Feeling out of breath, Roxanne snapped back to her senses and looked upstairs. The kids are upstairs, and they might see us! Roxanne anxiously pushed Lucian away.
Lucian loosened his grip slightly in response.
“Don’t do—" Roxanne’s mouth was invaded once again before she could finish her sentence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvidently, Lucian was merely giving her a second to catch her breath.
At that moment, Roxanne was on the verge of getting lifted from the couch.
As he was moving his hands, Roxanne suddenly felt his hands moving toward her breasts.
Roxanne panicked when she realized what Lucian wanted to do.
She was worried that the kids would catch them in action, and at the same time, she didn’t know how to react to what was about to happen next.
In desperation, she quickly reached out her hand to squeeze Lucian’s tendon on his arm.
Lucian froze immediately.
Roxanne then took the opportunity to shove him away and sat up on the couch. How | wish | can hide behind the couch! Lucian’s eyes darkened instantly, and he shot her a look of dissatisfaction.
“Don't do this. The kids are upstairs. What if they catch us in action?” Roxanne avoided his gaze, flustered. Before this, the kids had already caught us hugging.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucian’s arm was numb, so he had to rest it on the couch. Upon hearing her explanation, he knitted his brows meaningfully and asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you saying that we could've carried on if they weren't around?” Roxanne was about to help him get rid of the discomfort in his arm. After hearing that question, however, she retracted her hands.
Lucian looked at her with his eyes ablaze.
“I'm tired, and | want to go to bed.” Roxanne averted his eyes and rose to her feet anxiously. After taking a few steps away from him, she urged, “It's getting late. You should head home as well!” Lucian moved his arm, and Roxanne instinctively took another few steps backward. She was afraid that he would force himself on her.

Although we both have expressed our feelings toward each other, why has she not accepted me yet? Ever since we reunited, she had always been avoiding me, apart from the time when she was drunk.
Lucian didn’t want to force her into doing anything, so he suppressed his urge and explained in a deep voice, “I'm not going to do anything to you. If you're tired, you can go upstairs and rest. I'll sit for a while more before | leave.” Roxanne was still feeling uneasy. “It's already quite late. Are you sure—" Lucian waved his numb arm at her and said, “Don’t worry. I'm not going to take advantage of you. It's just that my arm is still numb, so | can’t drive.” It seemed as though she had squeezed his arm too hard in that moment of panic.
Feeling guilty, Roxanne pursed her lips and smiled. However, she still didn’t dare to approach him. She merely nodded and said, “I'll head up, then. Let me know when you're leaving.” With that, she dashed off without turning back.
Lucian clenched his fists slightly as he watched Roxanne’s retreating figure. At that moment, he felt as though he could still feel the tenderness of her skin in his palms. | wonder when she will ever let her guard down...
