“He’s not my biological brother, but he might as well be one.”
Mason didn’t seem quite satisfied with that answer.
Janet felt helpless, so she explained further, “I had an eyelash in my eye earlier. He was helping me to get rid of it by blowing at my eye. There’s nothing going on between us.”
In all honesty, she had been observing him from the very beginning. Hence, she was observing the micro expression and all its changes across his face. From the beginning to the end, isn’t he… jealous? Is he jealous?
“Aren’t you leaving yet?” She had barely uttered those words when he suddenly wrapped her in his arms again. Is he trying to force a kiss on me again?
Janet thought that Mason was about to lose control again, so she was completely prepared for his second attempt. If he dares to kiss me again, I’ll beat him up this time.
Nevertheless, Mason did not proceed to the next step. After a moment, he heard his deep and gentle tone just above her head. “Janet, were you explaining the situation to me? Janet, can I claim that you care a little about me too? Or maybe that you are slightly in love with me?”
He sounded extra careful, as if he was afraid that he might scare her away.
Am I explaining? Do I care about him?
Janet wasn’t quite sure.
I think there is some truth to all of the above.
Mason had an idea deep down in his heart when she remained silent, knowing that she wouldn’t voice out her thoughts. That’s fine because I can wait for her as long as she gives me a chance.
“Don’t do that in the future because it makes me very scared.” She took a step back from his embrace after saying that and kept a distance from him. Earlier, I actually felt relaxed and comfortable the moment he embraced me. That feeling is too strange for comfort. This isn’t good because I’m used to being alone. I don’t want anyone else to disrupt my daily routine.
“Sure, I’ll be gentler in the future.” Mason stared at Janet’s red lips while swallowing involuntarily. In reality, that felt even better than my imagination. I wonder when I can try that again.
Janet saw blood slightly oozing from his lips, realizing that it was most probably a result of her bite earlier and she scowled. “Sit down. I’ll apply some medication for you.”
“Sure.” He tried his best to suppress the surging lust within his body.
She placed the medical kit on the floor. After that, she partially crouched down. This position is sort of… suggestive… and strange.
Mason saw her hesitation, so he encouraged her with his husky and sexy tone, “I will not take advantage of you.” Even if I were to do that, I’ll do that in the open. Sooner or later, I’ll get her to willingly accept me.
Hence, Janet did not comment further.
She partially crouched down to apply some medication for him.
At that moment, even the sound of their mingled breathing sounded especially suggestive.
It was especially true when they heard each other’s breathing in the dark and confined space.
Nevertheless, it was fortunate that Mason enjoyed the torture.
Time slowly flew past, making it feel like half a century had passed when Janet finally announced, “It’s done.”
He looked down at her when she said that, noticing that she looked especially petite. Her shirt was obviously too large for her as her collar was wide and loose, naturally exposing her fair and smooth skin.
As a mortal male, I’d be impotent if I’m not driven by lust at all. Furthermore, the young lady is the love of my life. I have to stop looking because I’m losing control.
Janet noticed his gaze, so she covered her chest with her hand. Then, she asked unhappily, “Where are you looking at?”
He cleared his throat in embarrassment while looking away.
“Did you come over with Sean?” she asked lazily.
“I drove here alone.”
She cocked a brow at him. “Were you driving under the influence?”
“I’m not tipsy anymore.”
Mason felt lucky that he did not drink much in the banquet.
Since Janet was done with treating his wound, she left to have a shower. She had a bathrobe on her when she exited the bathroom. Hence, her fair and slender neck seemed especially tempting.
His originally suppressed, burning lust rose once again.
