Chapter 259: Repaying Him

He averted his gaze, opening his mouth to speak with a sense of helplessness. “Do you…are you aware that your words and actions are quite suggestive?”

“I know, but I’m not scared!” Raylee adjusted his mask with both hands, making him look directly at her. Then, she cheekily raised an eyebrow. “Bring it on. I’m ready to face it!”

However, her audacity and initiative did not yield the results she desired, as the masked man made no move. Yet Raylee had sensed a change in him. Initially, she assumed he would go with the flow, but suddenly, he pushed her away. Raylee felt a wave of disappointment wash over her.

“Isn’t it obvious that I’ve made the first move? How could he push me away? Girls too have their own pride, you know!”

The masked man straightened up, his tone carrying a sense of detachment. “Your health isn’t the best. Don’t do this again next time.”

Raylee wore a look of defiance. “What do you mean my health isn’t good? I’ve been recovering quite well! You knew very well that I was fond of you. Moreover, this is the only way I can think of to repay you.”

He softly said, “I don’t require any repayment from you.” The masked man gently brushed her bangs that had fallen over her eyes, adding, “You can thank me in a thousand different ways, but not like this. I didn’t want you to compromise yourself. All I want is for you to return to your true self. The happier you are, the happier I am. Do you understand?”

Tears welled up in Raylee’s eyes. This guy always manages to move me at the most unexpected moments. She sniffled before voicing her doubts. “Sure, your words sound nice, but it doesn’t change the fact that I practically threw myself at you and…you…honest with me, are you having trouble getting it up? If you’re having problems, we should seek treatment as soon as possible! With the advancements in medical technology today… Wait, that’s not right. I clearly felt it just now…”

She scratched her head in frustration. “How could I ever doubt you? If you can’t get it up, Dodo wouldn’t even exist, right?”

Suspected of being impotent, the masked man felt a blow to his male pride. He immediately asserted, “Never question my abilities. Once you’re feeling better, you’ll be begging for mercy.”

Once he finished speaking, he laid back down, his long arms spread wide open. “Since I promised you a perk, I won’t go back on my word. I’ll hold you in my arms as we sleep tonight.”

Wonderfully surprised, Raylee nestled herself into his embrace, holding him tightly. Her head was buried in his sturdy chest as she inhaled deeply the pleasant scent that was uniquely his. This is so satisfying and incredibly comfortable!

“Young lady, now tell me, can I get it up?” The husky yet magnetic voice of the masked man rang out above her head.

With her face blushing, Raylee gave a slight nod. For a man, such a situation was actually a kind of torment. There was a delicate beauty nestled in his arms, but all he could do was gaze at her, not daring to touch.

He tossed and turned, shifting through various sleeping positions, but sleep simply eluded him. Could this be considered one of the worst pains a man could bear? Raylee, however, chuckled to herself discreetly.

She deliberately brushed her body against him, fanning the flames of desire within him. Then, in a mischievous tone, she suggested, “Why not…stop holding back?”

“Seduce me at your own peril!” The warning exploded in her ear.

“What could possibly happen? At worst, we can just stop!” Raylee was unfazed.

Just as the atmosphere suddenly turned sensuous, the door to the room swung open suddenly. A little child, with bare feet, scampered into the room. Without uttering another word, Dodo dove into arms, speaking in a babyish voice. “Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight. I want to hear a bedtime story.”

“I’ll read one to you. Let Mommy sleep. She’s tired from today.” The masked man then picked up Dodo.

Dodo, however, struggled free, “Naughty Daddy, you’re hurting me. Did you hide a gun in your pants or something?”

Unable to hold back, Raylee let out a burst of laughter. The masked man rose from the bed in embarrassment, quickly making his way to the bathroom. Before long, the soft pitter-patter of the shower could be heard.

Outside the bathroom, Raylee could tell that the masked man was using a cold shower to quell his arousal, an act that frustrated her. He would rather choose a cold shower over me. This is so disappointing!

Nearly half an hour had passed before the masked man leisurely emerged from the bathroom. Dodo had already dozed off, softly snoring. Raylee was also in a groggy state, close to drifting off to sleep. A rich scent of shower gel hit her senses as the masked man pulled her into his embrace, snapping her back awake. The “gun” had also laid back down, and peace returned to the previously chaotic evening.

All Raylee wanted was to savor the sensation of falling asleep in the arms of the masked man. As his pleasant scent intoxicated her, she softly asked, “Mr. Mask, can I always be this happy?”
