I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Pestering Her

Benjamin smirked, and there was a teasing glint in his eyes. "You find me annoying even though I haven't done anything? What if I actually do something? Would you cry then?"

His words carried an implicit meaning, and after a moment of delay, Harper finally understood what he meant and felt a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Subconsciously, she leaned against his chest, but it hardly had any effect.

She silently adjusted her breathing and emotions, then asked calmly, "What exactly do you want?"

"I haven't done anything, and you don't want to kiss me. Am I not allowed to stand here too?" he chuckled softly.

Harper finally understood what he wanted.

He hadn't threatened her with words, but with actions.

After taking a deep breath, Harper stood on tiptoe and pecked his lips.

Her lips were slightly cold, and they barely brushed against his before she prepared to pull away.

Seeing her initiative, his deep eyes filled with warmth, and he immediately took the lead and kissed her back.

The kiss lasted a long time. When Harper was almost out of breath, he finally stopped.

But he didn't let go and buried his head in her neck, his voice husky and low as he said, "I'm hungry."

His hint wasn't lost on her, but she pretended not to understand. "I'll cook spaghetti for you."

"Harper, you know what I mean," he said softly.

"I don't want to."

"You will want to."

Then, without another word, he lifted her up and carried her back to the bedroom.

Harper found herself unable to resist, the memory of their last encounter haunting her thoughts. Knowing she couldn't rely on her menstrual cycle as an excuse every time, she reluctantly complied, urging him to finish off quickly.

But her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of her unborn baby, and Benjamin seemed to sense her distraction.

He held her, his voice low and hoarse as he asked, "Do you feel upset when I touch you?"
