Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Energetic Henry

The phone rang just as Henry and Crystal finished sharing an intimate moment together.

While Crystal was utterly exhausted, Henry’s desire seemed insatiable. He gently wrapped his arm around her waist, teasing her playfully.

Unable to withstand his advances, the woman bit her lip and protested, “Stop teasing me. I want to take a bath!”

Henry’s eyes twinkled with affection as he whispered tenderly into Crystal’s ear, “I’ll prepare the bath for you.”

He couldn’t resist the urge to lightly caress her earlobe, which was tinged with a faint blush and adorned with fine hair.

In a shy attempt to avoid his touch, Crystal pulled the blanket up to cover her face.

“Are you feeling shy now? Who was the one clinging onto me earlier, not willing to let go?” Henry enveloped her in his arms before gently prying the blanket away to reveal her face.

He wants to bully me again…

“I don’t feel well. Please let me take a bath,” Crystal pleaded.

Henry chuckled softly. “Why are you so afraid?” Brushing aside her damp hair, he tenderly kissed Crystal’s forehead. He then released her and climbed out of bed.

Although he possessed an impressive physique, Crystal dared not gaze upon it.

The sound of running water emanated from the bathroom.

After five minutes had passed, Henry made his way out of the bathroom to carry Crystal. The latter, clad in a towel, blushed and asserted her independence. “I can walk by myself.”

Henry decided to respect her wishes.

Hence, while Crystal soaked herself in the bathtub, he quickly showered in the adjacent bathroom.

After returning to the bedroom, he reclined against the headboard and relaxed. He reached for a cigarette, savoring the moment. The recent progress in the case had allowed him to indulge in self- gratification.

Just then the phone on the bedside table rang.

Henry furrowed his brows, wondering who would be calling at this late hour.

With the cigarette hanging from his lips, he picked up the phone and answered, his voice slightly muffled. “This is Henry Miller.”

On the other end of the line was Wilson Jones, the police captain.

He said enthusiastically, “Mr. Miller, you’re still awake! I apologize for disturbing your evening. You see… We have a dispute involving your future brother-in-law. Would it be possible for you to come over?”

Robert?

Henry exhaled a plume of smoke and said coldly, “So you know I’m enjoying my nightlife, yet you’re asking me to come? I am not Robert’s guardian, you know.”

Wilson replied cautiously, “Mr. Sloan got into a fight at the club. If you’re unavailable, should we invite Ms. Miller to handle the situation?”

Henry scoffed and continued to smoke leisurely. His cheeks were slightly sunken from the exertion, lending him an undeniably alluring and seductive presence.

Meanwhile, Wilson struggled to discern Henry’s attitude. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

With bated breath, he anxiously awaited a response, not daring to rush the man, either.

After a moment of silence, Henry suddenly chuckled. “Mr. Sloan requested that I come, didn’t he?”

D*mn! He’s incredible!

However, Wilson knew better than to meddle in their personal affairs. Hence, he merely responded with a wry chuckle.

“All right, I’ll be there shortly.”

After hanging up the phone, Henry rose from his seat and changed into a fresh set of clothes. He lightly tapped on the bathroom glass door and said, “I need to attend to some matters outside. You can sleep first; don’t wait up for me.”

Crystal couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment.

Is he really leaving tonight?

Sensing her upset, Henry knelt by the edge of the bathtub, and his hand reached into the waters. However, Crystal blushed and held onto his arm, preventing him from going too far with his ministrations.

“It’s for official matters. I’ll be back soon,” he said in a husky voice.

Crystal clung to Henry, unwilling to let him go.

She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and boldly pressed her lips against his in a passionate kiss.

After a lingering moment, Henry whispered against her flushed lips, “I just changed my clothes, and now they’re soaked because of you…”

Crystal’s face turned even redder.

In high spirits, the man tided himself before leaving the room.

Then, he made his way to the police station in haste.

Wilson welcomed Henry with warmth and gratitude. “Mr. Miller, we truly appreciate you coming over at this late hour.”

He gave a thumbs-up and continued, “It’s already two in the morning, yet you’re brimming with energy. Ah, to be young again.”
