Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 461

“You bad daddy! I’m not a little man; I’m just four years old! You just want to make a fool out of me and have Miss Tessa all to yourself!”
“Good that you know it.” Nicholas didn’t deny it upon being exposed.
Tessa’s cheeks burned a little as she stood aside and listened to the father and son’s conversation.
Later that night, Tessa coaxed Gregory to sleep. When she came out of his room, she noticed that the light in the study was still on, so she went to the kitchen, warmed a glass of milk, and brought it to the study. Little did she expect, as soon as she entered, she saw Nicholas beating his knees and looking unwell. She hurriedly walked over to him and put down the glass of milk, asking with concern, “Is your old wound flaring up?”
Nicholas nodded slightly. “I’m too busy these days, so I haven’t been sleeping according to schedule. I didn’t expect it to cause my old wound to flare up, though.”
In an instant, Tessa felt terribly sorry for the man. In an uncompromising manner, she helped Nicholas up from behind his desk, saying, “Why keep working when you’re already feeling so uncomfortable? Go back to the room with me and rest.”
Having no other choice, Nicholas followed Tessa back to the bedroom. Nevertheless, his heart was warmed by her actions.
However, when they returned to the room, Tessa noticed that Nicholas was in so much pain that a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead, and her heart clenched all at once. “Let me do some acupuncture on you,” she said. Then, she turned around and dashed out of the room to look for Andrew. She remembered that she had not only left a set of acupuncture tools here earlier on but also had Timothy deliver some medicinal ingredients here.
Upon learning that Nicholas’ old injury had flared up, Andrew immediately got Tessa what she wanted as fast as he could.
After returning to the room, Tessa started to apply herbs to the site of Nicholas’ old injury before doing acupuncture on him.
Nicholas was very cooperative during the whole process. An hour later, Tessa put away the needles and asked with concern, “Are you feeling better now?”
Nicholas gazed at Tessa with such tenderness in his eyes as though he wanted Tessa to be immersed in it. “Yeah, I’m feeling much better now. Thank you.”
Tessa heaved a sigh of relief. “Good to hear that the pain has been alleviated,” she said. Then, noticing how exhausted Nicholas was at the moment, she stood up and said, “I’ll go run the bath for you. Take a bath later; it’ll help you sleep better.”
Nicholas nodded.
However, when half an hour had passed and Tessa saw that Nicholas hadn’t come out of the bathroom, she started to get worried. Could that guy have fallen asleep in the bathroom? The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. If Nicholas had fallen asleep, he could be in danger of drowning. “Nicholas, are you done taking a bath?” She stood at the door and knocked on it.
However, no answer came from inside the bathroom.
As Tessa was worried, she didn’t bother feeling shy at the moment. She pushed the door open and went in, and as she had expected, she saw Nicholas sleeping with his back against the bathtub. “Wake up, Nicholas. Let’s go to bed to sleep,” she urged loudly while pushing him.
Nicholas woke up at the first syllable Tessa uttered. “Sorry. I fell asleep.” His voice, which was husky with sleep, sounded incredibly attractive.
“It’s okay. The water has cooled. Just get up quickly lest you catch a cold,” Tessa said. As she spoke, she picked up the bath towel placed aside and handed it to Nicholas, her cheeks blushing. Fearing that she might see what she wasn’t supposed to see, she dared not look at Nicholas.
Under the light, Tessa’s cheeks looked as red as a ripe honey peach that made one want to take a bite of it. When Nicholas saw her looking like this, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down for a moment.
The next moment, Tessa’s cry of surprise could be heard in the bathroom; she had been dragged into the bathtub by Nicholas.
As Nicholas looked at the curvaceous lady in his arms, the feeling of longing that had been repressed inside him for a long time was unleashed all at once.
Sensing Nicholas’ reaction, Tessa hurriedly put her hands on his chest and exclaimed, “Stop it, Nicholas. You should take a rest.”
However, Nicholas didn’t listen to her at all. Instead, he lowered his head and seized her pink and tender lips in a kiss, and the air in the bathroom gradually became extremely hot.
An hour later, Tessa, her cheeks blushing, left the bathroom in Nicholas’ arms. At first, she thought this would be the end of it, but who would’ve known that Nicholas would make love to her again in bed?
