The Devil's Harem

Chapter - 197

Karen lay in her hospital bed, her mind racing with thoughts and her body aching from the accident she had been in. She couldn't wait to get back on her feet and leave the sterile hospital environment behind. She was bored and restless, longing for some human interaction beyond the nurses who came in and out of her room with their cheerful smiles and professional demeanour.

'Why did he have to leave without a word?' Karen thought about a certain someone, her eyes expecting to see him.

And as if on cue, there was a knock on her door, and in walked Alex, her cure. The tall and handsome man, with a pleasing presence around him.

Karen had her eyes on him from the moment he joined the company. He brought joy to her ever so mundane life. She couldn't help but be drawn to his fresh good looks. His grey eyes looked so lonely, yet so warm, and the subtle smile that always played on his lips.

"Good evening, Karen," Alex said. His tone was deep, velvety, his eyes fixed on her as he entered the room. "How are you feeling today?"

Karen swallowed hard, suddenly aware of her dishevelled appearance in her hospital gown and the fact that she hadn't brushed her hair or put on any makeup in days. She blushed as she looked up at the attractive junior of hers. She was suddenly feeling self-conscious.

"I'm... I'm okay, I guess," Laren stammered, trying to push away the blush that crept up her cheeks. "Just a little sore."

Alex nodded, his eyes scanning her from top to bottom as he approached her bed. There was nothing out of the ordinary, but Karen couldn't help but sense a spark of something more between them, a tension that seemed to crackle in the air whenever he was near.

"Oh, the doctor left it here!" Alex smirked as he grabbed the stethoscope and swirled it in his hands, "Maybe I should take a look, Doctor and Patient. Quite a roleplay," Alex teased Karen as he went and sat beside Karen.

But when he looked at her face, Alex was slightly taken aback. There was a look of expectation on her face.

In front of his eyes, Karen slowly unbuttoned the first two buttons of her robes and stuck her chest out.

Alex was left shocked. Looking at her smooth white skin, Alex gulped and softly whispered, "Allow me." And Alex leaned forward.

Karen's heart rate spiked as he leaned in, his fingers grazing her skin as he placed the stethoscope on her chest, listening intently. She felt a shiver run down her spine at his touch, her body responding to him in a way she hadn't expected.

As Alex continued his examination, Karen found herself captivated by his every move. The way he focused on her, the way his fingers traced her skin with gentle precision, the way his breath brushed against her cheek as he leaned in closer. She couldn't deny the growing attraction she felt towards him, and she found herself yearning for more.

"Everything seems to be healing well," Alex said, straightening up and putting the stethoscope on the table beside Karen's bed, "But you stay at the hospital for a few days more, just to be safe."

Karen nodded, trying to focus on his words, but her mind was swirling with thoughts of him. She couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more between them. Something that has been there for longer than she could remember.

"How's the food here? To your liking? Need something?" Alex asked, his eyes locked on hers.

Karen bit her lip, feeling a surge of boldness, "Actually, there is something," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm so bored in here, and I could really use some company."

Alex's lips quirked up into a suggestive smile, and Karen's heart skipped a beat, "I'm not sure what you mean, boss," he said, his voice dropping to a husky tone.

Karen felt a rush of heat between her legs at the sound of his voice, and she couldn't help but be emboldened by the tension that crackled in the air between them. She sat up in her bed, leaning towards him, her eyes locked on his.

"I told you, just Karen," Karen said in a whisper.

Hearing her, Alex's eyes darkened with a mix of desire and caution as he looked at Karen. He knew it was going to be a mess getting involved with Karen, but he couldn't deny the electric attraction he felt towards her. She was a beautiful woman, vulnerable and in need of companionship, and he found himself drawn to her in a way he couldn't explain.

"I... I shouldn't," Alex tried to push her away lightly, "You have your husband,"

Karen's gaze intensified, and she reached out to lightly touch his hand, sending a jolt of electricity through both of them. "Please, Alex," she whispered.

The intimacy of her words made her shiver. And when Alex looked at her in the eyes, his resolve finally waivered.

"At least now I want to forget that man," Karen said teary-eyed.

And this was the final blow. As Alexe looked into Karen's eyes, he found himself unable to resist her any longer. And he gave in to the pull he felt towards Karen. Even he was also a man with desires, and Karen had always tempted her.

"Alright," he breathed, his voice husky with desire. "I'll stay, but only for a little while."

Karen's face broke into a seductive smile, and she moved closer to him, her scent enveloping him and sending his senses into overdrive. She could feel the tension between them, the palpable electricity that crackled in the air, and she knew she was playing with fire. But she couldn't resist the pull she felt towards the enigmatic doctor who had been taking care of her.

Alex swallowed hard as he sat down on the edge of Karen's bed, acutely aware of how close she was to him, her warm breath caressing his skin. For all the time they were together, he had never seen her so bold.

He couldn't deny that he was attracted to Karen, and the way she looked at him with those pleading eyes made it impossible for him to resist her any longer.

Karen's fingers brushed against his hand, sending a jolt of pleasure through him, and he looked into her eyes, seeing the hunger reflected back at him. Without another word, he leaned in, his lips capturing hers in a searing kiss.

The kiss was explosive, a culmination of the pent-up tension that had been building between them for all this time.

Karen's body responded instantly to Alex's touch, her heart pounding in her chest as their lips moved in perfect sync. She could feel the raw hunger in his kiss, the intensity of his desire for her, and it ignited a fire deep within her.

Alex's hands moved to cup Karen's face, his thumb caressing her cheek as he deepened the kiss, his tongue seeking entrance to her mouth. She eagerly parted her lips, allowing him to explore her, their tongues dancing in a sensual tango.

Karen's body arched towards him, her fingers gripping his shirt tightly as she kissed him back with equal fervour. She could feel the hard planes of his body pressed against hers, and it sent waves of desire coursing through her. Her senses were heightened, every touch, every taste, every sound amplified by the intense attraction she felt for him.

Alex's self-control was slipping, his rational mind giving way to the primal need that surged through him. He knew he was taking a risk, but he couldn't bring himself to pull away from Karen. Her lips were intoxicating, soft and supple against his, and her response to his kiss was making it increasingly difficult for him to resist her.

Karen's hands trailed down his chest, her fingers seeking the warmth of his skin beneath his shirt. She could feel his muscles tense under her touch, and it only fueled her desire for him. Her body was on fire, craving his touch, his taste, his scent.

Slowly, Alex's hand moved to Karen's waist, his fingers brushing against her skin, sending shivers down her spine. He pulled her closer to him, deepening the kiss, his tongue exploring the contours of her mouth with desperate hunger. Her taste was addictive, a heady combination of sweetness and desire that made him crave her even more.

Their bodies pressed against each other, the heat and urgency of their kisses escalating with each passing moment. Karen's breath came in short gasps, her heart pounding wildly as she surrendered to the raw passion that consumed her.

Alex's hand trailed up from Karen's waist to her cheek, his thumb brushing against her lips as he broke the kiss, his chest heaving with desire. He looked into Karen's eyes, seeing the same hunger reflected back at him.

"Karen..." Alex breathed, his voice strained, looking at Karen.

Karen's eyes were clouded with desire, her lips swollen from their heated kisses. She reached out to touch his face, her fingers tracing his jawline. "I know," she whispered, her voice husky with need, "I want you, Alex. I've never felt this way before."
