Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1072 Jealous of His Son

Right after Colton climbed into the bed, he naturally moved closer to his family. His chest was broad and warm, and he exuded a unique manly scent that made Nicole a little shy. So, she squirmed as she blushed and whispered, "Stay a little further away, and don't come so close."

Colton merely smirked as he pulled her entirely into his embrace. Worried that she would shriek in surprise, she hurriedly covered her mouth. Once she had calmed down, she turned to him under the cover of the darkness and glared at him. "Stop fooling around," she chided in a low whisper. "Our son is still asleep!" Although Hayden had just fallen asleep, he was a deep sleeper and wasn't the least bit disturbed by the adults' shenanigans.

Colton hugged Nicole as he used his foot to shimmy the blanket to a grabbing distance and covered it over them. Then, he placed his chin on her shoulder and whispered into her ear, "Let's sleep like this. Gosh, I'm so tired. Goodnight." After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

Nicole's eyes grew large at his bold behavior. She was completely stuck in his embrace and couldn't even move a muscle. How could she sleep in this position? Thus, she squirmed as she wanted to break free from his embrace, but before she could wriggle out, she heard his husky voice, threatening, "Nicole, I might just do something drastic if you keep moving around."

This was enough to subdue her instantly because she could vividly feel something on her back; not only was his hot body behind hers but also his desires from the lower half of his body. She flushed crimson as she mumbled hotly, "You're a beast!"

He chuckled softly and retorted, "Only to you."

Thanks for all the love from you, really! She thought that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep when Colton so stubbornly forced her into this position. Yet, to her surprise, sleepiness shrouded her mind without her realization, and she fell asleep before she could even think of anything else.

When she woke up, she saw a pair of dark, round eyes looking at her. Her lashes fluttered as her mind slowly awakened from her slumber, and she quickly identified the owner of those eyes was none other than Hayden.

The instant Hayden saw that she was awake, he pouted and grumbled, "Mommy, you promised that you would sleep with me, but you asked Daddy to join us! And you guys were so mean, hugging each other to sleep and leaving me out."

The innocent words of a child turned her cheeks scarlet, and she wriggled a little. Colton was clearly still behind her, but his arms had loosened overnight, and she took this opportunity to slip out before holding Hayden in her arms.

A look of disappointment flashed in Colton's eyes when he felt the emptiness in his arms, and he propped himself on his elbow, leaning his muscular body against the headboard of the bed. Then, he side-eyed Hayden and said in displeasure, "You should look for a wife for yourself if you want someone to sleep with. Your mother already has me and can't accompany you." His deep voice was even huskier from just waking up in the morning and it echoed across the room like music to the ears.

The moment the last word left his lips, Nicole pinched him mercilessly on the back of his waist. "Don't spout nonsense! Hayden is still a kid!" How could he speak anything on his mind without thinking?

He chuckled sheepishly as he reached out his arm and placed it on her waist. Hayden merely watched with rounded eyes and snickered, "Childish." Then, he rolled off the bed and headed into the bathroom.

Nicole couldn't stop herself from laughing at Colton being called childish by a kid. So, she hugged his arm as she teased mercilessly, "How could you be jealous of your son? Are you turning into a child as you age?"

Alas, there wasn't even a trace of guilt on his face as he hugged her around the waist and muttered, "Yes, I'm jealous. I don't care. It doesn't matter even if he's my son."
