
• Clara's eyes grew red with desire. She nodded shyly.
• His eyes gleamed, and his face turned stern as he said, "Don't regret your decisions!"
• Lieutenant Colonel Adler's ears turned red from hearing the conversation behind him. He asked cautiously, "Chief, would you like me to stop the car or send you to a hotel?"
• "Send us to the military base," James ordered.
• Adrian leaned down and kissed Clara's lips. The feeling of his warm tongue entangling with hers caused her to burn with desire.
• Then, he glided his hands down her chest before moving towards her left.
• Clara moaned softly.
• She had never been touched by anyone other than that mysterious man from three years ago.
• Thus, her body was sensitive to touch, causing her to tremble.
• James was surprised by her awkward and unpracticed reaction.
• Does this mean she has never slept with Jon?
• How is this possible? They have been married for three years.
• The thought troubled him.
• However, he decided not to think about it but held her waist and deepened their kiss.
• Their breathing grew rapid and sensual in the tight confines of the car, heating up the air around them.
