When She Turns Her Back (Teresa and Charles) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109

Troy lay down on the bed, clutching the corner of the blue blanket and inhaling deeply, savoring the scent that was uniquely Teresa’s. It was as if he could never get enough of it.

Teresa frowned. “Troy, my brother’s next door. If I call out, he’ll be here in a flash. You’d better leave the same way you came in, or I’ll report you for trespassing.”

Troy turned to face her, with a flirty smile. “Come on, are you really that cold? Since I’m already here, can’t I at least get a taste of your warmth before I leave?”

His eyes were filled with deep, playful amusement.

The window was still open, and when the chilly late–October night air drifted in, Teresa shivered.

She remembered closing the window before she left that morning, as it had been raining. Troy must have snuck in through the window

Troy always had that reckless, bad boy vibe. His eyes were gorgeous, and he looked at everyone with the same affectionate gaze. Teresa wasn’t fooled, though–she didn’t think he was actually falling for her.

The sheets had just been changed a couple of days ago, still carrying the fresh scent of sunlight mixed with a hint of body wash. Troy felt incredibly comfortable, almost reluctant to leave.

Seeing he wasn’t moving, Teresa got a little annoyed. “Troy, get off my bed. Now.

Troy paused, then shot her a wicked grin. “Hey, I’m just doing what you told me, babe.”

With that, he tossed the blanket aside and slid off the bed, walking toward Teresa. He deliberately unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his ripped, muscular chest, which gleamed in the light with a golden glow.

As he closed in, Teresa stepped back until her leg hit the edge of the dressing table, causing her to lose her balance. She almost fell, but Troy caught her just in time, pulling her into his chest.

Troy inhaled the scent of her shampoo, taking a deep breath as if addicted to it

Teresa instinctively placed her hands between them to prevent direct contact, but her hands ended up resting on his bare chest instead. His laughter deepened. “Enjoying the view, babe? Satisfied with what you’re feeling?”

Teresa’s face flushed bright red, and she hissed at him, “Troy, you jerk, let me go!”

Troy pressed her tighter against him, his grin never fading. “Your waist is so soft, and you smell so damn good. How could I let go?” Teresa reached out with her free hand, pinching, slapping, and pounding on him. “Troy, you pervert. Let go of me right now.” Teresa struggled, pushing against him with all her might, but he was unfazed, like he didn’t even hear her insults.

He easily caught her flailing hands, holding them firmly while staring down at her with a playful grin. “Really, babe? Gonna be this heartless? Not even a little ‘I missed you‘ for me?”

Teresa didn’t answer, just kept struggling.

Troy grinned as he watched her futile attempts to break free.

As she kept struggling, his shirt loosened further, revealing more of his abs. Panicking, Teresa pulled her hands away, and suddenly her body pressed against his bare, muscular torso.

She could feel his body heat, scorching her like a wildfire, making her feel exposed and helpless.

Troy’s eyes darkened with desire, and his breathing became heavier.

Teresa, feeling the heat from his body, pushed against him again. “Troy, let go!”

Troy wasn’t about to let her go that easily. He scooped her up and slung her over his shoulder like she weighed nothing.

Teresa let out a startled yelp the moment he picked her up.

Chapter 109

Troy gently laid her back down on the bed. He quickly grabbed her hands again, holding them tightly so she couldn’t escape. She had no choice but to meet his intense gaze.

Troy lowered his head, blocking out all the light behind him. He leaned in, his face lost in shadow, impossible to read, while his ragged breaths filled the silence between them.

Terrified he might lose control, Teresa whispered in a panic, “Troy, please, don’t do this.”

Her voice was soft and vulnerable, sending a shiver through Troy’s body. His expression faltering for a moment.

Just then, a knock came from the door. “Aunt Teresa, are you okay?”

It was Monica’s voice. She must have heard Teresa’s startled yelp when Troy picked her up.

Teresa panicked, but Troy was even faster–he dove under the covers right next to her, pulling the blanket over himself in one swift

move.

Monica, not hearing any answer, grew worried and called out softly, “Aunt Teresa, I’m coming in now.”

Teresa was just about to say she was fine, but Monica had already opened the door and stepped inside.

Seeing Monica come in, Teresa quickly sat up in bed, propping herself against the headboard and giving Monica a reassuring smile.

Monica frowned with concern. “Aunt Teresa, are you okay?”

Under the covers, Troy lay beside her, his body burning with heat, and his hand was shamelessly wandering over her leg. Teresa stayed perfectly still, not daring to move, letting him have his way.

“Monica, I’m fine. I just twisted my ankle a little,” Teresa said quickly.

Hearing that, Monica looked even more worried. “Let me see.” She started walking toward Teresa’s bed.

Teresa hurriedly said, “Monica, I’m a doctor. I promise, I’m really okay.”

Monica frowned, hesitated for a moment, then said, “Then I’ll go tell Dad and Mom.”

Teresa’s heart raced, but she pleaded, “Monica, please don’t tell them. I just want to get some rest. Please.”

Monica thought it over for a long moment before finally agreeing, “Okay then.”

Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, but right then, Troy shifted under the covers.

Monica spotted the big lump next to Teresa and asked with curiosity, “Hey, Aunt Teresa, what’s that big lump beside you?”
