Chapter 1090 - 1090

"But Dad won't let me give the photo to Mayor Hall."

Brynn Quincy said worriedly.

Hannah Jacobson glared at him and said, "Just listen to me, I'm not going to screw your dad over. Go reprint two photos and send them to Mayor Hall. By then your dad won't even have time to stop praising you."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

With Hannah egging him on.

Brynn Quincy bolted out in a rush…

On Dirk Carter's side.

By the time Elbert Rivers drove the two of them back to the villa, it was already dark.

Dirk Carter found a room for Megan Goodman and settled her in. He had just turned to leave when suddenly Megan called out, "Dirk…"

"What is it?"

Dirk Carter turned back and asked.

A flash of terror spread across Megan Goodman's face.

In a very small voice she asked, "I…I don't dare…sleep alone, by myself. C-can I sleep with you? I…I can just sleep on the floor in your room…"

Seeing how pitiful she looked.

Dirk Carter's heart softened.

He said helplessly, "Alright, then come with me."

Megan Goodman jumped up happily.

She immediately started gathering the bedding.

Dirk Carter thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, just sleep in the same bed with me. We've already slept together for several days now, there's no need for you to sleep on the floor anymore."

Hearing that, Megan Goodman blushed, gave a little "mm" in her throat, and followed Dirk Carter back to his bedroom.

After the two of them each got into bed.

They lay down, one blanket per person.

Dirk Carter deliberately didn't turn off the light, worried that Megan Goodman would get scared in the dark.

Of course, he also consciously kept a certain distance from her.

He had no intention of playing at "oops, we slipped" with this woman.

Astrid Giles didn't believe in that kind of thing, tried it once, and almost lost her life.

He still had a clear sense of which women he could touch and which he couldn't.

No idea how long he'd been asleep.

Suddenly.

A leg suddenly draped over him.

It startled him awake.

He didn't even have to turn around to know it was definitely Megan Goodman's doing.

"Can't even sleep properly."

Dirk Carter muttered.

He instinctively reached out to push her away, but the instant his hand touched her thigh, that skin-on-skin contact was like an electric current shooting through his whole body.

He half-sat up to look.

His nose almost started bleeding.

The blanket that had been covering her was now nowhere to be seen.

With that extra little push from Dirk Carter, she'd ended up lying flat on her back.

This was exactly what people meant by a jade body laid out in full.

It was right there in front of him.

She didn't have a single stitch of clothing on her entire body.

On that fair, tender skin, you could still vaguely see some scars, but after a few days of healing they were already very faint—if you didn't look closely you wouldn't notice them at all.

And that wasn't even the most lethal part.

The most lethal were the two soft, springy, big white rabbits bouncing right in front of his eyes.

Her lower body wasn't a jungle of overgrown hair; it looked like there was just some fuzz left, probably trimmed down.

Right now, her legs happened to be parted.

The pink stream valley was wide open, and the sight made Dirk Carter involuntarily swallow.

Those two long, straight legs were hanging there casually.

With that perfect proportion, those enticing curves, plus that stunningly beautiful face, any man who saw her would be tempted.

"Dirk Carter! What are you doing? Isn't this way too rude?"

Just then, a voice deep inside him spoke up.

Dirk Carter snapped back to his senses in an instant.

He noticed the blanket had fallen to the floor on Megan Goodman's side.

He still had to pick it up and cover her.

Otherwise, if she slept naked all night in the air-conditioned room, she'd definitely catch a cold.

So.

Dirk Carter carefully sat up.

Leaning over Megan Goodman's delicate body.

He stretched his hand out, about to reach for the blanket on the floor.

And at that exact moment, Megan Goodman inexplicably opened her eyes.

He had to know his current posture was incredibly awkward.

To anyone who didn't know the situation, it looked like he was on top of Megan Goodman, and Megan Goodman at this moment wasn't wearing a single piece of clothing. The way it looked, it was like Dirk Carter was about to do something to her naked body.

"What are you doing?"

Megan Goodman's face flushed red in a flash.

She asked him, their faces inches apart.

Dirk Carter groaned inwardly.

He asked, "If I say I was trying to cover you with the blanket, would you believe me?"

He'd thought Megan Goodman would definitely scream.

Unexpectedly, she didn't.

She suddenly reached out, wrapped an arm around Dirk Carter's neck, and stared straight into his eyes as she asked, "You want to sleep with me, don't you?"

"N-no, no, you've got it wrong, you've got it wrong…"

In that charged atmosphere, Dirk Carter stammered out his denial.

Megan Goodman smiled.

So beautiful it was unreal.

She said, "I've got it wrong? But it's poking against my lower belly…"

Dirk Carter froze.

He glanced down, and this time it was his turn to blush.

The erection between his legs was, sure enough, positioned perfectly, pressing right against her lower abdomen.

Startled, Dirk Carter was just about to straighten up.

But Megan Goodman was still clinging tightly to his neck.

She murmured, "I can give myself to you, but you have to promise me one condition."

"What condition?"

Dirk Carter asked without thinking.

Then he suddenly snapped out of it and said, "No, no, Megan, you've misunderstood, I really was just trying to cover you with the blanket."

"I know. I kicked the blanket onto the floor on purpose."

As soon as Megan Goodman said that.

Dirk Carter was instantly stunned.

"Dirk, I used to think I'd grown up, that I was invincible, that I could roam the world without relying on Dad Elbert anymore. When Dad Elbert arranged for me to be with you, I honestly hated you from the bottom of my heart. I thought all those warnings you gave me were complete nonsense. I mean, in this day and age, how could there still be bad people?"

"I admit I was wrong. I really regret not listening to you, which is how such a huge disaster happened and made you and Dad Elbert worry about me."

"Especially you—you even suffered such serious injuries because of me. Honestly, I feel really guilty inside…"

At this point.

Dirk Carter seemed to understand something.

He said, "Megan, my injuries have nothing to do with you. Your Dad Elbert entrusted you to me, and I failed to take good care of you. So you absolutely don't need to…do this…because of that…"

"I haven't finished. I'm not doing this to repay you with my body. It's just, after spending so much time together, I realized I've already…I've already fallen for you…I know you have a family, but…but I…really want to give myself to you. I…I want to be your woman, the kind without any claim to a name or status…"

Megan Goodman said with deep feeling.

Dirk Carter's mind exploded with a bang.

He was screwed.

This woman had actually fallen for him.

He hurriedly said, "Megan, you're still young. Right now it's just a momentary crush, it doesn't count. You've got a long road ahead, we…"

Dirk Carter wanted to explain further.

But Megan Goodman didn't give him the chance.

She gathered all her strength.

Suddenly rolled over.

And in one move, pressed Dirk Carter down beneath her…
