Chapter 5
Julie sighed with relief, looking towards the leather couch not far away. She dragged herself over and plopped down, boneâtired.
She thought Kieran wouldnât come back, but he was back in a minute, with a tube of ointment in his hand.
Being on guard, Julie watched him approach, his deep voice sounding above her, âRub in some ointment.â
Once he finished, he set the ointment down by Julieâs couch.
The spot where the motorbike had hit hurt like hell, Julie didnât want to torture herself anymore. So, she picked up the ointment and headed for the bathroom.
Kieran watched the bathroom door close, with a serious look on his face.
Besides her upper thigh, Julieâs back was also aching, probably from the motorbike falling on her lower.
back.
The pain on her leg wasnât as bad as her back, so Julie took off her dress, ready to apply the ointment to her back first. But she couldnât reach the wound, her brows furrowed in frustration. She picked up a cotton swab, dipped it in the ointment, and was about to apply it when the bathroom door was pushed open by Kieranâ¦
Julie froze, and before she could react, Kieran had snatched the cotton swab from her. Then he turned her around, forcing her to face the mirror. A moment later, a chilling sensation spread over her back.
She knew it was the feeling of the ointment on her wound.
Julie snapped back to reality, quickly turning around to seize Kieranâs hand.
Kieran held her shoulder, pushing her towards the mirror, âDonât turn around, I donât want to see your
chest.â
Julie realized she was only wearing a black bra.
The next second, she quickly covered her chest. She saw herself in the mirror, her cheeks flushed. Though she hated him, her expression was incredibly genuine.
Julie glared at Kieranâs reflection in the mirror, âI donât need your help.â
Kieran didnât respond. Instead, he focused on applying the ointment to her back.
Julie stood on the marble bathroom floor, looking incredibly sexy. Kieran was tall, and without her heels, she was only shoulderâheight to him. She used to love hugging him from behind, feeling like he was her entire world.
Julie stiffened her back, waiting in silence for him to finish applying the ointment.
âYou hurt your leg too, right?â Kieranâs voice came from behind her.
âI can do it myself.â Julie reached for the towel next to her, wrapping it around herself. She reached out to snatch the ointment from Kieran, her expression frosty.
However, Kieran simply lifted his head, resisting her attempt.
Julie knew she couldnât fight him, even if she jumped, she couldnât get the ointment back. So, she decided to stop arguing with him and turned to leave.
However, she accidentally bumped into Kieranâs leg, which he had stretched out at some point. Losing her balance, she fell against the sink.
âWhat are you doing? Move your leg.â Kieranâs cold voice came into Julieâs ear.
Anger surged in her heart, she turned around angrily, not expecting Kieran to suddenly lean over.
As a result, her lips brushed against his cold ones.
The sudden accident took Julie by surprise, her bright eyes reflecting Kieranâs shocked expression. He obviously didnât expect this to happen either.
Julie blinked quickly, and then quickly turned her head to avoid his warm breath.
However, he suddenly grabbed her chin, forcing her to face him again under his strong power. But before she could say anything, she saw him suddenly lean over, blocking her breath.
His hands were on the sink, his arms holding her tightly in his narrow but secure embrace. His lips pressed onto hers, forcing her lips open, sucking on her soft and sweet lips.
His hand casually covered hers, his thumb gently stroking her palm, causing her to shiver. In her blurred consciousness, she felt his other hand, warm, slowly moving to her waist.
