119 Are You Feeling Well

Alexander’s eyes darkened immediately, a flicker of raw desire smoldering in their depths.

"Evelyn, do you understand the meaning of your words?" His voice was a low rumble.

Having spoken her mind, Evelyn felt a weight lift from her shoulders. She met his gaze steadily, her expression serene. "I am your wife. It's my duty to be here for you, isn't it?"

A quiet longing echoed in her own heart as she said it.

Alexander studied her intently, his gaze probing. His voice softened. "Are you certain? I will not pressure you."

A blush crept onto Evelyn's cheeks, but her resolve held firm. "Yes, I am certain. I won't regret this."

He drew a slow breath, then moved with sudden purpose. Before she could react, he gently guided her backward, his presence enveloping her completely. A soft gasp escaped her lips.

His voice, husky and intimate, whispered near her ear. "I told you last night. I would wait until you were fully recovered. I am not a beast."

The memory of last night's misunderstanding washed over her, bringing a fresh wave of embarrassment.

Then, with unexpected tenderness, his large hand cupped her cheek, his touch warm against her skin.

"But now..." His voice dropped, thick with implication. "It seems I must break that promise."

She lowered her eyes, her face flushed with a shy, unmistakable heat.

Alexander watched her flustered expression, a strange, deep ache stirring within him.

Soon, their breathing fell into a shared rhythm, a silent connection growing between them.

Evelyn closed her eyes. She felt his long fingers gently thread through her hair, his touch lingering with tenderness.

The cool air of the room mingled with the heat building between them. Tentatively, Evelyn reached out, her fingers brushing against him, only to jerk back as if shocked.

A low, throaty chuckle escaped him, his breath hot against her ear.

The intensity between them only grew, undiminished. Her body instinctively curled in response to the overwhelming sensation.

She wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders, clinging to him as an anchor against the storm of feeling.

He quieted every sound she made, giving himself to her completely, without reservation.

Slowly, Evelyn opened her eyes, misty with emotion, and met his intense gaze.

His dark eyes held hers captive. The force of his look made her heart race, as if she might be consumed by the tempest she saw there.

His low, breathy moans hung in the air, causing Evelyn to flinch in confusion. The warmth in her palm grew, intensifying until it felt nearly unbearable.

She had thought it would end quickly. But an hour later, she found herself pushing Alexander's wheelchair toward the car waiting at the entrance of Serenity Oaks.

For some reason—she couldn't tell if it was her imagination—a lingering warmth persisted, a faint tingling sensation remaining in her hands and arms.

Later that day, when Alexander arrived at the office much earlier than usual, his assistant noticed his condition and approached with concern. "Mr. Blackwood, are you feeling well? Should we reschedule the meeting?"

Alexander shot Evelyn a look that was both knowing and deeply satisfied, like a man who had just enjoyed a rare delicacy.

"I wasn't feeling my best earlier," he said casually. "But my wife took excellent care of me."

Evelyn froze, her mind struggling to process his words. The assistant, visibly impressed, commented, "Mrs. Blackwood, you are full of surprises. I had no idea you were skilled in... restorative care."

Whether Evelyn had any medical training, the assistant didn't know. But one thing was clear: Alexander's admiration for her was obvious, and praising her was always prudent.

Evelyn's thoughts instantly flew back to the heated moments they had shared. Embarrassed and irritated, she stamped her foot down on his, hoping to vent her frustration.

She knew he couldn't feel anything below his knees. It was a harmless act.

But to her shock, he let out a sharp gasp, causing her to freeze completely.
