Chapter 1153


    His throat tightened. He slowly bowed his head, his lips inching closer to hers.


    Hertha''s breathing was ragged, her mind a mushy mess. As ric''s lips drew near, she swallowed


    hard and closed her eyes slowly.


    Seeing her with eyes shut, eyelids fluttering like butterfly wings, her breathing heavy and erratic, ric


    knew she was nervous.


    His lips brushed against hers.


    Hertha felt his breath fan across the bridge of her nose, the undeniable masculine scent overpowering


    her senses, sending her heartbeat into a frenzy.


    ric''s lips grazed hers, and Hertha shivered, sweat beads forming on her forehead.


    But ric''s kiss didn''t linger. It was just a brush against her lips before he whispered teasingly in her


    ear, "Thinking of turning this act into reality?"


    His low murmur tickled Hertha''s ear, sending a shiver down her spine. Her heart skipped a beat; her


    eyes flew open and saw his yful gaze.


    Embarrassed and furious, she kicked out and sent him tumbling off the bed.


    "ric, you jerk!" Hertha eximed, sitting up quickly.


    Having felt the impact against his leg, ric had rolled off the bed on his own. He sat on the floor with a


    mischievous grin on his face. "So you''re really going all out for the bed, huh? Fine, it''s yours. I''ll crash


    on the floor."


    He was used to sleeping alone, which was boring. Now with someone to challenge him for the bed, he


    couldn''t resist the temptation to tease Hertha, ready to concede the bed if she gave in.


    He''d never met a woman as funny as her. His usual flings were always sopliant, afraid to cross


    him. They were utterly dull.


    The floor was carpeted with soft wool. It wasn''t cold to sleep on in summer.

    ricy down right there.


    Hertha red at him, "If you''d just given in sooner, you wouldn''t have been kicked, would you?"


    She settled herself into the bed confidently, pulling the nket over her stomach and closing her eyes


    to invite sleep.


    Resting his head on his arms, ric did the same.


    The room quieted down with only the sound of their breathing filling the space.


    Before long, Hertha had fallen asleep.


    But in thetter half of the night, she felt increasingly hot. She kicked off the nket, her body


    drenched in sweat. She was tossing and turning, unable to get back to sleep.


    Parched and overheated, Hertha got up to find some drinking water.


    In the dark, she forgot ric was on the floor beside the bed. She stumbled and fell right on top of


    ric.


    "Ouch!" A muffled groan escaped ric as Hertha pressed against him, her scent filling his nostrils. His


    already heated body tensed further, on the verge of snapping. Co?tent оf Draмa?ovеls.cом


    "Oh, I''m so sorry, I didn''t mean to..." Hertha scrambled to get up.


    Hearing his husky voice, Hertha''s breath hitched. Her heart raced, and her body melted into his


    embrace.
