My First Love Died, Now My Step Uncle Wants Me-Chapter 50: It’s Useless to Be Scared

She lingered in the changing room for a while, but there was no way around it. She couldn’t very well go into the spring fully clothed. Squeezing her eyes shut, she changed, then held the clothes she’d just taken off in front of her as she slowly walked out.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw that Caleb Rhodes had already changed.

His exposed upper body was lean and powerful, an inverted triangle. The clear lines of his muscles stretched from below his neck down to his well-defined abs, which then disappeared beneath the towel wrapped around his waist.

It had to be said, Caleb Rhodes was like two different people with his clothes on and off.

Dressed, he was lean and dignified, so nobly aloof he seemed utterly devoid of desire. Undressed, he looked like someone you shouldn’t cross. Coupled with his height and cold gaze, he was the very image of a merciless, stone-faced demon king.

Nina Wynn barely dared to look at him, clutching the clothes to her chest as she slowly made her way to the edge of the hot spring.

Her skin was exceptionally fair, a cool-toned white that held a faint, milky sheen.

Even though she was using her clothes as a shield, there were parts she couldn’t cover. Her exposed arms and calves were as pale and tender as lotus roots, tempting one to take a bite.

Caleb Rhodes’s gaze darkened. He watched as she reached the edge of the spring, cautiously dipped a small foot into the water to test the temperature, then pulled it back out.

Then, she quickly glanced up at him. Seeing that he was watching her, she immediately blushed, clutching the clothes in front of her, unsure of what to do.

Just as Nina Wynn thought Caleb Rhodes would walk over to her, he entered the hot spring by himself instead.

He found a comfortable spot, leaned against the edge of the pool, and closed his eyes.

Nina Wynn breathed a sigh of relief and slowly slid into the hot spring as well.

The temperature was a little high, but a natural hot spring like this was truly comfortable. The air was filled with the faint smell of sulfur and perhaps a hint of fragrant herbs. It was hazy and soporific, making it easy to fall asleep.

In a state between sleep and wakefulness, she felt herself being lifted.

Opening her eyes, she was met with the sight of a powerful chest and a handsome, aristocratic face.

Her sleepiness vanished in an instant. "Uncle..." Nina Wynn stammered.

Then she realized the clothes she’d been using for cover were long gone. The sensation of skin against skin made the air feel suddenly scorching.

She didn’t know if it was because of the man in front of her or the water of the hot spring.

Even the tips of her ears flushed a deep red.

Nina Wynn struggled, trying to break free from Caleb Rhodes, but he simply lifted her out of the water and set her down on the edge of the pool.

"Don’t move. I’m going to check something," he said, his voice laced with hoarseness.

Nina Wynn felt the heat of his palm was frighteningly high, and the deep meaning in his eyes scared her. She didn’t dare move anymore, obediently letting him hold her as she sat.

With her makeshift cover gone, all she had on was the pitifully small swimsuit.

Everything it was meant to cover, and everything it failed to, was on full display.

Her skin was truly snow-white, and now, flushed a faint pink from the heat of the spring, she was unspeakably bewitching.

Her breasts were also bigger than he’d imagined, and her waist was so slender it looked as if the slightest pressure could snap it in two.

She was clearly very slender, feeling weightless and ethereal in his arms, yet dressed like this, she somehow managed to look quite curvaceous.

A true natural-born siren, the kind a man could never get enough of.

Caleb Rhodes narrowed his eyes, his gaze landing on the scar on her torso.

The fully healed scar was a good dozen centimeters long, stitched together crookedly, resembling a pink centipede.

A cold glint entered Caleb Rhodes’s eyes. The pad of his finger traced the scar slowly. "It really isn’t very pretty."

That feeling of inferiority seemed to well up from the bottom of her heart again. Nina Wynn lowered her head, her soft, pale hands pressed tightly against her sides. Her voice was tiny. "Are there any pretty scars?"

Caleb Rhodes didn’t answer, merely lifting her up again and placing her back in the water.

However, his arms around her did not loosen.

She was trapped between his body and the wall of the pool, with almost no space between them.

The slightest movement would cause their tightly pressed skin to rub together, creating a sensation that was exceptionally intimate and nerve-wracking.

Nina Wynn’s scalp tingled, and her heart felt like it was about to pound out of her chest.

She didn’t dare to move, nor did she dare to look up. Her hands pressed helplessly against the pool wall behind her as she panted softly.

Before she could form another thought, her chin was lifted, and Caleb Rhodes’s forceful lips and tongue claimed hers.

This time was different from before. He wasn’t just tangling with her tongue; he held her body captive as his dominant kisses trailed down her smooth neck, finally stopping at her elegant collarbone, where he bit down hard. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Nina Wynn’s body trembled from the pain. "Don’t do this... Stop... I’m scared..."

Caleb Rhodes’s scorching lips pressed against her delicate earlobe. His hand gripped her waist tightly, and his voice was almost unrecognizably hoarse. "Nina Wynn, being scared is useless."

Terrified he would continue downward, Nina Wynn trembled, trying to appeal to his reason. "We shouldn’t be doing this..."

Unfortunately, Caleb Rhodes had no intention of discussing family ties. He pressed her directly against the pool wall, his voice growing even lower and raspier. "Nina Wynn, you had better understand this: I am not your uncle. We have no blood relation. I am your man."

The hand gripping her slender waist suddenly yanked her hard against him. The possessiveness in his eyes was both obsessive and intense. "And as for what a ’man’ is... don’t tell me you don’t understand."

The instant her body was pressed completely against his, Nina Wynn’s eyes flew wide open.

So inexperienced with the ways of the world, she was shaking in terror. His whole body was so hot, and not soft like a woman’s, but so hard she felt like she was pressed against a wall of solid bronze.

Especially when she felt the frightening hardness of a certain part of him, she was so scared she was on the verge of tears. But she didn’t dare make a sound, merely biting her lip for dear life, her whole body trembling in shock.

This soft, easily bullied appearance didn’t soften Caleb Rhodes’s heart in the slightest; on the contrary, it only fueled his sadistic desires.

His large hand clasped her lower back, pulling her even tighter against him. The soft contact made his chest heave violently, and his voice grew breathless.

"Nina Wynn, I can’t hold back anymore."

With that, he lowered his head and rasped in her ear, "Either it happens today, or you figure out a way to calm me down yourself."

Nina Wynn’s eyes were wide, her body trembling nonstop as she repeatedly pushed at him. "No, I don’t know how... I don’t want to..."

As if he would let her go, he grabbed her flailing hands. "You only have two choices. Be a good girl. This day was going to come sooner or later. Don’t be afraid."

With her hands restrained, Nina Wynn grew even more frightened, curling up in terror. "No, don’t, please don’t..."

Caleb Rhodes slowly nipped his way down her delicate neck, each touch sending a new wave of shivers through her.

Like a small animal cornered and with no way out, she suddenly squeezed her eyes shut and bit down hard on his shoulder.

She used almost all of her strength. Soon, the metallic tang of blood filled her mouth.
