"It's all a big misunderstanding, believe me?"
I blurted out, still covering my eyes.
My heart was racing, terrified of being misunderstood, but Jack hadn't made a sound for ages.
I was tempted to look, yet afraid of seeing too much—though I had already seen plenty.
As I was panicking, a warm breath whispered in my ear, sending tingles down my spine.
"Of course, I believe you, Sophie. I trust everything you say," he teased, his chin nearly resting on my shoulder.
Being so close, I could slightly feel his chest muscles through his shirt.
I, speechless, just blinked, utterly lost for words.
Complete nonsense—he clearly didn't buy it.
Obviously, he was enjoying watching me squirm!
"Really, even if it wasn't a misunderstanding, it's fine. We are legally married, after all!"
He paused, then whispered in my ear once more.
His words made me shiver, and my legs nearly gave out.
Luckily, he caught me in time, or I'd have really made a fool of myself.
His strong arms enveloped me, the sensation of his muscles against my skin overwhelming.
I trembled, shoved the boxers into his hands, avoided eye contact, and fled the room.
Lady followed me out, but I slammed the door before she could catch up.
