I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 520 Rhea didn't use bathtubs other than her own , so she stood under the shower on shaky legs , barely able to hold herself up . As George carefully lathered her with body wash , she looked down at him . His toned body was marked with traces she had left on him , and they were enough to make her blush . She couldn't resist running her hand along his back . There was just something about a man's charm that women couldn't compete with . It stole the show . George looked up . " No wandering hands allowed . " " Wandering ? " Rhea raised her voice .

" Are you sure this is called wandering ? I'll show you what a wandering hand is really like ! " As quick as a flash , her hands roamed over half his body . The next thing she knew , her wrists were pinned against the wall behind her . A moment later , she let out a soft moan , half from pain and half from shock at being abruptly penetrated . Rhea emerged from the bathroom 40 minutes later , wrapped in a bath towel . She sat at the dining table and looked at the food that had long gone cold . She was exhausted , but she was also starving . George came over with a hairdryer .

" I ordered fresh food . It's on the way . ' He had slipped into a black robe he'd brought with him . His slightly narrowed eyes and subtle smile gave him the air of a predator . Rhea leaned back , resting her head on the chair as she let him fuss with her hair . At some point , he caught her mumbling something and turned off the hairdryer . " What did you say ? " She smiled . " Nothing " The food arrived when Rhea's hair was mostly dry . She was ravenous by then . As she ate , she scooped out some food and placed it on George's plate . " I don't like this .

" He popped it into his mouth without a hint of complaint . Her eyes widened . " You're not picky with your food ? " " I can be . " " So , you like that ? " He poured her a glass of water . " I'll eat it as long as you give it to me . " Rhea shook her head . " I want a drink . " 1/3 Chapter 520 It had been ages since she'd had alcohol . George indulged her , calling the hotel to send up a bottle of red wine . Rhea piped up again . " I don't want red wine . " " What do you want , then ? " he asked , still on the line . " Beer ? " Nothing could beat a cold beer for kicking back .

+25 BONUS George relayed the order to his bodyguards and also asked them to come by later to clear out the untouched food from earlier . He told them to have the hotel kitchen reheat it for their own meal . There was no sense letting it go to waste when it was basically fresh . Rhea changed into clean clothes before sliding onto George's lap . He hadn't finished eating , but he didn't push her away . He speared a piece of meat with his fork . " One more bite ? " She shook her head , wrapping her arms around his neck and nestling into his chest .

It was rare for her to be this openly clingy , so he set his cutlery down , held her close , and softly asked , " What's up ? " Rhea blinked . " George , I think I really , really like you . " They'd had their impulsive moments , but their relationship was mostly grounded in reason . Because of that , their love was steady and gentle . Yet it was also this kind of love that filled Rhea's heart with contentment . George's eyes lit up , and he smiled . " Thanks for liking me . " No one knew how much he worried every day .

He was jealous , insecure , and terrified that Rhea might not be over Carter . Ever since he found out that Carter was working at Solaris Ventures , George had to fight the urge to use his influence to get him fired . Fortunately , it seemed like Rhea truly didn't care about Carter anymore . Rhea studied his jawline . " It still feels surreal . How did we end up together ? You were always like a big brother to me . " George said , " But I never saw you as a sister . " She grinned . " Oh , come on . You didn't see me as a sister even when we were kids ?

" " In all the years I've known you , you've only ever been two things to me . " George paused . " Nathan's sister , and my fiancee . You'll be my wife in the future , right ?
