CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 108: WARMING THE BED

"Move one more time, and I’ll take you right now!"

At his words, Vera Wave froze as if immobilized by a spell from the Monkey King, her breathing instinctively growing fainter.

The young woman cowered in his arms, not daring to move an inch—a far cry from the little vixen who had been brazenly trying to seduce him moments before.

Feeling the girl’s taut skin against him, Kris Cooper was secretly torn between annoyance and a pang of sympathy.

What on earth happened to push her this far?

As he pondered this, he felt the small figure in his arms stir.

"Mr.... Mr. President, c-can I move a little? I... I need to use the restroom?!"

Hearing her voice, Kris Cooper almost burst out laughing.

This girl... she always had this knack for infuriating him one moment and making him laugh the next.

"No."

"But I... I really, really need to go."

It wasn’t just ’a little’; she was desperate!

"Well then..." he drew out the words, "Alright!"

She let out a huge sigh of relief and was just about to slip out of his embrace when the man uttered two more words.

"Together!"

To... together?!

Before she could say anything more, the man had already gotten up, reaching out to pull her into his embrace and lift her from the bed.

"Actually, I’m not in such a hurry now. Why don’t... you go first?"

"It’s too boring alone."

Going to the restroom is boring?!

"Then... I... I’ll wait for you outside the door!"

She struggled, trying to break free from his embrace, but Kris Cooper immediately tightened his arms.

"Are you really asking me to take you, then?"

She instantly froze again.

By this time, Kris Cooper was already carrying her, striding across the wrecked living room. He didn’t want her getting hurt again.

He stopped in front of the restroom door and carefully set her down.

"Step onto my feet!"

She didn’t dare disobey and did as he said, stepping onto his insteps. Kris Cooper flipped on the light, then reached up, pulled down a bath towel, and bent to spread it on the tiled floor of the restroom.

"Go on. I’ll wait for you out here."

He wasn’t going in with her?!

Vera Wave let out a huge sigh of relief. Afraid he might change his mind, she hurried into the restroom, stepped onto the bath towel, and pulled the door shut tightly. She undressed and sat on the toilet, but the thought of Kris Cooper standing right outside made her blush furiously.

With him right outside the door, how could she possibly go?!

"Kri... Brother Kris, it’s too cold out there. Why don’t you go back to the bedroom first?"

Detecting the unease in her voice, Kris Cooper’s lips curved into a slight smile. He deliberately made a few audible footsteps as if walking away.

Hearing his footsteps fade away, Vera Wave finally relaxed. She quickly relieved herself, washed her hands, and pulled open the restroom door—only to see Kris Cooper standing right there.

He... he hadn’t left?

Then he must have... heard everything!

Her jaw dropped, and her face instantly turned as red as a September apple.

Watching the endearingly flustered and shy expression on her face, Kris Cooper felt most of his anger dissipate. He reached out, opening his arms to her.

"Come here."

"I... I can walk on my own."

"Don’t forget, you’ve already sold yourself to me," Kris Cooper said, his eyes narrowing slightly. "You’ll do whatever I tell you to do!"

Vera Wave had no energy to argue. Steeling herself, she walked over, reached out, and put her arms around his neck.

He lifted her into his arms, carried her back to the bedroom, and laid her on the bed. Then, he walked around the bed and lay down beside her.

Vera Wave quietly scooted toward the edge of the bed, but before she could get far, the man behind her reached out a large hand, pulled her back, and held her firmly in his embrace.
