Chapter 484 Stay Tonight
Winona shoved him away, turned to open the door, and said, "You're still deep in enemy territory, so you need to focus on being a good undercover agent. You've already taken the medicine; now you should be figuring out a way to escape. I can block the medication for you once, but I can't keep doing it."
"You actually dare to take the medicine he gives you? Aren't you worried it'll turn you into a fool?" Winona couldn't shake off her anger. After seeing Timothy's skilled methods today, it was clear this wasn't the first time he had treated Zachary this way. Knowing Timothy wasn't a good person only made her more frustrated at Zachary's willingness to accept the medicine. Yet, deep down, she understood that if there were any other option, Zachary wouldn't willingly put himself in such a dangerous situation.
Winona's hand gripped the doorknob, just about to turn it when Zachary hugged her from behind, his lips brushing against her reluctantly. "Stay tonight, okay?"
His hands gently rested on her abdomen, and Winona breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that she had hurriedly buttoned up her coat earlier to hide her potential pregnancy. He was careful not to apply too much pressure, fearing he might hurt her, so he remained completely unaware that there was anything unusual about her belly.
Faced with Zachary's plea, Winona wrestled with her emotions but decisively shook her head.
It wasn't that she didn't want to stay longer. They had finally reached a point where they could be together without any misunderstandings, and both their minds and bodies craved each other. But given the current situation, who knew if Timothy had someone watching them? The longer they stayed together, the more likely they were to be exposed.
Timothy was suspicious now, but without concrete evidence, he could only remain suspicious.
Winona could avoid seeing him and hide for safety, but Zachary couldn't. So, as long as they hadn't completely fallen out, Zachary was still relatively safe.
To fully dispel Zachary's thoughts, Winona said firmly, "I'm pregnant now, and the baby is still in a delicate stage. I can't engage in any strenuous activities. Who was it that said I was full of inappropriate thoughts earlier? And now look at you—having a physiological reaction to a pregnant woman. Don't you have any shame?"
Hearing that the baby was still in a delicate stage, Zachary felt his inappropriate thoughts fade away completely. He turned Winona around, concern etched on his face, and reached beneath her clothes to touch her belly gently. "What did the doctor say? Is it because you've been overworking yourself?"Winona didn't expect him to try to touch her belly so suddenly. She quickly covered her belly and backed away, afraid that the pillow would fall out and make things awkward. "No, don't touch. Every pregnant woman is like this in the early stages. It'll stabilize after five months."
She hadn't planned on hiding it from Zachary, but seeing how much he was looking forward to the baby, she worried that telling him the truth would hit him too hard. She feared it might make him reluctant to continue with the charade and confront Timothy directly.
She would find a quiet moment to share the truth with him after this phase was over.
Seeing her jump around to avoid him touching her belly, Zachary felt disappointed but had to give up. "Don't move so much. I won't touch."
"Okay." Winona felt so guilty that she didn't dare to look up at him.
Zachary took the opportunity to make a request. "Then let me kiss you again?"
Feeling guilty, Winona didn't wait for him to make the first move this time. She leaned in and kissed his chin. She had intended to kiss his lips, but the room was too dark to see clearly.
After the kiss, she was ready to run, but Zachary had anticipated this and wrapped his arm around her waist, accurately capturing her lips.
Unable to fulfill his desire, Zachary poured all his suppressed passion into the kiss. It had only been a few days since Winona had complained about his poor technique, but he had made significant improvements. Each deep and shallow kiss stirred the hidden desires in Winona's heart.
Winona tilted her head back, resting her neck against the door. Her body felt weak as she leaned into his arms, relying on him to support her and keep her steady.
The man's heavy breathing mixed with the woman's occasional suppressed moans in the quiet, dark room. Their tightly pressed bodies and gradually rising body temperatures were the most effective aphrodisiacs in the world.
The kiss lasted for an unknown amount of time. Zachary stopped just in time before losing control, licking his lips with a lingering desire, his gaze fixed on her lips. Although it was pitch black, he could imagine her lips being moist and red.
He said, "Winona, move back to Regal Oaks."
Winona was currently living in a shabby apartment with no security, which made Zachary uneasy. He wasn't just worried about Timothy but also about Matthew and Austin.
He understood why Winona had moved out before; she didn't want to be constantly reminded of him when his fate was uncertain. But now that Zachary was back, those familiar sights wouldn't make her sad anymore.
Zachary thought it would be an easy, natural thing, but Winona smiled at him and refused, "We'll talk about it later. I have to go now. Be a good undercover agent and don't get exposed."
Seeing his surprised frown, Winona felt a rush of satisfaction. She left with a smile on her lips.
