Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 939 Together

Colton didn't care at all despite Nicole's cutthroat words. He was practically stuck to her when he drawled, "I asked the front desk when I came up earlier. They said there are no extra rooms available."

Obviously, Nicole didn't believe him. This wasn't some famous tourist spot and the location wasn't the best. There were still a whole lot of rooms that were empty when she and Zachary came.

It couldn't have gotten a full house in the middle of the night.

She pursed her lips as she muttered, "Sleep on the streets, then."

Colton suddenly hugged her and pitifully whined, "I didn't sleep because I was rushing here overnight. I didn't even have something warm to eat… Nicky, what if I tire myself out and suddenly die?"

She reached out and pushed at the man pinning her down, but he was hugging her so tightly he didn't budge at all.

Her expression turned to one of resignation as she stated, "President Gardner, it would be better if we remain only as friends."

"Friends who sleep together?" His warm breath thick with desire washed over the shell of her ear.

Oh, shameless pig! she fumed internally. Out loud, she yelled, "You'd better get out of my face!"

Colton didn't mind at all and he only continued to utter lazily, "I don't mind being friends. But your friend is exhausted now. I'm going to sleep."

As soon as he said that, he didn't bother taking off his suit before he crashed into her bed with her still in his arms. He then wiggled under the sheets.

Slightly breathless from his tight hold on her, Nicole reached out to push him away. "Colton Gardner, let go of me!" she hissed through gritted teeth.

"Let's just sleep. Be good, Nicky. Hush. I'm sleepy," Colton muttered with his eyes closed.

What followed right after he said those words were steady breaths.

Colton had turned off the lights in the room when he dragged Nicole along to the bed, which was why the room was pitch black now.

With her eyes wide open, she could vaguely see the outline of his face in the dark.

As they breathed, they could smell each other's scent from the proximity they were in.

Nicole's head was a mess when she lay in Colton's arms.

She couldn't help but think of how he rushed over right after he found out that she had gone abroad with Zachary.

In fact, she thought that Colton's possessiveness over her had gotten to an unhealthy level.

Her gaze continued to become more conflicted when she looked at him in the dark.

She thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep. Unexpectedly, she fell into a deep sleep at some point.

Another knock sounded on the door when Nicole was out cold. Squinting, she was about to get out of bed when she heard a low, husky voice beside her. "Rest. I'll get the door."
