Chapter 63
“Why?” Stella thought Brian hated her. If that were the case, why would he offer to help her become a
designer?
Brian leaned down so that his handsome face hovered mere inches away from hers. Her breath hitched
as her heart careened from beat to beat.
“In a few more years, you’ll be mature enough to take on the role of an international designer,” Brian said,
“Are you saying I’m childish now?” Stella accused, blinking her doe eyes at him.
He chuckled. “A little bit. I mean, you’re childish enough to run away from home.”
“And who’s fault is that-”
Stella was about to ask if Jessica’s child was truly Brian’s when he gripped her by the waist and lifted her.
The rest of her words were cut off as she wrapped her arms around his neck instinctively. Before she could react, she felt his lips crash against hers
The heated kiss seemed to set her heart alight. In the back of her mind, she couldn’t help wondering what
Brian meant earlier.
He
e hadn’t sounded like a man eager to get a divorce. If he were, then why did he cheat on her with
Jessica?
“Focus,” Brian chided, biting her lower lip in warning when he sensed her distraction.
Stella made to push him away but stopped when she caught the look in his eyes. She saw the light in them, the amusement and emotions flickering in his dark gaze
He obviously still had feelings for her.
“B–Bri” she whispered, her face warming as the nickname left her lips.
Brian was amused to hear her call him by his nickname. It was almost as if she was teasing him.
“Hmm?” A devilish smile curved his lips as he assessed the blushing woman in his arms. She was so
tempting, and he wanted more of her.
His gaze darkened as he pulled her closer. “Come here,” he ordered.
“You’re injured!” she protested. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the hungry look in his eyes. He looked like a ravenous beast who couldn’t wait to devour her.
Stella’s instincts begged her to run, but Brian wouldn’t let her go that easily. Without another word, he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her.
Stella lay on his torso as she melted into the kiss. She wanted to shove him away, but for some reason,
she could not summon the strength to do so.
The next second, he pinned her arms behind her and made her endure the kiss.
“I can’t breathe, she whimpered like a kitten,
Brian stiffened and pulled away from her lips, only to dip his head and bite her neck.
“Oh, my gosh!”
Joseph and Bernard stood at the door,
They were shocked to have been greeted by the sight of Stella being held atop Brian while he kissed her.
She was still lying on top of him with her hands pinned behind her back. Her face was flushed, and she looked so beautiful that Bernard’s heart skipped a beat.
Stella froze when she heard the door opening. By the time she snapped to her senses, Brian was already
pulling the covers over her.
She was wearing a nightgown while straddling him, and Brian didn’t want anyone else gawking at her.
Stella’s face turned a bright shade of red.
Brian, to his credit, was calm as he drew his dressing robe over him and patted Stella’s bottom under the covers. He was indicating for her to get off him.
She got the hint and quickly got out of bed. She then bolted out of the room.
“What’s the deal? You just broke your leg yesterday and already you’re itching to get some action?” Joseph teased, grinning.
Bernard was impassive.
Brian glanced at Bernard and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“He felt bad about you breaking your leg,” Joseph explained. “So he came over to take care of you.”
Bernard nodded. That’s right.”
“Be sure to apologize to her later, Brian reminded.
Bernard’s expression was tight as he replied, “Got it.”
After that, Brian turned to Joseph and said, “My wound’s hurting a bit. Could you take a look at it?”
Joseph clicked his tongue. “Oh, gee, I wonder why it’s hurting. I told you to avoid strenuous activities after
the injury, but the novelty of abstinence is clearly lost on you,
“You just had to drag your wife into bed and give in to your urges, huh?”
Brian smiled, looking pleased with himself. He was clearly in a good mood today
