Mitchel, noticing her averted gaze and reddened cheeks, felt a surge of curiosity.
Next, he seized her quick, clumsy hand, which was trying to button up.
With a rough voice, he inquired, âWant to touch?â
Mitchel gently guided Raeganâs hand across his sculpted abs, letting her feel their firmness beneath his skinâs warmth.
The heat of his breath brushed against Raeganâs face.
Mitchel didnât stop there but led her hand lower, tracing the Lines of his Adonis belt toward a more private areaâ¦
Caught off guard, Raegan quickly came to her senses and pulled her hand back.
Her cheeks flushed a deep red, spreading to her neck and ears.
What was he making her touch? What a disgusting man! He was shameless, pervert and scumbag!
Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Raegan exclaimed, âYou⦠Pervert!â
In her agitation, she dropped her disguise and spoke in her true voice.
Mitchel, wearing a teasing smirk, responded, âYou were looking so closely.
I assumed you wanted to touch.
â
âWho would want to touch, you disgusting pervert! Iâll sue you for s@xual harassment!â
Mitchel, barely lifting his eyelids, quipped with a raised eyebrow, âOh? Then, do I get to sue you for pretending to be a medic?â
âYou!â Raegan was caught off guard and visibly surprised.
âHow did you figure it outâ¦â
She couldnât pinpoint when he had seen through her disguise.
Judging by his tone, he knew the moment she entered.
He made her feed him water, shared the same cup and even checked his wound.
It turned out he was on purpose.
Mitchel gently lowered her mask and lightly pinched her cheek, gazing into her eyes.
âYou could hide in a turtle shell, and Iâd still know itâs you.
â
His eyes sparkled with a playful Light, clearly delighted to see her upon waking.
Despite her efforts to move on, it was clear she hadnât, still clinging to her feelings for him.
This realization made him visibly happier.
His usually stern expression softened.
âYouâre the real turtle here! A soft-shelled turtle, thatâs what you are!â
Raegan, feeling tricked, swatted his hand away and turned to leave, but he caught her with his long, strong arm.
âPlease, donât go.
â
Caught off guard, Raegan almost stumbled into his arms.
She quickly pushed him away, accidentally touching a sensitive spot, which visibly changed his expression.

His attractive face lost color as he seemed to be in pain.
Raegan was taken aback, her mind flashing back to the day he was severely wounded.
Her heart tightened, and she instinctively moved closer to try and fix his disheveled clothes.
âAre you in pain? Do you need to get a doctor?â
Facing her, Mitchelâs robust chest was in full view.
But her concern made her overlook it.
âI think we need to get a doctor,â she said with a grave look.
As she tried to stand, Mitchel drew her back into a gentle embrace.
âIâm not in pain,â he whispered, his voice deep and enticing.
âYour concern makes me forget all discomfort.
â
Raegan struggled to push him away, careful not to cause him any pain.
âWho said Iâm concerned about you?â she retorted, irked by his assumption.
âOh, if youâre not concerned, may I just lean on you for a while?â
