MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"We can always come here another time," Joshua whispered in Hazel's ear as he hugged her closer. "Tonight is our wedding night."

Hazel trembled all over. She had been so overwhelmed that she had completely forgotten about it. However, since Joshua had mentioned it, she knew he hadn't forgotten. After all, it was their wedding night, and some things were to be expected.

"Alright..." Hazel said a bit nervously, her heart was racing just thinking about it.

She turned to leave, but she was so excited that she tripped and fell forward. Before she could fall, Joshua reached out and caught her by the waist, he leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Let me carry you." He started to kneel down so that she could climb onto his back.

"No, don't do that," Hazel said, blushing, "I just wasn't watching where I was going. I can walk on my own!"

"So, you would rather me hold you in my arms?" Joshua looked back at her with a vague smile as if he hadn't heard what she had said.

Hazel was speechless. She knew it didn't matter what she had said; Joshua would turn it around. Before she could say anything, Joshua was kneeling on the ground in front of her.

"My wife," he said softly.

Hazel's heart trembled when she heard his words. She was his wife, and she loved hearing him say it. Although it still felt like a dream, she knew she would slowly get used to it.

As they were walking on the trail back to the villa, the trees on each side began to light up. Hazel looked at them carefully and saw they were covered with tiny flashing lights. She smiled with joy as she watched the beautiful scene in front of her while cuddled up to a man who loved her with all of his heart.

Hazel was still on Joshua's back when she heard a loud bang, she looked up, and fireworks lit up the night sky.

"You prepared all this yourself?" Hazel asked happily.

"Yes, it's our wedding night." Joshua beamed with delight. He was willing to do anything to make Hazel happy.

Her heart had been feeling a little down, but now it was filled with joy and happiness. She reached up to kiss his cheek and quietly said, "Joshua, I love it!"

Joshua stiffened up slightly but then continued walking on their way to the villa. He thought he should have explained more to her but then realized there were some things he could teach her in time. 

Back at the villa, the servants had prepared a mouth-watering candlelight dinner. 

The flickering candles, the fragrant food, and the intoxicating smell of the wine made everything perfect.

Joshua knelt down when they got to the table, and Hazel climbed off of his back. He pulled out her chair and kissed her on the head when she sat down.

Hazel picked up the wine glass in front of her, she sniffed and realized it was real red wine.

"Wine?" She looked at Joshua in surprise. He had forbidden her to drink any alcohol because she didn't know how to control herself when she was intoxicated, so she didn't understand why he would give wine.

As if reading her mind, his eyes deepened, and he smiled at her. "You should have a little drink every now and then, especially on special occasions. Wine won't hurt you, it might just give you a little courage."

Hazel's face turned red in an instant. What was he talking about courage? She knew what he was getting at, it was the same reason he was in such a hurry to get a marriage license, and now he was patiently waiting for bedtime.

After taking a deep breath, she put the wine glass down and asked the servants to replace the wine with juice.

"Hazel..." Joshua's expression changed, and he couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't understand why Hazel was acting like she was.

"Joshua, don't get me wrong." She clenched her fist slightly as she looked at him. "I just think, whatever happens, tonight, I hope I…I'm sober." Her voice dropped abruptly when she said the last few words. After all, it was going to be her first time. She may have been bold in some aspects, but she was still shy talking about certain things.

There was a flash of joy in Joshua's eyes, and he smiled, knowing she was already trying to prepare for their first time together.

"I wish the meal was almost over." He said vaguely, his lips curved slightly. 

Hazel's cheeks get red and warm. Even though it had been a long meal with many courses, she was too tense to eat much.

After they were done eating dinner, Joshua walked over and kissed her passionately. He took her hand to help her stand, then lifted her into his arms and walked to the bedroom.

Joshua put her down on the large, soft bed that was covered in rose petals. Hazel laid back and closed her eyes nervously as Joshua climbed on top of her.

All she could think about was everyone saying it was painful for a woman when she has sex for the first time. But, how painful was it, and would Joshua misunderstand if she cried out?

A soft chuckle filled the silence as Joshua reacted to her frightened expression. All of Hazel's fear and nervousness disappeared as she opened her eyes angrily. "What are you laughing at?"

Joshua didn't answer, he just kept grinning evilly at her. "Shall we have a bath together?"

"No, no!" She hurried to shake her head.

Joshua was about to say something when his phone rang. With an unpleasant frown, he took out his phone and was about to shut it off, but Hazel stopped him.

"Answer the phone! What if it's something urgent?" Hazel said quickly.

He reluctantly got up and walked out to the balcony to answer it while Hazel rushed to open her laptop. During dinner, she had sent a text message to Ariel requesting that she send special "sex education" videos. She wanted to have at least some idea of what she should do with Joshua.

She hurried to find the email from Ariel. She immediately downloaded the attachment and clicked on a random video. "Hum, hum, ah, hum…" blasted out of the speaker on her laptop, she turned off the video quickly so she would not get caught. She looked out to the balcony filled with guilt, she hadn't expected it to be so loud, she wondered if Joshua heard it.

But when Hazel looked out to where Joshua had been standing, there was no one there. She suddenly felt Joshua come up behind her and put his arms tightly around her, pressing his body against her back.

"What were you watching?" he asked with a chuckle.

Hazel tensed up and almost began to cry. Was she caught watching pornographic movies while Joshua was on the phone? Why did he feel the need to sneak up on here anyway?
