Chapter: 70 Millie struggled to get away from him, but Marcus was too strong, and she failed to break free.
Marcus felt his throat go dry as he stared at the alluring sight before him. The woman had really climbed into his bed in the middle of the night with the button of her top undone, making it clear how desperate she was for a man’s touch.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Are you really that desperate that you crawled into my bed with your button undone?” Millie froze when she realized what he was insinuating. ©
She hurriedly explained, “No, | didn’t... It’s not like that. It's not what you think!”
“Do you think I’m a fool? Look at yourself.”
Despite himself, Marcus could not take his eyes off her chest. The edge of her bra that was peeking out from under her top was as alluring as a lone poppy in the dead of night.
“| told you to stop looking and let me go!”
Millie’s face was now as red as a cooked prawn. Inwardly, she cursed the buttons of her pajama top for being flimsy and for putting her in such an embarrassing situation.
Marcus pursed his lips into a thin line as he felt restlessness rising within him.
Blood rushed to his head as he recalled their encounter from the night before and how gentle her skin felt in his palm. As if it had a mind of its own, his hand inched closer to her chest.
“No, don’t! You can't...”
Millie was completely panicking now. She tried to recoil from him, but her efforts were futile. It was over. Men really were creatures who thought with their lower bodies.
She closed her eyes and waited for his hand to touch her, unable to bear the shame she knew was coming. However, it never came. Marcus turned his head to the side and clutched the fabric that was barely covering her chest tightly.
He swallowed down the restlessness he was feeling and let go of Millie, clearing his throat in the process.
“Keep your lame excuses to yourself because | won't believe them. I'll let you off the hook for climbing into my bed so late into the night, but let me tell you this: even if you’re lonely and desperate, you must endure it. You can’t do anything about it. In the first place, you should've prepared yourself for a life of celibacy when you decided to marry me. You should’ve known that I'd never touch you.” ©
Instantly, Millie's ears flushed in anger. Where did he get the idea that she was lonely and desperate?
“I'm not lonely and desperate! | was just...” She bit her lower lip before she could reveal her true motive for getting into his bed. Great. She could not even clear her name now.
In the end, Millie just told herself that she was lucky because the man was so good at controlling himself. As soon as Marcus let her go, she rolled and crawled out of bed right away. She really wished the floor would open up and swallow her whole.
Marcus leaned against the headboard. His hands were on his sides, clenching the bedsheet as he tried to calm the desire stirring inside him. The damned woman had. almost made him lose control.
