Chapter 212 As if They Are Madly in Love
When the other party heard a woman’s voice, they immediately fell silent. There was hurried breathing before they hung up.
Josie smiled and looked at the man on the bed. “Doesn’t your heart hurt?”
She was now half-clothed. As Dexter looked at her, the desire in his eyes grew. He pulled her to him again. and kissed her carefully. “My heart yearns for you instead.”
“Dexter! Be gentle… Don’t leave a mark!” Josie couldn’t struggle, so she could only cry out loud.
As the year drew to a close, each department in Russell Group was wrapping things up. Everything seemed peaceful.
Dexter started to be particularly busy since it was the end of the year. Not seeing him for a few days was expected since he often left the country.
He left for a week this time. His flight back was delayed, and he returned three hours later than expected. Josie had been waiting for him since she finished dinner. She couldn’t wait for him, so she fell asleep.
Dexter returned, exhausted. He saw Josie sleeping soundly as she lay on the couch, looking very serene.
The laptop before her showed that she had been working.
Dexter felt slightly distressed. He removed his coat and put it aside before carrying her to the bed. He took off her covering and tucked her in.
Josie was half awake when she heard the noise. Her voice was gentle yet hoarse. She murmured, “Was your flight delayed?”
Dexter answered softly as he touched her soft face.
The man’s scent overwhelmed her. “Why aren’t you sleeping on the bed?”
“I was waiting for you.” She couldn’t see well. She tried to rub her eyes, but he stopped her. His voice was even gentler. “What did you do for the past few days when I wasn’t around?”
“Helping you ensure nothing is wrong with the design department’s year-end closing.”
Dexter heard her dissatisfaction and smiled. “Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Russell.”
Josie’s heart raced. It was as though she were really Mrs. Russell.
She held his hand. “It’s time for you to sleep, right?”
Dexter leaned close to her and kissed her neck softly. “I’ll pour you a glass of water before I sleep.”
Josie must have been exhausted. She didn’t even have the energy to answer. She turned her head to the side and mumbled, “No need.”
But Dexter still got up, poured her a glass of water, and put it on the bedside table where she could grab it casily.
As if They Are Madly in Love
It was past two in the morning when Dexter slept after his bath.
Josie awoke earlier than him the next day. As usual, she was composing herself as she sat on the bed when. someone held her hand lightly. She didn’t know when the man had awoken. He opened his eyes slightly. and her beautiful face was breathtakingly beautiful under the morning sunlight.
He reached out and pulled her forcefully. Josie was caught off guard and fell on him.
She was startled. “You’re awake. It’s so early.”
More importantly, he was in such a position so carly in the morning…
Dexter forcefully pulled her into his arms and touched her face. His voice was slightly raspy. “Why do I feel like you’ve lost weight after not seeing you for a few days?”
Josie disagreed and didn’t know what to say, so she kept quiet.
Dexter was dissatisfied with her attitude, and his smile dimmed. At the next moment, he started French kissing her.
He was aggressive in bed. Josie always felt afraid when she saw his burning gaze between their intimate actions. It wasn’t that she didn’t want it. It was just that she was exhausted when doing the deed with him. He was unrelenting when excited, and she suspected he would devour her whole.
Dexter poked Josie where she was ticklish, and she instinctively started laughing. She struggled, and the sensual air instantly dissipated.
Dexter was clearly startled. He sat up and raised his hand to massage the bridge of his nose. Dexter couldn’t do anything about it. He stroked her hair, “Please bring me my clothes…”
