Chapter 191
Back in the room, Michael pulled Nora in front of him and kissed her.
He bit her as payback, wanting Nora to learn her lesson, "From now on, think twice before doing dangerous things. You have a family, you have kids."
Her lip was bitten and bleeding. Nora's eyes welled up with tears from the pain.
Turns out, biting your own lip and having someone else bite it are two completely different kinds of pain.
"Did you learn your lesson?" Michael asked.
Nora nodded with red-rimmed eyes.
"My wound hurts." Michael leaned his whole body against Nora's shoulder.
Nora got really nervous, "Take a shower first, I'll contact the resort doctor to come treat it."
Michael took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined back with clear muscle lines forming a natural, smooth V-shape.
"Help me check it." Michael was deliberately teasing Nora.
Thinking about how those two Fields brothers were flirting with Nora earlier made him annoyed.
"Looks like it stopped bleeding." Nora glanced at it with a red face, her heart racing.
Michael raised an eyebrow, "Stopped bleeding?"
Nora nodded. Actually the injury wasn't serious, just some scraped skin.
"It hurts." Michael's acting was on point, "Can't lift my arm."
Nora looked at Michael nervously, "I'll help you wash."
Michael had been waiting for Nora to say that. He pulled her straight into the bathroom and pressed her against the door.
Only then did Nora realize she'd been tricked.
Her ears turned even redder as she stammered, "Just, just shower, only shower."
"Just shower, nothing else." Michael's lips curved up. As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her.
Nora didn't dare breathe and almost suffocated herself.
He said nothing else.
"You lied."
"Nothing else." The smile on Michael's lips remained deep, like an adult fox seducing a timid little rabbit.
The little rabbit turned red all over as her swimsuit was easily stripped off completely.
"You said you'd help me shower." Michael turned on the shower, rinsing the sand off Nora's body.
He could totally just take what he wanted—after all, Nora needed him now, needed to stay by his side.
But he still pretended to ask for Nora's consent.
Her body trembled slightly. Nora leaned nervously against the wall, her breathing tight.
Michael washing her was too seductive.
The bathroom temperature kept rising. Nora felt her head getting fuzzy.
"Let me help you." She quickly grabbed the showerhead and helped Michael rinse the mud and sand off his back, trying to avoid the wound.
Michael faced away from Nora, hands against the wall, his back profile enviably attractive.
Nora reached out almost unconsciously to touch his muscles and lines.
"You can be a bit bolder." Michael's lips curved up as he grabbed Nora's hand, making her wrap her arms around him from behind.
Nora's heart raced as she stammered with a crying tone, "You, you're going too, too far."
"I belong to you, what's too far about it." Michael stopped teasing Nora and turned to kiss her again.
Nora felt dizzy, her mind going blank from Michael's seduction.
She didn't know how long she cried out, only that her soaked hair was almost dry by the time Michael finally held her, rinsed her clean, wrapped her in a towel and carried her out.
"I'll rinse off again, you rest well. Have the staff bring over whatever you want to eat." Michael felt his desire had been a bit much lately.
They'd just finished and he wanted to tease her again.
Afraid of scaring her away, Michael could only go take a cold shower alone.
Nora hid in bed, burrowed under the covers, rolling around with her face covered.
Too explicit.
How could Michael's body be so good?
He's so good-looking, what a waste not being in entertainment.
Even the top stars in Michael's entertainment company weren't as good-looking as Michael.
No wonder so many women were crazy about him.
Her phone rang.
Nora blushed as she reached for her phone. It was a message from Savannah.
She'd already arrived in Emerald City and rented a place.
"You're on a business trip with Mr. Smith?" Savannah sent a cheeky emoji.
Nora sent back an emoji too.
"Sharing a room with Mr. Smith?" Savannah added another emoji.
Nora felt a bit embarrassed, but she absolutely trusted Savannah, "Yes."
"Did you guys do anything?"
"Yes." Nora blushed.
"If you want to please Michael, you need to know how to seduce him. You're too introverted, you can't hook a man like that." Savannah was worried sick about Nora, "I'll teach you."
Nora's ears turned red. She didn't dare speak.
Soon after, Savannah sent several tutorial videos.
Nora opened one and got so scared she threw her phone away.
Michael had just come out of the bathroom and saw Nora sitting on the bed with a red face, throwing her phone.
"Phone too hot?" Michael wanted to laugh as he reached to pick up the phone from the floor.
"Don't!" Nora panicked and jumped out of bed, regretting it and trying to grab the phone.
But it was too late.
Michael picked up the phone and accidentally opened the tutorial video.
The air suddenly went quiet.
Nora's heart pounded wildly as she looked at Michael nervously.
"Mr. Smith..."
Michael narrowed his eyes, watching the tutorial seriously, "Am I not seductive enough?"
"No..." Nora waved her hands frantically, "Just studying..."
Nora wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Savannah was really doing her dirty.
"Think my technique is bad?" Michael looked like he understood, "Let me study too."
"It's not bad." Nora was about to cry from embarrassment. Too humiliating.
Michael moved closer to Nora.
Nora backed away in fear.
He'd just been thinking about holding back a bit, afraid of scaring Nora away.
Now it seemed Nora could handle quite a lot, "I learned it, want to practice?"
Nora's ears burned, "No."
"You make me study but won't let me practice—what kind of teacher is that?" Michael picked up Nora unsatisfied, making her wrap around his waist.
Nora was afraid of falling and held onto Michael tightly, "No."
"I say yes means yes. Come on, let's practice the first set of moves."
Michael counted—Savannah had sent Nora six tutorial videos total.
He bit and kissed Nora's ear, his voice extremely seductive, "Let's practice each one tonight and write a practice report tomorrow."
Nora looked at Michael in panic, wanting to run, but Michael grabbed her waist and kissed her.
They went at it who knows how many times that night. Nora cried until her voice was hoarse and her eyes swollen.
"Michael, you're too much." She fell asleep in a daze, restless even in sleep.
The next afternoon, the first thing Michael did when he woke up was pull her into his arms and kiss her forehead.
Nora got scared and struggled to speak, "No, no, we're out of those."
They'd used up all the condoms.
She felt like she was going to die.
Suddenly, there was urgent doorbell ringing outside, along with a child's urgent voice, "Mommy! Open the door! I know you're in there."
Michael's face instantly darkened. It was that kid from the Fields family.
