My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 923

When she came to the Perry family's on the first day, Matthew had been tricked by her to go to another country, hence she had been able to spend the night alone in the room without much worries. But then, Matthew was back now.

Would Matthew want to sleep with her tonight?

Selina's eyes shimmered.

She felt that there could be such possibility.

She no longer had the mood to lie down. Instead, she sat up, wanting to read a book to kill some time.

The room had big bookshelves which were completely filled with books.

Selina scanned through the books which all seemed like those with profound knowledge. She had almost no interest in reading them at all.

In the end, she simply picked up her phone and downloaded a reading app in which she started reading a genre fiction novel.

At this moment, she actually didn't have much mood to read the novel, but merely to pass time and do something. She didn't want Matthew to see her being unnatural when he entered the room. It didn't take long for Selina who was reading to hear footsteps drawing closer.

Her heart was beating a little faster.

She knew that Matthew was coming.

True enough, the bedroom door was pushed open and Matthew came in.

Selina felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness.

She lowered her head to continue reading and pretended that she hadn't seen Matthew.

"Selina." Matthew's gentle voice began to ring beside Selina's ears as he walked to Selina's side.

Selina had no way to continue pretending.

She could only raise her head and look at Matthew.

Matthew was gazing at her. His gaze was as deep as a vast ocean.

"Let's sleep in separate rooms today since there are so many rooms in your house. Either you or me go to sleep in another room," Selina said dryly.

Matthew's gaze darkened slightly.

He said in his thin lips, "It'll be a joke for us newlyweds to sleep in separate rooms. Don't be like this, Selina."

Selina bit her lips.

She knew that Matthew would not let her go so easily.

Since that was the case, then it would be better to lay the cards on the table.

With gritted teeth, Selina said, "Alright then, let's be clear that you're not allowed to touch me." Then she paused and said in an embarrassed tone, "You tortured me so many times that night that it was too much for my body to bear. Now that I've not recovered, you need to be considerate for my health condition."

Matthew's breathing paused.

Selina's words caused a sense of guilt to erupt within him.

That night, under the influence of the drugs as well as his lust for her, he had bedded her.

"Okay, I won't touch you," Matthew murmured.

There was a slight croakiness in his voice.

Selina heaved a sigh of relief.

In the meantime, Matthew had gotten on the bed.

Selina's body became stiff instantly. Despite the fact that Matthew had promised not to touch her, this was the first time for her as an adult to be in the same bed with a man in such a conscious state. Selina was in a seated position on one side and Matthew didn't lie down either.

In order to divert her attention, Selina's eyes went back to the phone once more.

"What are you looking at?" Matthew glanced at Selina.

"Reading," Selina said stiffly.

Matthew suddenly recalled the day some time ago when Selina was visiting the Perry family's for the first time and got all drunk. When he'd called the following day to enquire on Selina's health, Natalie had said a bunch of things about the topic of erotica.

Matthew's lips curled up slightly and asked, "Erotic novels, huh?"

Selina was speechless.

She glared at Matthew and said, "Do you think I'll be reading one like you?"

This man must be quite an expert for the first thing he mentioned was already about reading erotic novels. He might be solemn-looking on the outside but could be hiding under his blanket to read and drool over such novels during midnight.

Matthew said helplessly, "I've never read any such novel." "Who knows!" Selina's voice was full of doubt.

"It's true," There was a hint of innocence in Matthew's tone. "How could I have time to read this kind of novel when I'm so busy?"

It would have been better had Matthew not said anything because the moment he said those words, Selina did not seem to believe him at all.

No time for novels? What a joke.

With such a big bookshelf inside the bedroom filled with books, were the books all fake?

Furthermore, Selina discovered that

all these books had marks of being flipped open. So if it hadn't been. Matthew who read the books, then could it be Erine who sneaked into the room to read them?

"Don't tell me you haven't read the books in your bookshelf?" Selina stared at Matthew.

A strange emotion flashed across Matthew's eyes as he said, "I have time to read these books, but I don't have time for erotic novels."

Selina was silent.

She couldn't understand Matthew's logic.

What the hell was that?

They were all books. Why didn't he have time to read those kind of novels?

"You don't get it?" Matthew raised his eyebrow slightly.

"Yes, I don't."

нет

Matthew's handsome face got a little closer. As he spoke, his warm breath was felt by Selina's face. He said, "It's because not only you need to read through the erotic novels, but the

also need to spend time of

arousal brought by it. So, do you think I have the time, huh?

Selina was speechless.

Her cheeks flushed and she tried to act calm so that the blush would fade away.

She forced herself to meet

Matthew's gaze and said in a

sarcastic tone, "Seriously? No time? Mr. Perry, it just takes you a wave of

your hand and countless women would be willing to come over. You just have to let them sit on you and

move on their own. That won't

spend any of your time."

Matthew's gaze deepened and he said in a flirtatious tone, "Hmm, are you willing to do that?"

Selina was stunned.

This Matthew was rather good with communicating. He had been mocked but was still able turn the tables and tease Selina in return.

"Me? Of course, I don't want to!" Selina replied immediately.

Matthew smiled. His smile seemed to mean something else as he said, "I'm still okay if you're willing. As for others, I'm really not interested at all. I might as well use my own hands."

As soon as Matthew finished speaking, a scene appeared in Selina's head.

The scene of Matthew "using his hand".

She muttered, "So disgusting."

"Disgusting?" Matthew said in a slightly croaky voice, "If you're willing to help me, then it won't be disgusting anymore."

"In your dreams!" Selina glared at Matthew.

Matthew's lips curled into a smile. "I really had a dream last night. I dreamt of you helping me to get off."

By fact, those words were meant to sound vulgar. However, they did not sound so at all when spoken by this person, but seemed seductive that it could make people blush and heart beat faster. Selina felt that she could no longer continue with this conversation which was getting more and more titillating.

And at this time, she and Matthew were on the same bed. What if Matthew was suddenly turned on and forced himself on her?

After all this Matthew was not a gentleman to begin with.

"Alright let's end the conversation. I want to continue reading my book. Don't disturb me!" Selina raised her voice and said again, "Whoever talks next is a jerk."

Matthew smiled and didn't say anything further.

As Selina was reading, he picked up a magazine to read as well.

Selina took a look and saw that it was the National Geographic magazine.

Her lips twitched.

How could someone read something so boring?

No matter how long one could read a book, one would still need to rest.

As Selina placed down her phone, Matthew put down his magazine as well.

As Selina looked over to Matthew without her realizing it, she noticed that Matthew was also looking at her.

Their eyes met...

Selina felt an indescribable nervous and awkward feeling.
