Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 207

With no other choice, Bianca gently opened the door.

The children continued to sleep in the small three-hundred-square-foot room under the moonlight, though the two adults immediately hugged each other at the door.

Bianca wanted to turn around and head into the room, but the man hugged her delicate body tight in a vice-like grip.

"Don't do that. The kids will see us if they wake up…"

She was panting hard in Luke's arms. Luke was already an unrestrained beast when he was not drinking, now that he had taken alcohol…

Bianca did not want to imagine it.

She could only pray that he did not go overboard.

"I won't force you if you're not willing. You have to tell me if I'm hurting you. Don't hold back." Luke brought his thin and sexy lips behind her ear and kissed her fair skin, trying hard to hold back his urge to overpower her.

Bianca was silent in his arms.

She felt slightly more at ease when the man promised her that.

She thought it was ironic that Luke was usually an untamable beast, but he became more empathetic when he was intoxicated.

They were hugging for an unknown amount of time when Rainie turned in her sleep and mumbled for her Mommy. Bianca struggled out of the man's embrace and went to attend to the child.

Luke continued to stand at the door, his clothes still intact. His profound gaze carried a hint of lethargy, perhaps because of the alcohol.

He saw Bianca sit next to Rainie and gently pat her back. A hint of a smile appeared on his face but disappeared in a flash.

"Mommy is here…" Bianca whispered into Rainie's ear, hoping that Rainie would dream a happy dream in which she had a Daddy as well as a Mommy.

Rainie calmed down very soon, though her plump finger was hooked on the hem of Bianca's pajamas.

Bianca did not move in case her movement would wake the child.

Luke took off his shoes. Bianca had mopped and scrubbed the floor at least five times so that it was spotless. She and the two children slept on the floor because the single bed was not big enough.

Luckily, the floor was not cold or damp.

Luke went to the bathroom, perhaps to wash up.

Bianca's conscience told her, "You can't let this man stay here overnight. Everyone staying here is an adult. They might not discover anything for the first time, or the second time, but it would be hard to cover up your tracks for the third time.

Before she had a proper title, she did not wish that the noble Luke be disgraced.

Rainie did not let go of Bianca's pajamas. Bianca was tired of sitting in that position and lay down on the floor.

She could hear the soft sounds of rushing water coming from the bathroom. Perhaps the man inside was also trying not to make too much noise, in case he woke the children up. Even so, she was distracted.

Even though there was no practical difference whether she was still married or divorced with Xavier, Bianca admitted that she was looking forward to the day when the deed was officially done. Luke might not mind, but that did not mean that he did not care. The marriage certificate was nonetheless a thin barrier that separated the two.
