Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 135

Artemis touched his nose before gesturing toward Bailey's collarbone by tilting his jaw. He could not have been more obvious than if he had spoken.

Don't believe me? Check for yourself!

Bailey instinctively looked down at her chest. Thanks to the wide neckline, she saw red marks dappling across her porcelain skin. At the sight, she almost fainted again from anger.

This shameless jerk! I can't believe he took advantage of me while I was unconscious!

“You call yourself a man, Artemis? How can you do something so abhorrent?”

Artemis inched closer toward Bailey, eventually backing her against the bedhead. He then reached out and held her jaw. Arching a brow, he taunted, “You're allergic to animal fur, so you developed a rash all over your neckline. I helped you to apply some topical cream and soothe the itchiness. You may have been unconscious, but I'm sure you enjoyed the soothing cream all the same. I'm starting to think you're misunderstanding the situation, Ms. Jefferson.”

Furious, Bailey raised her hand to slap the smug smile off his face.

Striking others had always been one of Bailey's strong suits, yet her talents seemed utterly useless against Artemis, as he easily gripped her elbow before her hand even touched his face.

In the blink of an eye, he had gained the upper hand and pinned her against the bed with his dead weight.

Bailey glared at him through narrowed eyes and scoffed. “Your taste in women surprises me, Mr. Luther. I always assumed successful men like you loved to play around. If you wanted to have a mistress, why not go for an innocent college girl? I'm sure a woman who has given birth like me will hardly satisfy you, Mr. Luther.”

Now it was Artemis' turn to narrow his eyes. Displeasure flitted through his gaze.

This woman is a freaking porcupine. She pricks and stabs her way through life so that others will despise her. Does she truly care so little about her reputation?

Running a slender finger over her exquisite face, he sighed lightly. “Why must you degrade yourself so? You should know you're one of the most admirable people to walk the face of this earth. If a man fell in love with you, he would surely worship you like a queen.”

To her dismay, Bailey felt her heartbeat quickening. An inexplicable emotion blossomed in her heart, and it threw her off-kilter.

No man had ever made her heart race over the years. Yes, the attraction was there, but she never felt jittery, not even in Edmund's presence.

She was horrified to realize she could develop feelings for the sly fox before her.
