Chapter 144 Hold You Just for a While
Eric finally relented.
With a sigh of resignation, he removed his clothes and lay down next to Kate.
In her sleep. Kate groped around until she felt Eric’s familiar warmth. She then shifted restlessly and nestled into his embrace.
Eric, feeling somewhat powerless, grabbed Kate’s wandering hand.
His eyes grew deeper and darker as he stared at her sleeping face, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed the stirring within him.
The petite woman in his arms leaned against his chest, sleeping soundly, her soft hands finally
still.
Kate…
Eric leaned in gently, planting a light kiss on her lips, then quickly withdrew as if afraid of waking her, or perhaps himself, from a dream.
He gazed at her for a long while before closing his eyes.
Kate slept deeply that night.
With Eric occupied by work, it had been a while since they had shared a bed. Surrounded by his comforting presence all night, Kate slept with a profound sense of tranquillity.
The next morning, when she woke up, the first thing she saw was Eric’s face inches away.
Overwhelmed with joy and momentarily mesmerised by Eric’s handsome features, she stared at him without blinking. Instinctively, she reached out and gently traced the contours of his face.
Eric seemed deeply asleep; he didn’t react when Kate’s hand lightly brushed against his face.
She watched him for a moment, then leaned in quietly to kiss him. When he didn’t wake up, she grinned mischievously like a cat that had caught the cream.
She moved closer to Eric, her hand sliding down to his slender waist.
Eric had a strong physique from years of regular exercise and martial arts training. His waist was smooth and muscular, hinting at his explosive strength, and it felt amazing under her touch.
Kate savoured the sensation, running her hand over his waist a few times before letting it glide down to his abdomen.
Wow, his abs…
