It was unknown if it was because the temperature of the hot water in the bathtub was too high or because Byron Mcdaniel was getting closer and closer.
Maeve Reese felt her skin heating up. Heat coursed through her body, and the uncontrollable tension made her forget to
move.
When his kiss landed, Maeve Reese’s almost frozen heartbeat suddenly trembled and then jumped heavily.
It was more intense than ever before.
Nobody knew when Byron Mcdaniel’s hand had slipped to the back of her neck. He held her tight and pulled her in. A blazing kiss started from the corner of her lips and made its way down to her slender neck and collarbone one by one, zeroing in on her most ticklish spots.
Maeve Reese’s skin was as white as snow, especially the bit on her chest. It was so fair it was like a magnet, and it was as soft as a babbling brook.
In just a moment, a whole bunch of hickeys popped up on her chest. They were super tantalizing.
It was also right then that Maeve Reese remembered she was sitting buck naked in the tub. She was like a fish all cleaned and ready to be fried.
They were all waiting to be eaten.
She was a little better because Byron Mcdaniel looked like he would eat her more gently.
Splash!
A good chunk of the water in the tub spilled over the edge, making the water all choppy.
Maeve Reese opened her hazy eyes and couldn’t fight off Byron Mcdaniel’s ever more intense kisses. She looped her arms around his neck and without thinking, slid her slender fingers into his short black hair.
She wanted to push him away, but under his repeated attacks, she involuntarily leaned forward, as if she had taken the initiative to send herself into his mouth.
She wanted to say something, but her voice got stuck in her throat and turned into a wave of heat that spread through her whole body.
“What do you want to say?” Byron Mcdaniel could tell what she was holding back. He planted a few smooches on the side of her neck and asked in a raspy voice.
Hearing his question, Maeve Reese couldn’t take it no more. She unconsciously leaned in close to his ear and moaned softly, “Can you stop dragging your feet?”
It was so slow that she felt uncomfortable.
As soon as he said this, the desire in Byron Mcdaniel’s dark eyes erupted like a volcano.
At first, he was worried about coming on too strong and scaring her off, making her think he only saw her as a one–night stand. That’s why he was holding back and trying to be as gentle as possible.
But she was good.
With just one sentence, all his restraint collapsed.

“Gotcha.” Byron Medaniel lifted his head and kissed Maeve Reese’s red lips. He chuckled all husky. “Don’t come crying later.
After they were done in the bathroom, the steam started to clear and the water in the tub went down, trickling down the walls and glass.
The shower stopped hissing. Byron Mcdaniel scooped up the worn–out and sleepy Maeve Reese. He wrapped her in a clean robe and carried her outta the bathroom.
Byron Mcdaniel put her on the bed, untied her bathrobe, wiped the water off her body, and helped her change into her own pajamas.
Maeve Reese was still not completely asleep. When he felt his movements, he immediately wanted to hide under the blanket shyly.
“Don’t move.” Byron Mcdaniel restrained her slender legs. His dark eyes darkened slightly, but he did not do anything else. He only helped her change into her pajamas.
Maeve Reese’s face was buried in the pillow, and his ears were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed. She didn’t dare peek at his expression.
Looking back, she thought it was nuts.
She must’ve been out of her mind to be so into it with him in the bathroom.
Byron caught sight of the redness on her ears. His thin lips curved up as he tucked her under the blanket and climbed in next to her.
“What’s on your mind now?” He reached out and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her forehead as he asked. “Nothing.” Maeve’s voice was still a bit raspy. Her back was pressed against his warm chest, and her body, which had finally cooled down, started heating up again.
Byron let out a soft chuckle and said with a wink, “You still think I’m just using you for a hookup?”
Maeve squeezed her eyes shut. She was so mortified she could die. “Who knows? You could be thinking anything.”
She could only blame herself for being such a pushover. She was so easily won over by him and went along with everything even after he’d had his way with her.
What was the difference between this and serving food and volunteering to do the dishes?
“Oook.”
yron Mcdaniel clicked his tongue. He narrowed his dark eyes and slid his palm under her shirt. “Oh, really? Why don’t we keep going?”
Maeve Reese, whose back was killing her, quickly grabbed his hand. “No, no! I’m tired and want to sleep!”
She didn’t want to embarrass herself tomorrow.
“What you said hurt my feelings.” Byron Mcdaniel casually twirled a strand of her hair and made a serious request. “Give me some payback and I’ll let you sleep.”
Maeve had never met such a cheeky guy. He was so shameless just for a little something.
But compared to staying up all night, she could handle just about anything.

This was how a person’s bottom line was pulled down step by step.
Maeve Reese wriggled around in his arms and pinned his arm with one hand. She tilted her head up and planted a kiss on his lips.
“Is this good enough?” Maeve pretended to be tough, like she was ready to take him down with her.
How could she be so cute?
Byron Mcdaniel could not help but laugh. He lowered his head and kissed her slightly fragrant red lips. He kissed her passionately for a long time before letting go of her.
Maeve Reese panted heavily and glared at him as if he wanted to eat him up.
“Go to sleep.” Byron stroked the back of her head and pulled her into his arms.
Maeve Reese opened his mouth. In the end, he just let out a small grunt and closed his eyes.
After a while, Maeve Reese could not take it anymore. “Can you put that thing away? You planning to off me in my sleep?”
“You’re too close.”
“Then let go. I’ll sleep on the other side.”
“That’s a no–go.”
Serves you right for holding back.
The next morning.
Maeve Reese woke up a tad late. When she came downstairs, Byron Mcdaniel had already fixed breakfast with the two little
ones.
She looked around, surprised that he hadn’t hired a maid.
There were at least twenty servants at Nightfall Manor. Each had their job and kept the place running like clockwork.
She was curious, so she asked. Unexpectedly, Byron Mcdaniel said, “Our family of four is reunited. Why do we need those eyesores?”
The family of four.
Maeve Reese’s face could not help but heat up. He muttered softly, “Who’s with your family of four? You don’t even have a
status.”
Hearing this, Byron Mcdaniel shot her a look. “I made that fried egg in front of you for my future wife. How’s it taste?”
Maeve Reese, who had just taken a bite of the fried egg, almost choked. She didn’t know whether to spit out the soft egg in her mouth or swallow it.
“Mommy, Baby’s fried egg is up for grabs. Give it to Mommy!” Theo stood up from his seat and handed his fried egg to Maeve Reese. He said in a baby voice, “Give Mommy’s to me!”
Maeve Reese was overjoyed and exchanged the fried egg with him. “Okay, here you go.”
Let’s see what else Byron Mcdaniel could say.
Byron Mcdaniel snorted and looked at Theo. “You have to call me daddy after eating my fried eggs. Do you want one?”
