Trouble in Paradise

Though he was aroused, he also knew how to restrain himself. Nicholas called for a stop again at the

crucial moment

"I can wait for you." Nicholas gently bit my lip to end this intimate moment. "But don't make me wait too long"

His body trembled slightly as he breathed. His breath was heavy with resentment. "You clearly enjoy it too.

In matters of intimacy. I had never held back with Nicholas. From initially trying everything to sleep with him, to later becoming extremely provocative, I was more forward than most women in this aspect.

Or rather, when it came to Nicholas, I did not bother to maintain my dignity. I enjoyed loving a man and possessing all of him too.

But now, it seemed completely reversed. There was disappointment and grievance in his eyes.

He held me in his arms as I hooked my arms around his neck. "Nicholas, you don't have to compromise yourself like this "

Since the day I made a deal with him, I had felt betrayed on a few occasions, regardless of whether we slept together or not.

Nicholas sighed. "Ariana, you never understand me." With that, he got out of bed and left me.

Perhaps it was not that I did not understand. I just could not be bothered to put more thought into him anymore. He had become attentive now, but how long will it last?

My heart trembled slightly. This surely would not last a lifetime. I used to fantasize about it, but now I did. not dare to anymore. It was not realistic either.

As he slowly realized that the feelings I actually brought him were totally different from what he had imagined, he would slowly move on. He would no longer feel that I was irreplaceable.

What I needed to do now was to guard my own heart. I had to be prepared to leave at any time when the day came that he no longer needed me. Perhaps that day would come soon. Who would know?

As I sat on the bed lost in thought, Nicholas came in carrying a tray. "Still not getting up? Try my cooking."

"You cooked?"

He found my surprised expression amusing. He put down the tray and bent to lift me from the bed. I wanted to sit at the table, but he insisted I sit on his lap.

"Tve been thinking, I won't ask the housekeeper to come for now. I'll cook for you when you're here. When you're not, I'll just grab something quick outside."

Nicholas's words nearly made my jaw drop. Usually, Wendy would be in charge of the cooking, and I would help when I had time. When had Nicholas ever cooked? And "just grab something quick"? I wondered what his idea of a quick meal was. "I don't want that!" I even doubted whether his cooking would be edible.

Nicholas frowned, "Why not?"

"I'm used to Wendy's cooking. Yours probably tastes... Before I could

finish, Nicholas picked up the soup bowl. He took a big sip of the pumpkin soup before silencing me with a kiss. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The savory broth slid down my throat. Before I could savor it, his tongue swept away all remaining flavors, leaving only the growing hormones emanating from both of us.

It took me ten minutes to have one taste of the soup. If I had not been dizzy from not being able to breathe, Nicholas would not have let me go.

My lips were burning. But Nicholas was very satisfied with his handiwork. He kissed my lips again and again.

""Was it good?"

I looked up at him, I could only remember tasting a bit of the soup for a moment before he made me swallow it. I could not recall the taste at all. Nicholas smiled and repeated the process with a second sip of soup. "I think you just wanted me to feed you like this."

"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't!"

"I saw you drinking it so happily." Nicholas truly left me speechless. "Was it good?" he asked again. Fearing he might act up again, I hastily nodded.

He reached out to smooth my hair behind my ear while looking at me softly. "My cooking's not bad. I can make different dishes for you for ten days or half a month without repeating. If there really is a

problem, I can also have someone

deliver your favorite foods."

I listened quietly and nodded. "Whatever you want is fine."

"No." Nicholas touched my cheek. "Didn't you always want to spend time with just the two of us before?"
