Chapter 171 Scared Stiff
Bella felt a bit unwell, but she knew Sterling's company was busy, so she didn't want to disturb him.
She thought about calling him to ask when he'd be back, but her phone was dead. She had no choice but to go upstairs to charge it.
As soon as Bella sat on the bed, Sunny jumped into her arms.
Bella smiled sweetly and hugged Sunny, saying, "Why are you on the bed? If Sterling finds out, he'll scold you. Go out now."
Bella carried Sunny to the door and placed it in its little bed before turning to take a shower.
Sunny, feeling temporarily abandoned, looked pitiful, making Bella's heart soften.
When she came out of the shower, she found Sunny sleeping at the foot of her bed.
Bella was amused and puzzled about how Sunny had opened the door, but she didn't have the heart to wake it. She decided to move Sunny before Sterling came back.
Bella lay on the bed and sent Sterling a message asking when he'd be back.
Unsurprisingly, there was no reply, and Bella didn't pay much attention to it. She chatted with Anna for a bit and fell asleep without realizing it.
In the middle of the night, Bella didn't know when Sterling came back. She only felt her body being lifted when he got into bed.
She opened her sleepy eyes and said, "Sterling, you're back?"
Sterling kissed her forehead and said, "Did you fall asleep waiting for me?"
Bella nodded softly and said, "Yes, I was too tired and couldn't stay awake."
Sterling chuckled silently and said nothing, just lay down and turned to hold Bella in his arms.
Sterling was already very tired and just wanted to sleep comfortably with Bella. But for some reason, holding Bella made him feel hot all over.
Bella was wearing a camisole nightgown, which had ridden up to her waist. His hands roamed and kneaded her waist, making Bella feel weak all over.
Bella accidentally let out a soft moan, "Be gentle."
That soft moan completely ignited Sterling's desire. He grabbed Bella's waist and flipped her under him.
Bella, too tired to resist, pushed him and said, "Not tonight, let's sleep."
But Sterling couldn't listen to her. Even though he was exhausted from a busy day, he couldn't resist Bella.
He leaned down and sealed Bella's lips with his own.
Just as he was getting into it and reached the edge of Bella's panties, a pitiful meow suddenly sounded.
Sterling froze, and Bella woke up instantly. They saw Sunny standing next to them, its blue eyes shining sharply, staring at them.
Sterling almost lost his composure, and Bella quickly pushed him away, saying, "I'm sorry. I came back late and didn't take care of Sunny. Sunny slept on the bed, and I forgot to move it. I'll take it out now. It's okay, you go to sleep."
Sterling was already annoyed. He was sensitive to furry animals, and now being watched by Sunny during an intimate moment made him feel terrible.
Bella quickly carried Sunny to the door.
When she returned, Sterling was lying on the bed, looking a bit withdrawn. Bella wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Bella approached softly and said, "Are you okay? I'm sorry, it was my fault. I won't let Sunny in again."
Sterling's body relaxed immediately. He pulled Bella onto the bed and held her tightly, saying fiercely, "If you let it in again, I'll have Zoey make soup out of it."
Bella was unhappy hearing this but didn't argue.
After Sunny's interruption, Sterling lost his mood, but Bella felt uncomfortable.
Bella's hand slowly slipped under his pajama top, feeling his abs, then his chest, and finally his neck.
Sterling grabbed her wandering hand and said, "Are you still trying to tease me? That cat almost scared me to death. Do you know the consequences?"
Bella almost laughed and said, "Don't hold a grudge against a cat."
Sterling, exasperated, gave Bella a rough squeeze and held her tightly, saying, "Sleep."
Bella knew he was tired, so she didn't say anything more. She just reminded him, "Don't be so hasty next time."
Sterling suddenly slapped her butt and said, "If I get scared to death, what will happen to your happy life?"
Bella blushed and covered his mouth, afraid he'd say something more embarrassing, "Stop talking, sleep."
In the morning, Bella and Sterling woke up almost simultaneously, with Bella still in Sterling's arms.
Bella smiled and said, "Good morning, I need to go to work. Let me go."
Sterling, sensitive in the morning and still feeling the effects of last night's interruption, decided to make up for it.
Sterling glanced at his phone and said, "It's still early."
Ignoring Bella's exclamation, Sterling flipped her over.
His morning desire was no less than at night, so when he kissed her, Bella didn't expect him to be so intense so early in the day, as if he hadn't seen a woman in ages.
Bella, unable to keep up, pushed him and said, "I really need to go to work. I have things to do today."
Sterling ignored her pleas and said hoarsely, "No, we didn't finish last night. You need to help me now."
Bella, feeling helpless under his insistence, spent the morning making love with Sterling in a dazed state.
By the time she went downstairs, her legs were trembling. She shot Sterling a fierce glare.
Sterling, looking refreshed and completely different from his bed persona, put on his clothes. She glared at him again before they went to have breakfast together.
Sterling dropped her off at the company and told her he'd pick her up in the evening before speeding off.
Sterling was also racing against time. The morning's antics had already delayed him.
Bella watched his car speed away, amused. He was in such a hurry but still insisted on fooling around with her.
But Sterling's thoughtfulness was enough for Bella. Whether as a family member or a lover, Sterling had changed a lot.
When Bella arrived at the company, she felt the atmosphere was even more tense than yesterday.
As soon as she sat down, a colleague whispered, "Mr. Hughes is looking for you. He wants you to go to his office immediately after you arrive."
