They would be sleeping on the same bed!
That was absolutely a tremendous shock to Riley. She felt as if she had heard something impossible. Had Euan lost his mind?
They had been sleeping separately for three years, and it was already their lifestyle. Why did Euan want to change their lifestyle suddenly? Was he trying to test her, seduce her, or embarrass her?
Riley’s facial expression changed along with her doubts, while the tall and sexy man had walked towards the bathroom.
The sound of the water from the shower disturbed her thoughts more.
Euan’s phone rang at that moment, and Riley glanced at it. It was a call from Lydia.
Riley looked at the bathroom door, and a smirk rose on her face. She took the phone and swiped to answer the call.
“Euan, haven’t you slept either? Do you miss me? Our baby and I miss you very much…”
Ew!
The sweet voice that could make one’s scalp tingle and feel disgusting was heard from the other side of the call. Riley frowned as she continued to listen. ‘Lydia, let me see how have you seduced Euan?’
Lydia was lying on her bed that was decorated like a princess’. Her portraits occupied most of the wall in front of her bed. She was admiring her portraits, her clean and flawless appearance, her long eyelashes, and her tiny red lips. Underneath, her long and slender legs were covered with only a piece of ribbon. She was like a seductive goblin.
“Euan, the portraits taken today are published. They are beautiful, and you’ll like them. I’ve seen the layout of the villa, and I’ve asked them to make two copies of those portraits. We can place them in the villa’s corridor.”
She even wanted to place her portraits in the villa’s corridor? The villa was their wedding house. Did Lydia intend to interfere in their affairs too?
Huh!
There was no response from the other end of the call. Lydia looked at her phone screen. The call was still on.
“Euan, are you listening?”
Riley leaned against the European-style big bed and sneered, “Euan is bathing. What’s the matter? I’ll help you to convey it to him.”
Lydia was surprised. Her sweet voice just now had turned into a roar, “Riley! Why are you having Euan’s phone? You… are in the villa?”
Riley looked at the bathroom, “I am not only in the villa, but I’m also in the same room as Euan. Euan is bathing. Shall I let you listen to him bathing? Even the sound of the water from the shower is very sexy.”
Lydia grabbed the pillow, and her fingers were pinching hard on the golden thread on the side of the pillow. She almost tore it off. “Riley, you bitch. Put down Euan’s phone!”
“Huh, Lydia. Save some energy and take care of your baby. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you might not be able to endure it if you hear something later.”
Riley was estimating the time Euan would finish his bath. She had to put down the phone before that.
Lydia threw the pillow to the floor, making a dull thud, “Riley, how do you dare to seduce Euan? Are you going to use the same trick you used that time? Shame on you!”
Riley let out a cold hiss, “Come on, Lydia. Don’t you think that I don’t know how you managed to sleep with him? You don’t need to condemn yourself indirectly through me. Just stop!”
The sound of the water flowing stopped. Riley had to end the call.
“Riley, it is useless even if you used your old tricks again. Euan would not leave our baby and me!”
“I’ll wish you well then. It’s not bad to be a mistress. You better be polite to me. Maybe in the future, Euan will take back the custody of the child, and I will treat him better as his stepmother. And, Lydia, it’s not nice to disturb other couple’s nightlife. Just go to sleep.”
With that, Riley hung up.
Euan came out wrapped in a towel. His hair was still wet. The white towel was wrapped around his sexy long legs. The towel swayed gently as he walked as if it would fall any time.
He…was indeed enchanting.
“Lydia called you just now.” Riley continued to read her book as if nothing happened.
Euan did not react much, “What did she say?”
Riley said bluntly, “Nothing, she was just expressing that she misses you.”
Euan frowned, “Riley, are you even a woman?”
Or was she even his woman?
Riley raised her head from her gaze at the book. Her mind would be blank whenever she saw his figure. So, she quickly diverted her look on him, “Are you sleeping with a man tonight, Euan?”
Euan felt like strangling her!
“Riley, do you know you are trying to cause trouble?” It was an angry but kind reminder.
It was 10 p.m. Riley clenched her teeth and put down the book, “I know what I’m doing, Euan. Thank you for buying such a big bed. It would be enough for both of us even if it is only half its size.”
Avoiding her injured arm, she slipped into the blanket and laid down still at the edge of the bed.
The King size bed was a super large double bed. She only occupied a small part of the bed, and her thin figure seemed to hang on the edge of the bed, leaving a big space for Euan.
Euan took off the towel. His naked body under the bright light was comparable to David’s sculpture.
He was so sexy, enchanting, and seducing!
The man’s body was sexy under the light from the luxurious crystal chandelier.
Stop!
‘Riley, you did not see anything!’
Euan smirked, “Woman, the expression on your face betrayed you. You like my body very much.”
Euan was angry this time! He pressed on her arm near him, then his gloomy eyes showed anger, “Do you want it that much?”
“No!” ‘It was you!’
“If you don’t want to then shut up!”
‘Huh? It cannot be true? He did not want to make love that night?’
Before she could conclude the matter, he turned off the lights with a snap, covering the splendours in the room. In the darkness, Riley sensed the breath of the man near her. She could smell the fragrance of Agave on Euan, carrying every surge of excitement into a shallow breath.
He did not speak, neither did she. They laid beside each other flat. Riley tried hard not to make herself breathe rhythmically. She held tight onto her pyjamas, calming herself down.
Soon, the even and loud breathing sound of the man beside her sounded. It seemed that he was asleep.
She turned around under the moonlight and looked at him, then subconsciously smiled. She did not know what Euan was up to, but she enjoyed the quiet moment, and she even hoped that the time would pause at that moment.
Soon, Riley fell asleep in Euan’s fragrant scent.
In the middle of the night, Euan woke up. He was wakened up by something pressing on him.
As soon as he lifted his leg, he sensed that a small-sized woman was pressing on his leg. One of her legs was on his body and the other was stretched out to the other side of the bed. Her hand was holding on to his pyjamas, and her head was at his waist, sleeping soundly.
Euan frowned.
Stupid woman! What kind of sleeping posture was that? Riley, Dr. Watson, who was a self-confident and cold woman, had such a sleeping posture in bed?
Euan moved her leg from his body, then sat up and pulled her up, so that her head could be placed back on the pillow. Then he placed her injured arm well. Finally, the woman was back to the position before.
But only half an hour later, she was again grasping on him like an octopus.
Euan looked at the time. It was 3 a.m. Was this woman trying to torture him?
So, he simply laid to the side. His long legs clamped her legs tightly, not giving her chances to turn over. He placed his big hand around her waist, avoiding her arm, and held Riley firmly.
After Euan finished his actions, he then realized that Riley was near him, and her soft hair was around his arms. Her blushing face was near his chest, and a fragrance of Gardenia surrounded him.
He was relaxed and happy laying under the scent.
As Euan held tight on her, he perhaps did not notice that that night was the most tortured night for his body, but it was also the most delightful night for him in these three years.
“Woman, can you tell me what I am supposed to do?” He put his hand around her waist, closed his eyes, and whispered.
The woman in his arms mumbled something in her dreams and found a more comfortable position for her head to rest on. She was then quiet again.
Euan chuckled. That was the most relaxed chuckle that he had in these three years.
