HIS STRIPPER, HIS WIFE novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3

We were standing far too close. I could see every one of his lashes, and I caught the exact moment his pupils suddenly contracted, a flash of panic crossing his eyes.

[His breathing is messed up again. Even his scent is starting to slip out of control, and his face is red. You seriously need to get away from him.]

The system suddenly spoke up. I immediately pulled myself out of Adrian’s arms.

“You’ve been spacing out all morning… Is the urge to bite acting up again?”

After a brief silence, Adrian cleared his throat and asked the question quietly. I had been fine until he brought it up. Now that he’d mentioned it, the urge really did start creeping back.

Especially when my eyes landed on the tiny brown mole beside the scent gland on his neck. Even the roots of my teeth began to itch. I pressed my lips tightly together.

“No. I don’t want to.”

Adrian lowered his eyes and gave a small nod. After that, silence fell between us again. I had never realized how long this walk to school could feel.

Adrian had never been much of a talker, even when we were kids. I was always the one chattering nonstop around him. But today, I didn’t feel like saying anything at all.

Because the system had told me Adrian hated me.

He hated me touching him.

He hated me biting him.

And most of all, he hated having me constantly talking his ear off.

Only now did I realize that Adrian really did seem to be in a bad mood the entire way. Several times, I caught him looking like he wanted to say something, only to stop himself. His expression grew more irritated by the minute.

So I quickened my pace and walked even faster.

“Elena, if you want to…”

Adrian had barely gotten halfway through his sentence when the system started talking nonstop inside my head.

[The male lead is already this uncomfortable, and he’s still worrying about your biting problem. His self-control is unreal.]

I hurriedly waved my hands.

“I don’t want to. Not at all. I’ve been much better lately.”

Adrian’s dark eyes stayed on me for several seconds. Then he pressed his lips together.
