You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 618

The next day, Arissa woke up to a warm body behind her.

Her entire being froze.

She whipped her head around to see a handsome face right behind her.

Benjamin seemed more approachable in his sleep, so she couldn't help but observe him carefully.

Didn't he sleep on the other side last night?

She snuggled into his embrace, enjoying the feeling of his strong arms supporting her.

The man's hot breath fanned her cheeks, bringing about a ticklish sensation.

Arissa felt her heart skip a beat.

As Benjamin's lashes moved, she promptly shut her eyes.

Her heartbeat quickened when she sensed the man's gaze landing on her.

Benjamin had just roused to the sight of Arissa lying in his arms quietly. His heart was full.

Something gleamed in his eyes as he realized her lashes were twitching. His lips curled into a mischievous grin.

Suddenly, Benjamin thought of teasing her.

He tightened his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Arissa couldn't help but cower when his hot breath puffed against her neck.

"It's ticklish," she grumbled softly.

Benjamin let out a low chuckle as Arissa's cheeks turned pink.

Benjamin nuzzled her neck and took in her alluring, sweet scent. Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but give her a few pecks.

Arissa's entire being trembled profusely as her cheeks heated up.

In a low voice, she chided, "What are you doing? Release me!"

The kids are right beside us!

She tried struggling out of his reach. However, she didn't dare move too much for fear of waking the kids.

However, her struggles seemed like an invitation to Benjamin.

His gaze turned dark with desire as he pressed his lips onto her nape.

Arissa shuddered and gave him a forceful kick.

Thump! The man tumbled off the bed.

Arissa was shocked by the loud voice.

The children promptly jolted awake. They sat up to replace out what had happened.

At the sight of Benjamin's grim expression, they gaped at him.

Benjamin glared at the woman who hid under the covers.

How dare she kick me off the bed?

Sensing his imposing presence, Arissa felt a chill go down her spine.

I didn't do that on purpose! It was an instinctive reaction. He was the one who took advantage of me!

"Daddy, why are you on the ground? Did you fall off the bed?" Gavin asked on purpose.

Inwardly, he was laughing in delight. I can't believe Daddy fell off the bed!

"Mr. Graham, why did you fall off the bed just like Jesse?" Zachary grinned.

Both Oliver and Jasper giggled aside.

Benjamin's expression turned dark.

Jesse took one look at Benjamin and touched her head.

"I fell off that side last night, and Mr. Graham fell off this side in the morning. Mr. Graham, did you sleep with us?"

The kids cast him suspicious looks. Benjamin's throat went dry as he stood up.

He glanced at the woman hiding under the covers and told the kids, "Hurry, go wash up!"

The children shared a look and didn't say a word, for he looked especially grumpy this morning.

They toddled to the bathroom as ordered.

Benjamin fixed his gaze on the woman. "Get up!"

Arissa shuddered. Is he going to beat me up?

Benjamin's brows snapped together. Isn't she afraid of suffocating under the covers?

As she didn't move an inch, he reached out and pulled the covers away.

Without warning, Arissa met his sharp gaze. She blinked before offering an apology.

"Graham, I didn't do that on purpose. You did that suddenly, so I reacted subconsciously to defend myself!" she explained.

Benjamin harrumphed. "If you did it on purpose, I would've been injured!"

Arissa had no words to reply.

I'm not as good as him at fighting. Even if I did it on purpose, I wouldn't be able to injure him.

"The floor is covered with carpet. Did you injure yourself?" she asked.

Despite rejoicing inwardly, she pretended as though she was worried about him. "Should I help you to apply some ointment?"

Benjamin glowered at her cheeky smile. He knew she was merely putting up an act, but the anger in his heart faded away.
