Eleanor slept like a log, and when she woke up, she felt as if she had been run over by a truck, too sore and weak to move.
She lay in Bernard's arms, looking at his robust chest and perfectly sculpted abs, and let out a deep sigh.
"Bernard, what are you up to now..."
The man paused his movements, seeing that she had woken up, and gently stroked her hair and cheek.
"Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry!"
Eleanor thought he wanted to continue, so she quickly pushed him away and tried to roll out of bed.
But before she could even get to the edge of the bed, he pulled her back.
She landed back on the soft mattress, pleading with Bernard.
"No more, spare me..."
A hint of amusement appeared in Bernard's eyes.
"I meant, do you want to eat?"
Eleanor froze at this, then realized that his 'hungry' didn't mean what she thought.
Her face turned red, but she tried to act nonchalant and nodded at Bernard: "Um, I'm hungry..."
This time, it was Bernard who misunderstood, or maybe he did it on purpose. After embracing Eleanor and pushing into her, he whispered in her ear: "I'll feed you."
After being 'run over by a truck' again, the man carried her into the bathroom, cleaned her up, and then carried her, wrapped in a bathrobe, to the dining room.
The long dining table was filled with all kinds of dishes, with servants standing by, waiting for the villa's master's orders.
Bernard, holding Eleanor, sat down in the main seat, scooped a spoonful of boletus mushroom soup, and brought it to Eleanor's mouth.
"Have some soup first to replenish your strength..."
Eleanor cast a glance at the smug-looking Bernard
