Take My Breath Away

Matthew admitted that there were times when he had wanted to take advantage of Erica, but he only felt this way towards her. He didn't like other women. Why did she think he was a lustful man?

He turned over and lay on his side, facing her. His pajama belt accidentally came loose.

Erica stared at the handsome man. She preferred to leave the curtains slightly open at night to let a little light into the bedroom.

In the moonlight, she saw his exposed chest staring back at her.

The girl swallowed and looked straight into his eyes. "Man, are you trying to seduce me?" she asked playfully.

Matthew rolled his eyes. "Are you turned on by my body?" He played along.

"I am," she said in a low voice, and reached out her hand to touch his chest.

Matthew grabbed her unruly hand and warned, "I've already taken too many cold showers. Think twice before you make a move. Don't touch me if you don't want to get laid." Erica didn't realize how attractive she looked to him in the darkness of the night.

"You're so stingy," she said with an awkward smile. 'Fine! I won't touch you!' she thought, taking back her hand.

She rolled to her side of the bed and closed her eyes. Soon after, she fell asleep.

Matthew stared at her, stunned.

'Did she just fall asleep? And right after taunting me once again!' he cursed in his mind as she slept peacefully.

The next day, Matthew left the city on a business trip. Worried that she wouldn't eat properly if left alone, Debbie asked Erica to temporarily move back to the Huo family manor.

While Matthew was away for work, Erica spent most of her time at school. She handed the photo of the starry sky she had taken atop the Fragrance Mountain as her homework, and she received high praise from Professor Feng.

Four days after Matthew had left, Erica received a call from Rhea. "My dearest Erica, where are you now?"

"My dear Rhea, I'm developing a photo at school at the moment." Professor Feng had asked her to develop the photo she had submitted earlier and post it in the column for exceptional works.

"Erica, can you go to the school gate right now? Someone is looking for you."

Puzzled, Erica asked, "What? Who?" She didn't have a common friend with Rhea in Y City, except Hyatt.

"You'll know wh

rilled. "Yes! You're the best, Matthew!" Before making the call, she was worried that Matthew wouldn't agree and that she would have to stay in a hotel with Rhea.

Matthew continued, "But she has to sleep in the guest room on the second floor." There was no way he could allow anyone to sleep in his bed, not even Erica's best friend.

"No problem!" Erica exclaimed happily. She knew that he was a neat freak and she could understand his condition. She had already planned on sleeping with Rhea in the guest room.

Reflecting her good mood, Matthew also smiled. "Why are you so happy?"

"Of course, I'm happy. Rhea and I haven't seen each other in a long time. We are going to hang out together."

"Well, have a nice time. I will reimburse all the expenses when I get back. So, have fun."

She shouted excitedly, "Wow! Are you serious? Matthew, you are amazing. I love you so much!"

Matthew's eyes were full of smile at her words. "Enjoy."

"Bye, Matthew! Take care of yourself."

"I will. You too." He would surely take care of himself. He wanted to live a long life. He wanted to live long and stay by her side forever.

After hanging up, Erica took Rhea and Hyatt to the villa. When she had gotten married to Matthew, Erica was first brought to the Huo family manor. So, Rhea hadn't been to this villa yet.

As she looked around the gorgeous villa, Rhea's mouth formed an "O" and she gawked at the place the whole time. "Oh my God, Erica, you're so lucky to have married Matthew!" she exclaimed.
