Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1057: Kiss

Tanya Sullivan is still young and has never worn a bellyband. Cain Shaw paused for a moment, noting how her skin was indeed as smooth as a freshly peeled egg. The red straps of the bellyband hung on her fair neck, and the image of the mandarin ducks on the water highlighted her graceful curves, making it hard to look away.

"What are you looking at!" Tanya immediately covered herself, glaring at him angrily, "If you keep looking, I’ll gouge your eyes out!"

Cain realized he had perhaps taken a few too many glances, which was quite inappropriate. He coughed, "Why are you dressed like this?"

She had no clothes to wear, and even this bellyband was borrowed.

"Of course, it’s to... seduce a man!" Tanya replied irritably.

"Aren’t I a man? Why can’t I look?"

"I’m going to... seduce Carney Shaw, not you!"

"..." Cain was speechless; it seemed that Carney Shaw had quite an encounter before his demise.

He cast a sidelong glance at the area she was covering, "Don’t bother hiding, we’re old friends, and it’s not like I haven’t touched before."

Tanya Sullivan, "..."

That time in the hospital, when Carney was peeking through the door, Cain had once pinned her to the bed and kissed her, even slipping his hand under her clothes to roam around.

What a jerk!

"That was before, now the feel is definitely not the same!"

"Are you saying you’ve grown a bit more? But all I see is still a flat surface."

A flat surface?!

"Cough." As the atmosphere grew increasingly awkward, Serena Sterling had to cough to remind the bickering duo, as the scalpel in her hand was already burning hot, nearly impossible to hold on to, "Tanya, Cain, let’s begin."

Tanya shot Cain a fierce glare, "Dr. Sterling, let’s start."

Serena came in front of Tanya and gripped the handle of the sharp instrument, beginning to pull it out with force.

Sweat beaded on Tanya’s forehead immediately, and Cain pressed a pillow to her lips, which she quickly bit into.

Pain.

It was too painful.

Tanya bit down on the corner of the pillow so hard that she quickly tore it apart, her teeth sinking into her lower lip.

At that moment, Tanya just wished she could pass out, so she wouldn’t have to feel the pain.

Cain saw her biting her lip, her tender lips instantly marked with bloodstains. He frowned slightly and pinched her little face with his big hand, forcing her to open her mouth, "Open your mouth."

She couldn’t bite herself; it would easily cause her to lose control, which was very dangerous.

Tanya was forced to open her mouth, her body starting to twist, trying to break free of Cain’s hold.

"Don’t move!" Serena quickly reminded, "I’ve reached a critical point, it could cause a hemorrhage."

Cain glanced over, seeing warm blood already spraying from Tanya’s shoulder.

"Stay still!" Cain said in a low voice, clenching his lips and holding her body down to prevent her from moving.

Tanya was so dizzy from the pain that her consciousness began to fade, her eyelids trembling as she wanted to close her eyes.

"Not good, Tanya’s blood pressure is dropping continuously, and her heartbeat is weakening. Cain, you need to find a way to keep Tanya conscious!" Serena urgently said.

Cain already felt that Tanya couldn’t hold on, as her skin was clammy without a trace of warmth.

Cain leaned in and pressed his lips to Tanya’s.

The cool yet supple sensation on her lips made Tanya snap her eyes open, seeing Cain’s handsome features quickly enlarge in her vision.

He hadn’t closed his eyes, just looking at her like that.

He... kissed her again!

Tanya’s mind exploded with a "boom," unable to think.

"Hold on, I’m pulling it out," Serena said at this moment.

The heart-piercing pain in her shoulder hit her instantly, causing Tanya to hiss in pain, biting down directly on her tongue.

At this point, Cain’s big hand cupped the back of her head, turning the gentle kiss into a deep one, domineeringly prying open her clenched teeth to entwine her bitten tongue...

He had kissed her in the hospital before, but it was just lips pressing together, without much movement. However, this time it was different, Tanya’s pupils contracted in shock as she stared at him.

What is he... doing?

After all, she’s just a 19-year-old girl, completely inexperienced in matters of love, both theoretically and practically. This was her first time realizing that this is what a... kiss is.

Cain had encountered many women over the years, of all types—slender, plump, pure, seductive—but he hadn’t touched any of them.

Now, she felt soft and smooth, much like the jelly he ate as a child, and had a sweet milky taste.

Her wide-open, black and white eyes stared at him, the pure innocence in her gaze unmatched. Cain felt like he was doing something wrong, swallowing his prominent Adam’s apple as he reached out to cover her eyes.

With a "pop," Serena took the opportunity to pull the sharp instrument out of Tanya’s shoulder, "Done, it’s a success."

Tanya couldn’t hold on, her eyes blacked out, and she fainted.

Cain immediately reached out to hold her in his arms, tapping her pale little face, "Hey, Tanya, wake up!"

Tanya didn’t wake up.

"Cain, don’t worry, the surgery was very successful. I’ll use a needle to stop the bleeding; Tanya will wake up soon," Serena said with a smile.

Cain pursed his thin lips, "I’m not worried, she’s my responsibility, I can’t let her die."

Saying this, he gently laid Tanya on the bed and turned to leave.

Leah Thorne watched her brother’s disappearing back, then used a warm towel to wipe Tanya’s dirty little face, "Serena, my brother is just stubborn. I think my brother has fallen for Tanya."

Serena was using the needle as she said with a joyful arch of her brows to Leah, "Leah, don’t worry, your brother has a heart full of love, so he understands love."

Compared to Justin Xavier’s elusive path of love, Mort Thorne understands love more.

Leah looked at Tanya, "When I first met Tanya, I thought she was too young and that my brother’s work was dangerous, needing a gentle and considerate sister-in-law. Now it seems I was wrong."

Serena curved her lips, "Tanya is the first girl I’ve met like this. In the autumn breeze and under gentle sunshine, ready to accept whatever comes her way with ease. Her emotions never depend on anyone else, nor does she need any status to validate herself. She acts decisively and candidly because of her strong and steadfast heart. Like your brother, Tanya has her beliefs; they both live for these beliefs."

...

Cain stepped outside, hands in his pockets, squinting his eyes slightly as the fresh air quickly dispersed the agitation in his body.

At this moment, Cain saw Justin Xavier standing ahead, tall and handsome.

The two men exchanged glances.
