Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Huh ? Noelle blinked innocently at Nicolass suspicimis gaze , then shook her head earnestly .
Not I really wanted a bath , but then I thought of this ides , so I figured Id ask you to help me .
Its like going with the flow , you know ? Youre such a smooth talker , Nicolas said , poking her forehead lightly lnut carefully .
Nick , help me , help me , Nick , Nick , Nick , please , please , please ! Noelle clunted like a broken record .
She was like a piece of sticky candy- once she latched onto you , there was no shaking her off .
Nicolas had no choice but to give in .
If he refused , shed probably pester him about it all day .
The thought alone was exhausting .
Finally , he sighed in defeat Alright , lets go .
Noelle cheered , Yay ! Bath time ! Bath time ? In the bathroom .
Noelle stripped down and draped herself over the edge of the bathtub like a contented kitten , letting Nicolas wash her with slow , centle strokes .
His careful tender touch had her humming in pleasure .
Her soft , sweet murmurs were pure temptation , pushing Nicolass self control to the brink Nicolas felt like he must have owed her in a past life , and now she was here to torment him .
He was a normal , healthy man , and having the person he loved naked in front of him , making such inviting sounds , was an immense challenge .
But no matter how strong his urges , he wasnt about to take advantage of her while she was injured .
After silently reciting every moral principle he could think of to no avail , Nicolas decided to distract himself by starting a about those assassins from yesterday any idea who sent them ? Any enemies you can think of ? Hmun Noelle tilted her head , pausing her humming . Not really a conversation .
Elly babe .
The fact that the attackers were also from the lab had surprised her .
Even more surprising was that someone had hired them to kill her .
Any suspects ? Nicolas pressed .
Ive had a lot of enemies in the past , but Im not sure who is could be .
Nicolass expression darkened , Could it be because your photo was released by the company , drawing attention ? Probably not , Noelle shook her head .
For dangerous jobs like being a spy , assassin , or mercenary , I never revealed my identity .
And in other industries where I did show my face .
I dont think I made any enemies .
So its unlikely to be an old enemy seeking revenge , Nicolas mused , his eyes narrowing , Could it be Lela ? Noelle had been in the spotlight lately , and jealousy might drive Leia to do something extreme .
But Noelle shook her head again .
Doubt it .
Leia doesnt have the connections for that The assassins were from the lab , and someone like Leia , who lived a normal life , wouldnt have access to such people .
Sull , Nicolas wasnt convinced .
We should investigate Leia anyway , see if shes been in contact with anyone suspicious Okay .
Noelle nodded .
After what felt like an eternity , Nicolas finally finished bathing Noelle .
He wrapped her in a large towel and carried her back to the bedroom .
The scene felt Lamiliar , The Last time Noelle had been in a similar situation was when shed stayed over at Dumons place and ended up with Nicolas .
That night , theyd crossed a line As the saying goes , A well fed mind wanders to mischief Noelle couldnt help but recall that night , and her thoughts quickly took a naughty turn .
When Nicolas bent down to place her on the bed , Noelle suddenly grabbed his arm .
What now ! Nicolas looked down at her , noticing the mischievous glint in her eyes Noelle grinned eagerly .
Nick , I want to do o what we did last time .
Chapter 130 A heavy sigh escaped Nicolas .
The moment he saw that sparkle in her eyes , he knew she was up to no good .
He set her down and flicked her forehead lightly .
What are you thinking ? Youre still injured .
Dont push your luck .
Whats the big deal Noelle pouted , refusing to let go .
My wounds already healing .
Once it scabs over , itll be gone in a few days , no scar left ! Lets wait until youre fully healed , okay ? Nicolas replied , trying to stick to his principles .
Ughhh Noelle let out a small groan , clearly disappointed .
She leaned in , whispering in a teasing tone , Nick , are you ... not up for it Shed read in a magazine that men his age were supposed to be at their peak . Yet , he kept turning her down .
According to the magazine , if a man kept refusing woman , it was either because he didnt like her or because he had ...
performance issues .
Nicolas raised an eyebrow .
His eye t twitched as he looked at her , forcing a smile .
You little troublemaker , what kind of nonsense have you been Supe Its not nonsense ! Noelle crossed her arms , defending her source .
Its full of life truths every woman should know ! Nicolas sighed .
Shed clearly been misled .
No more of those trashy magazines , got it ! Why ? Noelle frowned , clearly not happy with his decision .
Because I said so , Nick snapped back , his patience wearing thin Humph Noelle huffed , then added slyly , Nick , if youre really having trouble , you should see a doctor .
Dont be embarrassed ! The magazine said men often ignore their problems because of pride , and then it gets worse ! Her constant jabs about his performance were pushing Nicolas to his limit .
Hed been restraining himself all this time out of concern for her injury , and now she had the audacity to question his capabilities ! His eyes darkened as he leaned over her , his voice low and dangerous .
You really want to push me , huh ? Nick Noelle blinked up at him , sensing the shift in his demeanor .
His body temperature seemed to rise , his breathing growing heavier .
Nicolas closed the distance between them , his dark eyes locking onto hers .
A sly smile spread across his handsome face as le murmured .
Elly babe , looks like the last lesson wasnt enough , he muttered , his tone low and dangerous Fine , lets see if we can make this a real lesson .
