Nell was at a loss for a moment before snapping back to reality.
She was in utter disbelief that she actually swayed to the man’s seduction and shared a kiss with him. They were in such a provocative and dangerous position too!
Crying out in alarm, she tried to get up.
However, the seat Gideon sat on was close to the desk.
By abruptly erecting, her waist bumped onto the corner of the desk. Nell shouted in pain before falling back.
Gideon’s face saw a change of emotion.
Catching her, he reached out to rub on the bruised spot.
“Why can’t you be careful? Is it hurting? Let me take a look.”
The man’s large hand snatched around her waist with only a thin layer of cloth in between. The scorching heat from his palm aroused tension in her body.
She pressed on his hands, which were eager to check on her wounds, and shook her head.
Although her misty eyes threatened tears from the pain, she gritted her teeth and insisted. “I’m okay, it’s not painful.”
A furrow formed between Gideon’s sharp brows.
Without a word, he sullenly lifted her and took strides to the bedroom.
Frightened, Nell put up a struggle but it was no use. She grabbed him by his clothes and blurted, “Gideon Leith, what are you doing? Put me down at once!”
There were many maids present at home and they were watching from downstairs too!
Turning a deaf ear, Gideon walked past the corridor under the maids’ widened eyes as he carried her to the bedroom.
Upon contact with the bed, Nell took a leap off.
Gideon let her be and instead, darted her a cold stare before turning to retrieve a tube of cream from a drawer.
“Take off your clothes!” He coldly said.
Nell clenched onto her clothes. With flushed cheeks and downcast eyes, she averted her gaze.
“I can do it myself.”
She extended her arm to take the cream in his hand.
At the sound of a scoff, he moved past her hand and pulled open her clothes.
“Ah! Gideon Leith, what are you trying to do?”
Nell shouted as the man bound her hands over her head, pinning her on the bed. Her tender legs were constrained by his knee.
The woman’s resistance swallowed into the pillow, leaving only vague whimpering.
With a stiffened face, Gideon examined the red marks from the accident on her fair skin.
In a span of two minutes, the wound was showing signs of bruising.
Keeping a straight face on, he twisted open the cap and squeezed some cream on his hand before pressing it on her wound.
“Sob... Ouch...”
Nell indistinctly screamed.
Gideon unleashed his sharp tongue. “For a person who’s afraid of pain, you sure act thoughtlessly! How old are you? Didn’t you see the desk that was in the way?
Nell felt wronged.
He was the one who took advantage and kissed her, yet she was injured and being nagged at!
Following her refusal to speak, Gideon continued, “Cat got your tongue?”
Panting with rage, Nell turned and yelled at him, “I don’t want to talk to you!”
Her red face and teary eyes reminded him of a fiery cub whose fangs were pulled off.
Gideon could not hold back his laughter.
His coarse fingers grazed her wounds.
His breathing turned heavy.
Nell caught the drift. The flirtatious and dangerous sensation pulsing through the man’s fingertips threw her in a sea of emotions.
She quickly remarked, “Are you done? Let go of me if you’re done.”
This time, Gideon did not persist.
By any means, he knew what was to come if he leaned closer.
