Chapter 354
Halfway through, Curtis froze.
Every muscle in his body tensed, like an arrow drawn on a taut bow, yet he hesitated, remembering his promise to her. “Will you blame me again when you wake up tomorrow?”
The tipsy Leanne gazed at him, her eyes blurry and unwittingly seductive.
Cursing under his breath, Curtis clenched his teeth and withdrew his hand from behind her, tucking her into the bed with the blanket.
He sat on the bed edge, elbows on his knees, hands supporting his forehead as he tried to calm the tumultuous impulses racing through his veins.
Behind him, the blanket stirred, and not understanding why those comforting hands had suddenly left, Leanne poked her head out from under the blanket.
“Curtis…”
Curtis stiffened, turned his head, and saw her flushed face and bewildered expression.
Swallowing hard, he sighed in resignation, dug her restless body out from under the blanket, and resigned himself to tending to her needs.
She clung to his arm, unsure whether to refuse or welcome his touch. Curtis teased her, “Feels good?”
Leanne’s voice broke. “Yeah…”
Amused, Curtis prodded further. “Do you love me, Leanne?”
She murmured, “I…”
“Wrong answer,” Curtis frowned, his fingers chastising her gently.
It wasn’t until she squirmed and moaned again that he was satisfied, seizing the opportunity to tease further. “Am I your husband?”
“Yes.”
Curtis paused, and then a wave of bliss overwhelmed him like a tsunami.
He gripped her head and kissed her passionately, leaving her breathless and gasping for
air
After the rush of blood had subsided, Leanne fell into a deep sleep. Curtis cleaned her and cradled her soft body in his arms, kissing her tenderly.
“Leanne, I must have owed you big time in a past life.”

Chapter 354
Leanne slept as if in a coma, and when she awoke, disoriented in bed, it took her a moment to reconnect with her physical senses.
She recalled drinking heavily with Joy the night before, and bits of memory about Curtis picking her
up
surfaced.
With him not around, Leanne got out of bed to shower and noticed his dark trousers in the
bathroom.
Flashes of the previous night flickered in her mind. Her fingers twitched a bit as she went to grab a towel.
Her face flushed slowly, like a shrimp cooked in simmering water.
Curtis entered, the bed disheveled. Approaching the bathroom door, he saw her staring at his dirty trousers from the night before.
“Admiring your trophy?” His sudden voice startled her flustered thoughts. Leanne regained her composure and turned to see him standing at the bathroom door, a half-smile on his lips.
Her face burned, and under overwhelming embarrassment, she pretended not to understand his teasing.
“I need to shower.” she said.
Curtis hummed an acknowledgment, leaning against the door frame. “Go ahead.”
After a brief pause, Leanne insisted, “You need to leave.”
His eyes twinkled with mischief, his tone faux-serious. “After all the hard yards I put night, don’t I deserve a treat?”
Her face turned redder, and she pursed her lips, pushing him out.
As Curtis let her push him away, he teased, “We’ve seen it all. What’s there to be shy about?”
“Have you seen my eye roll?” Leanne pushed him out of the bathroom, quickly shut the door behind him, and locked it.
Hearing the crisp sound of the lock, Curtis chuckled.
