"No, I want to do it now!" Hera forcefully pinned Bernard against the wall.
He was already heated from her teasing, but he held back his desires whenever he thought about the baby in her.
"Sweetie, don't do this…" He tried to push her away but was careful not to use much force because he didn't want to hurt her.
However, she misunderstood his reaction. "Are you playing hard to get?"
She bit her lower lip and narrowed her eyes. The little tinge of red in her eyes made her look both seductive and wild.
Bernard's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened. She was being too wild today!
The intimacy thickened in the air. The moment they took their clothes off, someone's phone rang. Hera was speechless at the unbidden disruption.
"Sweetie, it's your phone," reminded Bernard, who finally found the chance to escape from this.
She was reluctant to answer the call, so it hung up automatically. But it rang again. Left with no choice, she left the shower and grabbed her phone.
"Gideon?" She picked up the call and glanced back at Bernard, who quickly put on his clothes.
"Hera, do you have time now? Could you come to Twilight Club?" Gideon sounded awkward.
Noticing that something was off from his tone, she answered, "Okay. Give me the room number."
"I'll message you. Bring your acupuncture kit too," he emphasized.
The acupuncture kit?
She frowned. "What happened? Are you hurt?"
"Not me, but my friend. It's not really an injury… It's just…" He hesitated. "It's a long story. You'll know when you get here."
"Okay." She hung up the call and took a quick cold shower before changing into dry clothes.
Bernard noticed that she was getting ready to go out. "Where are you going at this hour?"
