After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 129

"I wasn't teasing you," she said, struggling to find her voice. "I was worried you'd catch a cold. You're not in the best health."

"Like you said," he chuckled softly, sounding nothing like his usual cool and indifferent self, "Very uncomfortable, didn't you feel it?"

Katniss felt like her hands weren't her own anymore.

Unable to find the right words, Katniss squeezed her eyes shut and stammered, "I told you, I'll leave now. You can go back to your business."

Maximilian kissed her ear and said hoarsely, "Too late, who told you to show up?"

So this was her fault now?

She was just concerned about her patient's health as a doctor, so she couldn't help but come to check on him!

Who knew he would be masturbating in the bathroom.

Katniss felt a bit wronged. She struggled to pull her hand back, but her efforts only made her face redder.

Katniss shamefully tilted her head up, her eyes wet, looking at him with a mix of grievance and embarrassment.

Maximilian slightly propped himself up, pressing Katniss against the wall. Her petite and slender figure was enveloped by his body, only the dark shadows in some places revealing their outlines, perfect for flirting.

Under the dim light, he seemed to smile, then turned off the light.

The bathroom went dark instantly, with only a faint light coming through the glass door from the bedroom.

"Is this better?"

Maximilian's voice was low, with a hint of coaxing.

Katniss couldn't stand that kind of voice, it softened her heart as soon as she heard it.

Katniss bit her lip. Her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't decide whether to agree or disagree.

She had no idea how things had developed to this point.

In his arms, Katniss almost curled up, feeling Maximilian's body tense to the extreme.
