Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 156

Colin seemed ecstatic, practically tumbling me onto the bed with a gleeful force. If he had a tail. it would have been wagging furiously.

“Phoebe. I’m burning up,” Colin said, hugging me and wriggling around on the bed like a puppy.

I tried my best to contain my anger. It wasn’t a fever he had; he was…

“I warn you to sleep now, Caleb,” I could clearly read his intentions. His face was almost yelling his desire. Could he be any more shameless?

“Phoebe, seriously, I’m on fire. Touch me, you’ll feel it.” He always spoke with such a deadpan expression, the kind of words that made you want to crawl into a hole.

I thought he meant for me to feel his forehead. But as he held me from behind, I felt like my hand had touched something it shouldn’t have.

“Caleb, I’m warning you…” I almost spat the words through clenched teeth.

He buried his head in my shoulder. This time he was looking so docile, just holding me.

I couldn’t take it anymore, so I turned around and slapped him.

The sound was so crisp in the silence.
