Chereads / My Divine Harem / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 Touch

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 Touch

The group finally made their way back to the hotel around 1 a.m., the night air cool and refreshing after the heat of the dance floor. 

Three sleek cars of bodyguards followed closely behind, their presence a constant reminder of the group's high status. 

The evening at the club had been lively, filled with music, laughter, and more than a few admiring glances. 

However, not everyone had been content to simply watch from afar—several young men had tried to cause trouble, perhaps emboldened by the alcohol coursing through their veins. 

But those attempts were swiftly shut down. The bodyguards, ever vigilant, didn't hesitate to step in, making sure the situation never escalated. 

A few sharp words and even sharper glares were enough to slap the would-be troublemakers into line. 

It was clear: not even the most brazen men could resist testing their luck when such beauty and wealth were involved.

As they arrived at the hotel, the group began to disperse, exhaustion beginning to take its toll. 

The earlier excitement of the night had faded into a comfortable weariness. 

"Goodnight, girls! See you in the morning," Sophia called out, her voice warm and affectionate as she waved to her girlfriends. 

Each of them headed to their separate rooms, the luxurious hotel offering them all the privacy and comfort they could ask for. 

Sophia and James had their own suite, a spacious room with a large bed, plush carpets, and a stunning view of the ocean that lay dark and mysterious under the moonlight.

"Ahhh… it was a good day," James sighed as he entered their suite, his muscles aching pleasantly from the day's activities. 

Without a second thought, he began to strip off his clothes, discarding them carelessly on the floor until he was left in nothing but his boxers. 

The bed, with its soft, thick blankets, beckoned him, and he eagerly slid beneath the covers, letting out a contented sigh as the warmth enveloped him. 

It had been a long day—sunshine, swimming, dancing, and the constant buzz of being surrounded by people. 

Now, all he wanted was to rest, to let sleep claim him after such an eventful day.

Sophia, however, had other plans. While James settled into bed, she made her way to the washroom, her mind buzzing with anticipation. 

Tonight wasn't just any night—it was the night she had decided to take their relationship to the next level. 

Almost a year together, and James had never once pressured her for anything more than what she was willing to give. 

It was one of the things she loved most about him, but tonight, she was ready to show him just how much that meant to her.

In the washroom, Sophia took her time. She let the hot water cascade over her body, washing away the remnants of the day. 

She massaged fragrant shampoo into her hair, the scent of roses filling the air, and then she meticulously scrubbed her skin until it was smooth and soft. 

Every detail mattered—she wanted everything to be perfect. After her shower, she stood before the mirror, taking in her reflection. 

Her cheeks were still slightly flushed from the excitement of the evening, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation. 

She wrapped herself in a plush bathrobe, the fabric soft against her skin, and took a deep breath to steady her nerves.

When she finally emerged from the washroom, an hour had passed. 

James was already dozing, his breathing slow and steady, but Sophia was determined not to let the night end there. With a silent grace, she tiptoed over to the bed, her movements light and careful. 

She slipped under the covers beside James, her heart pounding in her chest as she carefully adjusted herself next to him. 

The warmth of his body, the steady rise and fall of his chest, all served to heighten her resolve.

Tonight was going to be special, a night she had promised herself she would remember forever. 

As she lay there, her body close to his, Sophia felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness. She wanted to savor this moment, to let it unfold naturally. 

With a soft smile, she leaned in closer, her lips just a breath away from his ear, and whispered his name, her voice tender and filled with love. 

The night was still young, and Sophia was ready to make it unforgettable.

"James, are you still awake?"

"Hmmmm…" James murmured, his voice low and husky as he feigned the groggy sound of just waking up. In truth, he had been lying there wide awake, his heart pounding with anticipation. 

The excitement coursing through him was nearly unbearable. 

He had waited for this moment for almost a year, a time filled with restraint and careful patience. 

Now, as the moment he had longed for was finally within reach, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his own self-control. 

It had taken everything in him to be the perfect gentleman, to never push her boundaries, and now he was about to be rewarded for his patience.

"What's the matter, Sophia? Are you hungry? Should I order some midnight snacks for you?" James asked, his voice soft and tender as he opened his eyes to take in the sight before him. 

Sophia laid beside him on the bed, her silhouette framed by the dim, ambient lighting of the room. 

She was wrapped in a thick, luxurious bathrobe, the plush fabric clinging softly to her curves. 

Her hair, still damp from her shower, was twisted up into a towel, leaving her face exposed, fresh and glowing.

She was breathtaking, even more so in this intimate setting. 

Every detail about her—the way her robe hinted at the softness of her skin, the delicate flush on her cheeks, the vulnerability in her eyes—was utterly captivating. 

James couldn't help but admire her, drinking in the sight as if trying to memorize every curve, every nuance.

This wasn't the first time they had shared a bed, but each time before, James had held back, never letting his desires get the better of him. 

It had been a test of his willpower, a conscious effort to respect her pace and wishes. 

He had always wanted Sophia to feel safe and valued, never pressured or rushed. 

And so, he had been content to simply hold her close, to fall asleep with the warmth of her body beside him, all while quietly yearning for more.

But tonight was different. He could feel it in the air, a charged energy between them that hadn't been there before. 

It was in the way Sophia's eyes lingered on him, in the subtle tension that hung in the silence. 

She was here, so close to him on the bed, looking at him with a mixture of nervousness and determination that made his heart race even faster.

As his eyes roamed over her, taking in the sight of her delicate features framed by the towel, the way the robe hinted at the soft skin beneath, he felt a swell of emotion. 

This was Sophia, the woman he had come to love deeply, and she was about to offer him something precious. 

His mind raced with thoughts of what was to come, his body responding to the anticipation that had been building up for months.

He didn't want to rush her, didn't want to do anything that would make her feel uncomfortable or pressured. 

So he kept his tone light, his question casual, even as every nerve in his body screamed at him to close the distance between them, to pull her into his arms and show her just how much he had been waiting for this.

But he remained patient, watching as Sophia took a small, almost hesitant touch on her body. 

The way she moved, the slight tremor in her hands as she adjusted the tie of her robe, told him everything he needed to know. 

She was ready, and that realization filled him with a mix of relief, joy, and a deep, almost overwhelming sense of gratitude.

James felt his heart swell with affection as he waited for her to make the first move, his body practically vibrating with the anticipation of what was to come. 

He could hardly believe that this moment was finally happening, that after all the waiting, all the nights spent holding her close but never crossing that line, they were finally going to take that next step together.

Sophia moved slowly, her eyes never leaving his as she slowly untied the belt of her robe, letting it fall open just slightly. 

The soft fabric slipped down her shoulders, revealing the smooth, bare skin beneath. 

James's breath caught in his throat, his heart pounding in his chest as he realized that this was really happening. 

Tonight was going to be special, a night they would both remember for the rest of their lives. 

And as she finally climbed on top of him, her body warm and inviting against his, James knew that all the waiting had been worth it.
