Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Three Things a Qualified Husband Must Do

He held me tight, his chin rubbing against my hair, and his hand sneaking into my pajamas like he owned the place.

When he cupped my breast, I shivered, and all my tough-girl act crumbled.

"Why you shaking? You cold?" he asked, all smug, his lips right by my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

"In this weather? If I ain't cold, what else would I be?" I snapped back.

Ethan chuckled, straightened my shoulders, propped his head up with one hand, and gave me that deep, amused look of his.

"Babe, if you're cold, that's on me."

Before I could even roll my eyes, he kept going.

"As a top-notch husband, there are three things I gotta do right now."

"What three things?" I asked, curious despite myself.

Ethan's hand wandered over my body, a wicked grin on his face.

"First, I gotta warm you up with my body. Second, I gotta warm your heart with sweet talk. And last, we gotta do some exercise to get you feeling warm and fuzzy inside and out."

He was just looking for an excuse to be a rogue, but he made it sound like some noble mission. Classic Ethan!

"I'm not cold anymore."

I tried to move away, but he grabbed my waist and flipped me over, pinning me beneath him.

"Exercise ain't just for when you're cold. Gotta stay fit, you know?"

I was both laughing and annoyed.

When his tongue slipped in, I tasted a hint of booze.

"You've been drinking?" I pushed him away.

I'd been keeping an eye on him all evening, and he couldn't have had a drink unless he snuck one while I was in the restroom.

He leaned in to kiss me again, but I pressed my hands against his chest, staring him down.

He smiled, a bit sheepish. "Just a little. My buddy got engaged, and it would've been rude not to drink at all."

"What's rude about it? Oliver knows your situation. Don't blame others for your choices," I said, irritated.

His fingers gently stroked my cheek, his gaze softening, and his Adam's apple bobbed a few times. In a low, sexy voice, he said, "Babe, when you care about me, it feels so warm. Being cared for feels really good." My heart ached, like a knife had gone through it.

I said, "I care about you, but I can't watch you 24/7. Your body's yours, so you gotta take care of it. Replacing parts is tough, expensive, and they're often out of stock. Sometimes, even money can't help."

He laughed at my words, the warm bedside lamp casting a deep, charming light over him as he leaned in suggestively.

"My parts are fine, performing well, and always ready for inspection."

He always had a knack for steering the convo towards sex. Gotta give him props for that!
