The More the Merrier novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Have Half Of My Bed

“Are you still itchy?” Arissa asked as she continued to apply ointment.

Benjamin stared at her beautiful face as she concentrated.

An incomprehensible look flashed across his eyes at the slightly pinkish part of her cheek. It looked as though it had been pinched.

He lifted his hand to caress it.

Arissa’s movement paused as she looked up puzzledly at him.

“What happened here?”

Benjamin locked his gaze with her.

She shot a glare at him. “You pinched it, remember?”

He arched a brow. Did I pinch her that hard?

Caressing it gently, he asked, “Does it hurt?”

Her heart clenched at his gentle touch. Trying to conceal her racing heart, she snapped, “It does!”

His strokes got even lighter, like a feather brushing against her cheek.

She glanced at him before resuming her motion of applying ointment on his skin.

“Lie on your front,” she said while scooting further away, giving him space to stretch out.

He cast her a glance before turning around to lie on his front.

She continued to apply ointment to his back methodically.

“We’re done! You can put your shirt back on.”

After putting away the ointment, she headed to the bathroom to wash her hands.

He sat up from his prone position and put on his pajamas as he looked in the direction she went.

At that moment, she came out of the washroom and met his intense gaze.

“Come here.”

He patted the spot beside him.

Her heart started pounding as she stared at the man sitting on the bed.

“Why?”

She crossed the room to him, acting nonchalant.

He merely indicated for her to sit as he reached for the ointment.

“Let me apply some for you.”

Touched by his offer, she complied and sat beside him. Her hand went to the spot he pinched earlier. “You don’t have to apply ointment here.”

As he leaned closer to her, his masculine scent surrounded her.

Feeling him so close to her, her heart began to race.

He was so handsome that she couldn’t avert her gaze from his face.

Once he finished applying the ointment, he said, “Let’s sleep.”

Putting away the ointment, he lay back on the bed and pinned his dark gaze on her, as if he was waiting for her to join him.
