After the Cold Marriage His Crazy Love (Iris and Julian) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 A Warm Night

Julian faked being mad. “What do you think?”

That question said it all.

Iris felt a warm flutter of sweetness in her chest, and a smile spread across her lips. She suddenly worked up the courage to lift her hands gently and hug Julian’s strong waist.

Her soft body pressed up against his chest. She buried her face in his chest, closed her eyes, and held him tight.

Julian’s hands froze. His whole body tensed up, not moving a muscle. His chest rose and fell fast, his breathing getting heavy and rough. He looked down at Iris in his arms.

“Your heart’s beating so fast.” Iris sounded shy and playful, her voice soft.

Both of their skins were hot. Through their thin pajamas, they could feel each other’s body heat clearly, their bodies pressed right up against each other.

Julian let the hand holding the hair dryer drop. His other hand touched the back of her head. He tilted his head back, opened his mouth a little, and let out a deep breath.

After a while, Iris still hadn’t let go of him.

Julian’s Adam’s apple moved. His voice was hoarse, like it was filled with desire. “Iris, I love you hugging me like this. But you’re too soft. I can’t handle it.”

Iris’s face got burning hot, like it was on fire. She felt her heart jump up to her throat. She let go fast and stepped back.

How could I forget I’m not wearing a bra?

Julian was already deeply aroused, with no release in sight. Then she got her period. She should have stayed as far away as she could. But she even hugged him on purpose.

It was basically teasing him.

The atmosphere grew tender and alluring at once. The soft white light in the bathroom shone on Iris’s blushing face, and even the air smelled sweet.

Her hair was dry. Julian put the hair dryer away. “All set.”

“Thanks.” Iris thanked him quietly and turned to leave the bathroom.

She stood in the room, glanced at the big bed, then headed for the door.

Julian came out and walked fast to catch up. He suddenly hugged her from behind, his strong arms wrapping around her shoulders.

She jumped, her hands resting on his arms. She tensed up, her breathing getting all messed up.

Julian bent down, pressing his cheek against her car. His hot breath fanned her face. His deep, magnetic voice sounded like both an order and a plea. “Don’t go.”

“It’s already late. I gotta go to the hospital tomorrow to take care of Frank. I wanna sleep.” Iris’s breath was hot, flustered, and soft.

Julian nuzzled his face in her fresh, clean hair. His lips almost touched her ear through her hair. “Sleep with me tonight.”

Iris’s ear felt ticklish. Every cell in her body reacted. She was so shy she could barely stand it. “You know I’m not up for it these days.”

Julian laughed softly. “I’m not that crazy.”

Iris realized she got it wrong. She felt so embarrassed.

Julian sounded a little helpless. “We’ll just sleep together. Nothing more.”

Iris’s body and heart were too soft to say no. She nodded.

Julian let go of her, took her hand, and walked to the foot of the bed. He put one hand in his pocket and looked at the bed. “You want the left or right side?”

“Doesn’t matter.”

“It does matter. Once you pick, you can’t switch in the future.”

In the future? Iris felt another little spark of hope in her heart. She pointed to the side by the balcony.

Julian led her over. “Can we share the same blanket?”

“Yeah.”

Julian let go of her hand, walked to the other side of the bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down.

Iris stood nervously by the bed, not moving. She felt shy.

They’d been married for two years, but this was the first time they slept together. Her shy personality made her a little reserved.

Julian turned to his side and lifted the blanket for her.

Iris worked up the courage to sit down and slowly lie back.

Julian suddenly reached over and rested his hand on top of her pillow.

As soon as Iris lay down, her neck rested on Julian’s arm.

Before she could react, Julian turned to his side, pulled his arm back a little, and pulled Iris into his arms.

She fell right into his chest.

Iris buried her face in Julian’s chest, smelling the faint fresh scent on him. That nice, warm smell made her heart race, and a warm feeling spread all over her body.

Julian held her tight, burying his face in her hair and closing his eyes to take a deep breath.
