Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 67

"You should stop making your wound worse."

Even if it didn't get infected, it would still be life-threatening if he lost too much blood.

"But I'm not feeling well now."

Henry lay on the bed. His hair was damp with sweat due to the pain, which softened his features.

"You don't feel well? Are you dizzy? Is your vision blurred?

As soon as Luz heard that he was unwell, she became anxious again. Could it be that he had lost too much blood?

Henry was enjoying being fretted over. He waited a couple of minutes because saying casually, "I haven't had a shower in a week."

Since he was injured, he had never taken a shower. He had been sweating a lot over the last few days, so he felt sticky all over.

Luz was stunned at first, and then she understood what he meant. The red on her nose spread to her cheeks as well.

He was asking her to help him...

"Help me clean myself up. You don't want to bear with the smell either, do you?"

"I... my nose has been stuffy these few days so I didn't smell anything." She made a hurried excuse and turned her face towards the window. Even though they had been married for a year before, and had seen each other naked several times before as well, but the thought of cleaning him made her blush.

"Then I'll have to do it myself."

Henry was completely unfazed. He reached out a hand to grab the towel in the basin. Luz, afraid that he would agitate his wound again, grabbed the towel before he could.

"I'll help."

The man on the bed curled up his lips into a smile. "Wipe down my entire body."

"..."

His words made her regret her actions, but when she thought of the image of him covered in blood, she gritted her teeth and put up with it.

She could do it. They'd seen each other in all their naked glories seven years ago anyway. Nothing much could have changed in seven years.

She pushed the warm towel over his body, starting from his ankle. Henry's back was a little stiff, but he tried not to show any discomfort so that he wouldn't pull at the muscles around his wound. However, as Luz neared the sensitive areas, the endurance quickly became torture.

The muscles inside his thighs tightened, and even his waist and butt were pulled back. Henry pressed his lips together tightly. He had done this to himself.

The towel in Luz's hand moved slower and slower. Soon, she arrived at his groin.

Her face was red as she kept her gaze outside of the window.

"That's enough."

Henry could have gone with it if she hadn't stopped, but now that she did, he could feel all the blood in his brain rush to the area between his thighs. He had to stop her.

Otherwise, when his desire was awakened, he wouldn't be able to control himself and he would have to bear the consequences.

"Okay, then I'll... go get some water."

Like a criminal who had been granted a special pardon, she quickly picked up the basin on the side and walked out hurriedly.

Henry took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down his burning desire. There was a flash of regret in his eyes. He should have waited a few days before asking her to clean his body.

In the yard, Luz walked back and forth with a red face. The farmer's wife got up to go to the bathroom and was shocked when she saw her pacing.

"It's so late. Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I... I'm enjoying the night scenery."

She raised her head and pointed at the dark sky. She instantly felt extremely embarrassed. The sky was so dark there was nothing to see.
