Bought For A Baby, Kept For A Lifetime-Chapter 211: Sneaking Around

Anne decided to wait for a while, the light and water suddenly going off could be a temporary blackout.

But after waiting for two whole minutes, the lights still didn’t come back on. What was going on?

And what was with this terrible timing? Of all the times the water could just randomly stop, it had to be when she was in the shower. And she still had leave in shampoo in her hair!

"Great." She could only sigh, looking around thoughtfully for anything that could give her ideas on what to do but there was no other way, if the lights didn’t come back on she might as well end up turning to stone while waiting in the bathroom.

It would be better to go out and check if this happened in the whole manor or if it was mainly in her part of the house.

Grabbing a towel, Anne wrapped it around herself and went out of the bathroom warily peeking into her bedroom first to make sure no one was there.

Her room was extremely dark, but through the entrance door, she could catch a glimpse of light creeping in from the cracks beneath the door.

Was the problem really in her room alone?

She hurried towards the door and slowly opened it, sure enough the hallway was fully illuminated while her own room was darker than a graveyard.

As Anne stepped out of her room, she was about to call someone to ask why the water and lights in her room were no longer working when she quickly stopped herself.

Could she really let anyone see her like this?

She knew if she called the butler, he would be able to find a solution for her but how extremely embarrassing would it be to let the poor man see her like this, body still covered in foam and her hair looking like that of a ghost.

Since the problem was in her room she could just walk into any other room and wash off fully then she’ll report the problem in her room later.

Finding that idea a lot more plausible Anne began to move but suddenly halted again.

On this specific hallway there were only two rooms, hers and the master bedroom facing it, which was Andrew’s room. To find another room she would have to leave this side and walk down to the lower floor, and doing that the whole manor staff might as well see her half naked because they would most likely still be all around the manor at this time. The only safest place she could choose to go was the room across from hers.

But... Andrew seeing her like this would be even worse. She would rather drown into the ground than let him see her like this.

But then he could still be in his study by now. From the few times she had actively listened to when he would return to his room at night, it was always extremely late, he spent most of his spare time in his study.

If he wasn’t already in his room right now which she was quite sure he wasn’t, she could sneak in and go clean up in his bathroom before he’d come back, and then she would leave immediately she was done, get properly dressed before going to find a way to fix her room’s issue.

Thinking of this, Anne stealthily made her way to the master bedroom, cautiously knocking lightly a few times and when there was no reply from the inside, she was certain he really wasn’t in his room.

She pulled the knob and thankfully it opened immediately. Anne happily slipped in, and entered the bathroom.

She stopped short for a while to admire the space, she had almost forgotten how ultra luxurious his bathroom looked.

The whole bathroom was spacious and open, the large windows showed a spectacular view of the evening sky, stars twinkling In the distance. The black and white marble flooring glistened reflecting the warm lighting that flooded the whole bathroom.

The statement piece in the bathroom was the large black bathtub that looked like it could fit two grown adults. Above the tub was a cascading crystal chandelier glimmering with warm lights that fell like rain.

Anne couldn’t help but let out a sigh after taking in the whole space.

This didn’t feel like a bathroom, it felt like a private spa.

Anne stepped into the glass enclosed shower and set the water to warm before taking off her towel and proceeding with her shower letting out a relieved sigh as the water poured down abundantly from the shower.

She rinsed off her hair, properly rinsed off her body and when she was fully satisfied she turned off the water and stepped out, her hand reaching for her towel where she had hung it but halted.

She couldn’t use this same towel again now, it must be soaked from her wrapping it around her body having not fully rinsed herself up earlier.

She looked here and there till she glimpsed two unused black towels folded and kept neatly, and she grabbed one of them.

"He won’t be mad if I borrow a towel right?"

Once again she snuck out of the bathroom into the bedroom, the coast looked fully clear.

Thankful that she’d actually pulled it off, Anne began to slowly sneak out of the bedroom but just when she reached the door, a sudden force from behind grabbed her elbow, she was forcefully yanked backwards and turned around where her back was facing the door before that force pushed her against the door itself caging her there. It all happened so fast in a split second. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Her pulse quickened as she perceived a familiar smell waft into her sense, a seductive fragrance of pure masculinity mixed with hints of wood and sensual musk.

Her gaze slowly raised, from his thick veined neck to his defined jaw, up his high nose bridge before she met his eyes, deep and penetrating.

"What are you doing sneaking around in my room?"

His question held no hostility, instead there were hints of amusement and hidden delight.

Anne felt like a kid suddenly caught in the act of doing something bad. With him trapping her like this, his body so close she could feel his warmth seep into hers, she was flustered enough she couldn’t fully think of words to say.

"I just needed to use your bathroom, the shower in my room was..." She began explaining after regaining her bearing but he didn’t allow her to finish talking before she suddenly felt her legs lift off from the floor.

One second she was talking and the next he suddenly lowered himself, and in a fluid motion he raised her up, her body sliding against his while his arms gripped around her thighs bringing her face level with his.

Anne gasped softly, the sudden friction of him lifting her like this made her nipples harden.

His gaze danced over her face taking her in with a playful yet fiery hunger dancing in his orbs.

With her still in his arms, he moved to the other side of the room where a decorative surface in the room held a flower vase which he shifted to the side placing her on the surface. His palms laid on either side of her thighs as he leaned closer to her face,

"Go on. You were saying?"
