Husband With Benefits
Chapter 735: Run

Chapter 735: Run

Dora woke slowly, a lazy smile spreading across her lips as she stretched beneath the sheets. A slight wince escaped her as the soreness from last night’s activities made itself known but it was quickly replaced by a satisfied grin. So what if she was sore? The ache was a badge of triumph. She had successfully seduced him- the experienced playboy. And by the look of it, he probably hadn’t even realized it was her first time... Perfect.

Her gaze drifted to her side, and her eyes widened in surprise. He was still there. She had fully expected him to be gone, slipping away in the early hours of the morning to avoid any ’post night after’ awkwardness.

She turned and raised herself on her elbow, carefully observing his sleeping form. He really was a handsome man and even now, with all the ’acrobatics’ they had done last night. She still wanted to explore him, to trace every line of his body, as if last night hadn’t been enough to satisfy the curiosity she’d harbored.

And why not? Dora rolled over and checked the time on her phone. Her first appointment of the day wasn’t until later in the afternoon, which meant she had the entire morning to indulge herself—plenty of time to lazily lounge in bed, or perhaps... something more. She smirked at the thought, already feeling the mischief that had carried her through last night starting to bubble up again.

She flicked off the airplane mode, intending to message Tasha to not distrub her before the afternoon. But before she could type a word, her phone buzzed rapidly a cascade of notifications flooding the screen. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Cai’s name.. Why did he send her so many messages? And then her stomach sank as she read the messages

6:30 AM - Cai: Hope you’re awake. We need to talk about something ASAP.

6:45 AM - Cai:Still asleep? Call me when you wake up.

7:00 AM - Cai: Dora, seriously. Turn on your phone.

7:15 AM - Cai: Okay, now I’m getting worried. Are you okay?

7:30 AM - Cai: I’m not sure if you’re still asleep, but this is why I tell you to not turn off your phone when you sleep!

7:45 AM - Cai: Dora. Please, call me. It’s urgent.

8:00 AM - Cai: You can’t be sleeping in this late unless...Look, I don’t know if you’re alone, but you need to know this before it’s too late.i

8:10 AM - Cai: Fine. Since you insist on sleeping with your phone turned off, let it be clear that what happens next is not on my conscience.

8:15 AM - Cai: Dora? Are you there?

8:20 AM - Cai: Alright, I’m guessing you’re still out cold, but you really need to wake up now. Seriously.

8:25 AM - Cai: The storm is heading your way. ETA: about an hour. Go save yourself.

8:30 AM - Cai: if you’re not alone, NOW is the time to get him out of there.

Dora bolted upright, her heart pounding in her chest now. An hour minutes? Her eyes snapped to the man beside her, still peacefully asleep. And then she glanced at the time. Holy shi*! It was already ten past nine!

9:10AM - Cai:

Finally the messages are getting delivered! I swear, if you’re still in bed with someone... you’ve got 15 minutes before they’re at your door. I’m not kidding.

9:11 AM - Cai:

I really hope you’re reading these. And if you are, why are you still reading, do something!

Panic surged through her. Yes! Why was she not doing something. She threw the phone down and shook turned to shaking his shoulder frantically. "Kael! Kael, wake up!"

He groaned, slowly blinking awake, clearly disoriented. "Mmm... What’s the rush?" he mumbled sleepily, reaching for her with lazy satisfaction. With one swift movement, he caught her wrist, tugging her back onto the bed and pulling her beneath him. His lips grazed her neck as he nuzzled her, a husky chuckle escaping him as he murmured, "You’re up early for someone who worked out so much last night."

For a moment she froze. How could someone’s sleep voice sound even more sexy...

But then reality crashed back down. The storm.

"No, no, no," she gasped, pushing at him. "Kael, we don’t have time for this! You have to go!"

"What’s the hurry?" he asked, still teasing, his lips ghosting over her skin.

Dora gave another half-hearted shove, her fingers slipping against his warm skin. But the panic in her chest finally snapped her back to focus. "Kael, seriously!" she pushed harder, squirming out from under him, heart racing as she stumbled out of bed.

She darted across the room, frantically pulling her clothes on as she glanced at the clock on her nightstand. Nine-fifteen. A wave of panic rolled through her again. "Shit! Shit!" she muttered under her breath.

"What’s going on?"

Kael finally seemed to have clued in to her panic as he sat up and watched her putting on clothes.

Dora didn’t answer immediately. She threw his shirt at him and fumbled to toss the rest of his clothing toward the bed, glancing anxiously at the clock again. "You need to leave. Now!"

"Why?" Kael asked, slowly standing up and starting to straighten his clothes... while Dora muttered something..

"Dam* it! Why are you slower than a turtle? You need to leave before Cai... Just go. Okay? I’ll call and explain everything later."

Kael stopped as he narrowed his eyes, watching Dora straighten her hair in the mirror. Cai was coming. And that was why he was being thrown out of her room like a... used condom?

Instead of putting on his pants, he stopped and straightened, instead walking towards the bathroom. He heard her voice calling after him," Where are you going? Why are you not putting on your pants? Why?

"I need to use the washroom?" As Dora followed him, he walked inside and closed the door while hearing her stomp her foot outside," Dar* it! Can’t you use the washroom later at your home?"
