Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 991-1000

The receptionist took a look at the good-looking couple in front of her and she could not help admiring them secretly. For a moment there, the receptionist was unsure whether she admired the pretty woman or the extremely handsome man. Finally, she came to the conclusion that she was envious of the lady!

The man was very handsome and he had a great figure; he was indeed a rare gem. After securing a room, Angela held his hand and entered the elevator together. She appeared to be even more anxious than he was.

For a moment there, Richard was in a passive state. “I thought that you wanted to have coffee? How about we grab a bite first?”

Angela nodded and reached out to select the top floor where the cafe was located. The night was still young and he was here with her, so he would not be able to escape anyway.

Indeed, she was using her way to let this man know that he could go and complete his mission, but he had to come back in one piece because she was here waiting for him.

They grabbed a bite at the cafe before heading downstairs to their room. Angela opened the door by swiping the card; as soon as she noticed the large, white king-sized bed, her cheeks could not help but turn rosy.

“Uhh… Why don’t you go have a shower first?” She shoved the man next to her and her shyness was evident under the lights.

However, he reached out and grabbed her hand to pull her before him. He kept his dark eyes fixated on her. “We don’t have to do this right now.”

As soon as she heard that, she lifted her head and met his eyes with a firm gaze albeit blushing. “I don’t want to wait any longer. Didn’t you realize that I was waiting for this chance to jump you ever since we were at the base?”

To that, Richard’s eyes were widening gradually.

Angela thought to herself, Whatever! There is really no need to take a shower. It’s too troublesome. She wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on tiptoes while cupping his handsome face. Subsequently, she leaned in and planted a kiss on him with her red lips.

For a moment there, he felt an incoming force surging within him. In order not to hurt her, he gladly initiated the movement and fell back onto the bed behind him. As for the lady, she fell into his embrace as well. It appeared that Angela was the hunter while he was her prey.

Her eyes shone as she looked at him. “You’re mine tonight.”

Heaving a sigh in response, he asked, “Are you sure about this?”

“I’m positive.” Having said that, she moved forward and kissed him again. She fumbled and seemed to be quite inexperienced.

Subsequently, the man placed his large palm around her waist and their positions were upturned; he was now atop her.

She revealed a seductive smile and her expression was charmingly sexy. She reached out to grasp his perfect chin and teased him. “I’m yours too.”

These three words were all it took for this man’s heart to flutter as if it was tickled by a feather. It was then a flash of strong suppression appeared in his eyes.

“I’ll keep you company tonight. Go to bed first.” Richard was trying hard to suppress his urges and even then, it took him the best of his efforts to achieve that.

Nonetheless, he did not wish to hurt her and merely wanted to keep her company before he returned from his mission.

Suddenly, Angela flared up upon hearing his words. “Richard, don’t tell me that you…”

As soon as she said that, that was the last straw for him and he threw all caution to the wind. He narrowed his eyes and spoke up hoarsely, “Of course not.”

“Then, prove it to me.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and refused to let him leave. “Otherwise, I’ll get someone else to prove themselves to me.”

Instantly, Richard’s eyes darkened and he suddenly felt a strong urge rise up. At that moment, he lowered his head and spoke with dominance, “How dare you.”

Immediately after he said that, he proved himself through his actions, planting multiple kisses on her lips non-stop.

The warm morning sun rays landed on the face of the girl who was sleeping soundly; it felt like a morning call for her. However, she was worn out and continued to laze in bed. Refusing to get out of bed, she avoided the sunlight by turning around and instinctively snuggled into the man’s arms, continuing her sleep.

The man who had woken up earlier wore a tender expression on his face as he admired the features of the girl sleeping in his arms under the glow of sunrise. He could not contain the smile from appearing on his face.

At that moment, a loose tendril of hair slid down from her forehead and he gently tucked it back behind her ears. Distinctly, he heard her mutter, “Richard, I’ve had enough.”

He tried hard to stifle his laughter as he replied in a hoarse voice, “Alright. I’ll stop.”

His words caused her to gradually widen her eyes as her eyelashes fluttered. Instantly, his exceptionally handsome face appeared in front of her and she noticed he had a satisfied smile on his face. She then reached out and covered her own face with her hands.

After switching off the lights last night, every sensation she felt was in the dark; but right now, they were shone by the sun rays and she could not help but redden in embarrassment.

Although just freshly woken up, she instantly regretted her actions last night. She regretted questioning his performance ability, which prompted him to work extra hard to debunk her doubt. As a result, he had not given her much chance to rest throughout the night.

She recalled the words she had told him the night before. “Captain Lloyd, please!”

“Richie, stop!”

Nonetheless, Angela had experienced a night that she was reluctant to recall.

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you a little daredevil last night?” Richard chuckled in a low voice and planted a kiss on her forehead.

At that moment, she planted her face into his arms. “How dare you bring up anything from last night!”

“Hehe…” He could not contain his giggle as he glanced at her tenderly and with full resignation. “I couldn’t help it. After all, I had been suppressing myself for the past twenty-nine years.”

As soon as Angela heard that, she laughed gleefully. His words were a clear indication that this was his first experience too. Come to think about it, I’ve scored! Hold on. This is my first time too.

“Are you for real? You’re not lying to me, are you?” She lifted her bright-red face and she looked enchanting under the morning glow.

At that moment, Richard felt a flutter in his heart as he ruffled her hair. “I will never lie to you.” His words were firm and sincere.

Angela felt a warm and fuzzy feeling rise up within her as she reached out to cling to his neck. She leaned against his chest at ease. “You’re not allowed to lie to me or leave me, ever. I will be your responsibility for the rest of your life.”

He hugged her tightly and whispered into her ears, “Sure, I will take full responsibility for the rest of your life.”

“Okay! I want to be hugged tightly to sleep by you every night from today onward.” She lifted her head and looked at him with doe eyes, looking innocent yet seductive.

“Sure!” He dropped a kiss on her forehead and noticed that the blanket had slid off her body. There were some reddened marks on her skin and he kissed the spot with a distressed expression.

Angela lowered her head and saw that too as she blushed. “You were so rough last night.”

“I’m sorry,” Richard apologized in a hoarse voice.

“I’m thirsty and I want some water.” Indeed, the spoiled princess could not shake off her habit overnight. Fluttering her eyelashes, she looked at him with indication for him to fetch her some water.

The man smiled in response and stroked her on the nose before getting up. As soon as he rose, his firm and well-toned back was revealed to her.

Angela saw his back and her eyes widened in surprise instantly. Subsequently, she blinked and shifted her eyes guiltily; his back was horrific-looking! It must be some wild cat that did that! She would never admit to inflicting such wounds on him.

Hmm? She recalled the past events and realized that it seemed to have been her own doing. Within split seconds, her face flushed redder than ever. How did I even do that?!

By then, Richard had brought a glass of water over for her and personally held the glass to her mouth. “Get up. Let’s go for breakfast.”

“Are you in a hurry to head home?” asked Angela.

“I’m not.”

“How about staying for another day? I just want to spend some time with you right now.” She refused to give up this chance to be with him. After all, she wanted to give him some sweet memories to recall if he really went off for the mission.

“Sure.” He nodded and agreed.

After breakfast, they took a stroll outside until Angela felt tired again, so they went back into the room to take a nap. She wanted to hug him as she took a nap, but it was then the man’s urges returned.

She was quite a naughty one as well. Despite being well aware that Richard was trying hard to suppress himself, she purposely tried to provoke him. Once again, she was held beneath him as he straddled her. “Umph, Richard, don’t you dare…”

However, her cries of protest were instantly muffled by him and the intimacy level in the air gradually intensified.

“I love you.” Angela heard his hoarse voice confess his love and she beamed widely as she became submerged in the passionate throes.

They stayed by the seaside for three full days and Richard sent her home after their trip at last. Along the way back, she could not help her emotions and stayed silent. She was so happy for the past three days, but after the happy moments, she knew that she had to accept the fact that he was due to leave soon.

She was aware that Richard’s expression had tensed up after the phone call he received, so she knew that he had to depart for his mission soon.

After entering the town area, her heart clenched even tighter as they approached her home. At that moment, the man decided to speak up, “Angela, I’ve got something to tell you.”

Angela heaved a tiny sigh as she thought, Ultimately, he’s going to be forthcoming with me, huh?

“You don’t have to say anything. I know what you’re about to say. You’re about to embark on a dangerous mission.” She lifted her head and glanced at him with a worried expression.

At that moment, Richard was slightly stunned. How did she find out?

“Your mom told me about it. I have no intention of stopping you, but all I want is for you to return in one piece.” She looked at him unwaveringly, yet there was an expectant glimmer in her eyes. “I want you to come back to me safe and sound.”
