Mitchel, noticing her averted gaze and reddened cheeks, felt a surge of curiosity. Next, he seized her quick, clumsy hand, which was trying to button up. With a rough voice, he inquired, “Want to touch?”
Mitchel gently guided Raegan’s hand across his sculpted abs, letting her feel their firmness beneath his skin’s warmth. The heat of his breath brushed against Raegan’s face.
Mitchel didn’t stop there but led her hand lower, tracing the Lines of his Adonis belt toward a more private area…
Caught off guard, Raegan quickly came to her senses and pulled her hand back. Her cheeks flushed a deep red, spreading to her neck and ears. What was he making her touch? What a disgusting man! He was shameless, pervert and scumbag!
Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Raegan exclaimed, “You… Pervert!”
In her agitation, she dropped her disguise and spoke in her true voice.
Mitchel, wearing a teasing smirk, responded, “You were looking so closely. I assumed you wanted to touch.”
“Who would want to touch, you disgusting pervert! I’ll sue you for sexual harassment!”

Mitchel, barely lifting his eyelids, quipped with a raised eyebrow, “Oh? Then, do I get to sue you for pretending to be a medic?”
“You!” Raegan was caught off guard and visibly surprised. “How did you figure it out…”
She couldn’t pinpoint when he had seen through her disguise. Judging by his tone, he knew the moment she entered. He made her feed him water, shared the same cup and even checked his wound. It turned out he was on purpose.
Mitchel gently lowered her mask and lightly pinched her cheek, gazing into her eyes. “You could hide in a turtle shell, and I’d still know it’s you.”
His eyes sparkled with a playful Light, clearly delighted to see her upon waking. Despite her efforts to move on, it was clear she hadn’t, still clinging to her feelings for him. This realization made him visibly happier. His usually stern expression softened.
“You’re the real turtle here! A soft-shelled turtle, that’s what you are!”
Raegan, feeling tricked, swatted his hand away and turned to leave, but he caught her with his long, strong arm. “Please, don’t go.”
Caught off guard, Raegan almost stumbled into his arms. She quickly pushed him away, accidentally touching a sensitive spot, which visibly changed his expression.

His attractive face lost color as he seemed to be in pain. Raegan was taken aback, her mind flashing back to the day he was severely wounded.
Her heart tightened, and she instinctively moved closer to try and fix his disheveled clothes. “Are you in pain? Do you need to get a doctor?”
Facing her, Mitchel’s robust chest was in full view. But her concern made her overlook it. “I think we need to get a doctor,” she said with a grave look.
As she tried to stand, Mitchel drew her back into a gentle embrace.
“I’m not in pain,” he whispered, his voice deep and enticing. “Your concern makes me forget all discomfort.”
Raegan struggled to push him away, careful not to cause him any pain.
“Who said I’m concerned about you?” she retorted, irked by his assumption.
“Oh, if you’re not concerned, may I just lean on you for a while?”
