Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 531

"It's inside that shelf over there, at the doorway. I'm so sorry for all this trouble," Stefan said while panting softly, as

if he was so frail that he couldn't do anything himself.

He had truly mastered the art of being a knight in distress.

Renee found the first aid kit, which contained bandages, antiseptic cream, and some basic essentials.

As she got to the sofa, she stared at the man's perfect facial structure, along with his beautifully sculpted body and

frosty aura. The woman thought to herself, 'What eye candy! He's like a damn incubus!'

"Take your shirt off," Renee ordered, looming over him like an experienced maneater.

'Oh my god, she's so bold!'

This time, Stefan was the one who felt quite bashful, and covered his chest with both arms, asking, "Why? I can't do

much in my current state... But if you insist, I'll still try and do my best to please you."

Renee's cheeks turned red as she clenched her jaw. "What are you thinking? I was going to apply medicine for you!

How am I supposed to do that with your shirt on?!"

His shirt had been torn from the whip's impact, and with the bloodstains from his wounds, it looked as if there were

roses blooming from his body. It complemented his delicate demeanor, and she couldn't help but want to gawk in

awe for just a little longer.

However, she had to ask him to strip, for the sake of applying medicine on his wounds.

"Oh..." Stefan's voice sounded slightly disappointed.

He was quite excited a while ago, ready to 'sacrifice' himself despite his injuries, just to satisfy her desires. Yet... she

had just wanted to help treat his wounds all along.

’No matter. We have all the time in the world. I'm sure my fit body will seduce her at some point!'

Stefan's slender fingers unbuttoned his shirt slowly, revealing his seductive collarbones, then his broad chest and

washboard abs...

Renee’s eyes were fixated on the man, as if she was admiring a beautiful masterpiece. She even started blushing

the more she watched, making her face seem like a juicy peach. Her usual cold demeanor was gone, and she

looked quite cute like this.

She thought to herself, 'Tsk tsk, just look at that body... As expected of the star escort of the pub! If this is what I get

to see for free, and from such a close distance, it was worth coming by tonight!'

"Your face looks a little red, should I stop?” Stefan felt quite conflicted seeing Renee falling for him slowly. In a way,

he was happy about his undeniable charm. On the other hand, he found the woman too easily tempted, which

could mean that she might run off with some random beauty given the chance.

'Turns out I can't relax for even a second -1 have to perfect my figure to catch her eye!'

"Do I need to?" Stefan's passionate eyes gazed at the woman, his voice husky as he tempted her. "If you need it, I

can continue."

"Enough! Y-You don't have to!" Renee was so embarrassed that she stammered, waving her hands to stop him.

If he continued stripping, they would be exploring the nether regions at that point, and she didn't know if she could

hold herself back then.

Stefan smirked, raising an eyebrow. "Okay then, you can start applying the medicine now."

The man then closed his eyes, laying on the sofa with his sexy torso exposed. He looked as if he was trying to

seduce her, while giving her full permission to every part of him.

Seeing this made Renee's heart pound vigorously, and she blurted out,' Well, don't mind if I do... I mean, stay still,

okay?!"

She then took out a few cotton buds and smeared them with antiseptic cream. Renee gently and delicately

disinfected his wounds.

"Good thing that lady held back for your sake, these wounds don't seem to be too deep."

Stefan smiled softly, thinking to himself, 'Of course she held back, it was all just for show. But I am quite satisfied

with that woman's acting.'

After that, it was time for her to bandage the wounds. "This might hurt a little."

She then brought out a gauze bandage and slowly wrapped it around his torso. As she did, the first thing she

noticed was how hard his abs were. The man's muscles were just right to the touch. It was as if he had the perfect

ratio of muscle and fat.

She wondered, 'Oh god, not only does he somewhat look like Stefan, his body feels so similar to his too! This is

killing me!'

At that moment, Renee was seeing the escort as Stefan's substitute. She wasn't able to enjoy such privileges when

she was still with Stefan, but now, with this escort, she could touch him wherever she wanted... It was truly an

exciting, scandalous thought.

Stefan narrowed his eyes, pressing his lips together as he let out a soft moan. He looked as if he was in pain.

Renee was frantic. "I'm sorry! Does it hurt? Hold on a little longer, I'll make this quick!"

Stefan took a few gulps, the veins on his neck starting to become visible. He was obviously trying to hide his pain.

"I'm alright."

"O-Okay, I'm done. You can put your shirt back on." Renee quickly finished and got up, intending to keep a distance

from the man.

'I let my hands wander a little too much just now! Forgive me!' She thought.

Suddenly, Stefan grabbed her by the wrist and pinned her down, taking the lead this time as he stared at her with

fiery eyes.

"Wh... What are you doing?" Renee felt slightly nervous.

The man's eyes looked like they held some kind of enchantment, making her feel as if she was trapped with eternal

butterflies in her stomach.

"How could I not repay you when you've saved me, and personally treated my wounds?"

"Uh, you don't have to, it's really not a big deal! You don't have to repay me with your body..."

"I hope you don't hate me..." Stefan murmured and leaned down, softly kissing her neck with his thin lips. Seeing

the woman's earlobes turning red, he couldn't help but feel rather pleased.

Renee shook her head, making sure she maintained a clear mind so that she wouldn't succumb to this incubus'

temptation.

"I may be a divorcee, but even if my ex-husband died, he's still my first love! You can't do anything you want just

because you kind of look like him..." Renee warned with a cold expression, her leg poised to kick the man off of her.

Stefan was about to burst out in laughter, but seeing how Remee was going to attack him, he explained in a serious

tone, "You've misunderstood me, I wasn't going to..."

"So what were you going to do then?"

"I heard from your best friend that you've been in a bad mood lately, and you'd likely need someone to listen to you

vent your emotions. I'm actually a professional at this," Stefan said in a soothing voice, tricking her even further.

This made Renee quite intrigued, so much so that she fully ignored the intimacy of their current position. "Stop

beating around the bush. If you weren't talking about that, what else could you be a professional at?"
