Chapter 46

46 46. Lust or Love

Compared to Paula, Lea was cute. She was another type of beauty. Her vanilla perfume was another type of seduction. She was the woman of his dreams.

If William was a player, he would want to experience all the different types of women. Moreover, people say, every woman has her own unique taste. Fortunately, William was not that kind of man. He was sane enough not to take advantage of a woman who threw herself at him.

“Lea, go back to your room! I don’t want to cheat on Paula,” William pushed Lea away, but she refused. “Don’t make me betray her!”

“Aren’t you guys going to get a divorce? Aren’t we getting married soon?” Lea asked pitifully. “So what’s the problem if we do it now?”

Lea’s eyes glistened with tears. She didn’t know if William was afraid to touch her because he was the faithful husband type, or because he just didn’t want to be with her anymore.

“Lea, I’m sorry. I said that I would help you. Not that I’m going to marry you and divorce Paula.”

“What did you say? Isn’t this a good opportunity for us to get your parents’ blessing?” Leah defended herself. She reminded William of their original intention.

“I’m sorry, Lea. At first, I thought so. However, I now realize that everything has changed. I love Paula and don’t want to be separated from her,” William explained without looking at Lea’s face. He knew Lea would be very disappointed with him.

“No, Will! You don’t love her. You only lusted after her because she was the first woman you touched!” Lea couldn’t accept herself being rejected like this. “Don’t mistake lust for love, Will!”

.....

‘Will, brace yourself!’ In his head, William warned himself. He knew that this would not end well.

“This is not lust, Lea! I really can’t divorce her,” William grabbed Lea’s shoulders and pushed her harder. “Please understand our current circumstances. I love Paula.”

Leah shook her head and held back her tears. “I’ll show you what lust is!”

Furiously, Lea unzipped her dress, lowering the skimpy dress so that it pooled around her legs. She approached William again with her body covered only in a bra and thongs. She was pregnant but her body still looked attractive because of her flat belly.

“Is this what you call ‘In love with Paula’? What is this feeling?” Lea urged wildly.

William turned around quickly. He didn’t want to see Lea in a worse state than this. “Lea, please stop this bullshit!”

However, Lea did not give up. She quickly removed all the clothes that were on her body and threw herself at William, making the man fall onto his bed.

“This is how you feel for her, isn’t it?” Lea grabbed William’s pants and was about to take them off.

However, William grabbed Lea’s hand and grabbed it, “Lea! Don’t do this to me! I don’t want to hurt you and your baby!” William snapped.

Sweat dripped down William’s temples. It was obvious that William was currently working hard against his will. Lea, who knew it, immediately gave an additional stimulus and teased William in the chest until his eyes were closed and he groaned loudly.

“Come on, Will! Paula will never know if we both keep it a secret,” Lea whispered, insistently. She did what Paula did to seduce William.

In the meantime, William had been overcome by lust. His barrier had almost collapsed. He couldn’t think properly anymore. With this condition, he would fall for her trap and have an affair with her.

It was then, with a little sanity remaining in his head, he saw the wedding ring on his left hand. He remembered his promise to Paula that he would never touch another woman.

Right now, Lea did look tempting. However, if he had followed his male instincts, he would have been far worse than trash. He would have the courage to face Paula again.

Paula’s face suddenly flashed through his mind. Her smile, her furious face, her everything. For that reason, William pulled out the drawer with his right hand and took a knife from there. Without thinking, William removed the blade guard and grabbed the sharp edge to cut his palm.

“Aarrgghh!”

William groaned loudly in pain. The excruciating pain struck along with the fresh blood flowing from William’s right palm onto his sheets and pants. The pain made consciousness run through his mind, distracting from the lust that had been almost unstoppable.

Lea, who was still sitting on William, was surprised when she felt that William’s manhood was no longer hard. How can a man soften when a naked hot woman is sitting on his manhood?

The moment Lea noticed the blood gushing from William’s palm, that’s when she almost screamed. Fortunately, William quickly covered Lea’s mouth with his left hand.

“Don’t scream! You can wake people up,” William whispered in a muffled voice. “Put on your clothes and go back to your room.”

William helped Lea to get off her body. Lea’s naked body no longer bothered her because he was able to control his will. He then pulled the white blanket and wrapped Lea’s naked body with that thick cloth.

Lea could only watch William wrap her body nonchalantly. She could only see the bloodstained white cloth covering her exposed skin. She was dumbstruck.

“Why Will?” asked Lea, staring blankly at the floor. “Why do you have the heart to embarrass me like this?”

Right now, Lea felt like a homewrecker who failed to seduce a loyal husband. She felt ashamed. Colour suddenly left her face. Tears flowed uncontrollably.

“I’m sorry, Lea! I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I’ve decided not to divorce Paula. I will persuade her to keep this marriage.”

Lea sobbed, clutching the white cloth around her body. She wiped her puffy face, making the cloth damped with tears. “Why didn’t you do this when Paula seduces you? Back then, why didn’t you choose to be loyal to me, Will?”

Hearing Lea’s question, William’s chest ached. Why hadn’t he done the same for Lea?
