Chapter 414 Not Love, Just Desire

Mitchel didn't give Raegan the chance to take a shower alone. With a tender touch, he caressed her nose and rasped, "Alright."

Then, he swept her off her feet and went to the bathroom.

"Ah!" Raegan protested, "Put me down."

There they were, both without clothes, and Raegan felt awkward about where to place her hands.

"Let me assist you." Mitchel set Raegan on a towel-draped countertop, hurriedly filled the tub with water, and then eased her into it.

It dawned on Raegan that she'd fallen for Mitchel's feigned frailty. He didn't seem the slightest bit frail. Particularly in intimate moments, his stamina was astounding!

Raegan lay in the bath, observing Mitchel move around. She decided to shut her eyes. Out of sight, out of mind, she thought.

After a bath, Mitchel brought Raegan back to a bed with freshly changed sheets. The crisp, soft linens were a pleasant touch as she settled down.

Mitchel suggested kindly, "You can rest. I'll go take a shower. He never left his clothes overnight. Last night, he brought fresh ones along.

The sound of running water filled the bathroom, and Raegan felt a headache brewing. Mitchel must have misunderstood!

He thought she had welcomed him into her life.

When Mitchel emerged from the bathroom, dressed, Raegan was poised and ready to clarify. "Mitchel, I need to be clear."

Mitchel saw Raegan's unfriendly face and felt something bad was about to happen to spoil his mood. He looked down. "What is it?"

"That doesn't mean anything. We're adults. Please don't get the wrong idea."

Mitchel looked up, his eyes brimming with sadness. "Wrong idea?"
