Chapter 191

Back in their room, Rhett reached out, pulling Kristin into his arms and planting a kiss on her lips. It was a kiss with a bite, a reminder. “From now on, think twice before you do something dangerous, okay? You’ve got a family, kids.”

And a husband.

A sharp pain shot through Kristin’s lip as it split under the pressure, tears welling up in her

eyes.

Turns out, thero’s a world of difference between biting your own lip and having someone olso do it.

“Lesson learned?” Rhett asked.

Red–eyed, Kristin nodded.

“My wound… It hurts,” Rhett said, leaning on Kristin’s shoulder for support.

Kristin, her nerves on edge, suggested, “Take a shower first. I’ll call the resort doctor to take a look.”

Rhett peeled off his shirt, revealing a sculpted back that tapered down to an enviable V–shape–muscular with clothes on, svelte without.

“Check it out for me,” Rhett teased, intentionally flirting.

Remembering how the Lewis brothers had strutted like peacocks in front of Kristin, Rhett felt a twinge of annoyance.

“Looks like it stopped bleeding,” said Kristin, her cheeks aflame and her heart racing.

Rhett raised an eyebrow. “It did?”

She nodded. The wound wasn’t serious–just a graze.

“It hurts,” Rhett said, his acting skills on point, feigning inability to lift his arm.

Worry flashed through Kristin’s eyes. “I… Let me help you in the shower.”

That’s exactly what Rhett had been waiting for. He pulled her into the bathroom and pinned her against the door.

Kristin then realized she had been tricked.

Her ears blazed even redder as she stuttered, “Just a shower, nothing else.”

“Just a shower, I promise,” Rhett said, his lips curving into a smile before he kissed her again.
