Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 177

Verian slept for a good long while, so when she turned around and instinctively reached out with her hand to feel the space on the bed next to her, it was completely empty.

She opened her eyes and realized that Heaton had yet not gone to sleep?

The man had just returned from the study and upon noticing she was in a daze, he pulled the covers aside and pulled her into him.

Perhaps it was due to how long he spent in the study that Heaton's body felt cold to the touch when they hugged. However, this did not stop Verian from hugging him. She buried herself in the man as she smelled the clear and refreshing manly scent from his body. While pouting her lips, she asked, “What were you up to?”

When she smelled the scent of tobacco from his body, Verian frowned and asked, “You went out to smoke in the middle of the night?”

Heaton lowered his head and kissed her forehead while hugging her shoulder with a single arm, the other exploring down south as he began hugging her slender waist. “My nicotine addiction kicked in so I went to smoke two cigarettes at the balcony.”

In fact, it was slightly peculiar to have woken up in the middle of the night to smoke cigarettes. However, Heaton replied with a casual tone, with not a single hint of suspicious motives in his statement. With that, Verian reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck and advised him with a soft tone, “Smoking is bad for your health.”

The tone of her voice resembled a normal wife. It sounded soft and extremely gentle.

Heaton’s heart had a slight dent as he lowered his gaze and looked toward her. His dark pearly eyes were deep as he stared at her for a good long while before finally muttering a simple, “Okay”. He pushed the back of her head closer to him with his huge hand and said, “I’ll stop smoking.”

Since Verian was awake now, she no longer felt drowsy at the moment as she traced her index finger in circles on his chest, her mind was lost as she stared at the protruded sexy adam’s apple.

Although such a gesture was subtle, her long lashes brushed up against his adam’s apple while she blinked. The man reached out and grabbed her mischievous tiny hand with a swift motion and asked, “What are you doing, Riana?”

The man’s adam’s apple slid up and down his throat. He withdrew his dark gaze and focused on the little lady who was in his arms.

Verian had an innocent look on her face as she said, “Nothing much, just can’t sleep.”

Heaton grabbed and flipped her over while his voice was muted. Even his gaze dimmed. “You can do something else if you can’t sleep.”

The lady in his arms was still unable to react to what he meant, so she curiously asked, “What can I do?”

Heaton was speechless.

Heaton was uncertain when he had taken off her sleeping gown as her cold, bare body burrowed underneath him. When her lips were being pressed by his, Verian’s brows twitched slightly while she mumbled, “It’s very late now…”

“Yeah, about time to sleep now.”

Verian was speechless.

Back then when Verian was dating Jensen, she was still exceedingly young and strongly opposed to things like these. Even her kisses were nothing more than a gentle peck. In more serious scrutiny, those could not even be called kisses. However, it was only after she was with Heaton did she understand what a real kiss was.

However, she could not see through Heaton’s heart and was even more unsure if his feelings toward her were love or plain physical needs.

However, that was no longer important. Whether she was Sam Joyce’s replacement or not was unimportant as she would be leaving Heaton soon.

With that thought in mind, Verian suddenly made the first move by responding to the man. Her soft, tender lips started kissing the man’s tall nose bridge, his thin lips, chin…and when she reached the man’s adam’s apple, she playfully opened her mouth and gently took a bite.

The man actually let out a soft moan as his huge hand tightened around her waist and asked right next to her ear with a frown, “So, you don’t wish to go to sleep now, do you?”

Verian blinked at him and said, “I do. But I wanna sleep with you… Hmph…”

Before she could finish flirting, Heaton immediately smothered her mouth with his.

The man kissed her lips as his breathing grew heavier. While staring at her slightly swollen red lips, he asked, “Were you this unrestrained when you were dating back then?”
