“Well…I can.” The moment Nora finished this sentence, she felt the man’s scorching hand pressed on her waist, as if he was about to burn her skin.
Nora’s heartbeat fastened and her mouth was dry. It was fortunate that the room was dark enough so that nobody could see her face, because her face was as hot as a cooked tomato.
“Let’s do something if you can’t fall asleep!” Kingsley lowered his body down and breathed softly in her ear.
His breath lingered around her neck, making Nora’s cheeks boiling hot, but she managed to maintain her composure and said calmly, “I… I am tired and want to sleep.”
The man’s body temperature was so high that the air around Nora seemed to be thinned out, making her out of breath.
The terrible memory suddenly flashed across her mind. She clearly remembered how terrifying Kingsley was on bed. Her body stiffened, and a drop of sweat slipped off her forehead. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes for no reason, “No…don’t !”
It felt like she was forced to do something.
Kingsley’s soaring spirit was repressed by her looking. He let go of Nora’s hands and asked unhappily, “Why are you crying?”
She answered nervously in the darkness, “I’m afraid…”
Kingsley was worried that Anna would be disturbed by her crying. He said impatiently, “Stop pretending to be like a holy virgin, I won’t touch you.”
This woman was really hypocritical.
Nora was still crying. Kingsley frowned and felt annoyed, so he sat up and said to her cruelly, “Stop crying!”
“My… my leg… is numb!” She answered cautiously in a poor tone.
Seeing that she was about to cry again, Kingsley turned on the wall lamp beside the bed, and asked her coldly and impatiently, “Which one?”
“The right one, I can’t move…”
She was so frightened by Kingsley just now that she dared not to move at all. And since Nora was extremely nervous at the time, her right leg cramped.
Kingsley held Nora’s ankle carefully and massaged the muscle on her right leg with the other hand to help relieve the pain and numbness.
He felt that he married a troublesome wife. The only advantage of marrying this woman was probably to make his mother happy. Other than that, she was completely useless, couldn’t even satisfy his physical desire.
Nora was blocking the light with her hand originally. As she put down her hand, she saw the man through her tears: he held his head down, calm and focused; his nose was high, and his chin was elegant and delicate. He was a good-looking man, especially when he concentrated.
Kingsley was half naked, exposing his upper body: broad shoulders, slender and powerful arms, distinct abs, and the mermaid line extended all the way down to his lower body.
The hotness that had faded away rose again on Nora’s face. This time, not only her face, but also the entire body became boiling hot.
Suddenly, Kingsley turned around and asked, “Feeling better?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Nora sat up to stretch her leg, smiling gratefully at the man with tears on her eyes, “Thank you!”
“Now, go to sleep.” Kingsley’s voice was cold, without too much emotion, he turned off the wall lamp. The room was dark again.
The fragrance from the lady next to her lingered around his nose, making him annoyed for unknown reason.
Nora finally fell asleep, and she breathed lightly. But now Kingsley couldn’t fall asleep. His body was on fire, and somewhere of his body was in pain and straightened intensely.
Finally, he got up and went into the bathroom.
He needed to take a cold shower to calm himself down.
