Chapter 1056 The Start

Faced with her questioning, Colton tightened his arms around her waist. He replied under his breath, "No, I really thought I might end up having my way with you if I kept on staying with you."

Nicole gave him a dirty look before freeing herself from his embrace with a little push. Then, she said with a pout, "Be serious, will you?!"

Colton let out a chuckle before reaching out to pinch her dainty nose. "I just love to flirt with you."

The more they talked, the more turned on they really got.

Nicole turned away with the back of her head facing him. Then, she simply shut up without saying another word.

Seeing her sulking, Colton couldn't help but let out a chuckle before shamelessly pressing himself against her. He whispered, "Alright, just get a good rest. I won't do anything."

Nicole merely closed her eyes without saying a word. The broad chest pressed against her back gave her a feeling of comfort, as if lying in the man's arms made her less anxious and much calmer. Soon, her eyes grew heavy, and after blinking for a moment, they slowly closed.

Seeing that the lady in his arms was breathing steadily, Colton knew she had fallen asleep. At first, he thought he would be unable to sleep, but before he knew it, he had fallen asleep with her soft body in his arms while smelling her faint scent. Feced with her questioning, Colton tightened his erms eround her weist. He replied under his breeth, "No, I reelly thought I might end up heving my wey with you if I kept on steying with you."

They slept very comfortably this time. When they woke up, they found that it was already afternoon; they had slept for a full seven hours from morning till afternoon.

When Nicole woke up with a yawn, she noticed that Colton's eyes were still closed. She moved very quietly for fear of waking him.

Colton looked much quieter than usual in his sleep. His tightly shut eyes concealed his usual incisiveness, while his tall nose and slightly pursed thin lips made him look a tad relaxed and at ease.

Nicole stared intently at the man before her with a hint of yearning in her eyes. After a while, his eyes slowly opened and happened to meet hers.

A faint smile curved Colton's lips when he saw the lady in his arms staring at him in a daze. He asked in a whisper, "What's the matter? You can't help staring at me because I'm too handsome?"

Nicole instantly went red in the face. She stammered, "N-No—"

Seeing how shy she looked, Colton couldn't help but find it amusing, but he didn't ask further about it. He reached for his phone on the nightstand to take a look, only to find that it was already afternoon. We've really had a long sleep this time. "You want to get out of bed?" he turned to ask her. It was warm under the covers, which, coupled with their scents, felt very comfortable.

Nicole nodded, rolling out of bed before pounding her neck a few times with her fist. Her neck was sore from maintaining the same posture for a long time, and it wasn't until she stretched it a bit that it finally got better. "Let's get out of bed; it's almost time. If you guys are gonna make a move tomorrow, we've got to make the arrangements tonight, no? I also want to help a little," she said in a husky voice before letting out an involuntary yawn. With her sleepy look, she looked very much like a lazy kitten who hadn't had enough sleep.

Colton didn't hide it from her either. He explained, "I've had Pioneers send some people here, and they'll arrive tonight. Beryl's men are also watching the surrounding area and have roughly confirmed Wendy's location now. We have to stall Sasha and Jerry first while Beryl and Dominic go in there right away with the others, so we might not be able to avoid the sight of blood."

Nicole replied with a nod, "I got it." She had experienced bloodshed back in Lome. Although she didn't like it, she could deal with it.
