Forbidden Passion

Chapter 862 A Long Night

The kiss left both of them breathless. Phoebe glanced down and her cheeks instantly turned red. She quickly turned her head away.

She could hear Theodore's suppressed panting in her ear, and it gave her goosebumps all over. Awkwardly, she said, "How about you take a shower?"

Theodore stared at her for a while, rubbed his face, and complained softly, "You really are a heartless woman."

But he didn't go to the bathroom. Instead, he collapsed on the bed, his hand resting on his forehead, trying to calm his restless body.

Phoebe glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, seeing how uncomfortable he was. She wasn't exactly a person with no desires. Being kissed and held by him, she couldn't say she had no reaction at all.

She just felt that they shouldn't be moving so fast.

"I-I'll go to the bathroom." Phoebe, afraid she might soften, quickly got up and walked to the bathroom.

Behind her, Theodore's hoarse, low voice came, "What, are you going to take care of it yourself?"

Phoebe understood what he meant, and her whole face turned red. She glared at him and quickly walked into the bathroom.

Theodore must have been really uncomfortable, tossing and turning all night. When Phoebe came back from the bathroom, she lay down next to the kids and fell asleep quickly.

He endured alone until the middle of the night, looking at the peacefully sleeping Phoebe, wishing he could kick her out of bed. He held back and finally wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace.

The next day, Phoebe woke up nearly suffocating.

She had dreamed she was buried under a pile of heavy blankets, unable to move, unable to move. When she opened her eyes, she found herself entangled with Theodore, who was holding her like an octopus.

His arm was draped over her waist, and his long leg was pressing on her knee, no wonder she couldn't move even in her dream.

Theodore nuzzled her hair and, after a moment, when Phoebe was about to push him again, he finally let go of her,
