Her pitiful look intensified the urge in Jared's heart to tease her.
Yet he knew she couldn't take his aggression anymore, so he could only take a deep breath and suppress the thoughts of wanting to bully her even harder. He touched her hot face and muffled, "Who is yours? Say it. How will I know if you don't say the name?"
Amber knew that this man was purposefully making it hard for her, and she would have kicked him out of bed if she weren't so weak now, for sure!
"Hmm?" Jared saw Amber's eyes roll and slightly lowered his head, kissing her on the lips, "Thinking about something?"
"No." Amber looked away, not wanting him to see what was on her mind.
What if he realised it and wasn't going to let her go?
Jared didn't push when he saw Amber wouldn't say anything; he just chased her down to answer the question he had just asked, "Come on, who is yours? I'll let you rest if you answer."
"Who knows if you're lying to me again, making me answer and then moving on to the next question?" Amber bit her lips and said aggrievedly.
Jared laughed lowly, "Not again, not this time, trust me, okay?"
Amber turned and stared at him the whole time to confirm whether he was worth trusting.
Finally, Amber compromised and tried to trust the man a little, thinking about how exhausted she was. "Jared Farrell belongs to Amber Reed." her red, swollen lips moved as she answered in a hushed voice.
Although Jared felt a pity for her soft voice but seeing how worn-out she was, he dismissed the idea of asking her to say it louder again and lowered his head to rub his forehead against hers, saying in a gentle voice, "Well, that's good. I'll stop. Go to sleep, you've had a hard night."
He kissed the woman on the lips again with those words and then covered her eyes.
When the man finally let her go, Amber felt relieved and finally surrendered to her sleepiness, so she closed her eyes under his hand and fell asleep within two minutes.
She was so tired that her breathing was a little rougher than usual.
Jared took his hand away from Amber's eyes and looked at her sleeping but still flushed face and her stranded sweaty hair, and his heartfelt as soft as if it was melting.
He then lifted the covers off his body and got out of bed, picked up the trousers on the floor and put them on, topless, picked up the woman on the bed and headed for the bathroom.
By the time he had finished bathing himself and Amber and changed the bedsheets again, it was almost dawn.
Jared tucked Amber in, grabbed his phone from the cabinet and sent a text message to Ben saying that he was gonna take a leave today before he too got into bed and fell asleep with his arms around the woman, only to be awakened by a phone call at 2 pm.
Jared opened his eyes, and the first thing he did was look for the ringing phone and hang it up before looking at the woman beside him to see if she had been woken up.
After seeing that Amber hadn't been woken up, he rubbed his brow with relief and sat up from the bed.
"It's two o'clock?" Looking at the time displayed on his phone, Jared raised an eyebrow, not expecting that he would sleep into the afternoon.
If Ben hadn't called, he would have gone on sleeping.
Sleep quality is much higher than usual when a beautiful woman is in your arms.
Jared put his phone down and looked at Amber, still sleeping with deep affection.
He knew that he had tired her out last night, so she was not woken up by the phone, even though it was ringing loudly.
By looking at her, he knew she would still have to sleep for a while before she woke up.
Just let her sleep a little longer.
Jared leaned over, kissed Amber on the forehead, and left the room, going outside to return Ben's call.
"What is it?" Jared walked over to the sofa and sat down, pouring himself some water while asking in a low voice.
Over the phone, Ben was stunned to hear the rasp in Jared's voice and the hint of sleepiness in it, "Boss, you didn't just wake up, did you?"
