Ella shivered despite the heating.
Rolling up her sleeves, Ella's pale arms were covered with bruises.
Not to mention her body was full of bite marks. Ella gritted her teeth in anger and glared at him fiercely, "You know what did last night!"
Ella snatched her arm from him and dropped her clothes without looking at him.
Samuel suddenly lifted her chin, and their eyes met.
She must be mistaken. She thought she saw something in Samuel's eyes. Was it love?
"It's impossible. Don't flatter yourself." Ella told herself bitterly, bowing her head with a wry smile.
Gently kissing her, he gathered her into his arms and whispered softly in her ears, "I'm so sorry for hurting you." He didn't know what else to say. The only thing he could do now was to apologize sincerely.
Biting her lower lip tightly, Ella sneered, "Why weren't you careful last night? You only care about yourself."
Feeling the palm of his hand on her waist, Ella instinctively stepped back.
Oh, no! She didn't want this at all! He hurt her!
Noticing her subconscious reaction resembling fear, Samuel felt overwhelmed with regret. He berated himself a thousand times in his heart.
Someone knocked on the bedroom door, and Ella hurriedly stepped out of his reach. She opened the cabinet behind her, pretending to be busy looking for her pajamas.
Samuel shot her a meaningful look and walked out of the dressing room.
Ella came out of the wardrobe with her nightgown when she heard Vincent's voice from the other side of the closed bedroom door.
Once again, she was left alone in the big bedroom. She couldn't help wondering where Samuel went. Has he left already? When would he be back?
With a deep sense of disappointment, Ella went into the bathroom with her nightgown.
The bath water was a little hot. Ella's skin looked fresh and glowing under the steam, emphasizing her bruises more.
After soaking for a while, Ella stood up. She wrapped her body with the towel next to her, and walked out of the bathtub.
Opening the door of the bathroom, she saw a man standing outside the door. Ella shrieked, and quickly hid behind a wall to cover herself.
Didn't Samuel leave just now? Who else would enter the bathroom now? He wasn't supposed to show up...
It was too quiet in the bathroom. If he hadn't heard the noise behind the wall, Samuel would've thought there was no one there. But the steaming bathtub confirmed his suspicions.
In an instant, Samuel pulled Ella out from behind the wall.
Dragging her out of the bathroom, he put her on the big bed.
Seeing the fear in her eyes, Samuel felt guilty again. Then he decided to flirt with her.
Taking off his coat, he threw it to the edge of the bed and pressed Ella beneath him to the mattress.
He put his palm on her bright red lips, as his fingers gently touched her skin. Ella trembled, feeling nervous and excited.
"Samuel..." She whispered uneasily, what was he going to do? His movements were so gentle, it didn't seem like punishment.
Her sweet voice almost made Samuel lose his control with her.
"Shh..." He put his forefinger on her lips to stop her from speaking again.
He gently kissed her earlobe. Ella's hand unconsciously clutched his shirt, "Don't..."
She hadn't fully recovered from the injuries he gave her.
Samuel smiled slightly, with a smug look in his eyes, "We haven't started yet."
"Don't you want this?" He looked at her blushing face with with a sly smirk as she wrinkled his shirt further.
Ella gathered her courage and raised her eyes to meet his. The look in his eyes made her feel that she was being teased.
