Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 39

Emma squinted her eyes, lifting her hand to hook his chin. “Making me jealous is your fault.”

Liam grasped her fingers, leading her hand. “It’s my bad. I promise I won’t make you jealous again.”

“Hmph, that’s…” Before Emma could finish her words, Liam kissed her lips. With one hand holding the finger she had just hooked his chin, and the other supporting the sensitive back of her neck from behind, he made her feel a faint warmth on fer neck skin.

Emma’s mind went blank for a moment. Looking at Liam’s handsome face close at hand, she could even see his thick eyelashes trembling slightly, her heartbeat accelerating.

After a short, tantalizing kiss, Liam moved his lips away from hers. “Kiss away your jealousy. Are you still upset?”

‘I can’t believe I’ve gotten used to his sudden intimacy, I really can’t get angry with him.” Emma puffed out her cheeks. “What do you think?”

Recent events had left Emma feeling physically and mentally exhausted. She lay in the bathtub, resting with her eyes closed. The steamy atmosphere in the room made her feel a bit light–headed, and she fell asleep without realizing it.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Even when the knocking on the door started, Emma didn’t respond. Liam frowned and opened the bathroom door directly.

The warm steam hit him in the face, but the scene inside the bathroom made his blood surge rapidly. There was Emma, lying naked in the luxurious white bathtub, her skin so smooth and seemed flawless, her black hair curled up high, revealing her slender neck with its delicate

curve.

Liam suppressed the desire in his heart and carried her out of the bathtub, wrapping her in a towel. She had actually fallen asleep in the bath.

If he hadn’t come in to check, there could have been a risk of suffocation.

That night, Emma had a dream. In her dream, she felt like a soft feather was brushing against her body, tickling her and making her shiver uncontrollably. She tried to stop the feather, but it was incredibly agile and couldn’t be grabbed no matter how hard she tried. It tantalized her more and more fiercely.

She struggled, opening her eyes in the dream, only to find the feather had turned into Liam.

He kissed her hair, caressing and guiding her, from her eyes to her cheeks, to her neck, moving further down….

In the dream, Liam’s legs were healed, and they enjoyed and felt each other’s bodies…
