Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 149

I couldn’t help but look up, heskating, wanting to ask but not knowing how. Finally, I decided to just get it over with…..Let me help

you undress!”

It was just taking off clothes and applying medicine! It was better to get it done quickly rather than dilly—dallying.

This time, without waiting for his response, I reached out, leaning towards his chest. A fragrant breeze brushed against Xander’s face. My slender fingers pressed against his chest.

Time seemed to pause. Thump–thump… My heart beat too strongly; my pupils trembled uncontrollably. My brain short–circuited, and my hand froze.

I had intended to start from the slightly open front of his robe and undress him from there, but when my fingertips touched his warm, firm chest, and my eyes saw the outline of his pectoral muscles beneath the silk fabric, I was instantly overwhelmed. ‘Ms. Wells, what exactly… are you trying to do?”

A low voice, laced with confusion and suspicion, sounded in my ear, the warm breath carrying a faint, clean scent caressing my face. It tickled, a sensual tickle.

I quickly withdrew my hand. “I’ll change my position.”

Xander: “You want to change your position?”

I wanted to spit blood.“…It’s not what you think… I just want to take off your clothes!” Then I realized it sounded even worse!

Xander chuckled, “Keep your voice down. Don’t get so excited.”

Me:“…”

My wolf was panic with face blushed, “I! AM! NOT! EXCITED!”

My face was burning. And Xander’s amused expression seemed to confirm my nefarious intentions.

I took a breath to explain, then realized it would only make things more awkward, so I stopped, moving to his back. I said I wanted

to change positions because I wanted to be behind him! To undress him from behind… Argh!

After silently panicking for a few seconds, I forcibly steered my thoughts back on track. Taking off his clothes was to apply medicine! To change the bandage! It was a very, very simple task!!

‘Ms. Wells, crouching behind me… aren’t you trying to murder me?” Xander teased.

Me:“…”

I gave a dry, awkward laugh, no longer hesitating. I reached for his neck, skillfully slipping my hand inside the robe collar. Although I was careful not to touch his skin, I inevitably touched his neck, collarbone, shoulders, and arms… It wasn’t intentional, it was unavoidable.

The robe slid off his upper body, revealing a large expanse of flawless, pale skin. His extremely broad shoulders, narrow waist, and the outline of his V–line from the side disappearing into his waistline… his perfectly proportioned musculature was like a sculpture; you could feel the strength just by looking at it.

A visual feast. That was my assessment.

Probably because being behind him prevented him from seeing me, I felt more relaxed and even had the leisure to admire the “scenery” that had unexpectedly entered my line of sight. I saw what I saw, but I didn’t stare. The task at hand was more important.

Kneeling on the bed, I bent down to unwrap the bandage around his waist. Then, I took the ointment, using a cotton swab to carefully apply it. The ointment was very moist and sticky. Subconsciously, I blew on it to speed up drying…

Xander froze. The muscles in his back tensed.
