Chapter 157: Warmth
Mira’s breath hitched as she turned to him, her hazel eyes wide with a mix of shock and indignation. The words she wanted to say caught in her throat, tumbling over one another as her emotions surged.
"Of course, there’s everything wrong if they did!" she snapped, her voice trembling with the force of her feelings. "It matters a lot, Zamian! How can you even say that?"
Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, her nails digging slightly into her palms as she fought to steady herself. She could feel the heat rising to her cheeks, betraying the turmoil within.
"You’re not a child, first of all," she continued, her tone laced with frustration. "And besides, you’re married. I wouldn’t want anyone—anyone—to see my husband like that."
The words tumbled out before she could stop them, sharper than she had intended. Realizing the intensity of her outburst, Mira bit her lip hard and turned away, her cheeks flushing deeper. She hated how vulnerable she felt in moments like this—how easily her emotions seemed to take control.
But why did it bother her so much? Why did the mere thought of someone else seeing Zamian in such a state ignite this burning anger within her?
Her steps faltered as she tried to move past him, but the thoughts swirled relentlessly in her mind. The very idea of someone else laying eyes on Zamian’s bare body filled her with a fierce possessiveness she couldn’t fully understand.
It wasn’t just jealousy. No, it was something deeper, something raw and personal. The thought of another person having access to him, even in a way she hadn’t yet...
Mira’s hands trembled as she clenched them tighter, frustration bubbling over. "Goodness, what is wrong with me?" she muttered under her breath. "What’s wrong with this maddening husband of mine?"
She turned back to face him, her emotions shining clearly in her golden eyes. There was no hiding it now, no pretending she wasn’t affected.
"Don’t even think about letting anyone else do that," she whispered, her voice softer but no less intense. "Not when you’re mine."
