Yunice said, “Wyatt, if you’re really feeling upset, I can help you sleep for a while.”
Wyatt locked onto her wording. You mean you’ll help me sleep, or let me sleep?”

Yunice looked at him. She had already prepared herself for the possibility that she and Wyatt might one day consum the marriage
She was just about to say, tf sleeping with me will help you feel better, then I’m okay with it.
But Wyatt cut her off before she could speak.
“I originally wanted to wait until yo were willing. But now it’s clear you’ll never love me, so I don’t want to pretend anymore.”
Yunice’s brows furrowed slightly. She stared into Wyatt’s eyes, trying to read the cold detachment in his gaze.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
Wyatt said, I’m done pretending.”
Realizing he wasn’t joking. Yunice immediately tried to stand up.
Wyatt pressed down on the back of her neck, keeping her from escaping.
Yunice snapped, “We’ve barely even started this act and you already want to drop it? I haven’t taken the bait yet”
She’d long known that what Wyatt loved most was being the hunter.
He was a patient hunter–he liked luring his prey into his trap little by little with sweet promises. Then, at the very moment the prey let its guard down and began to enjoy itself, he’d deliver the fatal shot.
Extreme joy, extreme pain–that was his game.
So even when Wyatt treated her well, Yunice always kept a sliver of caution in her heart.
She hadn’t expected him to run out of patience after just a few months.
Then again, for him, a few months was already pushing it. In the past, a month had been more than enough for any of the others.
No wonder he was tired of waiting
Wyatt gripped the back of her neck, his jaw clenched. His voice was low and rough. “Yeah, I don’t want to pretend anymore.”
Yunice tried to pull back, but Wyatt’s hand stayed firm–like he was holding a disobedient cat. She couldn’t move.
Wyatt’s gaze drifted downward, landing at her collar. “Take it off”
Yunice didn’t move. Anger swelled inside her.
She said. “I’m willing to give myself to you, but if you try to force it, I won’t.”
Wyatt challenged her. “And if Linsist?”
