Chapter 1150 Carry Me

Erica was starting to experience a sudden qualm of regret as she brought another piece of cantaloupe to Matthew's mouth. Although it was too late to go back on her word, she gave it one last try. "Finish the rest of this and I promise I'll deliver all the kisses together!"

But Matthew wasn't that easy to fool. "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

Even Erica knew he wasn't. The man was sharp as a tack! Having run out of options, Erica leaned over to him and sheepishly pecked him twice on the lips.

Matthew smiled before he dropped another piece into his mouth, and just like that he cleaned up the rest. Erica gave him the last two kisses after the last bite, but when she was about to leave, he stopped her. He took the plate from her hand, pulled her into his arms and kissed her with raw intensity.

Erica relented as he played with her hair and held her tighter and tighter. She melted like a candle into his arms, wondering if he had her trapped.

The man was unable to control his urges anymore; his hands working their way around her body, feeling each line along her perfect physique. Panic-stricken, Erica bit his lips and sunk her nails into his arms.

Frowning, he released her and they pulled apart, both gasping for air.

Erica looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and said, "You...You're cheating!" Not only did Matthew blatantly disregard their agreement, but he was looking to get more. Erica could feel her cheeks blushing a deep crimson.

Sitting cross-legged and leaning his back to the chair, Matthew regained his composure and said, "Rest assured. Although we're married, I'll respect your boundaries and try my best to control myself."

'Control himself?' Erica was puzzled by his behavior. 'Didn't he just say he wasn't interested in me two days ago? What's with the sudden change of mind?

Is he really not interested in me or is he just comforting me with the excuse of "respecting my boundaries"?'

Nonetheless, she decided to be more careful of his tricks in the future.

"Go and wash the dishes!" The man's voice brought her back to reality instantly.

Erica took the empty plate and bowl from the table, walked into the kitchen, and put them in the sink carelessly. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to do the dishes. However, as she stared at the mess in front of her, she fell into deep thought.

Erica had no idea where to even begin.

'Think, Erica Li. Come on, you can do this!' she cheered herself.

Then, she squeezed some of the cleaner into the pot, picked up the brush and prepared to start the work.

However... "What are you doing?" Suddenly, Matthew's deep voice came f

is woman.

When she realized that he was walking towards the stairs, she asked, "Why don't you take the elevator? You should know that I'm quite heavy. You'll get tired."

Erica thought he was going to take the elevator because the home theater room was on the fourth floor.

"Did you just realize that you are very heavy?"

She squinted her eyes at him, annoyed, but since she couldn't hit him, she murmured, "I'm not that heavy."

Matthew fell silent again. In truth, she wasn't really very heavy.

On the way, Erica tightened her arms around his shoulders as she feared that he would play pranks on her or drop her on the floor.

When they were turning a corner, Erica asked, "Have you ever carried her on your back before?"

"One more word out of you and I'll throw you down from here," he threatened.

Erica pursed her lips immediately.

Two minutes later, Matthew pushed open the door to a large room, fully equipped with state of the art sound systems, a few La-Z-Boy reclining sofas and a 120-inch projector screen. He threw her onto one of the recliners and said, "Wait here."

"Okeydokey!"

Having gotten what she wanted, she gladly made herself comfortable and watched him set the projector for her.

A few minutes later, the horror movie "The Unborn Child" began playing on the projector, and Matthew turned off all the lights before slowly sitting down on a recliner next to her.

While watching the trailer, Erica felt shiver through her body, which had never happened before when she watched a horror movie. This one was much more terrifying than the ones she had watched before. Trembling like a leaf, she stuttered, "Umm, Matthew..." He responded without turning his head, "Yes?"

"Could you move a little closer?"
