Chapter 226: Ominous-Sounding Message
After their passionate lovemaking, Matteo wanted nothing more than to cuddle Amelia and sleep on the same bed as her. However, he heard Aiden’s loud voice from outside, cheerfully welcoming Isaac home, and telling him of Matteo’s visit.
"They’ve spent an awfully long time inside together," Aiden said, deliberately raising his voice. "I wonder what they could possibly be doing."
"That damn brat..." Matteo scowled, while Amelia snorted in amusement, even as the thought of walking out covered with Matteo’s marks and his essence inside her made her face burn in embarrassment.
"We’ll have to get up eventually," Amelia said reluctantly, slowly but surely extricating herself from Matteo’s tight hold. She began to put on her clothes. "There’s no place for you to sleep here."
"And you’re not moving back with me." Matteo couldn’t help the bitter smile that crossed his lips as he got up and tidied himself. Yet, he knew it was merely wishful thinking; with Emmeline’s issue being so perilous, it was best for Amelia to be kept further away from the blast radius.
Matteo would use his body, his heart, his very soul to shield her from harm. Amelia had already suffered enough, he’d be damned if he put her through the wringer just to satisfy his burning need to have her close.
This intimate encounter would have to be enough to tide him over until it couldn’t any longer.
Once they were decent, Matteo opened the door to reveal Aiden’s smug, knowing face.
"And here’s the happy couple! Congratulations―"
