I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 114

Curling her hair with his finger, he said somewhat lazily, “Did you earn that money when you performed at Leslie’s place? Did he pay you in thousands or tens of thousands? That can't even pay for high tea at the places our people are used to.”

She rested her head on his shoulder, not saying anything.

Perhaps that kind of money meant nothing to him, but it was a symbol of her courage when she decided to divorce him. It was true that she had returned to him, but she still wanted to try to support herself as best as she could.

She no longer wanted to be dependent on him. She never wanted to receive another check from him after having sex with him.

He knew what she was thinking. She didn’t have to say it. He continued to embrace her, enveloping her hands with his big palms. He held her like that for a long time.

Eventually, she felt uneasy and freed herself. “I’m going to take a bath.” However, he held her hand, his fingers entwined with hers. Pressing his forehead against hers, he rubbed her face with his nose. She didn’t know how to describe the intimacy and flirtatiousness she was feeling now.

Zoe couldn’t take it anymore. Raising her head slightly, she said, “Stop it, Mason!”

Staring at her cheeks, he said with a husky voice, “Stop? Don’t you like it? Your body obviously likes it.”

He was mature enough to realize that her period had ended a long time ago. She had lied to him last night.

Her face was hot to the touch and red as a rose. She was worried that Mason would treat her roughly again. Both her dad and Mia might heard them doing it. If that happened, she would die of embarrassment.

Kissing her cheeks, he removed her outfit and caressed her gently. He had never been this gentle and patient before. To her surprise, he didn’t even force himself on her. He was just touching her tenderly, making her feel good.

His face was as hot as hers as well. He pressed himself close to her but trained his gaze on her. He wanted to look at her as she succumbed to pleasure.

She bit his shoulder and groaned.

Tilting her face, he kissed her and took his time with her. He was acting so tenderly right now that not even a nun could resist him.
