If Jack didn't have a past with Celine, Rachel would probably fall for his handsomeness.
She subconsciously caressed his dark eyebrows and his eyes. Then her finger slowly ran down to his pointed nose and to his thin lips.
As soon as her fingertip landed on his lips, Jack opened his mouth and bit it. He was already staring at her with a smile.
Rachel blushed but she didn't dare to pull her finger. She just said angrily in a low voice, "Let go."
But he closed his eyes again. It was as if he didn't hear anything.
Rachel's index finger was still stuck in his mouth and he even bit it a little tighter.
"Jack!" He still pretended not to hear her.
The rain outside served as a background music to this romantic moment.
"If you don't let go of my finger now, I will never forgive you," Rachel warned.
He pretended to be sleeping.
"You are so childish!"
Jack's lips moved slightly and licked her finger.
Rachel was stunned for a moment. What he did made her hair stood up on the back of her neck. "Are you a dog?" she asked angrily.
When she hurriedly pulled her index finger, Jack burst into laughter.
His eyes were shining brightly. He was undeniably in love.
Rachel felt embarrassed and angry at the same time. She was about to move away from him, but Jack suddenly held her tight. "I'm just kidding. Don't be angry, alright? Let me just hug you a little longer," he said with a wide grin.
"Will your stomachache go away if you hold me like this?" Rachel asked in disgust.
Unfortunately, Jack was so thick-skinned that he answered resolutely, "Yes, it will."
"You..."
But Jack only chortled. Rachel's brow furrowed as she asked, "What's so funny?"
"You're cute."
His voice became a little hoarse and it sounded so sweet to her ears.
When Rachel looked at him, his deep eyes were also staring at her. Then she felt his grip loosened.
She heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Jack had already let go of her. But she almost jumped when she heard the car door was closed with a bang. His longing eyes were staring at her earnestly. Before she could say anything, he leaned over and kissed her ear. His warm breath tickled her. She shivered as her face turned crimson red all over.
The rain was getting heavier outside. The sound of raindrops from the garage made the
atmosphere more intimate.
Outside of the window, the bamboos were dancing freely in the wind. As the wind blew, their leaves seemed to be peeping on the window from time to time.
After taking a shower, Jack went out of the guest room. He looked totally different from his pale and dispirited look a moment ago.
He was only wearing a bath towel wrapped around his waist, and his upper body was totally naked. As water dripped from his hair down to his well-shaped chest, he looked very sexy.
On his way to the other room, he wiped his hair with another towel to dry it.
The door of the other room was shut. He was sure that Rachel hadn't come out yet.
With sparkling eyes and a bright smile on his face, he knocked on the door.
