Chapter 824 You Want To Win Me Over

“I can’t sleep if I don’t hug you.” Benjamin plastered his face against hers, his breath hitting

her in the face as he spoke, sending a tingling sensation racing through her.



Arissa’s heartbeat started picking up speed. “So, I’m merely your bolster, huh?”

“That’s not all you are to me.” Benjamin’s voice was incredibly tender. Arissa turned to look

at the man, but her lips just so happened to brush against his.

An electric current spread from their plastered lips to their entire bodies, sparking a fire

within them. Benjamin’s gaze darkened. Cradling the back of her head, he deepened the

kiss.

Arissa felt as though he was taking possession of her soul. Her mind went blank, and her

heart raced. After kissing her for a while, Benjamin recalled that she still had an injury. He

brought things to a screeching halt instead of going further.

He rested his forehead against hers. Both their breathings were chaotic, blending together

in an amorous and intimate ambiance. Benjamin was trying his best to calm his rapid

breathing and leash the desire surging within him.

Arissa, on the other hand, lowered her eyes as she panted. Despite having been intimate

with him, she still lacked self-control every time he kissed her.

Her face would flush bright red, and her heart would flutter with the stirrings of love just like

a young maiden. “You’re also my Mrs. Graham!”

Benjamin’s voice rang out, tinged with a hint of hoarseness, strumming her eardrums. A

tingling sensation coursed through her. Unbidden, the corners of Arissa’s mouth lifted. “How

is that so?”

“Who else could you belong to if not me?”

Benjamin frowned deeply. His voice went up a few decibels, forceful and domineering.



Arissa’s crystalline eyes flickered, hypnotizingly mesmerizing. “We’re not married, so isn’t

the title of ‘Mrs. Graham’ unrecognized by law?”

Leaning down, Benjamin pinned her on the bed. His arms were propped on both sides of

her, his eyes locked on her.

Arissa’s heart pounded all the more wildly.

Meeting the man’s dark and searing gaze, she instinctively swallowed. She felt as though

he was going to set her afire.

“You’d like to marry me?”

Benjamin stared at her petite face with a smirk, looking roguish beyond belief.

Arissa looked away. But she then felt that she was at a disadvantage, so she met his gaze

once more.

She boldly pinched the man’s handsome face.

“Are you going to marry me if I say yes?”

Benjamin’s eyes remained fixated on her, the curve of his lips deepening.

“Yes!”

Words eluded Arissa.

Is he for real?

She gaped at him in disbelief.

At that, Benjamin pinched her cheek with his long and slender fingers. “Is it that

surprising?”

Arissa nodded in a daze.

Benjamin chuckled. “We’ll go and register our marriage tomorrow!”

Again, Arissa was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

Nudging her chin up, Benjamin rolled off her and lay down at the side before pulling her into

his arms.

He rested his chin on the top of her head. “Well?”

Snapping back to her senses, Arissa muttered, “I thought I’d need to expend much effort to

win you over.”

It really lacked a sense of accomplishment when he agreed so readily.

As soon as Benjamin heard that, the corners of his mouth arched in elation. He lowered his

eyes and took in her stupefied expression.

His voice was tinged with delight. “You want to win me over?”

Arissa blinked. “Yup! I boasted of it with Old Mr. Graham!”

Benjamin quirked an eyebrow. But at the thought of her distancing herself from him in the

past few days, his brows creased deeply.

Snorting, he huffed, “Why didn’t I at all feel that you were pursuing me?”

Arissa looked up at him. “I thought there was someone you liked, so I didn’t want to be the

bad guy and break up true love.”

Benjamin went silent for a moment before asserting, “You can continue pursuing me after

we get married!”

Not quite believing her ears, Arissa jerked her head up to look at him.

Alas, she hit his chin. Such excruciating pain shot through Benjamin that his face contorted

in agony.

“Can you please be more careful, woman?”

He kneaded his chin.

“It was an accident!”

Apologizing, Arissa hurriedly checked him out. “Does it hurt badly? Let me apply some

ointment on it.”

She got up to retrieve the ointment, but Benjamin yanked her back and enfolded her in his

arms.

“Don’t wander around in the middle of the night. It’s not that severe, for the pain will pass

in a while.”



In truth, he didn’t want her to leave his embrace.
