Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 2

Cherise was confused, thinking Damien couldn't see anything. "Can you bathe yourself if I leave?"

Damien didn't answer, but the atmosphere grew colder.

Realizing that Damien might be annoyed, Cherise timidly took the bath scrub and left. "Be careful, alright? Call me if you need anything!"

After leaving the bathroom, Cherise became restless and unconsciously glanced at the door. The floor is slippery. What if he accidentally falls? What if he falls and dies? I've just gotten married and don't wanna be a widow so soon…

Just as Cherise's mind was running wild, her phone rang. Lucy Staber, her best friend, sent her a video titled 'Revision Materials'.

Revision materials? Why did she send me this when the final exams are still far off? Cherise wondered as she clicked into the video.

"Mm… Ahh…"

To her shock, what came into sight was a woman pressing against a man! At once, Cherise blushed to the root of her hair. In a panic, she wanted to close the video, but her knock-off phone froze at that very moment, and she couldn't switch it off no matter how she tried!

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened. When Damien heard the erotic sound, his face darkened. "What are you doing?"

Cherise, who was already sweating nervously, almost dropped her phone on the floor, frightened by Damien's sudden appearance. Flustered, she shoved her phone under the blanket. The volume became smaller, but the woman in the video moaned more passionately.

"You…" Damien stared sternly at Cherise.

"I-I'm watching a bathing video!" Cherise pressed the blanket forcefully, hoping to cover the sound.

A shadow fell across Damien's countenance. "A bathing video?"

"Yeah." Cherise sat on the blanket, nervously wiping the sweat from her forehead. "It was a man giving a woman a rubdown. The woman was so comfortable that she moaned."

Damien was rendered speechless. Not only does she think I'm blind, but she probably also thinks I'm dumb.

There was a pin-drop silence in the room beside the woman's muffled voice that emerged from under the blanket. Dressed in her sleepwear, Cherise pressed onto the blanket in an awkward position.

The warm, yellow light shed on her fair skin, exuding an alluring aura. Damien's breath grew heavier, and his eyes darkened. Beads of perspiration covered Cherise's forehead. She never knew pressing on a soft blanket could get this tiring!

Fortunately, the video ended after a while. Cherise wiped away her sweat and took out the overheating phone from the blanket.

Damien sat down at the edge of the bed and gazed at her with a half-smile. "Has the video ended?"

Cherise wore an awkward smile. "Yeah… Indeed, it's not good to scrub too hard when bathing…"

Damien made no comments. Cherise immediately deleted the video and angrily messaged Lucy. 'You almost got me into trouble!'

Lucy replied instantly. 'Come on. I'm being helpful!'

'Isn't your husband disabled? I especially found this video for you. Have you picked it up?'

Cherise's face reddened. 'Go to hell!'

Since Damien was blind, Cherise didn't excuse herself when texting Lucy. As a result, Damien could clearly read their conversation.

'My phone froze just as I was about to close the video. And he heard it!'

'He asked me what I was doing. I barely managed to lie my way out!'

Damien continued remaining silent.
