236 No One Prepared Me
That wouldn’t do.
Wyatt gripped Yunice’s chin and took control, deepening the kiss.
Finished
Yunice’s fingers slid down the back of his neck, tugging at his collar until she popped off two buttons, then slipped her hand inside.
Wyatt let out a low breath and opened his eyes to look at her.
What was she trying to do?
Water clung to Yunice’s lashes as she looked up at him, calm and composed. “Wanna play?” she asked.
A jolt ran through Wyatt’s gut. He stared at her intently, but didn’t make a move.
Yunice’s hand continued exploring under his shirt, reaching for his belt.
But the moment her hand brushed his waist, Wyatt pulled her firmly against him.
Both of them were soaked, their clothes clinging to their skin, revealing hints of color beneath the fabric.
With one hand, Wyatt could cover the small of her back, pinning her tightly to his chest. He exhaled hard. “Don’t test my patience.”
He was barely holding on.
Yunice didn’t say a word. Just looking at her was enough to scramble his senses.
Wyatt lost control, hands slipping under her shirt-
Then, just as suddenly, he broke away.
Yunice was breathless, confused by the distance he’d created.
Wyatt let go. “Next time,” he said.
He turned the water from cold to warm, then stepped out and shut the door.
Yunice stood alone under the still–running shower, water pouring around her. Through the foggy glass, she could see Wyatt leaning against the door outside. Her breath slowly began to steady.
She stepped under the spray, took off her clothes, and washed up.
A few minutes later, she cracked the bathroom door open and asked, “Do you have anything I can wear?”

Wyatt looked down at Yunice, “Go on.”
Carl was here for her, not for him.
Finished
Carl sat across from Yunice. “I’ve got two things for you–one good news, and one… well, you’ll have to decide whether it’s good or bad. Which one do you want first?”
“The good news.”
“I got you a dowry.”
Yunice’s fingers froze. She looked at Carl, eyes softening with emotion.
She’d never dared hope for a family to see her off–much less prepare a dowry.
Elsie had gotten one. Back then, Lily had thought the Powell family was marrying Elsie, and she’d gone all out, buying her lavish gifts and obsessing over every wedding detail.
Once they realized the bride was Yunice, no one mentioned a dowry again. No one even offered. to help her with the wedding.
So Yunice had always told herself–she didn’t have a family.
