But he was not a natural executioner, after all. The enforced erasure of the traces of a life still left his nerves in a state of fatigued tension.

He thought that after this event, it was necessary to undergo some combat training, to gain control over his growing strength.

This time it was the motorcyclist; what if one day he accidentally harmed someone around him…

Just then, with a soft “click,” the bathroom door lock was opened from the outside.

Lin Yu’an’s body instantly tensed, like a leopard poised to pounce, and he suddenly opened his eyes!

Already, he had retrieved his Glock from his space, aiming at the doorway, ready to shoot at any moment!

There stood Emily, wearing only a set of tight, black lace underwear, her voluptuous and powerful curves faintly visible amidst the misty steam.

She showed no sign of shyness, her clear blue eyes calmly and boldly meeting Lin Yu’an’s gaze, undaunted by the gun.

She slowly walked into the bathroom, casually shutting the door behind her.

“What are you doing?” Lin Yu’an’s voice was deep, tinged with a hint of vigilance.

Emily did not answer but walked straight to the edge of the bathtub. Instead of entering immediately, she reached out with her slender fingers, gently dipping them into the warm water, as if testing the temperature, or perhaps testing his limits.

“You still don’t trust me, do you?” Her voice was very soft.

“What do you think? Should I trust you?” Lin Yu’an stood under the showerhead, calmly watching Emily with his gun raised.

Emily continued, “You’re always thinking about how to deal with me, this trouble, always guarding against me, fearing I will shoot you in the back.”

“Shouldn’t I? Emily, I don’t have time for riddles. You can tell me what you really want to do, what you plan to discuss with me?”

Emily fell silent, and Lin Yu’an didn’t continue speaking, only watching her coldly.

“Our fates were bound together completely from the moment you let me fire that shot.”

Emily slowly moved closer, her body approaching Lin Yu’an.

“I need you to trust me. I need to prove to you that I’m not your enemy but an ally you can fully possess. I don’t want to live in fear of being silenced by you at any moment.”

She paused, a trace of determination and allure flashing in her eyes, as she spoke in a near-whisper, “And the fastest, most complete way for a man to trust a woman is…”

Before she finished speaking, she kissed him with the scent of shower gel lingering and a body enveloped in steam!

It was a kiss full of probing, provocative, yet carrying a hint of submission.

For a moment, Lin Yu’an’s mind was blank! Then he instantly pushed her away!

This woman, her madness and boldness were completely beyond Lin Yu’an’s expectations!

He had just calmed the killing intent and unnatural feeling from taking a life after killing the motorcyclist.

At this moment, Emily reignited those feelings in a more primal way, transforming them into a completely different desire!

After confirming she carried no weapons, his reason, vigilance, and calculation gradually began to be devoured by that primal urge for conquest!

“Splish!”

Pushed away, Emily let out a short cry of surprise, but she lunged at him again, crashing heavily against Lin Yu’an’s rock-hard chest.

The black lace underwear she wore became almost transparent when soaked, tightly clinging to her healthily alluring body.

The shower continued to pour water, the temperature in the bathroom sharply rising amidst the steam and hormones.

Emily’s breath was rapid, her hands clinging tightly to Lin Yu’an, her nails almost digging into his hair.

Lin Yu’an held her tightly against him.

Passively accepting the gentle flow of the shower water.

Outside, Alaska’s polar day was painting the sky a rosy hue.

And in this wooden cabin bathroom, the most primal alliance was being formed.

In the gradually cooling hot water, the bond was fully established.

When the polar day came to an end.

Lin Yu’an did not rise immediately but lay quietly on the bed, feeling the steady breathing coming from beside him.

Emily curled up tiredly at his arm, sleeping deeply.

Last night’s alliance had drained all her energy and seemed to have relieved her of all defenses.

The sounds of the water in the cabin bathroom, the exchanged breaths, and the suppressed panting… scenes from last night replayed vividly in his mind like movie scenes.

With the cooling of his body, Lin Yu’an’s reason had completely returned.

He looked down at the mature, sexy, and wild woman in his arms, but felt little romance in his heart.

He was well aware that last night’s madness was less of an intense passion and more of a bond forged in a primal way.

Emily used her body to make an irreversible pledge, turning herself entirely into his possession to gain trust and protection.

And he accepted this pledge, but it did not mean unconditional trust.

At that moment, another face appeared vividly in his mind, Aliya’s, always graced with a gentle smile and pale green eyes.

A particularly complex emotion surged in his heart.

He could not hide the accidental killing from Aliya.

Nor could he hide the matter of Emily from Aliya, even if he could keep this relationship forever in the dark.

But Aliya is his wife; a man making mistakes against his wife isn’t terrifying. If he doesn’t dare to face the consequences the mistakes brought, then he is no better than a eunuch without courage.

When he finds a suitable opportunity, he will confess everything to Aliya.

He understands Aliya, the girl raised in a Mormon family surpasses conventional morality.

He believes that Aliya will understand that this uncontrolled incident’s consequences were not his intention.

With this thought, Lin Yu’an’s mind calmed a little.

He carefully withdrew his arm from beneath Emily’s neck and quietly slipped out of bed.

Lin Yu’an walked into the bathroom, and Emily opened her eyes.

She lay on her side on the bed, feeling the long-lost soreness and satisfaction from her body, and gazed at the ceiling with a complex expression.

Everything from last night seemed both a desperate gamble for survival and a long-repressed indulgence.

She did not know where her future destiny would lead, but she knew that at least today, she was safe.

Emily turned to face the bathroom, contemplating something unknown.

She then took out her phone and opened the China search engine, continuing to search for how to make a Chinese man pay more attention to her.

An article caught her attention.
