Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 89 Sword With Two Edges

Christina was woken up by the sensation of her gown being unzipped.

She shuddered as she heard the clear sound of the zipper coming undone and felt the cold air on her skin.

The next thing she knew, Nathaniel had smothered her car and neck with a barrage of kisses.

Christina moaned a few times as Nathaniel tightened his grip around her waist and held her firmly in his arms.

Nathaniel pulled her closer toward his chest the moment he felt her move her head as though he was afraid of her running away.

He then buttoned up his white dress shirt and gently patted Christina on the waist. “Wake up, sleepyhead!”

Hmph! How dare he call me a sleepyhead when he was the one who wouldn’t let go of me earlier?

Christina waited until he had closed the bedroom door before climbing out of the blanket. She made sure to pick an outfit with long sleeves to cover the hickeys on her shoulder.

This was her last chance at gaining Julia’s approval, so she needed to get it done right.

Sitting by the windowsill with her legs crossed and her chin propped up by both hands, Christina’s skirt gently billowed in the wind as she stared at the blank paper in front of her.
