Chapter 12 The towel around his waist flew off
Carefully opening her eyes, she met Joseph's icy gaze. "I'm sorry!" Cassie tried to get up, but her position was awkward as she still lay on Joseph's firm chest.
"Cassie, you're putting moves on me," Joseph said coldly.
Cassie was at a loss, "I didn't mean to. The carpet tripped me."
"I walk on this carpet every day and never trip. Your excuse is so poor it's laughable." He didn't believe her at all.
Cassie blinked innocently, "Maybe after admiring your perfect physique just now, my mind was a bit scattered, and I lost focus."
Joseph chuckled. "So now it's my fault?"
"No, it's mine. I just haven't seen much of the world," Cassie explained, still lying on him.
Her soft body pressed against his strong male parts, triggering an undeniable primal urge in Joseph, evident in his physical response. But he wasn't going to let the cunning Cassie have her way so easily.
Through gritted teeth, he commanded, "Get off me!"
The heat and hardness on his thigh made her face instantly blush. Flustered, she scrambled to get up, accidentally pulling off Joseph's towel in the process. His firm and powerful thighs and the exposed penis were now in full view.
Cassie froze, her breath caught in her throat.
In shock, she watched Joseph stand up and walk toward her, forcing her to back up against the bedroom wall.
He placed one hand on the wall, blocking her escape.
Feeling the danger emanating from him, Cassie panicked and stammered, "Joseph, please calm down."
"Don't worry. I'm very calm," Joseph said with a sarcastic smile, pinning her down and grabbing her chin, his forehead touching hers. "Since you've made a move on me, I should satisfy you."
Cassie's eyes widened. She pushed Joseph away with all her strength and ran out. After what had just happened, she didn't dare stay in the living room and quickly returned to her room.
However, she couldn't calm down, feeling a flutter in her stomach.
She didn't know how long she had been in a daze when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
She jumped up immediately and, after several seconds, weakly said, "Can we talk about this tomorrow? I'm already asleep."
"Don't make me use the key to open the door," Joseph's cold voice came through.
Cassie, frustrated, ruffled her hair and got up to open the door.
Joseph stood at the door, looking down at her. The thin cotton nightgown revealed a hint of her neckline.
His intense gaze made Cassie feel embarrassed. She looked down and instinctively covered herself with her hands.
Joseph sneered. "Show me how you put the moves on me."
Cassie was speechless. She admitted she had tried before, but she really hadn't intended to just now.
"I didn't," she pouted, her bare face looking clean and beautiful.
Joseph withdrew his gaze, his perfectly chiseled face returning to its cold demeanor. "I'll give you money to rent a place outside. It's not suitable for us to live together."
He was clearly trying to kick her out.
Cassie panicked upon hearing this. "Why? We have a marriage certificate; it's legal and proper."
Joseph sneered. "So even if we have sex, it's okay?"
Hearing this, Cassie gave him a charming smile, showing a bit of shyness. "I fell in love with you at first sight. My body and soul are yours."
