Her Precious Baby

In the darkness of the night, the sensuous atmosphere made it hard for them to breathe.

“If you still don’t understand, I don’t mind explaining it to you with actions.”

As Evander’s deep voice echoed in her ear, he ran the tip of his finger across her lip.

The suggestive gesture seemed to have drawn Angeline’s soul out of her body, and she plummeted into a daze.

“Mr. Golding, don’t you think you’re being too flirty with me?”

“You were more flirty when you held my hand and refused to let me leave.”

When Evander’s magnetic voice reverberated in her ear, Angeline swallowed the words that were about to roll off her tongue.

“Mmm…”

The next second, his kiss fell upon her without warning. As her ears felt a tingling sensation when bathed by his breath, his kisses traveled from her forehead down to her neck.

Inside the quiet room, a faint click of a button being opened could be heard. With the top of her shirt undone, her porcelain-white collarbone was revealed.

Jolted back to her senses by the stinging chill, Angeline gasped as she frantically pushed him away.

“Mr. Golding, please mind yourself! I have no intention of being a home-wrecking mistress!” she exclaimed in bashful anger.

With her hand clasping her shirt tightly, she attempted to jump off the bed.

Evander was nonplussed when he heard that. Instead of being angered by her impudence, amusement and elation were what he felt.

Now I know what’s bothering her. The moment she responded to me, did I detect a hint of her interest in me?

With that thought in mind, Evander grabbed Angeline’s wrist to stop her from getting off.

“You’re not feeling well, so don’t move around. I’ll leave.”
