Julian narrowed his eyes at her and asked loudly, “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Julian, it’s me,” Dahlia said. “Old Mrs. Graham prepared some pudding earlier and would like you to try some. I’ll be coming in now if you’re still awake.”
The knob turned and opened with a click.
Maya literally jumped up from the couch and stuffed the blankets under the bed while Dahlia was passing through the corridor into the bedroom area. After that, she flipped open Julian’s blankets and slipped in like a fish. The moment she slipped in, she accidentally hit his chest and they both grunted.
This noise sounded amorous at night, and Dahlia stopped abruptly while walking in. Then, she asked tentatively, “Mr. Julian and Ms. Maya… May I come in?”
Julian gritted his teeth as he glanced at the head with the top exposed hidden beneath the blanket. An unreadable, dark look washed over his eyes. “Come in.”
Maya played along and climbed out of the blankets. After she straightened her messy hair, she greeted Dahlia with a smile. “Hi, Dahlia.”
She was about to get out of bed when Dahlia hurriedly stopped her. “You don’t have to get out. I’ll bring it to you and take it away once you’re finished.”
As Maya stole a look at the blankets which were not completely hidden, she was certain that Dahlia would realize what was happening if she was here and came to a quick decision – pinching Julian hard under the blankets.
She had no idea which part she had pinched, but it was hard and even hurt her fingers a little. Julian’s expressionless face winced for a second as he was the unfortunate recipient of her actions, and blood rushed to his face. So, he hastily got up on the bed and extended his hands to Dahlia. “Pass it to me.”
Dahlia passed it to him as instructed. “Okay, you can feed her, then.”
Julian’s hands turned rigid for a second, and his thin lips smirked. Then, he deftly placed the tray on the bedside table next to him, picked up the bowl, scooped some pudding with the spoon, and delivered it to Maya’s lips.
At this point, Maya was speechless and confused. Frankly, she didn’t know what Julian was expecting her to do and looked him in the eyes steadily. He raised his brows, shifting his gaze from her face to the spoon and hinting at her that he wasn’t going to put it away.
Even though she wasn’t a pretentious person and had sincerely loved him for three whole years, she still found it a little awkward to be so lovey-dovey with him in front of others, especially since it was the first time. She knew it was just a pretense, but her heart still fluttered against her chest. On the other hand, her rationale was reminding her that Julian now belonged to Selena.
Since she didn’t expect that Julian would help her, she thought about it for a second before saying, “I don’t like to eat in bed.”
Dahlia watched in dismay as the pudding that had already reached Maya’s lips didn’t end up in her mouth and hurriedly tried to smooth over the situation. “Oh, it’s only this one time. Don’t fuss over it. Mr. Julian has never fed anyone food in his life!”
Maya breathed deeply and ate the pudding Julian was feeding her when she realized that Dahlia wasn’t going to leave until she had the pudding. As they were sitting and facing the same direction, Julian would occasionally touch her face while holding the spoon.
Her skin was smooth and soft, just like satin, and her cherry-red lips were stained with the sugary liquid from the dessert, giving off a glossy shine and looking like a ripe peach under the light.
He gulped discretely as he held the spoon still in the air for a while. “Is it delicious?”
Dahlia hastily chirped in, “Would you like to try, too?”
The last thing Maya wanted was to share a spoon with him because it gave her the idea that they were sharing an indirect kiss.
Therefore, she snatched the bowl from him and finished the pudding in a gulp as she raised her brows at Julian provocatively. “It’s yummy.” But you can’t have any of it.
Amused by her reaction, he chuckled loudly, and Dahlia looked at them once more before hastily keeping away the tray and leaving quietly.
In the meantime, Lina was still waiting at the door, and it was all she could do to stop herself from sticking her ear to the door to eavesdrop. When Dahlia came out with an empty bowl, her eyes practically sparkled. “They finished it?”
“Yes, but it’s a shame that Ms. Maya is the only one who ate it,” Dahlia answered softly.
“It’s not a problem. As long as he’s a man, he won’t be able to turn her down,” Lina said. This time, I’m sure I’ll get a grandchild! “Clean the bowl and don’t leave any traces behind,” she added, sounding satisfied.
Meanwhile, in the room, Maya immediately rolled out of bed as soon as Dahlia left. Unfortunately, Julian pressed her down on the bed before she could successfully escape from his clutches.
She instinctively used her hand to shove him away. As a result, she did manage to create some distance between them. “She’s already gone. There’s no need for us to act now.”
Alas, he simply gazed deeply at her, his voice hoarse when he asked, “Didn’t you want this when you grabbed me earlier?”
A confused and speechless Maya shrieked in dismay, “I was just reminding you not to let Dahlia come to my side of the bed! Are you a sex addict or something? How do you always relate everything to that?!”
Nonetheless, he merely ignored her while he suppressed his desire and guided her hand downwards until it landed on a certain place.
At this rate, she had a strong urge to just remove her hand from her body forever. Sure, it would be difficult to live without a hand, but she would make it work somehow. Still, she desperately tried to withdraw her hand from his grip, her face was flushed crimson. “What are you doing?!”
He responded by enunciating each word slowly yet firmly, “Remind me again, did you have to grab me here earlier?”
When she made a mad grasp at him a moment ago, her aim was rather unfortunate. Coupled with her panicked grip, it hurt so terribly that he suspected that she wanted his line to end with him today.
Maya finally realized what he was insinuating. Her face turned into a rather violent shade of red, but she stubbornly retorted, “Fine. Let me go. I need to wash my hands.”
Julian’s eyes darkened. “You’re disgusted by something you use?”
She earnestly replied, “You should know that what I’m avoiding might not be an object…”
But the person? Does she really despise me that badly? Julian’s previously good mood disappeared in a puff of smoke when he thought of that.
The hazy mist in his eyes gradually dissipated as he calmly regarded her for a few seconds. Then, he turned around and got off the bed. “You can have the bed.”
With that said, he walked straight out of the room.
Maya didn’t care where he was going; since he had already given her permission to use the bed, she would obediently make use of it.
It was probably due to the sudden change of location as she failed to fall asleep even though she was utterly exhausted. In the end, she kept tossing and turning in bed, trying desperately to get some shut-eye. To make matters worse, she felt increasingly warm, which did nothing for her already discomfited state.
Why does it feel so hot and humid when it’s only March?
Maya agitatedly undid two buttons on her sleeping gown, only to find the temperature still too high for her. Moreover, for some reason, she kept thinking about Julian’s hand holding the spoon when he was feeding her the pudding earlier.
She could tell at a glance that his fair and long arms were quite strong.
Wait, why am I thinking about him at a time like this?! She couldn’t help but feel annoyed at herself for being so easily charmed by his looks. Eventually, her emotions got the better of her as she kicked the blanket off her person in a fit of ire.
Just as sleep had finally descended upon her, someone pushed open the door and entered the room.
Julian couldn’t help but slightly raise an eyebrow at the sight of the person on the bed.
In the dimly lit bedroom, the moonlight was filtered by the thick and luxurious curtains, leaving only a faint glow that fell on her slim waist.
That was the place he loved to touch the most when they were intimate; both his hands could easily encircle it.
A sly glint flashed in Julian’s eyes. He had told her to sleep on the bed, but he didn’t say anything about him sleeping on the couch.
Therefore, he naturally slid under the covers on the other side of the bed. Just as he was about to close his eyes, a pair of warm, soft, slender, and fair hands caressed his chest.
Her fingers then slipped in through the gap between his buttons and slid downwards.
She acted without restraint by entwining her slender and straight legs around his body in the cover of the darkness. When her softness unintentionally brushed against him, the man’s breathing gradually grew heavy. Yet, his voice remained as cold as ever when he demanded, “You didn’t want it earlier, so why play this game of cat and mouse now?”
Unfortunately, Maya was tormented by the heat invading her senses and couldn’t care less about the man’s sarcasm. She even let out a little moan to tempt him.
Emboldened by the little noises she was making; he couldn’t be considered a man if he continued restraining his desires.
Thus, he swiftly pressed her back onto the bed with one hand.
Her babbles were drowned by provocative kisses as his slightly cool tongue forced its way past her teeth, greedily taking every breath that belonged to her.
