Angela felt a warm and fuzzy feeling rise up within her as she reached out to cling to his neck. She leaned against his chest at ease. “You’re not allowed to lie to me or leave me, ever. I will be your responsibility for the rest of your life.” He hugged her tightly and whispered into her ears, “Sure, I will take full responsibility for the rest of your life.”
“Okay! I want to be hugged tightly to sleep by you every night from today onward.” She lifted her head and looked at him with doe eyes, looking innocent yet seductive.
“Sure!” He dropped a kiss on her forehead and noticed that the blanket had slid off her body. There were some reddened marks on her skin and he kissed the spot with a distressed expression.
Angela lowered her head and saw that too as she blushed. “You were so rough last night.”
“I’m sorry.” Richard apologized in a hoarse voice.
“I’m thirsty and I want some water.” Indeed, the spoiled princess could not shake off her habit overnight. Fluttering her eyelashes, she looked at him with indication for him to fetch her some water.
The man smiled in response and stroked her on the nose before getting up. As soon as he rose, his firm and well-toned back was revealed to her.
Angela saw his back and her eyes widened in surprise instantly. Subsequently, she blinked and shifted her eyes guiltily; his back was horrific looking! It must be some wild cat that did that! She would never admit to inflicting such wounds on him.
Hmm? She recalled the past events and realized that it seemed to have been her own doing. Within split seconds, her face flushed redder than ever. How did I even do that?!
By then, Richard had brought a glass of water over for her and personally held the glass to her mouth. “Get up. Let’s go for breakfast.”
