Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 940

Chapter 940

Lenny rinsed his mouth and finally felt a bit of clarity return.

“I… I’m sorry… I’ve embarrassed myself…”

His head was still clouded, heavy and dizzy, but apologizing had become almost instinctive.

“Can you stand?” Michelle asked.

“My legs are weak.”

He tried, but his body was still drained. His limbs felt like they no longer obeyed him.

Michelle pressed her lips together and didn’t argue. She bent down, gathering all her strength to lift him.

But Lenny was too heavy. In the struggle, she failed to hold him properly, and the momentum sent them both stumbling backward.

Yet, before the pain could even register, a heady scent of alcohol hit her.

Lenny grabbed her instinctively, but he could no longer support himself. They crashed backward with a heavy thud.

His back slammed hard against the cold tile.

Michelle landed safely in his arms.

“Ah-”

The shower, accidentally knocked open, sent a cold torrent cascading over them. (1)

“Ugh…”

Michelle shivered, but her first thought was to check on him. “Are you okay?”

The icy water instantly sobered Lenny. Seeing the worry etched on her face, he shook his head slightly.

“Miss Keller… you didn’t get hurt, did you?”

“I’m fine…”

Only then did Michelle realize she was pressed against his drenched chest. The thin fabric between them had become almost transparent under the pouring water.

Droplets trickled down her hair and jawline, falling along the hollow of his neck, brushing against his throat. She froze, then tried to rise, but the floor was slick. Every struggle made her sink deeper into his arms. 1

Lenny shifted, uncomfortable from her movements. The dull ache along his back flared anew, and he couldn’t help a muttled

groan.

“Did you hurt yourself?”

Michelle’s hands pressed along his spine, feeling the tight tension in his muscles. Their eyes met, hers wide with concern.

Water dripped from her lashes like tears, tracing her cheeks. 1

Lenny stared at her, frozen, voice hoarse. “Miss Keller… you should get up first.”

Michelle panicked. Bracing herself against the slippery tiles, she tried to stand, but wobbled Lenny instinctively caught her again.

This time, his arms instinctively wrapped around her waist.

Under his palm, the wet fabric clung to her slender, warm waist, every curve clear and defined.

Both of them froze. The air between them thickened, heated, drowning out the chill of the water.

Michelle’s cheeks burned. She tried to rise again, but his arms around her waist held her fast.

“Ah… Lenny… let go…”

“Turn off the water first.”

His voice was hoarse and dry, but different from before. Gone was the usual deference, the timid restraint. Instead, it was softer, gentler-intimate in a way that made her pulse quicken.

Michelle froze for a few seconds.
