14 – Marianne
To my shock and dismay, I discovered myself lying naked on a bed in a hotel room.
My head started to throb as though it was being hammered repeatedly, and I had the sensation that lightning was trying to enter my brain. I thought I was going to pass out and die. Slowly, I realized that I wasn’t the only one in the room.
“Hey, are you okay?”
As soon as I turned around, I saw Ryan standing there. Suddenly, I realized what was going on. While he was fully clothed from head to toe, I was currently naked. I quickly pulled the blanket, then wrapped it all the way around my body.
“Nothing happened, Marianne. When you first woke up, you fell and puked on your dress, so I took it off you to clean you up a bit. Umm, even your undergarments….” Ryan explained while holding back a blush.
I wouldn’t call myself a particularly conservative person. I recall that I was only wearing a one-piece dress, and I found that it could be challenging if I did not control the amount of alcohol I consumed. But the fact that Ryan saw my body made the situation even more embarrassing.
“Marianne… I’m not trying to pry, but are you really all right?” Once more, Ryan questioned me while looking at me with an expression of concern and anxiety.
I gave him a warm smile and nodded. Ryan went outside to pick up the clothes he had bought from the convenience store in the area, and then he handed them to me. I hurriedly got dressed as quickly as I could.
I had a sense of gratitude and was planning to express my appreciation to Ryan when all of a sudden, I began to feel lightheaded once more, so I went to the bathroom.
As we were leaving, Ryan asked me, surprised and concerned, “Marianne, could it be… you’re pregnant?”
I froze. Then, with a chuckle, I pretended to be innocent and asked, “What are you saying? You know I’m not married, so there’s no way that’s possible.”
Before continuing, Ryan let out a deep sigh. “My sister is also pregnant and she is currently having the exact same symptoms you have right now. You know, I personally don’t think it’s good for you to drink either. It would have been better if you had informed me…”
Ryan’s sweet side reappeared, and it warmed my heart. I couldn’t help myself and burst into tears as I finally admitted and told him my current state. “This can’t happen… My son must not know.”
Ryan seemed to think I was worried Jack would find out I was pregnant with another man; what he didn’t realize was that Jack was the father of the child in my womb. He remained silent as he listened to me and offered me comfort. A short time later, he took me home, where Jack was already waiting for me. It was nearly two o’clock when I arrived.
“Aki, what’s the matter? Why are you still awake?” I asked as I spotted him first. I knew that tomorrow would be his day off, but it was still not a good idea to stay up so late.
“Who were you hanging out with at that time?” Jack greeted me as soon as I walked into the apartment. He was supposed to be asleep by now, but I could tell by the look in his eyes that he had been struggling to keep them open as if facing me now was more important than anything else.
I placed my bag down on the kitchen counter and reached for a glass of water. I felt like my throat had been too dry for the past few hours. “He’s a client I’ve previously worked with. Your aunt Jonah knows him, too.”
Jack gave me a look as though he wanted to say more, and I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was itching to ask questions. But he looked down at the floor, his mouth shut, and he didn’t say anything else after that one question from him.
I took a deep breath and tried to relax my body. “Good night, Aki. You should get some rest,” I told him and was about to turn around and walk away when I felt a hand grab my wrist.
I was surprised by Jack’s actions. Our gazes met, and my heart began to race. Time seemed to fly as we waited to see who would do something first. With our distance, I could clearly hear his breathing – low, raspy, and ragged. I didn’t even realize I was doing it, but I swallowed hard and continued to stare at him.
The man who had recently been on my mind and in my heart, Jack, was standing in front of me.
Time seemed to stand still as we finally closed our distance. I closed my eyes as our lips touched. Jack drew me in closer and gave me a passionate kiss. I almost dropped the glass I was holding because of how fast he moved. After a few moments, I found myself sitting on top of the counter with my legs spread out while Jack kept devouring my mouth.
We were both trying to catch our breath as we tasted each other. There was no way for us to discuss what had happened back then, but it was happening again right now.
Jack took his time removing his top while simultaneously reaching his hands under the shirt I was wearing. I could feel his relatively cold hands as he massaged my legs and waist. His kisses were sweet, hot, and filled with desire and longing. It was as if he was never going to leave my lips, that much was clear to me.
As he took off my lower clothing piece by piece, he passionately kissed me on the mouth, his palm moving slowly up the insides of my thighs as his mouth moved on to my neck and began to kiss my tender spots in an addicting manner.
I moaned, closing my eyes as I gave in to the overwhelming feeling of affection that he had for me once more.
Jack’s kisses on my neck became more aggressive which caused me to moan louder and yelp. He didn’t wait for another second to pass before rubbing his stiff lower region at my already waiting entrance.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Inside, I was filled with excitement and nervousness. We had sex before, but it felt as if it had happened a very long time ago. No matter how hard I try to deny it, I also want it to happen again. One, two, three times – at this point, I embarrassingly believed and felt these numbers wouldn’t be enough to satiate my desires any longer.
