Edmund's POV
I needed to confirm if what I perceived as an 'obedient wife' act is nothing but an act, then there should be a limit as to how far she would go.
I wanted to make a proper plan to shatter this act of hers but opportunity had landed on my feet. Well, in this case, my thigh.
It would be a lie if I had no emotion seeing and feeling her hand rested on my thigh.
My heart beat unusually fast. I shut my eyes to resolve my determination. This is not to appease my sexual desires but to find out the truth.
I have to do this. I must. Even if it breaks me!
I gazed at her, intending to make her uncomfortable. However, my eyes unintentionally linger longer than I planned. I gulped when I noticed she bit her lower lip.
'How effortlessly sexy she looked tonight,' I thought before realising I had failed my mission before I even started.
'It's harder than I thought it would be.' I ran my fingers across my hair, praying whatever that I was going to do will yield in fruition.
