You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Suppressed Her Desire

Edie shivered as her boiling body entered the cold water. The coldness pierced right through her heart. Stuart didn’t want to leave her alone in the cold water, so he decided to sit on the side of the bathtub.

After a period of time, Edie felt that the freezing water had gradually suppressed her desire within, it cleared her mind, then she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes gradually focused on Stuart, he had such a handsome face, and he was right in front of her. Stuart’s gaze looked both anxious and nervous, and he asked, "Are you feeling better? Or are you still feeling sick?" freewebnσvel.cøm

Edie was startled by what he had just said, and then her eyes were brimming with tears. Continuous drops of tears started rolling down her cheeks like rain; they hit the surface of the water and made one ripple after another.

Stuart didn’t expect her first reaction after waking up would be to cry. He trembled and became flustered. He leaned forward towards Edie and asked, "What’s wrong? Do you feel sick? How are you feeling? Or do you remember what Ross Luis tried to do to you?" Stuart’s tone of voice cooled down as he said his last sentence.

"Stuart," Edie cried as she called his name.

Stuart’s heart was breaking as she called his name. He would do anything to take her pain away. He thought to make Ross infertile was too easy on him, he should’ve taken his life. "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, tell me what happened."

The moment he finished his sentence, Edie threw herself into his arms, splashing the water around her. Edie’s arms embraced Stuart’s neck tightly as if holding onto a piece of driftwood at sea. She pressed her face against his chest, and her whole body was trembling.

Stuart stayed in the water with her for a long time, his body was cold, but he could feel Edie’s tears dropping onto his body, rolling from his open collar to his neck. The minimal amount of heat moved along his skin and into his heart, leaving a stamp on it. "At first, it was obvious that fat guy... but then it seemed to be you...I was so scared, and I thought I was imagining things... I didn’t know who was touching me..." Edie’s words were incoherent, but Stuart could comprehend.

She first saw Ross touching her, and she wanted to resist. She did not have the strength, and then Stuart came, and she felt relieved. She remembered thinking that it might be the effect of the hallucinatory drug.

How helpless must she have been? Stuart felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife. He kept his distance because he didn’t know if there were still any remaining drugs in her system. He wasn’t going to take the chance of having too much skin contact. Stuart embraced Edie without touching her and comforted her with gentle pats on her back.

"Don’t be scared, I’m here, nobody will ever hurt you again." Stuart was never this patient; he embraced her gently and comforted her as if he would never get tired of holding her. Stuart’s shirt was drenched.

Edie’s dress was ripped to pieces, and her body had minimal coverage. The two of them hugged each other in the water, the temperature of their cold skin slowly raised because of friction. Without either one of them noticing, the atmosphere in the bathroom became a little romantic. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

As Edie became more and soberer, she realized that she was in Stuart’s arms and blushed. Edie looked down and took her arms off Stuart’s neck. Stuart noticed her uneasiness, the light in his eyes dimmed. He let go of her, restrained the gentleness in his eyes, and turned frigid again. "Are you feeling better?"

Thinking of what she just did, Edie felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to hide. Blushing, she avoided eye contact with Stuart and nodded, "Thank you, I’m feeling much better." She looked down and saw what was left of her dress covering her body.

The dress was transparent since they were soaked, which made Edie look like she was wearing nothing. She crouched her legs in front of her breasts to cover herself. Stuart moved his eyesight away immediately and said, "Let’s go; you’ll catch a cold if you stay here too long."

Edie tried to stand up, grasping the side of the bathtub, but her legs were still weak. When she just got up, she slipped and fell forward. Stuart stepped forward, caught Edie, and held her in his arms.

Nervousness flashed through his eyes, "What’s wrong, still not feeling well?" Edie thought her buzz had already worn off, but when embraced by Stuart’s body temperature and his scent, her desire flamed up instantly. She kept her head down and couldn’t look at Stuart.

She tried hard to pull herself together and reached her hand to push him away, "Please, please leave, I might have to stay here a little longer." Although the buzz still hadn’t worn off, Edie’s mind was completely clear.

She could finally control her behavior. Stuart understood what she meant immediately. He was worried, but since he knew to stay here could only make things awkward, he nodded and said, "Okay, call me if you need any help."

"Okay."

Stuart left the bathtub and walked outside. He took off his wet clothes, dried himself off, and changed into a robe. With only a door between them, Edie could still hear Stuart by listening to the rustling sound, and she couldn’t help illustrating his body in her mind.

She had seen it before when she had to apply salve for him. Broad shoulders, slim waist, seducing v-lines, and down there... Oh my god! What was she thinking! Edie slapped her head out of embarrassment. She blamed the drug for making her imagination go wild.

Hearing a noise, Stuart thought Edie might have fallen again. He immediately asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Oh my god! Does Stuart always sound like this? How did she not notice how deep and sexy his voice was!" The temptation was deadly.

"I’m I’m fine! Just leave, don’t talk to me! Let me be alone!" Stuart decided to leave Edie alone for a while, he walked to the living room and dialed the reception. The phone was picked up quickly, "Hello, my honored guest, how are you, do you need any help?"

"Find me some cold medicine and bring it up." When Stuart speaks to other people, his power reveals unintentionally.

"Of course, Sir."
