Chapter 14

“Trying to curry favor with my parents, Taylor? What tricks are you playing now?” Gordon’s tone was mocking, clearly believing I was up to something

“Isn’t it normal to prepare a late–night snack for your parents? As long as we’re not divorced, I’m still their daughter–in–law. Shouldn’t I treat them better?”

“No matter what schemes you come up with, Taylor, forget about getting pregnant.” Gordon was still on

guard.

He really thought I was still the same woman who used to want to have children with him every day,

didn’t he?

“I’m going to work for my father’s company, so I’m not planning to have children anytime soon. You don’t have to worry about that, Gordon.”

I decided to tell him about my plans, hoping to dispel his suspicions.

Unexpectedly, he sneered and laughed. “What can you do at your father’s company? Even a college graduate would probably have better business skills than you.”

So, in his eyes, my abilities were so bad that even the most basic entry–level employees were better than

“You don’t know that. Gordon, you shouldn’t be such a snob.”

I admit his words struck a nerve with me. I impulsively grabbed all the blankets and turned over.

“Taylor, can you sleep more decently? And who did you just call a snob?” Gordon roared in anger and immediately reached over to yank the blankets back.

But, by then, I had rolled myself into a burrito, letting his whole body be exposed to the air.

“Taylor, give me the blankets.”

“No.”

“Taylor, I warn you not to be too presumptuous!”

“This is how I sleep. If you don’t like it, you can go sleep somewhere else!”

“Taylor, don’t get too cocky just because my parents are here!”

“I will be cocky! Bite me if you dare!”

My in–laws‘ recognition tonight gave me some confidence.

I didn’t care about what Gordon thought. If he wanted to bicker, I would bicker back.

I had never dared to do this before, as his domineering temper was notorious. I used to always go along with whatever he said and dared not to say no.

But now, I wasn’t afraid. At worst, we would get divorced. Once a person stopped fearing losing what they. cared about most, they became fearless.

The room was pitch black. I couldn’t see Gordon’s expression, but I could imagine how furious he was

from his heavy breathing.

Gordon had made me suffer so much before. Tonight, If he wouldn’t leave, he could enjoy cooling off

naked.

I lay comfortably in the warmth of the cotton blanket. My mood was as cozy as a cocoon, and I quickly

felt drowsy.

But just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly felt heavy. Gordon’s warm body pressed directly onto me.

“Gordon, what are you doing?”

Sensing danger, I instinctively began to struggle, but he quickly grabbed both my hands and pinned my arms above my head.

“What am I doing? Didn’t you ask me to bite you? Do you think I won’t dare?”

His face was close to mine, so close that I could smell the faint scent of alcohol on his breath.

His six–foot–tall frame pressed down on me through the cotton blanket. This strange sense of intimacy almost short–circuited my brain. My heart suddenly raced, and my breathing quickened.

“Gordon, you said you’d rather pay to find someone else than touch me!”

I couldn’t figure out what he wanted, so I could only shout, but my courage was lacking.

He didn’t speak any further, but his face came closer and closer to mine, so close that his lips were

almost on mine.

My heart felt like it had been suddenly thrown into a pot of boiling oil, becoming unbearably hot.

My heart thumped so hard that it seemed like it might jump out of my throat. My mind was filled with wild, uncontrollable thoughts.

What was he doing? Did he want to kiss me?

Oh, please. We never even kissed since we got married.

Could it be that he was overtaken by his beastly nature tonight and really wanted to do something to me?

No, absolutely not! I couldn’t let this happen!

But why couldn’t I help but swallow hard? Was I secretly hoping for something to happen?

I told myself to not be foolish. I must never forget how he hurt me in my previous life.

It felt like there were two voices in my mind constantly fighting. My thoughts were being pulled back and forth between emotions and reason. In just a few seconds, I went back and forth over 100 times.

I subconsciously tried to push him away, but he was too heavy. With my hands restrained, I didn’t have

Chapte 14

the strength to push him off.

His lips began to lightly rub against mine. 10)

I kept telling myself to be rational, but Gordon was clearly a master at flirting. His teasing was so intense that it left me with no willpower.

I was completely overwhelmed by him. My whole body was stiff, like a dried fish. I didn’t dare to move or even breathe while he kept probing.

I had never kissed anyone like this before. What was the next step?

My brain was in complete chaos at that moment, and I didn’t know how to react. I subconsciously closed

my eyes.

I couldn’t describe what I felt at that moment. It was an indescribable experience.

Any remaining rationality was ruthlessly driven away by Gordon at that moment. I realized that my defenses were about to collapse.

Damn it. With my lack of amorous experience, I was no match for this seasoned player.

He had me under his complete control, and I was on the verge of falling.
