You could just tell she was feeling hurt.
Hull raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”
Susanna rolled over in bed, clutching the comforter around her. Her voice was muffled. “Nothing. I’m fine.”
But she was obviously not fine.
Hull sighed. “Look, I know women from Portis City have all these big ideas about, you know, waiting for the right moment… maybe even saving it for their wedding night. But come on, that’s old-school stuff. Are people really still that conservative?”
Susanna’s eyes went wide. “Are we really having this conversation?”
Seriously. Was this the kind of thing you just talked about so casually?
Well, whatever, she had bigger things on her mind right now.
Hull, seeing she wasn’t answering, started rummaging through the medical kit, snapping on latex gloves. “Alright, pants down.”
Susanna sat up, alarmed. “I can do it myself.”
Just the idea of him telling her to take her pants off made her freeze up.
“Or I could ask the housekeeper to help, if you’d prefer,” Hull offered.
“You sure about that?” he added.
Susanna hesitated. Was she? No way. If the housekeeper got involved, she’d die of embarrassment. “I’ll do it.”
So, she braced herself, cheeks burning.
Hull gave her a look—intense, unreadable. Susanna squirmed under his gaze.
“Um… what’s with the look?” she mumbled. “Can’t I just do it myself?”
Hull shrugged, completely unfazed. “Feeling shy?”
Susanna glared. “Is that not allowed?”
Seriously, what was with this guy? He talked about stuff like this the way someone might ask if you wanted more mashed potatoes.
If she hadn’t already experienced firsthand how relentless he could be in bed, Susanna would’ve started to wonder if he even had a pulse.
But that was the thing—when it came to this stuff, he was just… indifferent.
Hull smirked. “I’ve already seen everything.”
Susanna groaned.
Just listen to him. Like he was saying he’d already had dinner.
So calm. So matter-of-fact. Like none of this fazed him at all.
Susanna clung to the last bit of dignity she had.
