Chapter 26:

? ? ? ? ?

Raegan had just slipped one foot into the shoe, while the other was still dangling in the air.

Hearing this, he hurriedly sat back down on the bed and smiled awkwardly.

"I haven't left this room."

Mitchel raised his eyebrows and called out to her, “Raegan?”

His voice was unusually soft.

This scared Raegan even more. She knew it was only a matter of seconds before her dangerous self would leap from that soft cover.

She stared at him as she said a silent prayer.

Suddenly, he smiled in satisfaction.

“Am I really that bad?”

They had been married for two years, but she had recently seemed eager to divorce him.

His interest in knowing why only lasted a second. He leaned down abruptly and took her into his arms.

Mitchel raised her hand and made his fingers trace her jaw.

Even now, he still felt slight pain from the bite mark she had left on him. He whispered, “What a little lioness you are!

The silence of the dark night enhanced his voice, which sounded magnetic and sexy.

Mitchel leaned closer to her, nibbled her earlobe, and said hoarsely, "If people laugh at me for this tomorrow, I'll teach you a lesson."

Raegan's heart skipped a beat. That long-lost intimacy worried her. She tried to push him away, but he was hard as a rock.

The man next to him said in a deep voice: “Don't move. Go to sleep.

Raegan wasn't sure if she was imagining it, but she heard a hint of fatigue and complaint in his voice.

Mitchel held her gently by the waist. The heat of that contact spread throughout her body, making her shiver.

Raegan's heart thundered in her ears. Fearing that he would notice her bewilderment, she did her best to remain calm.

But it was too late. Lying behind her, Mitchel pinched her soft cheek and said hesitantly, “Why are you so nervous? I already told you, I'm not going to fuck you tonight.

Raegan was speechless. Did he have to be so vulgarly direct?

His embrace wasn't too tight, but she could still feel the heat of his body and also his breath.

It was warm and comfortable.

Raegan was especially intolerant of the cold. Last winter, he spent most of his time in Mitchel's arms.

Now that it was fall, she was starting to worry about how she would survive the winter without him.

Perhaps fatigue overwhelmed her and she fell into a deep sleep within minutes.

She was lying on her side, her hair disheveled, revealing her delicate and seductive earlobes. She looked so attractive while she was sleeping.

As Mitchel looked at her, a lump formed in his throat. I wanted to kiss every inch of her body, starting with her earlobe.

It occurred to him that he still wanted her. In fact, his desire was stronger now.

This woman was like a drug. He had become addicted to her.

He hurried back home in the rain because he was worried that she would be scared alone on such a rainy day.

Mitchel had never thought he would act so irrationally for a woman, especially one who dared to bite him.

His eyes sank as his desire slowly dissipated.

Warm sunlight peeked through the curtains and fell into the room the next morning.

Raegan woke up naturally. Yawning, he lazily stretched out his hands. Suddenly, his elbow touched a warm chest.

He was startled.

His mind went blank for a moment. He lowered his head, only to find that his legs were intertwined with a strange long leg.

She wanted to jump out of bed, but a strong hand around her waist held her back.

The body behind his was so warm.

Raegan stiffened. It took him a few seconds to realize that he was not in his apartment, but at Mitchel's house, so it was normal that he shared a bed with her.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well? Mitchel's voice sounded hoarse, indicating that he too had just woken up.

“Yeah, it was good…” Raegan replied.

Mitchel buried his face in her neck and said quietly, "But I can't say the same."

Raegan moved to keep her distance from him, but he pulled her closer.

"Don't move."

Raegan's body trembled. She pouted like a child about to cry.

Now he could feel the change in his body.

Frightened, she stiffened like a statue.

Raegan closed her eyes and waited with her heart in her mouth. But he didn't move.

When she felt his fingertips drawing circles on her arm, she trembled and asked in a trembling voice, “Are you… are you done?”

"What do you think?" Mitchel rested his head on his arm and stared at her.

"It may be over." Raegan wasn't in the right state of mind to think about it. It had been a long time since they had been so intimate, so he was embarrassed to think about something like that.

“Raegan.” Mitchel tucked a strand of her long hair behind her ear. Then he played with her earlobe and said in a magnetic voice, "Since when have I been a one-minute man?"

Raegan's face turned red, as did her ears.

Mitchel lowered his eyes to appreciate Raegan's earlobe between his fingers. His thin lips curved slightly and he said slowly: “Well?

Do you want to test me?

Raegan was speechless.

Why was he so vulgar all of a sudden?

Unable to take it anymore, he cringed as he cautiously said, “I need to go to the bathroom.”

This time, Mitchel didn't hold her back. He just loosened his grip and she ran straight to the bathroom.

Raegan sat on the toilet doing nothing for a long moment. When he finally came out, the bed was empty.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe Mitchel went to another room to shower, since she locked herself in this bathroom.

It was almost eight. Mitchel must have been about to go to work.

Raegan called for the maid, hoping she could come help her with the bath.

The maid answered from downstairs and said she would be with her soon.

Although Raegan didn't want to bother, she had no choice, given her injuries. She filled the bathtub with water, took off her nightgown, and soaked.

Shortly after, the bathroom door was pushed open.

One of Raegan's hands was hanging out of the tub. A towel was wrapped around it to prevent water from splashing on the bandage.

Without turning his head, he said in a low voice, “I'm almost finished bathing.

Could you help me dry my body?

He waited for a response. And when he got none, he looked up at the reflective glass. She almost jumped out of the bathtub when she saw the reflection of a tall man, standing with his arms crossed as he gaped at her.

"You... How could you...?" Raegan's face flushed red as she tried to cover herself, but she couldn't reach the towels anymore.

With a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth, Mitchel raised his eyebrows and said, "He went out to do the shopping." "She asked me to replace her."

"Out!" Raegan was furious.

“Are you sure about that?” Mitchel remained at the door, acting like a gentleman.

The maid was going to take a while to return. Raegan couldn't stay in the tub until then or she would risk catching a cold.

If that happened, his wounds would worsen and he might need injections. She couldn't take medication recklessly because of her pregnancy.

Raegan had no choice but to bite her bottom lip and say, “Close your eyes, okay?”

Mitchel entered, elegant and composed.

He chuckled.

«Why so shy? I've seen your body everywhere.

“For once, can you stop being so shameless?” Raegan replied, giving him a dirty look.

She couldn't understand it. Yesterday I was so angry with her, but today, I was like a completely different person.

He had been flirting with her since they woke up.

Raegan's seductive body under the bubbles entered Mitchel's view.

Mitchel's deep eyes looked down from above, as if he were appreciating some work of art.

Raegan was anxious and her face blushed even more.

"You... Close your eyes."

"Okay, Your Majesty." With a teasing smile on his handsome face, Mitchel reached down and lifted her out of the water. As he helped her stay still, she slipped and then fell into his arms.

His clothes, which he had just changed, became wet instantly.

Raegan felt a little embarrassed. Mitchel wrapped a bath towel around her and whispered, "You have to make it up to me later."

Raegan didn't understand what he meant. Stunned, she asked innocently, “Compensate you? As?"

Before she could blink, Mitchel led her to the sink.

Her eyes flew open as he kissed her.

«Mim…

He swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. And then she heard him murmur against her lips, "This is how."
