Chapter 3373 Carnal Urges

The sound of the boiling water vaguely reached Megan’s ears. She felt as though she had become the noodles in the pot, being boiled until her whole body went soft, and that Jake was going to feast on her in the next second.

Just when she felt her mind going hazy, Jake opened his eyes, his scorching gaze making her entire body burn feverish.

“Mm…”

Megan parted her lips slightly in response. Peering down the neckline of her white shirt, a half-smile formed on Jake’s lips. Then, he trailed his warm hands all over the smooth skin below the hem of her shirt.

“Why? Aren’t you going to cook the noodles anymore?”

Jake couldn’t stop himself from teasing Megan upon noticing the desire taking over her. His alluring eyes drank in every sexy little expression she made, and the lust in those amber orbs had accumulated to the point he felt delirious with it. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Don’t… talk.” Hooking her arms around his neck, Megan had given up thinking altogether. Only the sound of her own soft pants and the boiling water filled her ears.

All of this made her flustered as the strong need to release something overpowered her senses.

“Call my name, Megan. And I’ll give you what you want.” Jake’s bewitching voice sent a pleasant shiver down her spine.

Megan felt her brain short circuit as her body fell prey under his relentless teasing.

“Jake.” She closed her eyes subconsciously. Every inch of her body was a slave to his command.

“Wrong. Again,” he asserted and gently squeezed the most sensitive part of her body.

Megan’s initial protest instantly died in her throat. Opening her eyes into slits, there seemed to be a trace of puzzlement in her unfocused gaze.

“Jake?” she rasped out in a voice thick with desire.

He seemed to be satisfied this time. As though a dam had burst in him, the carnal urges he had been suppressing all this time poured into every cell of his body like a torrent.

His mind went back to the time she was drugged, and the way she writhed and moaned beneath him.

The passion and irrationality from that time seemed to resurface all of a sudden. Jake chuckled deeply, his predatory aura enveloping Megan, who resembled a powerless prey waiting for him to pounce on.

In the kitchen, the water had already come to a boil. The thick haze of lust blanketing both of them was made even more palpable by the sound of their light panting.

Megan woke up the next day to an itch in her throat and began coughing violently. That was when she noticed that Jake was still beside her.

Wait. I fell into his trap again yesterday. The soreness in her waist was indescribable.

Cough, cough.

As Megan sat on the edge of the bed, she realized that she seemed to be down with a cold. Recalling how vigorous he was the previous night, she began to suspect whether he was even sick in the first place. Could the flu medicine be that effective?

With a shake of her head, she got up and took some medicine for her cold. Upon noticing that Jake was still fast asleep, she stepped forward to checked his temperature with her hand, and found it to be normal. Finally feeling relieved, she let out a long sigh.

“What’s wrong? Why are you breathing so loudly beside me?”

Jake had abruptly woken up at some point. Right then, he only had one eye open and was staring at Megan with it, seemingly having no intention to get up.

Seeing him awake, Megan’s eyes widened slightly. Embarrassed, she immediately wanted to leave, but his hand shot out to grab hers and he swiftly pulled her into his embrace again.

“Where are you going? I haven’t slept enough yet. Stay with me in bed.”

“I…” Megan initially wanted to argue, but his strong arms tightened around her, not giving her any chance to escape. In the end, she swallowed back the words at the tip of her tongue.

Jake knew that her silence meant that she had compromised. He propped himself up slightly, the action exposing his bare torso. With a doting smile on his face, he gently pinched her cheek.

“If I’m not mistaken, the variety show you accepted a while back should be filming the third season soon, right? Will you have enough time to prepare for The Royal Wife?”

Megan did not expect him to bring up work-related matters out of the blue. Both of them had been together for so long, but they never talked about work in such a calm manner.

Megan leaned against his chest and contemplated for a while before answering, “There won’t be much of a problem in regards to this. I’ll be going to Yorksland for filming this afternoon. The casting for The Royal Wife hasn’t been decided yet, and it’s too early to say what will happen.”
