Chapter 609 - Six Hundred And Nine: The Temptation (2/2)

”You almost killed me!” Anabelle cried out, pushing him on the chest.

No, Julie disagreed mentally - he didn't dare say it out loud with her, else she pools a flood in his room with her tears. If he had wanted to kill her, he would have snapped her neck in a fraction of a second. But cutting off her oxygen carefully was to knock her out - although he regrets it now. He wouldn't have done it if he knew she was the one.

”I'm sorry, princess,” Julie could only apologize sincerely. He told her, ”Wait here,” and left the room only to return later with an ice pack which he used to rub across the red bruising.

”How did you find me?” He asked her, rubbing the clothed ice across the affected skin, and watched her flinch from the coldness as it chilled yet tingled her, ”I never told you I was here,” He inquired.

”As if you would have told me,” Anabelle rolled her eyes yet said, ”I asked Alex and he told me your location,”

Of course, it was Alex, he was not even surprised anymore. He couldn't help but wonder if that fool served him or his girlfriend. Since he had time to play cupid on duty, he would surely increase his workload.

”I had a good reason for keeping you away, it could have been dangerous. The next time before you attempt a solo mission, please inform me,” I can't stand your father's wrath if anything happens to you.

Niklaus might currently be his godfather but he doubted the man's influence would save him from Eden's fury - if he doesn't offer him willingly to Eden himself. Eden was his cousin, why would Niklaus defend him, an outsider, against his own relative? It didn't make sense.

He could remember the first time he had sex with Anabelle, Eden almost hunted him down - he broke his promise of waiting till she was twenty. What was the man expecting anyway? They were two hot-blooded teenagers in a serious relationship, not to mention the fact that Anabelle didn't make things easier for him.

She had no idea about the deal he had with her father and kept on seducing and tempting his self-control until his restraint broke one fateful night. The memory was still fresh in his head even after ten years.

It had rained heavily that night yet Anabelle visited him. She was drenched from her head to her feet and made use of his shower to bathe warmly. After that, the problem of what to wear surfaced as there was no spare feminine cloth until she settled on his polo.

His polo had been so huge on her that it almost touched her knee - almost - it settled on her thigh instead. His grandfather had been away that night with most of the employees asleep or seeking warmth of their own against the cold.

Julie remembered having nothing to do that night plus Anabelle's tantalizing thigh he saw whenever she bent, offering him a sneak peek made him nervous - and uncomfortable down there.
