Always Been Yours

Chapter 673

“Don’t be mad. I promise I won’t do this again,” Nicholas said in dulcet tones as he gently coaxed the girl in front of him.

Frankly speaking, Tessa wasn’t genuinely mad; she just didn’t want his wound to worsen, so the atmosphere returned to its previous harmony from before very quickly.

After he was done with his meal, she helped him back to the bedroom. Initially, he wanted to shower but was firmly denied access to it.

Tessa shook her head as she put her foot down. “No, the doctor already said that your wound shouldn’t get in contact with water.”

In the end, he had to give up, but something suddenly popped into his mind, and he gave Tessa a thoughtful look. “Since you won’t allow me to take a shower, then please help me to wipe down my body. It’s physical labor, too.”

At first, she was a little surprised, but she didn’t give it much thought and agreed to his request.

Soon, she brought some warm water from the bathroom, and Nicholas was already waiting for her, seated topless at the side of the bed.

Under the lighting, the outlines of his abs were visible on his tanned skin, and the sight of his sturdy chest made her face burn brightly. Tessa turned away in embarrassment; even though they had already done the most intimate form of physical contact, she still felt shy.

While she was wiping his body, her eyes kept drifting around, and her blush reached her ears.
