Chapter 0018
It seemed like Alexander was determined to pull me from try thoughts; and, in a way, I was thankful for it. No doubt I could have spent the next hour alone simply trying to understand how any of it was possible.
Nevertheless, I snagged the blanket off the far end of the bed and quickly draped it over his lower half.
It was then that I noticed the deep sean that ran down the center of the large mattress. My eyebrows drew together in confusion. When I had first been brought through here to join Alexander in the bath, I noticed that this particular room had two beds.
They were the kind of beds that could be pushed together when necessary for certain intimate acts.
Like how they’re situated right now.
I couldn’t help the light shade of pink that touched my cheeks. Alexander easily caught on to my shift in demeanor.
“There’s no need to feel uncomfortable,” he said. “Even though it is technically our wedding night, Nina believes it would be a ‘bad omen‘ if we were to sleep in separate beds. And I wasn’t planning on doing anything with you.”
“Oh.”
I didn’t know why part of me felt a little disappointed by that notion. Hell, if anything, I should have been relieved. Husband or not, I didn’t know Alexander well enough to feel okay going that far with him.
At least…Not yet.
1 rounded the bed and climbed onto the mattress, allowing my body to sink into the sheets. I was a little uneasy at first. But as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt the heavy weight of sleep pull me under. From that point on, my breathing gradually deepened.
[Third–Person POVI
In all honesty, Alexander had been downright startled earlier. He had absolutely no idea that Evelyn would have returned back to his room so quickly, or at all for that matter.
He hadn’t forgotten their earlier conversation–seeing the raw emotion in her eyes still left him feeling bothered and mildly regretful.
He truly believed that the trials were necessary. What he hadn’t counted on was Evelyn having the know–how to figure them out so swiftly.
And in the end, she was still willing to stay beside me and promised to keep to herself.
As Evelyn fell into a deeper sleep, Alexander chose to remain awake for a time. While he was propped up, he decided to grab the book off his nightstand and read for a little while.
Every few pages, he caught himself glancing next to him to watch her. The corner of his mouth slowly curved upward with curious intrigue. As time passed, Evelyn began tossing and turning in her sleep. Her dreams were making her restless and before he knew what to do, the young woman had wrapped herself around him.
Alexander went completely stiff as her whole front was buried into his side. He didn’t dare try to wake her.
It didn’t take long for his mind to wander back to when the two of them were in the bathroom together. It was all quite amusing and rather deceiving of him in a way. Apart from putting her through that one trial, Alexander was genuinely curious as to what his new wife looked like underneath her clothing.
She was hesitant and bashful.

Absolutely beautiful.
He recalled the gentle yet firm touch of her hands on his back. Her warm and steady breath hitting his skin….The innocent mistake of her fingers grazing against the growing hardness of his cock.
Alexander muffled a groan as Evelyn’s hands unconsciously pawed at ils lower abdomen as she slept. It was by no means difficult for him to desire her.
The woman was hardly doing anything and parts of him were already stirring to life. He had to get a grip or else.
Too late…I’m already aroused.
“Fuck,” he whispered to himself.
