My Heart only Beats for You

She gulped and said, "Bring me your magazine."

Matthew did not ask further but passed the magazine directly to Selina.

Selina placed the magazine between them and said, "This is a barrier. Neither of us can cross it."

She thought that Matthew would agree in his usual mild manner, but she did not expect him to mutter, "Selina, you need a barrier when sleeping with your husband?"

His tone was less gentle than usual, rather, a little oppressive.

Selina knew that when Matthew spoke in such a tone, he was not messing around.

She could only laugh and said, "Well, duh. I wouldn't be able to accommodate your desires at this point in time, remember? I had no choice but to come up with such an idea in order to keep your libido in check. Wouldn't this be more for your sake than mine? After all, you're the one who would be suffering the most if we didn't do this."

After that, Selina blinked innocently at Matthew. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In order to avoid being touched by this man, Selina really had to resort to such actions.

Looking at Selina's eyes which were akin to a fawn's, Matthew heart was instantly filled with helplessness.

Seriously, there was nothing he could do about with Selina.

"Alright." Matthew murmured, but added, "We'll go with it since your health is not at its best, but once you're healthy again, there won't be anything like this."

Selina nodded her head simply.

That night, Selina didn't sleep well.

It was the first time in her life she would be sharing the same bed with a man, albeit having a book in between.

She could clearly feel his pheromones and hear the sound of his breathing.

With only a little stretch of her hand, she would be touching Matthew's body.

Moreover, she still had this fear, the fear that despite Matthew's promise to her, he could still be driven by his lust to do something to her.

Such an uneasy night was finally over.

Selina had no sleep at all throughout.
