A second, five, ten, went by without a word from Kim. Carl was secretly counting in his heartwaiting for her answer, to his chagrin, three minutes pa.s.sed by without her giving him an answer.Those three minutes felt like three hours to him. Uneasiness ate at his nerves as he did not know whether to be relieved or not. Her silence could mean he either had a chance with her or she could not turn him down. Carl wished it was the former.
Getting up from the couch, he walked up to her silently. Just a step away, he stopped then he stretched his hands to rub her dye-colored hair. "Take your time, I"ll wait for your answer."
After his words, he put down his hands and turned away. His eyes and chest hurt and his head was throbbing too but he did not want to influence her decision in anyway so he rushed to take a bath, hiding his saddened state.
Kim watched his back until he disappeared from view, she wanted to dash to his side and comfort him but she hardened her heart instead. How could she do that? What right does she have to chase after him when she was unsure of her feelings. She sighed heavily and collapsed on the couch, relieved he did not push for an answer.
Remembering the dye, she hurriedly got up, dusted the couch a few times with a napkin, then she headed to the kitchen. While she sat pondering about her feelings for Carl, he came out in his pyjamas, holding a blanket and a pillow. "You should go shower," he called out.
"We aren"t sleeping together?" She asked, her eyes a little widened.
"Sleep together, huh," he thought. He was not sure what her intentions were or why she asked. But wasn"t it a good sign? She was willing to sleep on the same bed with him. He wondered if he should turn her down or grab the opportunity to get closer to her.
A chance to get closer was the obvious choice. "Ok."
After spending almost an hour in the shower trying to get the color off her body, she stepped out of the shower in a little short and a sleeveless satin nightie. She hurriedly climbed into the bed and drifted to his side, to cuddle.
Even though his eyes were closed, he was wide awake. His racing heart betrayed his calm. Kim smiled silently and scooted closer to him.
Five minutes pa.s.sed by in utter silence, he could not stop his racing thoughts, all he wanted to do was flip over and kiss her. he got up from the bed, startling Kim, "Where are you going to?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"I can"t sleep here." He commented, casually picking up the pillow.
Kim sat up before asking, "Why can"t you?"
"Are you that oblivious? I"m not a saint or a priest besides you"re an attractive woman."
Her cheeks heated up. "We"ve slept together before." She nagged.
"May be you did, I didn"t." Opening the wardrobe, he pulled out the blanket. "Don"t go," she mumbled.
"What?" He turned around. With narrowed eyes, he asked, "Do you know what you"re getting into?" Seeing clear child-like eyes stare at him, his eyes darkened. Lasting for a few seconds. He quickly controlled himself.
"I"m still a man, I should go." He said moving to the door. Just before his hands turned the handle, she hugged him from behind. "I knew that before I let you in." "Was she even aware she was inviting him to take advantage of her?" He pondered. He dropped the blanket and pillow on the floor, then he placed his hands on hers. Her hands tightened around his stomach. "I"ll a.s.sume you like me." He whispered. He expected her to say something but he was met with silence. He turned around facing her but she lowered her head. Raising her chin, he questioned, "Is something wrong?" Though he was questioning her, he could feel the heat from her body extending to his through his fingers on her chin.
Why was she acting weird? It was unlike her. But he was met with teary eyes. They looked so innocent, he shuddered uncontrollably. Her lips were moist too, she probably licked them. A foreign urge to ruin her cropped up in his mind. He desired to take her innocence.
He didn"t think too much into his weird thoughts as he went along to taste her inviting lips. Sucking on them, seeking for permission to intrude. She granted him what he wanted as she parted her lips for him.
The temperature had increased with his sudden kiss but she did not plan on stopping him. It was what she wanted, what she needed. She wanted to feel him close to her. The sudden hunger and urge he stirred up in her made her tug on his shirt, demanding more.
In compliance, he led her to the bed. His lips not leaving hers.
