The air was filled with awkwardness.
Raegan quickly sensed his erection, and her face turned a deep shade of red.
Right then, Annis’ voice reached them from outside. “Miss, are you okay?”
Annis had gone upstairs to pick up a toy. Upon hearing the commotion, she made for the sound, worried.
Despite her question, no response came from either Raegan or Mitchel.
Annis’ worry deepened. “Miss, are you there? I’m coming in…”

Raegan felt a surge of panic. She doubted she could explain if she and Mitchel were seen in this position.
Raegan hastily got up from Mitchel, her knee accidentally brushing against him, making him let out another muffled groan.
Mitchel caught her ankle, his face going white and his voice raspy.
“Are you trying to kill me?”

Raegan then realized where her knee had hit. She felt utterly embarrassed.
Suddenly, the door lock clicked, and Annis was about to come in.
Raegan’s eyes went wide, and in a hushed tone, she said, “Let go of my…”
But before she could finish, Mitchel suddenly held her waist and pulled her into the wardrobe.
The door opened just as Mitchel shut the wardrobe door behind them.
The wardrobe was spacious, but it felt incredibly tight with both of them inside.
Mitchel’s tall build only made the space feel more constricted.
Raegan, left with no choice, found herself so close to him that any minor movement could cause her to brush against his pronounced Adam’s apple.
The dim lighting revealed the enticing movement of Mitchel’s throat, making her heart race.
Raegan looked away, regretting not having gotten up from him and leaving this room early. This closeness between them only served to deepen her regret. Being seen by Annis would have been less awkward than enduring this intense discomfort.
Upon checking the surroundings and finding no one, Annis concluded she must have been mistaken. She noticed some clothes out of place and straightened them up.
Raegan’s posture was tense, and inadvertently, her lips grazed Mitchel’s Adam’s apple.
The next second, Mitchel’s body tensed in reaction.
Like a bird spooked into flight, Raegan tried to pull away quickly, but Mitchel caught her firmly by the back of her neck. “Stay still,” he said in a low, raspy voice, his breath warm against Raegan’s ear.
