The More the Merrier

Chapter 1031

Benjamin and Arissa rode Black Wind across the open meadow, taking in the gorgeous scenery before coming to a halt.

"This is so much better than running on the race tracks!" Arissa exclaimed as she threw her arms wide open to embrace Mother Nature.

The man's eyes darkened as he gazed at the woman's brilliant beauty, feeling waves of desire rush over him.

Arissa did not notice the man's subtle change. While she was still in awe of the sight, Benjamin turned her around and pressed his lips hard against hers.

The man's charming face was so close to Arissa that her eyes widened, and her heart began to race.

He used his tongue to deepen the kiss, skillfully sending rivulets of passion throughout her body. Driven by his lust, he turned her around to intensify the kiss.

Arissa's mind went blank. She regained her senses when she felt the phone vibrate. Seeing that the man seemed oblivious to the incoming call, she nudged him and stuttered, "The p-phone..."

Benjamin furrowed his brows and released Arissa.

She panted heavily, her face flushed bright red.

He took a deep breath and answered the phone after recomposing himself. "Speak!"

Ethen, who was on the other end of the line, could tell that Benjamin was obviously annoyed. Hence, he made a mental note to speak cautiously. "Mr. Graham, are you still planning to attend the event tonight? "What event? Deal with it yourself," replied Benjamin in annoyance, narrowing his eyes.

Ethen reminded, "It's the auction you mentioned previously. You said that you'll bring Mrs. Graham along."

The man frowned when he recalled the event. "Got it," he answered.

Benjamin's face remained sullen after he kept his phone, seemingly displeased that their intimate session was interrupted.

"What happened?" Arissa peered at him and whispered.

I didn't hear what he said clearly, but it seems to have something to do with me.

Ethen was puzzled when Benjamin abruptly terminated the call. He was not certain if his employer's response meant he was going to the auction or not.

Benjamin fixed his gaze on Arissa's flushed cheeks and rosy lips.

Desire filled his eyes when he saw how vulnerable and ravishing she looked. Unable to control his thirst, he cupped the back of her head and kissed her again. The tips of Arissa's ears turned red.

The man's gaze lingered on her pouty lips as he asked, "There's an auction tonight. Would you like to attend?"

Arissa blinked as her throat dried up. "Is it important?" she asked.

"No, it's not important. But if you're interested, I can bring you along," Benjamin replied flatly.

Arissa sighed. "Let's not attend the event if it's not important. Dad is still in the hospital."

The man gazed at her and pinched her nose affectionately. "I brought you out to cheer you up. Why are you worrying again?"

Eyeing him, Arissa smiled and replied, "Isn't it normal to worry?"

It's impossible for me to play to my heart's content when someone in my family is hospitalized.

When Benjamin sprang down the horse without notice, Arissa hurriedly grabbed the saddle to steady herself. "Why didn't you inform me before you got down? I almost fell!" she chastised. The man chuckled and extended a helping hand. "Come on!"

Arissa hugged his neck and let him help her dismount. When both her feet came into contact with the grassy ground, she felt relieved.

Benjamin led the way as he spoke. "The sunset here is awesome. Let's watch it before leaving."

Arissa gazed at the man and asked, "Do you come here often?"

"I'll come here to admire the view when I'm not busy," he responded.

"The view here is breathtaking. The kids will be overjoyed to come here for a picnic!" Arissa clung to his arm and swung it around blissfully, taking in the scenery.

Benjamin chuckled. "This is a ranch. It's not a good place to have a picnic."

"Why is it not a good place? Didn't you book the whole place today? You can do it again for the children!" she challenged.

After pondering for a moment, Benjamin replied, "Sure, if they don't mind the horse manure."

"Horse manure?" Arissa looked down at the grass but everything seemed clean and proper.

"Are you lying to me? I don't see any manure."

The man's eyes sparkled as he teased, "It's under your feet!"

Arissa immediately lowered her head to verify his words.
