Lily knew <b>that </b>bringing up Jarnes wetting himself could hurt his pride.
But having their conversations so <b>was </b>frustrating in its own way.

After some thought, she decided to phrase it as gently as possible. James, do you remem ser? I caught you a few times before–when you’d wet your pants.”
“For an adult to have that happen, it’s really not normal. I don’t <b>think </b>you should ignore it. You <b>should </b>go to a men’s health clinic <b>and </b>get it checked properly.”
…Wet myself?
James’s handsome face darkened instantly, turning as ck as ink.
When they had shared a room before, she had once mentioned him “wetting the bed.”
Back then, he hadn’t yet admitted his feelings for her. If she <b>mistook </b>him for the kind of man who still wet the bed at his age, he didn’t much care–and to avoid her clinging to him, he’d even said he wasn’t “capable
as a man.”
But now that he cared for her, hearing her bring it up again was a whole different matter.
James..”
Seeing his expression–like someone had dug up his ancestors‘ graves–Lily wondered if she’d just touched on a sore subject, wounding his delicate feelings.
She was about to reassure him not to feel inferior, to face reality bravely and seek treatment, when he said in a low, rough voice, “Lily, I didn’t wet my pants. Or the bed. The times you saw me washing my <b>pants</b>… it was because I’d dreamed about being with you, and then..”
And then?
Her mind wentpletely nk as the implication sank in.

God, I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself
The shame surged so hot she couldn’t <b>even </b>look him in the eye.
Face burning, heart pounding, she got up from her chair, desperate to retreat to her room and calm down.
But as <b>soon </b>as she took a step, he pulled her into his arms.
It was so sudden she had no defense, and she ended up tumbling right into hisp.
Her eyes met his, and the intense heat burning there only ignited her own embarrassment into something overwhelming. She couldn’t bear to meet his gaze.

She wanted nothing more than to end the topic entirely. Face flushed, she turned her had away. “I I’m tired. I want to go lie <b>down</b>. Let me go.

“Lily, I want to kiss you.”
“Huh”
She froze for a moment.
Her brain was a little slow to process through the thick haze of embarrassment.
It took several seconds before she registered what he’d said.
She hadn’t even decided whether to scold him into behaving or to let him have his way when his burning- hot kiss stole her breathpletely.
It was unstoppable.

We should slow down.

All she could do was wrap her arms around his neck and let him take what he wanted.

Ivan’s voice cut off abruptly.
Because there, in full view, was his usually reserved, elegant, and controlled brother–kissing Lily like a starving man who had never seen a woman in his life.
Ivan had never <b>seen </b>James <b>like </b><b>this </b>before.
It was like watching a <b>wolf </b>devour its prey–like he might will her whole in one bite.
