Chapter 795
“Are you feeling unwell?” he asked, his brows furrowing in concern. He reached out and pressed his palm against her forehead to check for a fever.
Baylee shook her head. “I thought I would feel much worse,” she confessed, emphasizing the word “thought.”
Marvin paused, taking a moment to understand her meaning. Desire flashed briefly in his eyes, so fast it was gone in the next second, but not fast enough for Baylee to miss.
She cocked her head to the side and fidgeted with the glass of water she was holding. “So, you bathed me last night, but refrained from going all the way in bed? Is there… Is there a problem with your… uh… You know?”
If Baylee had even a fraction of Ellie’s experience, she wouldn’t have asked such a question.
Marvin gaped at her, unsure whether to laugh or sigh. Luckily for her, he wasn’t the type to take offense when his manhood was questioned.
He took the glass from Baylee’s hands and set it on the table.
Only then did she realize how inappropriate her question had been. “Ah! It’s not that I’m doubting your… abilities. Please don’t misunderstand! After all, I did see you once—” She cut herself off and quickly changed the subject. “What I mean is, it made me doubt my charms, do you see?” How could she not wonder about it, though?
When a young, healthy male is faced with his naked girlfriend… And to think that he had bathed her, too! If the guy managed to get through all that without anything spicy happening between them, it could only mean one of two things. Either he didn’t find his girlfriend attractive enough, or he had trouble with his performance. Or maybe, just maybe, he didn’t like his girlfriend at all.
As if reading her thoughts, Marvin suddenly grabbed Baylee’s hand and pulled her into his arms.
She felt his lips skim the shell of her ear, his hot breath spreading across her skin, sending a shiver down her spine.
“How do you know,” Marvin rasped in her ear, “that I didn’t do anything to you?”
Baylee pulled back to frown at him. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Her cheeks felt hot, and she was sure that her ears and neck were just as red as her face.
“Do you remember now?” Marvin tightened his arm around her waist, holding her in place.
