MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Dylan's face changed, and his stiffened heart finally softened. He turned and picked her up and put her on the bed. He clenched his fist and whispered, "This woman, getting into my nerve,"

As if exhausted, she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

***

The next morning, Savannah awoke to find herself cradled in his warm arms. She opened her eyes wide, stunned for a moment, and then she remembered what she did last night.

Dylan was lying next to her, holding her all night long.

He was so tired last night that he didn't wake up now. His eyes closed, and the hard-line of his face was much softer.

Savannah breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that her behavior last night had softened his heart at last.

The first step worked.

She gently released herself from his arms but accidentally knocked him awake.

Dylan didn't open his eyes. He locked her tightly in his arms and murmured huskily, "where do you want to go?"

As if he was afraid that she would run away again.

"I... I want to go to the washroom." Savannah flushed. It was the second time they had been so close since they met after three years. The first time was on the cruise…

He put his hand on her forehead and knew that her fever had gone. He felt relieved but did not let her go.

His hand moved down her waist, and she could feel his erection against her hips.

Savannah's breathing sped up. Though her main goal now was to make up with him and get him out of Charlotte, she hadn't prepared to sleep with him so soon…

She couldn't remember what they did three years ago, but what he did to her on the cruise not long ago was still clear in her mind... Pictures of that night flashed through her mind and made her flush scarlet.

She closed her eyes shyly when Dylan's fingers slipped through her fine lace…

"Daddy, Mommy... What are you doing?" Kaiden, in his cartoon pajamas, pushed the door in as he rubbed his sleepy eyes.

When he woke up in the morning, Judy told him that his mom came last night. She got sick in the rain and stayed in dad's room for the night. Excited, he jumped out of bed and ran over.

The fire in Dylan's body suddenly went out. He pulled out his fingers with a dark face.

Damn it. Isn't the door locked?

Savannah promptly sat straight with a red face, and her hands tightly held the quit, covering it over her. Her nightdress was messy, and she was too embarrassed to be caught in bed by her son…

Kaiden didn't know why his mommy looked so nervous while his father was so annoyed. He looked at the quit quizzically and jogged over to pull it. What were they doing behind his back?

Dylan reacted and quickly grabbed Kaiden by the hand. He got off the bed and pulled his son to the door.

"Go to your own room!" Dylan snapped in a low voice and shut the door.

Savannah hurriedly jumped out of bed and, before he turned around to the bed, she rushed into the washroom and closed the door. Standing in front of the mirror, she patted her face with cold water and gradually calmed down.

After washing and combing her hair, she saw her clothes hanging in the bathroom. Judy washed them and dried them last night. She changed into her clothes and went out.

Dylan was sitting on the sofa, looking at her thoughtfully. The night-robe loosened, and his chest was naked, very eye-catching. The underpants also showed under the robe.

"I'm gonna go." She withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes.

Enough for today.

It would arouse suspicion if she went too far.

"Wait a minute," Dylan stopped her in a low voice.

He got up, took out a suit from the closet, and went into the washroom. When he came out, he got washed and properly dressed. Then he took her hand and led her down the stairs.

Savannah was surprised but didn't ask anything until he took her into his car and drove off.

"Where're we going?" She broke the silence nervously. She thought he would send her home, but they were not on the way to her apartment.

"Are you afraid of being abducted?" Dylan turned his head and glanced at her with a crooked smile.

It's not funny. Savannah pursed her lips.

A moment later, the car pulled up in front of a white building.

The hospital?

Before Savannah could recover, Dylan got out of the car and took her out by the hand, walking to the hospital.

"Hey, what're you doing? My fever is over. There's no need to come to the hospital." Savannah gasped as she followed him.

"You need a check-up."

"Check-up?" She was stunned.

"You catch a cold now and then. Let's see if there's something wrong with your body," Dylan looked ahead.

The little woman wasn't so weak when she was with him three years ago. But when she came back after three years, she was in poor physical condition, and he wondered how she took care of herself in Italy.

A young man, dressed as a doctor, was waiting in the front of the corridor. His clear eyes brightened when he saw Savannah. He came to them in a hurry and laid his hands on Savannah's shoulder, slightly excited.

"Savannah, long time no see!"

"Behave yourself." Dylan shook the doctor's hand, coolly.

Jacob grinned and looked expectantly at Savannah, "remember me?"

"Sorry, I don't remember very well..." Savannah had a vague impression of the man in front of her, but she couldn't say his name.

"I'm Jacob, Dylan's old friend. I treated you three years ago. You should know me." Although Dylan had mentioned Savannah's memory loss, Jacob still felt a little upset.

"I'm sorry, I really can't remember," Savannah whispered and quickly hung down her head. 

"How can she remember you when she doesn't even remember me?" Dylan gave Jacob a disapproving look.
