Even for someone with great self restraint, he was on the brink of succumbing.
The woman in his arms was beautiful — charming and alluring, like a fine wine to be enjoyed.
Taking a deep breath, he clenched her jaw and kept her kissing-lips-gone-wild under control.
His voice was raspy, like a string about the snap.
“Be good now, huh?”
With eyes misty with desire, Nell stared at him and compliantly nodded as though she understood.
Gideon lifted her to the bedroom and placed her on the bed.
Nell’s clothes were already torn apart but her pants were still intact.
Gideon gently removed her garments and examined her wounds. She was in pretty good condition, except for her arms and a few bruises from either knocks or bumps here and there.
He let out a sigh of relief. Afraid that she might catch a cold, he pulled the sheets over her.
“Be good now and wait for me here.”
With that, he got up to walk out.
Suddenly, Nell tugged him. Gideon looked back and met her aggrieved gaze.
“Hubby, are you leaving? Aren’t you going to help me?”
With his eyes darker, Gideon curled his lips into a smile.
“Are you that afraid that I’ll leave?”
Nell nodded with all her might.
“Then be good. I’ll wring out a towel and come over.”
“Oh.”
Gideon soon returned with a hot towel. Carefully avoiding the cuts on her arms, he wiped her face and hands.
Nell had single-handedly fought four strong men in Pearl River International. The alcohol and food stains all over her body was an unbearable sight.
After he was done wiping her down, Gideon carried her into the washroom for a quick wash.
To refrain from coming in contact with the wounds, Gideon had Nell put her arms in the air during the cleanup. As a result, the woman seized the opportunity to put her arms around his neck for another good round of chewing.
Gideon was on the verge of losing it.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
He picked Nell up from the tub and placed her on the bed in the bedroom. After tucking her under the sheet, he made his way to the door.
Matthew had brought along a female doctor. Gideon let her in while Matthew waited outside.
It was not as though Matthew was incapable of managing wounds but the woman had tender flesh and the cuts on her arms were also pretty deep. To avoid leaving a scar, it was best he sought out a reliable doctor to handle it. She would need a couple tetanus shots too.
The doctor quickly took care of Nell’s wounds.
However, the drug’s effect was yet to be reversed. The doctor did not have much medicine on her as she came in a hurry. Although she had in possession a type of medicine to relieve her but it had a massive adverse side effect.
Having made his mind that there was no need for that, Gideon waved his arm. He returned to the bedroom after Matthew sent the doctor off.
Under the dark silky sheet in the bedroom, the woman obediently sat there. She was every inch a mesmerizing seductress with her long flowing black hair cloaked over her shoulders and skin as white as snow.
She put on a smile at the sight of him. Nell leaped down from the bed and pounced at him.
“Hubby, you’re back!”
Gideon felt a dip of weight over him. Suspending herself around his waist, the woman chained her arms around his neck and flirted.
“Hubby, I waited so long for you. I really missed you.”
Gideon, “...”
Feeling a pulse through the veins of his head, he stared intently at the woman before him, his eyes darker and deeper.
