Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 742

Shifting her gaze slightly, Rachel caught a glimpse of a black shirt from the corner of her eye.

One second later, her senses were assaulted by a crisp, wooden fragrance. Her back was pressed tightly against a man’s firm, warm chest.

“Are your injuries better?” Rachel shied away, afraid to get too close because of the wound on his chest.

David wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He bent down slightly and whispered, “Of course they are. Haven’t I proved it to you yesterday night?”

Rachel Grey was speechless.

His low, suggestive tone reminded her instantly of their indulgence last night.

Her fair cheeks flushed involuntarily.

She suddenly became uncomfortably aware of his warm chest and the heat of his breath against her face. Feeling awkward, she tried squirming her way out of his grasp.

David accommodated her cheerfully. He loosened his grip on her waist slightly and wrapped his broad palm around her cold hand. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back to our room and rest early.”

It was a perfectly ordinary sentence, but after how they indulged each other last night, it sounded like another disguised invitation to Rachel.

Her legs felt a little sore. She cleared her throat and replied calmly, “I’m not sleepy yet. Why don’t you go back to our room and rest first?”

“Are you really not tired, or trying to avoid me deliberately?” David saw through her immediately. He bent down and picked Rachel Grey up bridal style. “I promise I won’t do anything else tonight.”

Ever since she realized that ‘one last time’ meant nothing to David, Rachel no longer believed every word he said.

Seeing that she was struggling to escape, David’s expression became more serious. “Don’t move. Be careful not to hurt my wound.”
