Chapter 313 What About Me
“Where are you going?”
Benjamin hugged her seductively.
Her heart missed a few beats before beginning to race uncontrollably.
As she recalled their intimate actions just now, her face turned even redder.
“Let go of me! I need to go to the kids’ room!”
She used her hands to push him away. However, as she touched his muscular body, her heartbeat increased its pace once more.
“They are not babies anymore. They can sleep on their own!”
Benjamin’s face fell, and he looked utterly displeased.
Arissa stared at him. “No matter how old they are, they are still kids. I promised them I would sleep together with them tonight!”
Shoving him away, she hurriedly stood up and stepped out of the bathtub.
Benjamin furrowed his brows tightly. These kids are so much trouble.
“If you sleep together with them, what about me?”
Arissa stopped in her tracks as she heard his voice.
Turning back to glance at him, she let out a chuckle as she spotted Benjamin’s displeased expression.
“You are not a kid anymore. You can sleep on your own!”
She stared at him with a smile.
Benjamin’s face darkened even more. “But I am a patient! You should take care of me!”
He proceeded to give Arissa a domineering stare.
At that, Arissa could not help but find him adorable.
She uttered gently, “Finish your bath first while I coax them to sleep. After they are asleep, I will come here and help apply the medicine for you. How’s that sound?”
The kids were still waiting for her. If she did not show up, they would come here again eventually.
She did not wait to see if Benjamin agreed or not as she walked out after she finished speaking.
Benjamin’s frown eased a little. However, his brows furrowed again when he looked beneath the water.
If it were not for Gavin interrupting, he would have conquered her already.
Images of her curvaceous body flashed past his mind, and heat surged through him as his breathing grew erratic.
He could not take his mind off her.
Never had he been so obsessed with a woman before, nor had there been one who could make him lose control so easily.
D*mn it!
His breathing became rapid as he closed his eyes slowly.
The veins on the side of his forehead bulged slightly, lending an air of savageness to him.
His reddened face made him look even more attractive.
After a while, Benjamin let out a low growl. He rested his forehead on his hand, looking satisfied but also a little sullen.
Arissa went back to her room and got changed into dry clothes. Then, she walked toward the kids’ room.
The five kids were lying in bed, trying their best not to fall asleep as they stared at the door hopefully.
Upon seeing Arissa, their eyes lit up.
“Mommy!”
Arissa’s heart melted as she heard their delighted cries.
She stepped into the room and lay down beside them.
“You guys should just sleep if you are sleepy. Are you not going to sleep if I don’t come?”
“We were waiting for you!”
Gavin yawned as his eyelids began to droop.
“We said that we would wait for you, so we would keep our words!”
Zachary smiled mischievously.
“Mommy, you are finally here. Now we can sleep!” Oliver took off his glasses and squinted at her, appearing very adorable.
Jesse and Jasper crawled into her embrace and nuzzled against her.
“Mommy, sleep with us!”
“Okay!” Arissa answered softly as she gave each one a hug and a kiss on the forehead. “Goodnight, Sweethearts!”
“Goodnight, Mommy!”
The five kids also kissed her on her cheek. Then, they were finally willing to sleep.
Arissa took the quilt and covered the kids. She felt warm yet heartbroken upon seeing them dozing off within seconds.
Her heart swelled in her chest as she caressed all of their faces gently.
Surrounded by her beloved kids, her lips curled into a satisfied smile.
She continued patting their backs gently.
As she listened to their snoring, she slowly fell asleep too.
Benjamin had finished taking his bath by then. He furrowed his brows when he did not see Arissa waiting for him.
Drying his hair, he walked outside.
