Chapter 26
Addictive Woman Raegan had just put one foot into the slipper, while the other one was still dangling in the air.
Hearing this, she hurriedly sat back on the bed and smiled awkwardly.
"I didn't walk out of this room.” Mitchel raised his eyebrows and called her, "Raegan?" His voice was unusually gentle.
This scared Raegan even more.
She Knew that it was only a matter of seconds before his dangerous self jumped out of that gentle cover.
She stared at him while saying a silent prayer.
Suddenly, he smirked.
"Am I really that bad?” They had been married for two years, but she seemed eager to divorce him recently.
His interest in knowing why only lasted for a second.
He abruptly leaned over and pulled her into his arms.
Mitchel then lifted her hand and made her fingers trace his jaw.
Even now, he still felt a slight pain from the bite mark she left on him.
He whispered, "What a little lioness you are!’ The silence of the dark night magnified his voice, which sounded magnetic and sexy.
Mitchel leaned in closer to her, nibbled on her earlobe, and said in a hoarse voice, "If people laugh at me because of this tomorrow, I'll teach you a lesson." Raegan's heart skipped a beat.
This long-lost intimacy made her feel uneasy.
She tried to push him away, but he was as hard as a rock.
The man next to her said in a deep voice, "Don't move.
Just go to sleep.” Raegan wasn't sure if she was imagining things, but from his voice, she sensed a hint of fatigue and grievance.
Mitchel gently held her waist.
The warmth of this touch spread to her whole body, causing her to tremble. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Raegan's heart thudded in her ears.
Fearing that he would notice her discomfiture, she tried her best to remain calm.
But it was too late.
Lying behind her, Mitchel pinched her soft cheek and said crossly, "Why are you so nervous? I already told you I won't fuck you tonight.” Raegan was speechless.
Did he have to be so vulgarly straightforward? His embrace was not too tight, but she could still feel the warmth from his body and also his breath.
It was warm and comfortable.
Raegan particularly had a low tolerance to the cold.
In the past winter, she spent most of her time in Mitchel’s arms.
Now that it was autumn, she was beginning to worry about how she would survive the coming winter without him.
Perhaps fatigue overwhelmed her and she fell into deep sleep within minutes.
She lay on her side, with her hair scattered, revealing her delicate and alluring earlobes.
She looked so attractive in her sleep.
As Mitchel stared at her, his throat tightened.
He wanted to kiss every inch of her body, starting from 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 became addicted to her! He hastily rushed back home in the rain Just because he was worried she would be scared alone on such a rainy day.
Mitchel had never thought he would act so irrationally because of a woman, most especially the one who dared to bite him.
His eyes deepened as his desire gradually dissipated.
The warm sunlight peeped through the curtains and fell into the room the next morning.
Raegan woke up natural.
Yawning, she lazily stretched her hands.
Her elbow suddenly touched a warm chest.
She was startled.
Her mind went blank for a moment.
She lowered her head, only to find that her legs entwined 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 hers was so warm.
Raegan stiffened.
It took her a few seconds to realize she wasn't at her apartment but in Mitchel's house, so it was normal that he shared a bed with her.
"Morning.
Did you sleep well?” Mitchel's voice came out husky, indicating he had just woken up too.
"Yeah, it was okay..." Raegan replied.
Mitchel buried his face in her neck and said in a low voice, "But I can’t say the same.” Raegan shifted to keep a distance from him, but he pulled her closer.
"Don't move.” Raegan's body trembled.
She pouted like a child who was about to burst into tears.
She could feel the change of his body now.
Afraid, she stiffened like a statue.
Raegan shut 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 shaky voice, "Are...
Are you done?" “What do you think?” Mitchel propped up his head with one arm and stared at her intently.
"Maybe it's over.” Raegan wasn't in the right state of mind to think about it.
They hadn't been this intimate for long, so it was embarrassing to think of such a thing.
"Raegan.” Mitchel tucked strands of her long hair behind her ear, He then fiddled with her earlobe and said in a magnetic voice, "Since when did I become a one-minute man?” Raegan's face turned red, and so did her ears.
Mitchel lowered his eyes to appreciate Raegan's earlobe between his fingers.
His thin lips curved up slightly, and he said slowly, "Well? Wanna test me?” Raegan was speechless.
Why was he so vulgar suddenly? Unable to take it anymore, she shrank while saying cautiously, "I need to use the bathroom.” This time, Mitchel didn't hold her back.
He just loosened his grip, and she ran straight into the bathroom.
Raegan sat on the toilet bowl idly for a long time.
When she finally walked out, the bed was empty.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps Mitchel went to another room to take a shower since she locked herself in this bathroom.
It was almost eight o'clock now.
Mitchel must be getting ready to go to work soon.
Raegan called out to the maid, hoping she could come to help her with a bath.
The maid answered from downstairs and said she would be with her shortly.
Although Raegan didn’t want to be a bother, she had no choice now, given her injuries.
She filled up the tub with water, took off her nightdress, and went in for a soak.
Shortly after, the bathroom door was pushed open.
One of Raegan's hands was dangling outside the bathtub now.
There was a towel wrapped around it to prevent water from splashing on the bandage.
Without turning her head, she said softly, "I'm almost done bathing.
Could you please help me dry off my body?" She waited for a response.
And when she got none, she looked up in the reflective glass.
She almost Jumped out of the tub when she saw the reflection of a tall man, standing with his arms folded while gawking at her.
"You...
How could you...” Raegan's face flushed as she tried to cover up, but she couldn't reach the towels now.
With a smirk at the corners of his lips, Mitchel raised his brows and said, "She went out to get some groceries.
She asked me to stand in for her." "Get out!” Raegan was furious.
"You sure about that?" Mitchel remained at the doorway, acting like a gentleman.
It was going to take a while before the maid came back.
Raegan couldn't stay in the bathtub until then or she would risk catching a cold.
If that happened, her wounds would worsen and she might need to take injections.
She couldn't take medicines recklessly due to her pregnancy.
Raegan had no choice but to bite her lower lip and say, "Close your eyes, okay?" Mitchel walked in, looking elegant and composed.
He chuckled.
"Why so shy? I have seen everywhere of your body." "For once, can you stop being so shameless?” Raegan retorted, giving him the stink eye.
She couldn't understand him.
He was so mad at her yesterday, but today, he was like an entirely different person.
He had been flirting with her since they woke up.
Raegan's alluring body under the bubbles came into Mitchel's view.
Mitchel's deep eyes observed from above, like he was appreciating some work of art.
Raegan was anxious and her face flushed even more.
"You...
Close your eyes." "Okay, Your Majesty." With a mocking smile on his handsome face, Mitchel bent over and picked her up from the water.
As he helped her stand still, she slipped and then fell into his arms.
His clothes that he had just changed instantly got all wet.
Raegan felt a little embarrassed.
Mitchel wrapped her up with a bath towel and whispered, "You have to compensate me later.” Raegan didn't understand what he meant.
In a daze, she asked innocently, "Compensate you? How?" Before she could blink, Mitchel carried her to the washstand.
Her eyes widened in shock as he captured her lips.
"Mm..." He swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue.
And then, she heard him murmur against her lips, "This is how."
