Chapter 315 Have Half Of My Bed
“Are you still itchy?” Arissa asked as she continued to apply ointment.
Benjamin stared at her beautiful face as she concentrated.
An iprehensible look shed across his eyes at the slightly pinkish part of her cheek. It looked as
though it had been pinched.
He lifted his hand to caress it.
Arissa’s movement paused as she looked up puzzledly at him.
“What happened here?”
Benjamin locked his gaze with her.
She shot a re at him. “You pinched it, remember?”
He arched a brow. Did I pinch her that hard?
Caressing it gently, he asked, “Does it hurt?”
Her heart clenched at his gentle touch. Trying to conceal her racing heart, she snapped, “It does!”

His strokes got even lighter, like a feather brushing against her cheek.
She nced at him before resuming her motion of applying ointment on his skin.
“Lie on your front,” she said while scooting further away, giving him space to stretch out.
He cast her a nce before turning around to lie on his front.
She continued to apply ointment to his back methodically.
“We’re done! You can put your shirt back on.”
After putting away the ointment, she headed to the bathroom to wash her hands.
He sat up from his prone position and put on his pajamas as he looked in the direction she went.
At that moment, she came out of the washroom and met his intense gaze.
“Come here.”
He patted the spot beside him.
Her heart started pounding as she stared at the man sitting on the bed.
“Why?”
She crossed the room to him, acting nonchnt.
He merely indicated for her to sit as he reached for the ointment.
“Let me apply some for you.”
Touched by his offer, sheplied and sat beside him. Her hand went to the spot he pinched earlier.
“You don’t have to apply ointment here.”
As he leaned closer to her, his masculine scent surrounded her.
Feeling him so close to her, her heart began to race.
He was so handsome that she couldn’t avert her gaze from his face.
Once he finished applying the ointment, he said, “Let’s sleep.”
Putting away the ointment, hey back on the bed and pinned his dark gaze on her, as if he was
waiting for her to join him.
Feeling nervous, she quickly dropped her gaze. “Good night, Graham.”
She shot to her feet and rushed to the door.
His gaze was glued to her back as she moved. “Are you nning to leave me, the patient, here all
alone?”
She looked over her shoulder at his question and shed him a smile.

“Aren’t you feeling better already?”
His face darkened at her words as he narrowed his eyes at her.
“Who said I was feeling better? I mighte down with a fever in the middle of the night.”
She was rendered speechless.
A fever in the middle of the night? Why would anybody curse themselves so?
“I’ll go grab a pillow then. You sleep first.”
With that said, she turned to leave.
“Why would you need to grab a pillow?”
Benjamin arched a brow at her, feeling confused.
“I need one since I’ll be sleeping on the couch. I can’t sleep without a pillow,” she said quietly.
“You can have half of my bed.”
He sent her a nce, theny on his side, leaving his back to her.
Her heart pounded at his suggestion.
Her gaze darted between him and the other half of the bed as she contemted.
He’s inviting me to sleep on the bed?
She looked at the couch with an assessing gaze. I can sleep there, but it won’t be asfortable as
sleeping on the bed.
Eventually, she could hear his breathing even out. After weighing her options carefully, she walked
toward the bed.
Confusion rose within her as she looked at his back.
Why did he offer me to sleep here?
She climbed onto the bed with questions running through her head. Hearing the rhythmic breathing
beside her, she quickly fell asleep.
When Arissa’s breathing had evened out, Benjamin finally turned around. His gaze softened, staring at
her quiet sleeping face.
He instinctively stretched his hand out to caress her face.
His thumb rubbed at the spot he pinched earlier with a gentleness that even he didn’t notice.
She turned to her side and unconsciously snuggled against him.
A feeling rose within him as he watched her unconsciously rely on him. His gaze was umonly
gentle.
He pulled the nket over her, covering her carefully.
There’s this scent that I keep smelling. I wonder if it’s her or because a woman is in my bed.
Many thoughts and emotions assaulted him, agitating him. It took him a long while before he could
finally fall asleep.
The next morning, Arissa woke up feeling suffocated. She opened her eyes and was instantly met with
a close-up view of Benjamin’s handsome face.
Blinking at the view a couple of times, she tried to clear the haze from her mind.
