Audrey was glad that Cornell didn’t make things difficult for her.
She got out of the bed and walked to the door happily. But suddenly, she heard Cornell’s cold voice behind her.
“If you leave this room, I will have sex with you all night.”
Audrey had just put one foot into the slipper, while the other one was still dangling in the air.
Hearing this, she hurriedly sat back on the bed and smiled awkwardly.
“I didn’t walk out of this room.”
Cornell raised his eyebrows and called her, “Audrey?”
His voice was unusually gentle.
This scared Audrey even more. She knew that it was only a matter of seconds before his dangerous self jumped out of that gentle cover.
She stared at him while saying a silent prayer.
Suddenly, he smirked.
“Am I really that bad?”
They had been married for two years, but she seemed eager to divorce him recently.
His interest in knowing why only lasted for a second. He abruptly leaned over and pulled her into his arms.
Cornell then lifted her hand and made her fingers trace his jaw.
Even now, he still felt a slight pain from the bite mark she left on him. He whispered, “What a little lioness you are!’
The silence of the dark night magnified his voice, which sounded magnetic and sexy.
Cornell leaned in closer to her, nibbled on her earlobe, and said in a hoarse voice, “If people laugh at me because of this tomorrow, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
Audrey’s heart skipped a beat. This long-lost intimacy made her feel uneasy. She tried to push him away, but he was as hard as a rock.
The man next to her said in a deep voice, “Don’t move. Just go to sleep.”
Audrey wasn’t sure if she was imagining things, but from his voice, she sensed a hint of fatigue and grievance.
Cornell gently held her waist. The warmth of this touch spread to her whole body, causing her to tremble.
Audrey’s heart thudded in her ears. Fearing that he would notice her discomfiture, she tried her best to remain calm.
But it was too late. Lying behind her, Cornell pinched her soft cheek and said crossly, “Why are you so nervous? I already told you, I won’t fuck you tonight.”
Audrey was speechless. Did he have to be so vulgarly straightforward?
His embrace was not too tight, but she could still feel the warmth from his body and also his breath.
It was warm and comfortable.
Audrey particularly had a low tolerance to the cold. In the past winter, she spent most of her time in Cornell’s arms.
Now that it was autumn, she was beginning to worry about how she would survive the coming winter without him.
Perhaps fatigue overwhelmed her and she fell into deep sleep within minutes.
She lay on her side, with her hair scattered, revealing her delicate and alluring earlobes. She looked so attractive in her sleep.
As Cornell stared at her, his throat tightened. He wanted to kiss every inch of her body, starting from her earlobe.
It occurred to him that he still wanted her. In fact, his desire was stronger now.
This woman was like a drug. He became addicted to her!
He hastily rushed back home in the rain just because he was worried she would be scared alone on such a rainy day.
Cornell had never thought he would act so irrationally because of a woman, most especially the one who dared to bite him.
His eyes deepened as his desire gradually dissipated.
The warm sunlight peeped through the curtains and fell into the room the next morning.
Audrey woke up natural. Yawning, she lazily stretched her hands. Her elbow suddenly touched a warm chest.
She was startled.
Her mind went blank for a moment. She lowered her head, only to find that her legs entwined with a strange long leg.
She wanted to jump out of bed, but a strong hand around her waist held her back.
The body behind hers was so warm.
Audrey stiffened. It took her a few seconds to realize she wasn’t at her apartment but in Cornell’s house, so it was normal that he shared a bed with her.
“Morning. Did you sleep well?” Cornell’s voice came out husky, indicating he had just woken up too.
“Yeah, it was okay…” Audrey replied.
Cornell buried his face in her neck and said in a low voice, “But I can’t say the same.”
Audrey shifted to keep a distance from him, but he pulled her closer.
“Don’t move.”
Audrey’s body trembled. She pouted like a child who was about to burst into tears.
She could feel the change of his body now.
Afraid, she stiffened like a statue.
Audrey shut her eyes and waited with her heart in her mouth. But he didn’t move.
When she felt his fingertips drawing circles on her arm, she trembled and asked in a shaky voice, “Are… Are you done?”
“What do you think?” Cornell propped up his head with one arm and stared at her intently.
“Maybe it’s over.” Audrey wasn’t in the right state of mind to think about it. They hadn’t been this intimate for long, so it was embarrassing to think of such a thing.
“Audrey.” Cornell tucked strands of her long hair behind her ear. He then fiddled with her earlobe and said in a magnetic voice, “Since when did I become a one-minute man?”
Audrey’s face turned red, and so did her ears.
Cornell Lowered his eyes to appreciate Audrey’s earlobe between his fingers. His thin lips curved up slightly, and he said slowly, “Well?
Wanna test me?”
Audrey was speechless.
