Raegan's ears flushed as Mitchel nibbled, and she protested, "Who said I needed you to take care of my needs?"
Unaware to herself, her voice was both sweet and enticing.
Mitchel's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his lips approaching again with a husky voice. "Are you blaming me for not tending to your needs?"
Raegan was rendered speechless. Mitchel had a knack for bending the truth to his will.
In the midst of their talk, Mitchel's hand had already made its way under Raegan's pajamas.
Raegan tensed, her heart racing. They had just made out. Now, Mitchel wanted to do it again? Plus, he had just woken up. Though it didn't require much of his strength, diving into the temptation of lust didn't do his recovery any good. Raegan's cheeks turned pink, and her ears burned with a mix of embarrassment and longing.
Mitchel's gaze was intense, his arm muscles tightening, only intensifying the moment.
Raegan's thoughts were scattered, as if her mind was clouded. She let out a gentle moan, her lips parting ever so slightly.
"No... Don't... I can't handle anymore," she whispered, her voice soft and warm, her face glowing with a shy appeal. Mitchel looked at her more intensely. "Is talking big all you've got?"
Raegan decided it was best not to argue back. His endurance and skills in sexual intercourse were undeniable. If she talked back, he'd definitely "punish her with actions.
A blush crept into Raegan's eyes, and she uttered softly, "You know me..."
Mitchel noted her exhausted look and remembered she had just taken care of his needs and cleaned him up.
Trying to suppress his desire, Mitchel tenderly kissed Raegan on the forehead, smiling slightly. "I'll get you a yoga instructor tomorrow."
"What?" Raegan looked puzzled by the sudden change in topic.
Mitchel, his eyes warm with affection, gently stroked her hair. His voice was a bit rough as he explained, "You get tired too easily because you don't exercise enough."
Raegan's face turned bright red. "Quit it!"
But Mitchel, seemingly ignoring her embarrassment, whispered playfully in her ear, "I've heard yoga really helps with flexibility. There are lots of different poses we could try..."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Raegan couldn't take it anymore. She gave him a light slap and then covered her ears. "Stop it! I don't want to hear anymore!"
Mitchel just laughed. "Then don't come complaining about aches and pains later..."
Yoga poses could be quite a challenge. And yet... What man wouldn't be curious to try?
Hearing his insinuating remarks, Raegan knew plugging her ears wasn't enough. She had to silence him.
"Stop talking!" With that, she placed her hand gently over his mouth.
Mitchel chuckled, his laughter causing him to shake and unintentionally hurt his injury, making him grimace. Raegan, ever so alert, caught his pained sound and turned around in worry. "Are you okay? Do you need a doctor?' Noticing Raegan's concern, Mitchel wished he could just embrace her.
"It's fine, really." He frowned, pressing her head against his chest, lying to ease her worry.
Unable to see his face but reassured by his steady voice, Raegan's anxiety faded away. She relaxed into his hold, too
comfortable to move.
Their quiet moment together was incredibly warm.
Mitchel refrained from further teasing, soothingly running his fingers through her hair, his voice rich and captivating. "It wasn't all about my grandpa."
Raegan froze and then it clicked. Mitchel was referring to Henley's earlier taunts.
Mitchel gently revealed, "Actually, I noticed you even before you joined the Dixon Group."
Raegan was shocked.
Mitchel went on, "At Ardlens University's 70th anniversary, I was there as a guest. Back then, I was constantly on the move for the Dixon Group, swamped with work and sorting out some issues within the company. A professor I really admire invited me because I had once donated a building.
During the latter part of the celebration, I decided to leave early. While I was waiting for my car, I noticed a girl heading toward the school's artificial lake. I was afraid she might jump in, so I hurried over. But, it turns out, she wasn't about to jump."
Mitchel smiled softly and added, "I saw her with a little butterfly net, trying to save a cat that had ended up in the middle of the lake. Despite the freezing cold, with temperatures way below freezing, she waded into the lake to get the cat.
Once the girl got the cat out, it wasn't breathing, so she gave it CPR for twenty minutes. Then, she wrapped it in her coat, and when the cat started breathing again, her smile was the brightest I'd ever seen."
Mitchel gazed at Raegan. "I've never seen such a beautiful smile before."
Raegan was stunned. "Was it you who gave me a coat back then?"
Raegan remembered it clearly. It was bitterly cold that day. Her pants were soaked, and she was huddled in her coat, freezing, while holding the cat. Then, a man in a suit came by, covered her with his coat, and walked away before she could say anything.
"Yeah, I had my driver send it to you," Mitchel said, smiling. "I'm glad we met again after that."
Raegan's eyes widened. "The, the time after we had drinks..."
"You think I'm that easy? Mitchel playfully tapped her nose, a smile spreading across his face. "I let it happen because It was you." Anyone else would have been escorted out right away by his bodyguards.
Raegan's expression was beyond shock. So, she wasn't just a random pick for him? Their sexual intercourse after having some drinks wasn't a coincidence. He played along because she was the girl he had met before, which he used as an excuse to marry her.
Mitchel had always been a man of depth and integrity. To make it up to Lauren for the life-saving favor he assumed, he had generously gifted Lauren with estates and money, granting her a carefree life ahead.
Mitchel never toyed with Raegan's feelings.
Raegan's heart skipped a beat, struggling to put her emotions into words. It was a heart-fluttering sensation. She began to see Mitchel in a new light, realizing just how remarkable he was. His earnestness brought her a sense of security and comfort.
A sweetness filled Raegan, as though her heart was coated in honey. Their paths hadn't crossed by chance. Their drunken encounter was a deliberate leap toward each other.
Raegan decided it was time to open up. "Mitchel, there's something I've been wanting to tell you."
Mitchel caressed her head, his voice gentle. "Yes?"
Raegan gazed up at him with determination. "I've had feelings for you for a really long time."
"For how long?
"Ten whole years."
