Chapter 81

Chapter 81 “Jack?” Naomi froze in stunned silence and stared in shock at the man before her. “What are

you doing in my room?!” she exclaimed. “This is my room!” Jack snapped.

He grabbed the back of Naomi‘s neck and unceremoniously threw her off of him. His deep voice was

clearly filled with irritation.

“Your room? But Smith...” Naomi‘s head snapped up as she came to a sudden realization. “They did this

on purpose! I‘m sleeping in the guest room!” As Naomi shot up, she heard Smith‘s gentle voice from the

other side of the bedroom door. “Miss Naomi, I‘ve sent the bed and covers from the guest room for

mending.” All of it? That would mean that the only available bed left in the Hough Mansion was... Naomi

and Jack glanced at the bed at the same time. In an instant, both of them grabbed onto the covers and

commenced a new round of combat. “This is my room. Get out!” “I got into college, which means I won

the bet, and this bed is mine! You get out!” Naomi held stubbornly onto the covers and threw kicks and

punches at Jack with her free arm and leg. Jack dodged her attacks with a taut expression. He was not

about to take a fight with a child seriously.

During the intense scuffle, the couple ended up entangled in each other‘s arms.

Clack! Suddenly, the room fell into complete darkness! Naomi was straddling Jack‘s waist with her hands

resting right on his muscular chest. Jack‘s strong hands were coincidentally grabbing onto Naomi‘s

slender thighs. They heard Smith‘s faint voice from outside the room as they were frozen in place. “Oh,

no! The power‘s out! The mansion is so old that there‘s no way we‘ll be able to fix it tonight. We should

just go to bed now!” The pair began their struggle in the dark in the next instant. “Ah! My hair!” Naomi

suddenly let out a shriek and fell onto Jack‘s body, forcing skin–to–skin contact.

“Jack?”

Naomi froze in stunned silence and stared in shock at the man before her.

Naomi suddenly let out a shriek and fell onto Jack‘s body, forcing skin–to–skin contact.

Her hair was tangled with one of the buttons on his robe! Naomi cried in pain. “It hurts!”

Jack felt her warm breath on his bare chest while her sweet scent shot up his nostrils with a natural

charm.

They were in a compromising position in the compromising darkness. The worst thing, however, was the

blood rushing through his veins. “Stay still!” Jack snapped just as Naomi was about to move. Naomi

responded and obediently remained still. “Okay...”

In the darkness, she heard Jack remove the button from his robe with a violent yank.

Once she was free, Naomi quickly got off of Jack. She was about to speak up when Jack spoke up in an

exasperated voice. “Let‘s just go to bed.” “Fine, but don‘t you think about laying a finger on me!” Naomi

lay on the edge of the bed as she kept a cautious eye on Jack. “I have no interest in children.” “Hmph!

I‘m the one who isn‘t interested in an old man!” Naomi huffed, then grabbed onto the covers and curled

herself into a ball. She still did not trust Jack as she secretly held a silver needle in the palm of her hand.

She kept her eyes wide open in the dark and watched Jack‘s back. If he dared to make a move, she

would... Naomi went through a series of self–defense moves in her head. Slowly, her eyes grew heavy.

When she finally heard Jack‘s breathing turn steady and even, she gave in.. She turned on her side,

pulled the covers off Jack, and fell asleep. ‘Hmph! I won‘t even let you have the end of the covers!‘

On the other side of the bed, Jack‘s eyes shot open. In the darkness, all his deep eyes could see was

the blurry outline of Naomi‘s silhouette.
