Enna Clarkâs body shuddered.
Her eyes widened!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She had forgotten that the nurse was still outside.
What to do?
Her tongue desperately pushed the manâs hot and wet tongue away and, gaining freedom for a moment, she hurriedly answered, âNo, Iâm watching a video, donât disturb me.â
The nurse outside suddenly understood. She wondered why she heard a manâs voice from the room; turns out it was a video.
Miss must be watching the engagement video, right?
The nurse didnât ask any further, âAlright, Miss, rest early.â
A series of footsteps were heard outside the door.
Just as Enna breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, footsteps were heard again outside, the voice of the distant nurse returned.
âDuke.â
This time it was Edward Jacksonâs voice, âWhy are you outside?â
âMiss is in a bad mood, she wanted to be alone for a while and asked me to leave.â The nurse replied respectfully.
Enna could easily imagine the scene outside.
Feeling nervous, she couldnât help but hold her breath. At this very moment, Baron Lawrence didnât let her go and sealed her lips once more, teasing her.
âMmmâ¦â Irresistibly, Ennaâs eyes widened, glaring at him.
She didnât realize that her glare had no impact at all; her watery eyes only made her look even more like a round bunny, inviting more bullying.
Baron Lawrence felt a warmth in his lower abdomen; one hand firmly grasped her evasive head while deepening the kissâ¦
âIn a bad mood?â Edwardâs voice betrayed no emotion.
However, the nurseâs voice sounded tense, âMiss watched some news on her iPad at noon and was in a terrible mood since. She told me she wanted some peace and I took it upon myself to leave. I did tell her, though, that Iâd be outside and she could call me if she needed anything. Does the Duke want to see Miss? Sheâs not sleeping, sheâs watching a video.â
Now, Enna felt both burning heat and ice-cold chills inside her; her heart hung in the balance, extremely anxious that a sound would give them away and Edward would discover Baron Lawrence.
Yet, her body was already accustomed to this manâs presence, unable to resist him.
Ironically, because of the wound on his back, she didnât dare touch him, lest she worsen his already severe injury!
Every second was agonizing for her.
Finally, Edwardâs voice came through, âNo need, let her be alone for today.â
âYou watch over her tonight, if she has any requests, fulfill them without question! As long as it makes her a little happier. Understood?â
âUnderstood.â
The footsteps outside gradually faded, and Ennaâs suspended heart began to drop back down.
When everything had quieted down outside, she angrily bit the manâs thin lips lightly and then pushed his lips away with her tongue, gasping for breathâ¦
Baron Lawrence gazed at her watery eyes and flushed cheeks, longing to merge her into his very marrow. However, he was well aware of his own physical condition, so he firmly held Ennaâs waist, pulled her down onto the bed and embraced her. With closed eyes he commanded, âSleep.â
âI need to check your wound first.â Noticing the dark circles under his eyes, Enna guessed he must not have been sleeping well these past few days. Despite feeling sympathy, she persisted with her request.
Baron Lawrence tightened his grip around her waist, frowning, âDonât worry about it! It wonât kill me!â
