Chapter 777 Just Hug You For A While
Following Lucian’s remark, a wealth of irony suffused Roxanne. She lifted a hand and pressed it against his chest. “Thank you for the kind gesture, Mr. Farwell. But I’m afraid you’ll never have that chance.”
After saying that, she exerted force, hoping to break free from his embrace and get to her feet. To her surprise, Lucian actually dropped his arm around her.
Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to stand up, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist and yanked her toward the couch hard.
“Ahh!” she instinctively exclaimed at Lucian’s unexpected action. In the next second, she fell right onto his lap. Lucian supported her waist firmly with a hand, helping to steady her.
Roxanne gaped at the man beside her in astonishment. Despite feeling a tad irate, she stated in feigned calmness, “Thank you for steadying me, Mr. Farwell. You may now let go of me.”
Having said that, she reached out to find a fulcrum to regain her feet.
Unexpectedly, Lucian hugged her even tighter. All she could reach were his thighs and abs.
She groped around before she finally found the fulcrum. Just as she was going to stand up, a sensual moan sounded beside her ear.
“Stay still.” Lucian’s voice was tinged with a trace of hoarseness.
Hearing that, Roxanne clenched her fingers on reflex. Consequently, the hand around her waist tightened as well.
As she belatedly realized where she had placed her hand and cast her mind back to the man’s reaction earlier, her face instantly flushed bright red. She panickily retracted her hand. “I didn’t mean to do that!”
In response, Lucian gave a bark of low laughter. “I wish you meant to do that.”
At that remark, the blush on Roxanne’s face gradually spread.
If the lights were turned on, one would be able to see a faint splotch of pink staining even her chest.
“Let go of me.” Roxanne started struggling furiously after stilling for a few seconds.
Alas, the man’s grip on her was truly too tight. Furthermore, the children’s room was just at the side, so they would inevitably wake the children up if they made too much noise.
Since she was bogged down with too many concerns, her struggles were pitifully weak.
In fact, she grew all the closer to the man the more she struggled.
Lucian didn’t do anything, merely watching enigmatically as she gradually drew close to him.
That aside, mirth bubbled within him at the sight of her erratic struggles.
“Have you had enough? The kids are still sleeping in the room! What if they were to witness this scene?” Roxanne was both anxious and irritated when she failed to break free even after struggling for an eternity.
Upon hearing that, Lucian followed her gaze and took a gander at the children’s room.
To this very moment, she’s still foolishly concerned about their opinion. Little does she know that the trio has long since betrayed her. If they were to witness this scene, they’d probably be even happier than me!
Roxanne was racking her brain for a way to get out of the situation when she abruptly sensed the man burying his head in the crook of her neck before chortling softly.
As his warm breath brushed her neck, it triggered an itchy sensation. She shuddered sensitively.
Before she could figure out the reason for his laughter, the hard object beneath her snagged her attention.
She promptly stiffened. “Let go of me, Lucian…”
Tightening his arms around her, Lucian urged in a hoarse voice, “Stay still. I’ll just hug you for a while.”
I’ve waited for her for six whole years. And now, I’ve finally got her in my arms. Although I’ve done my best to restrain myself, my body still inexorably reacted to the stimuli. Besides, I don’t want to keep her in the dark about my desire for her.
