At that moment, somebody opened the door. Subconsciously, Xyla Quest clenched her fists tight as
goosebumps appeared all over her body. She began to throw punches in the direction of where the
sound came from.
Before her fist came into contact with anything, a large, warm hand grabbed hers. After that, Xyla was
pressed against the wall. She could smell the fragrance of mint-scented soap.
In the pitch-black room, Xyla could not see anything. Meanwhile, she felt the person’s body pressing
against hers affectionately.
Xyla began to relax when the scent of mint and cigarette wafted through her nostrils.
“What were you trying to do? Huh?” A deep yet sensual voice could be heard.
Xyla could feel his warm breath above her head. Her heart began to race as she felt something like an
electric current travelling through her body.

Xyla could feel a dampness over her fingers.
It appeared that Stanley Batton was not wearing any clothes, and he had only finished taking a shower.
Xyla was actually touching his muscular chest. Feeling tense all over her body, Xyla quickly pulled her
hand away.
The man chuckled a little. “Not bad. You are quite alert to danger.”
“Five Batton, when did you return? Why didn’t I hear any sound at all?” Xyla asked.
“I’ve been home for a while now. I took a shower after arriving. Perhaps you were busy and did not
hear me. When the electricity went out, I was worried you might be afraid. That’s why I came over to
check on you,” Stanley said.
Xyla immediately felt a warm sensation in her heart when she heard what Stanley said.
Standing in his original position, Stanley continued to breathe against her scalp.
Even in darkness, Xyla felt as if she had been tossed into a pit of flames. Her skin was heating up all
over her body.
“Five Batton, is your phone working? Turn on the torch light and check what happened to the
electricity,” she said.
“The circuit breaker probably tripped,” he said.
“Check it out, ” Xyla said.
“Your wish is my command,” Stanley said before letting Xyla go.
Very soon, he took his phone out and a bright light immediately appeared. The cold tone of the light
made his muscular chest and toned abs appear even sexier. With only a white towel wrapped at a low
position around his waist, his manly hip was also visible.
Xyla noticed droplets of water on his smooth, ninja.com cold skin. Under the bright light, it
seemed as if there were sparkling diamonds attached to his body. With his good-looking face, which

Xyla subconsciously lowered her head. “Put your clothes on.”
“Come with me…” Stanley grabbed her wrist gently and led her outside.
“I’ll just wait for you in the room,” Xyla said and stopped walking.
“Aren’t you afraid of the dark?” Stanley asked.
“I’m fine,” she said.
Before Xyla could finish her sentence, Stanley had dragged her out of the room decisively. Helplessly,
Xyla followed him outside. She tried to push his hand away but failed. In the end, she could only allow
him to drag her along.
Stanley led Xyla all the way to the electrical junction box in the living room downstairs. He then
carefully examined it.
