Chapter 55: Chapter 55
[Song Recommendation: Amaria BB - Slow Motion.]
Madeline fiddled with her fingers nervously. She waited for Zane to show some reaction because all he did was marvel at her like she was a Greek statue.
Zane clicked his tongue in awe, "You look far more innocent than I thought. You don’t look like Madeline Rose on TV at all."
"Well, it’s a character I am playing to earn money," Madeline said. "That character is not me and will never be me."
"So all the boyfriends you mentioned on TV are also lies?"
"Yes..." Madeline nodded weakly. She felt very exposed right now, and it was very uncomfortable.
Surprisingly, Zane was far more blunt than Lance regarding his questions. She had a guess that Lance must’ve known about her true self without her confirming everything. After all, he did a bit of investigation about her.
But he kept it hidden rather than confronting Madeline about it, while Zane simply asked her point blank.
"W—Well, the only man I’ve been with... except for my boyfriend, was Jonathan Hale, the man who ruined my career," Madeline said.
"I see." Zane nodded. He was ready to accept Madeline, whether she had a history of many men in the past, but her confession only made it ten times better.
’So my only competition is that useless rich boyfriend she has, huh? Should be an easy fight,’ Zane thought.
Zane got up from the sofa and said, "Go and change into your bathrobe and swimwear in the wardrobe. I will prepare the jacuzzi. I’ll make sure the bubble is thick enough for both of us."
Zane went to the jacuzzi and tinkered with the buttons, while Madeline grabbed the bathrobe and bikini from the wardrobe and dashed back to the bathroom.
She took off her summer dress first and then wore the swimwear.
She gulped when she saw herself in the mirror.
"This looks more like lingerie than a bikini..." Madeline muttered. It barely covered her nipples, and also barely covered her private areas.
The only saving grace was the bathrobe, which was a bit too loose for her, so she could use it to cover everything, at least until half of her thighs.
Madeline left the bathroom and saw Zane sitting inside the jacuzzi. He looked sexy and masculine. If this wasn’t their date night, she would’ve thought that Zane was shooting for a cologne or perfume ad right now.
The jacuzzi already had the bubbles frothing on top, so Madeline couldn’t see what was under the water.
Zane turned his head at Madeline and saw her wearing a bathrobe. It was somehow a lot sexier than her wearing a bikini. The blush on her cheeks only made her ten times hotter.
Zane thanked himself because he made sure the bubble would froth on the water’s surface, or else Madeline would see that he got an instant erection down there.
"Come in, Maddy. The water is at the perfect temperature."
Madeline nodded. She walked to the jacuzzi. She was about to take off her bathrobe, but Zane’s hungry eyes made her uncomfortable. So she told her, "Close your eyes, Zane."
"Huh? Why should I? I’m here to watch."
"C—Close your eyes, or I’m not going to join you in this jacuzzi."
"Alright, alright," Zane said, closing his eyes, but he peeked just enough to see how Madeline took off her bathrobe, showing her slender hips and curvy waist.
She was naturally beautiful, and her skin was like a pearl on a cold night, and she bashfully covered her privates.
’These bubbles are my lifesaver,’ Zane thought. ’It’d be so embarrassing if she saw my rock-hard boner right now.’
She carefully dipped into the jacuzzi, and after making sure that she dipped herself until her neck level, she finally told Zane, "You can open your eyes now."
Zane acted as if he hadn’t peeked the whole time. He chuckled at Madeline, who was submerged from the neck down.
"Are you that scared of me?" Zane asked. "Don’t worry, I’m a patient man, unlike your boyfriend."
Madeline imagined the man in front of her was Lance, and she got even more bashful.
She didn’t know about Lance that much, but if her gut feeling was right, Lance would’ve pounced at her by now, probably feeling her from under the water, and taken off everything in a matter of seconds.
Lance would probably do everything he wanted, and funnily enough, Madeline had zero intention of resisting if it was Lance who sat in the jacuzzi with her right now.
’Maybe I would struggle a little if he did it with me. But for how long? Will I be able to reject him?’ Madeline wondered.
She felt like a teenage girl in love with a man she barely knew. It was ridiculous, but the more she thought about Lance, the shyer she got.
Madeline submerged her body even lower until her lips were covered with the bubble, and Zane laughed at how cute Madeline was.
"You know your action only makes me want you more, right?"
"I have a boyfriend."
"You said that three times already, but I don’t really care," Zane said. "You’re dating, not married. I still have a chance."
"You have too much to lose, Zane. Don’t risk it." Madeline tried to turn him down, but that only made Zane even more ambitious.
"You said in the interview once that you have an A-list actor as a boyfriend. That’s also a lie, right?"
"Yeah..." Madeline had nothing else to hide at this point. As long as Zane would work with her during the reality show, then she didn’t mind telling him the truth. "I mean, I’m doing everything I can to get headlines. The only money I can get is through interviews."
"Interesting," Zane said. He leaned towards Madeline, and the latter quickly retreated, not wanting to have any physical contact with Zane while they were almost naked in the jacuzzi.
"Then how about I become your boyfriend instead?" Zane suggested. "Break up with your boyfriend, and I will go public with you."
