Chapter 665
Tonight was their first time sharing a bed since their marriage two years ago. They were practically newlyweds
If a husband couldn’t perform on the wedding night, it was a huge blow to his pride. So, to save his ego, Cornelia decided to wait until he fell asleep before going back to
their room
Just in case, Comelia took a long half–hour shower before returning to the bedroom.
When she got back, Marcus was already asleep, with only the bedside lamp still on. She gently walked over, slid his hand under the covers. But as soon as she touched his hand, she fell a chill
His hand was colder than before. If it weren’t for his breath, she might think the man–lying here was a corpse.
Cornelia instinctively held his hand Perhaps feeling the warmth, the sleeping Marcus suddenly pulled her into his arms.
The position was pretty suggestive, Cornelia was startled and struggled instinctively
Although Marcus was weak, he was surprisingly strong. Instead of breaking free, Cornelia found herself held even tighter.
She called him softly, “President Hartley.”
Marcus grunted, “Cold”
Turned out she was overthinking!
Cornelia stopped struggling and obediently laid on top of him.
Soon, the room’s temperature got Cornelia sweating, but the man beneath her was still as cold as ice. She didn’t know what he was suffering from or what medicine he needed. She worried that if this kept up, he might not wake up tomorrow
The only thing she could think of was to share her body heat with him. So, she plucked up her courage, trembling, and began to unbutton his pajamas.
Button by button, slowly.
But when Cornelia had unbuttoned down to his chest, the sleeping man suddenly grabbed her hand with a strength that might crush her bones.
He suddenly opened his eyes, which were blood red, wild
Cornelia was terrified and couldn’t find her words.
He stared at her for a moment. Maybe recognizing her, the red in his eyes slowly faded, “Cornelia?”
Seeing the gentleness return to his eyes, Cornelia hummed, “It’s me.”
He held her hand and gently kissed it, then tightly held her in his arms, “Sleep”
Although the position wasn’t comfortable, Cornelia soon fell asleep for some reason.
The man who was asleep earlier slowly opened his eyes. His beast–like gaze fell on her face and her moist lips. Finally, he couldn’t resist, gently pressing his lips onto hers.
He only intended to taste her sweetness but couldn’t control himself. His kiss was fierce, as though he wanted to devour her.
The next morning.
The ringtone from her phone woke Cornelia from her sleep.
