"Fill up the bath for him?"
Skyler turned around, her small face filled with astonishment. Why would he make such a request? And he even asked her to go upstairs.
Uncle Moore had said that upstairs was Logan's private domain, and she was not allowed to step foot there.
He even reminded her several times before leaving, telling her not to break the rules.
But Logan didn't give Skyler a chance to think.
By the time she realized it, Logan had already disappeared. The spacious living room was left with only her.
Skyler looked up at the winding staircase that led to the second floor. She gritted her teeth and followed him up.
"Knock knock - Mr. Lee, I'm coming in."
Skyler knocked on the door and entered the master bedroom on the second floor.
It was a very uniquely decorated and spacious bedroom.
The eye was filled with oppressive black, and all the soft furnishings and furniture in the room were in shades of black. Low-key and dull.
The bedroom was large and divided into multiple areas.
Skyler pushed the door open and caught a glimpse of Logan standing by the bed, leisurely removing his belt.
She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look around.
She focused on her breathing and silently walked into the bathroom at the other end. Skyler planned to quickly adjust the water temperature for him, fill up the bath, and then leave.
She was crouching by the bathtub, filling it with water, lost in thought. How did things end up like this?
She not only married Logan for money, but now she was helping him fill the bathtub. But she was too afraid to disobey Logan's orders.
Skyler was genuinely scared of that man. She couldn't explain why.
Especially when his deep, dark eyes were fixed on her, cold and eerie, her heart would inexplicably tighten.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a low, indifferent voice mixed with a hint of displeasure came from behind her. Logan had appeared by her side without her noticing.
"Ah, I...," Skyler quickly snapped out of her thoughts, only to realize that the water in the bathtub was about to overflow.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
Skyler immediately stood up and reached out to turn off the faucet on the side of the bathtub. But whether it was because of excessive fear or because she had been crouching for too long, her legs suddenly went numb.
As she bent down and reached out, she felt her legs give way. Her petite body was about to fall into the water, and Skyler let out a soft scream in fear.
In the nick of time, a broad and slender hand reached under her waist and pulled her up. Then, a sudden force tightened around her waist, pulling her back.
She crashed straight into a warm and broad embrace. At this moment, Skyler was like a frightened little cat, her eyes closed tightly with water droplets, and her eyelashes trembling slightly. She looked both pitiful and helpless, tightly curled up in the man's broad embrace.
Logan lowered his gaze and saw Skyler in such a seductive yet unaware and fragile posture. Skyler... this woman, she really wouldn't let go of any opportunity to seduce a man.
Dark flames flickered in Logan's pitch-black cold pupils.
"Let go."
His eyes darkened fiercely, and he pushed her away mercilessly.
Suddenly pushed away by the man, Skyler snapped out of her frightened state! She supported her unbalanced body in a panic, and her watery eyes became clearer after seeing the situation in front of her.
The man in front of her was naked, with only a loosely tied white bath towel around his waist. He still had some water droplets on him, which he had just brought from her face. The transparent water droplets rolled down his strong and tough chest, then crossed his well-defined abdominal muscles, and finally disappeared under the mermaid line at his waist...
Seeing this scene, Skyler pursed her lips with difficulty.
The person she had hugged tightly just now in panic turned out to be Logan. And her face was pressed against his supple and hot chest.
"Sorry... I didn't mean to... I really didn't know it was you..." Skyler could only bow her head and apologize to him in a panic.
She didn't realize it was Logan she had hugged just now. If she had, she would have stayed far away, even if it meant falling into the bathtub instead of hugging him.
"Heh, you didn't know..." Logan's lips curled up in a mocking smile, and a cold laugh escaped from the depths of his throat.
He looked down at her and said, "Skyler, do you think I'm a fool?"
There were only the two of them in this apartment. Skyler actually said she didn't know it was him.
Skyler fell silent for a few seconds, instantly understanding the mockery in Logan's words. She didn't know how to explain herself.
Or rather, she knew how to explain herself, but she was too flustered to articulate her words.
But she also knew that he probably wouldn't believe her explanation.
So she decided not to explain.
As she watched the small woman in front of him gradually lower her head, her soft eyebrows and eyes trembled slightly, and her small hands were tightly clenched in front of her. S
he no longer spoke to explain anything, and her expression gradually returned to its original cautiousness.
As if she was afraid of offending him with even one more word.
Logan raised an eyebrow, and his face gradually darkened.
"Get out of here," he said, his voice low and restrained, as if holding back something. "And don't come upstairs again."
Skyler felt like she had been granted a reprieve and quickly made her way down to her room.
Once she had locked the door and sat on the edge of the bed, she gasped for air, her heart pounding in her chest.
She couldn't help but recall what had just happened.
If she wasn't mistaken, there was a faded bite mark on Logan's right shoulder.
That mark...
She remembered the night at the Nightshade Club a week ago, when she had bitten down on that same spot on that man's shoulder when she couldn't control her pain.
