LOGINJULIAN Only when Xavier's finger thrust into my space did I understand what he meant by using something else. Displeasure rose in my chest, but it was soon dispersed by another sharp thrust. A moan tore through my throat. Though the pleasure wasn't as addictive as the one I'd been tasting before, it was still better than nothing. His fingers seemed to easily find the itching spot, and he relieved them all. My breathing slowly turned ragged. Tears fell from my eyes as my lips parted, begging for more. Xavier chuckled, but his movement remained steady. "We can't risk the child. We can only do this much." He explained in a coaxing tone. I nodded, understanding him. "Then, add a finger more," I ordered. Xavier nodded and did as told. With that, the pleasure skyrocketed, and I moaned shamelessly until I was out of breath. Xavier removed his fingers, and I lay limply in bed, unable to muster any strength to beg for more. His warm fingers wiped the sweat off my forehead, and h
JULIANXavier's face paled as he rushed forward. He picked a few wipes and quickly cleaned my nose, mouth, and chin. "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?" He asked, his tone panicky. I was in a daze. I nodded. "Yes. Uncomfortable." I really felt that way. How could he affect me so much? How could he come out of the bathroom that way? He knew how much I love his figure... right?Xavier's jaw clenched. He grabbed my hand and squeezed gently. "Wait here for me. I will grab your medicine, and we can immediately go back to the hospital." My eyes widened, and I immediately grabbed his hand, stopping him from leaving. Those bitter medicines? Who wanted them?"I..." My lips parted, but how was I supposed to explain?"The thing is..." I stuttered, unable to come up with a good explanation. Xavier frowned. He crouched before me and placed his hand on my lap. "Tell me, Julian. I know how exhausted you are at the moment, and trust me, I can understand." He sighed. "So, I will..." I
JULIANAfter sorting things out with Abel and arranging my schedule for the shooting, he stood up and left. I sat alone in the sitting room, my eyes closed and head resting on the couch. A low sigh escaped my lips. Using the pregnancy to pin Xavier with me sounded like something that was indeed possible. But what were my feelings toward him?He was once just a handsome alpha with excellent bed skills. Then, he became a contract marriage partner... someone I'd expected to leave in a few weeks. But now, what were my feelings toward him?I rubbed my temple wearily. "Julian?"Xavier's deep voice rang in my ears, and I opened my eyes. I saw him standing before me. I was so lost in thought that I didn't even notice his presence until he called. Seeing that handsome face before me, I felt my heart beating faster.My lips twitched, and then it dawned on me___ What I loved was Xavier's good looks and maybe his bed skills? No, not maybe. I definitely loved his bed skills. Wasn't that wh
JULIAN Only after my mother left and Xavier retired to his study for work did Abel finally cheer up. He took my hand, tugged me toward the sitting room, and beamed brightly. "So, you decided to keep the baby?" His tone wasn't low at all. It was as if he had forgotten that the person he was so scared of was still at home. My lips twitched. "Yes," I replied, rubbing my belly. Abel blinked. He lowered his eyes to my belly and stretched his hand but soon returned it. He looked at me and his lips pressed into a thin line. "Can I touch it?" He asked. I could tell he was shy. I chuckled. "You can. But you need to remember that it's only about three weeks old." I reminded him. After spending almost a week in the hospital, the pregnancy was already almost three weeks old. Abel nodded. "I know. It's just that it's my first time getting so close to a pregnant person." He said as he slowly touched my belly. His movement was extremely gentle, like he was scared of hurting the baby. I f
JULIAN My mother held my hand and helped me up from the seat. I walked toward the dining room where the food had been arranged and had a seat. Perceiving the pleasant aroma of the dinner made by my mother and Xavier, I found my mouth almost watering. I had to swallow to stop myself from encountering another embarrassment. Xavier dutifully served food on my plate and without wasting time... no, I couldn’t even waste time as my stomach was already growling. I began eating. "Thank you," I said, chewing. "It's okay. Xavier did almost everything." My mother replied, waving her hand dismissively. After pushing away the third plate, I felt like something was wrong with me. It was like there was a void in my belly that kept taking the food, and only after eating the third time did I feel a bit comfortable. I raised a brow at my mother, who had long finished eating and was only staring at me. "Do you think I've turned into a pig?" I asked, blinking hard. As an artist, the first thi
JULIAN After settling things in the hospital and getting instructions on how to protect the pregnancy, Xavier and I returned to our matrimonial home. My mum followed along. Even though I had tried to convince her otherwise, she was so stubborn that she wouldn't listen. Getting home, Xavier and my mother packed our things into the house while I watched from the side. "Go inside first," Xavier said in a gentle tone. My lips pursed. "I can help, too." I'd tried to help when I got down from the car, but they both stopped me. Why were they treating me like a child?Xavier approached and ruffled my hair. "Go inside, okay? Be good." He mumbled and kissed my forehead. My tongue grazed the corners of my mouth, trying to hold back my smile, but I could tell my ears would be red already.I nodded shyly, turned around, and hopped into the house. "Walk." My mother's voice came from behind, and my steps faltered. I froze for a moment. Wait, did my mother see us earlier????My neck grew s
