Devilish secretary - Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Punishment Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Punishment His hand slid up her thigh, his calloused fingers grazing her smooth skin, while his other hand tangled in her hair, pulling her even closer.

The way she kissed back fierce, unrelenting, fire itself made him lose the last thread of restraint.

His tongue slid against hers, exploring, claiming, teasing.

Lilith’s nails dug into his shoulders, dragging down his shirt as her legs wrapped around his waist.

Alexander broke the kiss, his lips swollen, his breathing ragged.

He pinned her down, his eyes dangerously dark.

“No more teasing, Lilith.” His voice dropped into a growl.

Alexander’s heated stare darkened, but before he could devour her completely, Lilith tilted her head and smirked.

“I think we can’t.” Alexander’s brows furrowed, his sharp gaze locking onto her teasing expression.

His voice dropped, deep and sinful, sending a shiver through the air.

“And why is that, Lili?” Lilith sat up, crossing her arms deliberately, pushing her chest up just enough to tempt him further.

Alexander’s eyes instinctively flickered down, and her smirk widened.

“My eyes are up here, Human Doll.” Alexander exhaled slowly, forcing himself to drag his gaze back to her face.

“First reason,” Lilith began, her voice silky with amusement.

“You said you’d only do this after marrying me.” Alexander regretted that statement instantly.

Damn it.

He was the one who had set that rule, thinking it would keep her out of his bed too soon.

But now?

The idea of making her completely his didn’t sound so bad.

His jaw tightened, but he exhaled through his nose, controlling himself.

“And the second reason?” he asked, arching a brow, already sensing trouble.

Lilith leaned in, her lips curving into a wicked smile.

“I’m on my period.” Alexander’s entire expression froze.

For a solid five seconds, he didn’t react.

Then, pure disbelief flickered across his face.

“You still pulled this stunt?!” His voice was gruff, low, a mix of grumpiness and frustration.

Hahaha!

She shamelessly stared at his bulge, amused.

She had completely trapped him.

Oh yeah, this was his punishment leaving him with blue balls.

How interesting right!

Noticing her smug expression, Alexander gritted his teeth.

“I’ll punish you for this,” he growled, watching her victorious expression as she reveled in his suffering.

But then his gaze cooled.

His lips curled up, and Lilith immediately sensed danger.

He climbed off the bed and glanced at her.

“Is this your first day?” Lilith, slightly suspicious, nodded.

“Why?” Alexander hummed thoughtfully, nodded to himself, and casually walked to the sofa.

He picked up his phone and downloaded a period tracker app.

He put his phone away, grabbed one of the casual outfits she had bought for him, and walked into the bathroom.

A moment later, the sound of cold water running filled the air.

Lilith smirked.

Serves him right.

**** Meanwhile…

Lilith wasn’t lying, she really did get her period.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have pads or tampons here.

Luckily, she always carried an emergency kit in her purse.

Smart move, Lilith!

She hummed to herself, feeling way too pleased after teasing her Human Doll.

Though, in the end, she did want him just as much.

But there were more important things to think about right now.

Who was the “Great God” talking about?

Her first suspect?

Grandma Bria.

That old woman knew things.

Maybe Sienna?

…Nah.

That brainless human only knew how to scream “Sebbbvyyyyyyy” like a broken parrot.

Lilith’s lips twitched in irritation.

Sienna needed another special punishment.

But she wasn’t the only one.

There was someone else she was forgetting… Ah.

That rat bastard.

And that so-called ‘soul bestie’ Lia.

Lilith’s eyes darkened.

Yes.

Those people.

She needed to keep a close eye on them.

*** The next morning, Lilith and Alexander decided to explore the city.

It was a place filled with history, with an old fortress and a grand palace standing as reminders of the past.

The streets were lively, with the sound of footsteps, car horns, and the occasional street musician playing soft tunes in the distance.

Lilith chose a comfortable yet stylish outfit, a simple black top with fitted jeans that hugged her figure just right.

She slipped on a pair of flat sandals, knowing they’d be walking a lot, and carried a small purse over her shoulder.

Her hair, slightly tousled from the morning breeze, framed her face as she adjusted the strap.

Alexander, as usual, looked effortlessly sharp in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, the fabric slightly wrinkled from movement.

He didn’t seem like the kind of man who cared about sightseeing, but here he was, waiting beside the car, keys in hand, as if this were just another business task he needed to check off his list.

He had asked his assistant Quinn, to arrange a car for him.

To be honest, it was newly purchased.

Without a word, he opened the door, and Lilith slid into the passenger seat.

The car’s interior smelled of leather and faint cologne, the scent clean and familiar.

Alexander got in, started the engine, and drove onto the main road.

For a while, neither of them spoke.

The city passed by in a blur, narrow streets with small cafés, lively markets filled with locals, and towering historical buildings that told stories of another time.

Lilith glanced at him.

“You don’t seem like the type who enjoys sightseeing,” she said, resting her arm against the window.

“Hmm!

Right… That’s why I’m here.” His voice was steady at first, but then something changed.

Lilith blinked, her fingers stilling on her purse strap as she turned to him.

Something about the way he spoke felt different, and when she looked into his eyes, she knew why.

That look.

A familiar, mysterious darkness flickered behind his gaze, something unreadable yet oddly recognizable.

It wasn’t the sharp confidence of Alexander.

He didn’t say anything more, didn’t move, just watched her-quietly, intently.

Lilith’s heart gave the smallest, almost imperceptible skip.

Gray.

Then, without another word, he turned his attention back to the road, his fingers tightening slightly around the steering wheel.

A long silence stretched between them, the only sound being the soft hum of the engine and the occasional rustle of wind against the car.

Lilith leaned back, staring out the window at the passing city, her thoughts circling like a quiet storm.

“I thought Alexander was the one going out with me.” Her voice was calm.

There was no immediate response.

Then, without looking at her, he spoke.

“Why?

You don’t like me?”
