The slap was rather gentle.
In contrast to previous encounters, Justin almost perceived Bellaâs action as just a gentle caress on his
cheeks, prompting a slight smile.
Bella thought, âDamn! Is that guy actually smiling?! Why does he seem even more shameless now?!â
âW-Why did you undress me?â Bellaâs arms crossed defensively over her chest, and her cheeks
flushed with embarrassment.
Justin looked deeply into her eyes, his gaze full of tenderness and affection. âIâm just helping you treat
your wound.â
What a bold and justified excuse.
That scoundrel was truly shameless
âY-You couldâve waited outside while I changed into suitable clothes, or you couldâve just cut my sleeve
with scissors. Why did you have to undress me?!â
Bellaâs face flushed with anger, her watery eyes glaring at him with indignation. âHow dare you act like
a rogue and still have the nerve to justify yourself?!â
âBella, we were married and have slept together. Weâve done it again, even after our divorce.â
Bellaâs breath hitched, and her lips, red like rose petals, pursed.
Justinâs voice was strained, tinged with desire, as he remarked âIâve seen everything about you, even
the things others havenât. If I were to act like you, wouldnât that be too contrived?â
âJustin, youâ¦â
Before Bella could finish her sentence, the man disregarded her and leaned in, which made her flinch
and shut her eyes.
âUmâ¦â Bellaâs eyebrows furrowed slightly.
With such a captivating beauty in front of him, Justinâs heartbeat and thoughts were in disarray. Even
his breath was hot.
âBella, just relax and let go of your hand. How else can I treat your wound like that?â His voice was
gentle and soothing, coaxing her.
Bella could not help but feel her ears tingle at his overly indulgent tone. Her mind was no longer under
her control as she obediently put down her trembling arm.
Justinâs breath grew increasingly erratic.
His hands trembled as he relied on his determination to skillfully treat Bellaâs wound and wrap it with
bandages.
Bella looked at the neatly wrapped bandage on her left arm, feeling deeply moved.
His emergency first-aid skills remained as professional as ever. It was as if the knowledge he acquired
was etched into his DNA, retaining its proficiency even after many years.
âThanks. You canâ¦â
Suddenly, Bellaâs vision dimmed as she watched the man lean over and trap her beneath his chest
âBella, you can thank me in a different wayâ
Before she could respond, he could not hold back any longer
He abruptly sealed her sweet lips, kissing her with increasing audacity and depth, as if he were
asserting his dominance
Bellaâs voice became muffled by the intensity of his advances as he took full advantage of her
vulnerability and trap her beneath his chest.
