Chapter 177 You're Mine

"Kate, what do you love me so much?" He hugged her.

"I don't know, my heart whispered to me that I love you. I couldn't change it, even when I tried!"

"Then listen to your heart," Joseph lightly kissed her forehead.

Kate lied on his arm and asked with embarrassment, "Then can you stay me until I fall asleep like you did last night?"

"I would even if you hadn't asked," He picked her up and carried her to the bed, gently laying her down.

Kate's face flushed, and her breathing became rapid as her heart started to pound, "Staying with me means sitting next to me or holding me, not this. It is slight dangerous…"

Joseph raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "Are you worried about me? Or you? Are you worried we might violate the agreement between us?"

She knew he was doing it on purpose. He was aware of how she felt, but yet he continued to ask her. Kate turned her head away, not daring to look at him, because she was afraid she might lose control and fall under his spell, and the agreement would be pointless.

"Get some rest," He sat up and held her in his arms.

She cuddled into Joseph's chest, "You need to stay here."

"I will, but Kate…" A sly smile appeared on his face, "Are you hinting at something?"

"Hinting?" She exclaimed, looking up at his handsome face.

Joseph's eyes fell down on her, and he said in a gentle voice, "You wish that I would stay, do you?"

Kate was so was dumbfounded by his sexy, seductive appearance that she was slow to respond. Joseph took it as a sign of approval and slid down into the bed to lay next to her. As they lay side by side, Kate didn't know if she could move, Joseph's smooth gesture was so affectionate.

"What are you trying to do?" She asked.

Joseph held her tightly and said, "Didn't you agree that I could sleep here?"

"No, I didn't!" She pushed him away, but it seemed more playful than serious.

Joseph was much stronger than her, he put his arms around her and gave her no chance to escape. In a sensual voice, he commented, "Stop moving around so much, or I may not be able to control myself."

Kate understood exactly what he meant and immediately stopped moving. Her heart was trumping and her face was red, she nervously said, "Then…should we go to sleep?"

"Yeah, we should go to sleep!" Joseph smiled with satisfaction.

The next day, Kate woke up to find herself sprawled across Joseph. She quickly moved and then nudge him, in a lazy voice, "Joseph?"

"Yes?" He replied sluggishly, with his eyes closed.

Kate didn't really want to get up, it was 6 a.m. and still dark outside. So, she looked at Joseph sleeping next to her, then put her hand around his waist and closed her eyes.

"I didn't think you slept well before?" He complained.

"I didn't sleep well before?" She didn't realize, she asked uncertainly, "Did I sleep on you the whole night?"

"Did you?" His voice was filled with perseverance.

"Well, I'll be more careful next time," Kate whispered, with Joseph on top of her in such an intimate position, her heart beat faster and her voice trembled.

"Would you like to compensate me?" Joseph's voice echoed in her ear.

Kate knew that if she didn't get up, they might go too far. She tried to negotiate with him, "You should get up!"

"Why?" Joseph said playfully.

"How can I compensate you if we don't get up?" Kate asked, understanding that Joseph was impossible to deal with.

"If I get up, what's the reward?" He flirted.

She didn't plan to stop the quarrel, she leaned forward and nibbled on his ear, "Reward?"

"Do you mean to …?" Joseph frowned and sneered at her.

Then he lowered his head and kissed her as the sun began to rise. Joseph covered Kate in sweet kisses and light touches.

Kate remembered that Amy was gone, she quickly sat up and rushed to go to the kitchen. However, Joseph stopped her and pulled her back to the bed.

"What's the matter?" Kate asked.

"Once you go to the kitchen, you're mine," He grinned, "Why would you make me breakfast for no reason?"

"But how about Amy? She cooked so many years for you, did she belong to you?" Kate uncomfortable after she asked.

"That was her job, it was different," Joseph explained boldly.

"So, where will I be yours?"

"Anywhere and everywhere!" Joseph's eyes wandered over her body and flirted.

"Well, I guess we are different," Kate just wanted to change the topic. She giggled to herself though.

"So, does this mean you are acknowledging that you're the hostess of this family now?" Joseph continued to ask, he was not giving up without an answer.

"Yes, yes, yes," Kate exclaimed.

Joseph let out a sigh of relief, "Let's go then!"

"Don't you want to catch up on sleep since you didn't sleep well last night?" Kate pouted. "It's my fault that you didn't sleep well. Next time, you could wake me up if I am disturbing you."
