Chapter 399

God, did he know how evocative his words were?

“Do you want to touch me?” His voice, and the way he tilted his chin slightly back, seemed like the most intense form of seduction.

“No… no thanks…” stammered Grace. She felt her blood pressure spiking again.

“Is that so?” He smiled, though a hint of disappointment flickered across his face. He abruptly changed the subject. “By the way, you have Saturday afternoons off, right?”

“Yeah, why?” she asked.

“Make yourself available this Saturday afternoon. I’ll take you to the hospital for a physical examination,” Jason said.

“A physical examination?” Grace was surprised.

“You haven’t had one in years, so go get one this Saturday. It’s always necessary to have an annual physical,” he said.

She bit her lip, then nodded. “All right.” Her company used to arrange physical examinations for employees. When she thought about it, there was nothing wrong with getting a checkup.

That night, as Grace prepared for bed, Jason said he wanted to sleep in the same room.

Grace’s eyes widened. “You… you’re going to sleep here too?”

“Is there a problem? Didn’t we sleep in the same bed when we were in the rental house?” he said calmly.

The question was, would it be the same? Back then, she had viewed him as a brother. Now, he was her boyfriend!

Grace blushed and glared at Jason. “I’m used to sleeping alone.”

“Nonsense. You told me you liked the feeling of me sleeping with you.” He called her out on her lie.

She was speechless, scolding herself for her earlier words.

Grace decided to be direct. “We… we’ve only just started dating, and I’m not ready for that yet, so…”

“Ready for what, Sis?” A chuckle escaped him. “Do you mean you want to do the things couples do?”

He leaned closer, his face near hers.

Grace blushed furiously and tried to speak, but her voice caught in her throat.

His fingers caressed her cheek. “Sis, you can rest assured that I’m just sleeping with you like we used to at the rental house. I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to, but…”

His voice trailed off as his lips brushed her ear. His breath smelled like orchids. “You can do whatever you want with me anytime. If you want me, you can have me.”

Grace’s heart pounded.

“May I, Sis? I just want to be as close to you as before. Besides, we’re boyfriend and girlfriend now, aren’t we?” he murmured, his voice pleading and slightly coquettish.
