Jared Hughes didn't find it painful, the place where she had bitten him tickled and tingled.
His phoenix eyes exuded spring charm, and as he half-leaned on the sofa, he looked down at Betsy Russell's fiercely adorable expression, involuntarily curling the corner of his lips into a grin.
Betsy Russell felt somewhat guilty upon hearing Jared Hughes laugh. She looked at him and defensively said: "What are you laughing at!"
"My little darling is quite bossy, not even allowing me to laugh?" Said Jared, pulling Betsy closer. He pressed his forehead against hers and said, "Bossy beauties are irresistible!"
Betsy, sensing a certain part of Jared's body becoming restless again, pushed him away and sat up. She announced, "I'm going to take a bath now."
"All right, I'll help you."
Laughing, Jared scooped up Betsy in his arms.
Her hands and feet instinctively clung to Jared, making her look like a koala hanging onto a tree.
