Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 295

“You always say that…” I said in disappointment.

“For now, just focus on getting through your first week, ok?” Reiner said as he patted the top of my head with his large hand.

“Ok…” I whispered.

When he removed his hand from the top of my head, I opened my arms wide and beckoned him to come closer. Reiner let me hug him close and I enjoyed the feeling of having the warmth of his body surround me. I loved how I felt in his arms and I love his smell as well.

“I think that I’m going to have trouble sleeping tonight…” I whispered suggestively before I glanced up at his face to see his reaction.

“Didn’t you say that your body was sore all over?” Reiner asked emotionlessly.

“Well…” I said as I tried to make up an excuse.

“If the exercise today isn’t enough for you, I’ll ask the trainer to increase the intensity for you tomorrow,” Reiner said as if it was a brilliant idea.

I knew that he was teasing me, and I began to hate him a little for it.

“Ok…fine. My body is sore. No need to increase the exercise tomorrow,” I admitted begrudgingly.

“Go to sleep. Your body needs to rest,” Reiner said while his hands detangled my arms from around his body.

…

I couldn’t believe that I actually made it to the end of the first week of my rigorous recovery program. It was supposed to be a recovery program, but it truly felt like they were trying to kill me during that first week. However, Reiner was right, things did slowly start to get better. My body started to adapt, and I guess that meant that I slowly got fitter.

The meals that were overly healthy became less painful to consume as well. I didn’t think that the taste improved but I think that I had gotten used to the milder flavor of the food. Regardless, I am proud to say that I survived the first week o the program. Although, that didn’t mean that I was looking forward to the remaining three weeks.

“I made it!” I cried out with joy as I raised my hand above my head in a proud victory pose.

Reiner didn’t look that impressed with my achievement. Instead of looking at me, he was carefully reading something instead.

“What are you reading?” I asked, curiously.

“A report on your progress…” Reiner replied flatly.

While I was celebrating my humble milestone achievement, Reiner had his brows furrowed in concentration as he read the report. It made me wonder what the report said.

“Anything good on there?” I asked, trying to keep my tone light.

“Overall, it’s ok. You’re doing fine,” Reiner replied, eyes still glued to the paper in front of his face.

“So…what about my reward, R?” I asked as I tugged lightly on his arm to get his attention.

“I don’t think I ever agreed to anything…” Reiner stated emotionlessly.

I hated to admit it but now that he had mentioned it, I guess he was right.

“Come on!” I cried out in desperation.
