The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 60 Self-restraint

When the night fell, the wild wolves still wouldn't leave.

Before long, a cold wind was blowing and it started raining. Gradually it was raining harder and harder, and eventually raining cats and dogs. The river gradually rose in the pouring rain and soon became a raging torrent. The wolves whimpered as if something bad was going to happen. They turned around and left.

Philip was relieved to see them leaving. However, his heart sunk at the sight of the constantly rising river below the cave.

Joey was shocked to replace that the river had risen so quickly, "Oh God, at this rate, the water will rush into the cave and flood the entire cave in no time. What should we do? Should we jump into the river before it's too late?" Philip shook his head with a serious look, "It's too late already. Now the river has become a raging torrent. The current is too fast and deep for us. We'll be washed away by the flood and it's too dangerous."

Joey agreed with him. She sat down on a big rock in the cave and said anxiously, "Let's pray that the flood won't come up so quickly."

Otherwise they would have no way out.

They were waiting nervously. The night in the mountains was getting colder, and Joey had to hold her legs tight, trembling all over.

Philip immediately took off his coat and wrapped it around Joey. She looked up at him and said, "You might catch a cold if you gave me your clothes."

Philip smiled and shook his head, "I'm a man, and I'm stronger than you. Besides, I don't mind the cold."

After saying that, he started doing warm-up exercise in the cave.

Joey smiled at him gratefully and said nothing more. She recalled how sincere Philip had been when he said "love is all about devotion and persistence". It was a confession of love at the moment of life and death. Now she was certain that Philip was in love with her.

However, the more certain she was of his love, the more awkward the situation would be.

It was almost midnight now and the rain gradually stopped. The flood eventually didn't come up and stopped rising half a meter below the cave.

Philip and Joey weren't in danger anymore. Yet trapped in the cave, they couldn't leave either.

The cave was dark, cold and humid. Joey was shivering again. Finally she felt dizzy.

"It's cold...so cold..."

Joey closed her eyes and murmured.

Philip decided to take action and held her in his arms to warm her with his own body.

At the moment, Joey felt too cold to stay sober. Her eyelids were too heavy to open. The minute she felt Philip's warm embrace, she subconsciously pressed herself against his, like a docile cat. "Don't...move!"

Philip's voice was hoarse. He blushed at Joey's unconscious move and breathed heavily.

However, Joey couldn't hear him anyway. Her cold hands began to run up and down his back in her attempt to feel his body warmth. Her face was pressed against his strong chest.

Philip's throat was dry and his body was boiling hot. His crotch uncontrollably tightened against hers too.

Joey was too unconscious to realize the danger of what they were doing, and continued to wiggle her body in his arms to replace the most comfortable position.

"Joey..."

Philip tried his best to restrain himself from doing something that he would regret. He just held her tight in his arms.

Indeed, Philip was a gentleman, a real gentleman.

But sometimes, when it came to romantic relationships, a gentleman would often fail to get what he wanted.

Philip held Joey in his arms like a gentleman for the entire night until next morning.

Joey finally woke up when the morning sun shone into the cave. She blushed when she found that she had been curling up in the arms of Philip who was naked to the waist. She quickly got up and took a step back. Philip had been tortured by his sexual desires last night and couldn't fall asleep until dawn. Now waken up by Joey, he looked up at her and smiled, "You're up early. How are you feeling?"

He was afraid that Joey would possibly have caught a cold last night because it was really freezing cold.

Joey instantly shook her head and adjusted her hair a little bit, "I'm fine. Well...thanks for last night."

She was thankful because he had taken good care of her and that he hadn't taken advantage of her when she was most vulnerable.
