Karen clamped her lips shut, taking her place in the passenger seat and waiting patiently.
She couldn't help but sneak peeks at Jeffrey's lap, noting with a suppressed giggle that the situation hadn't deflated much. It was almost comical.
It hadn't been that long since their last tumble between the sheets. Was he always this sensitive? The atmosphere in the car grew thick with awkwardness for almost ten minutes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKaren was about to break the silence again when Jeffrey cleared his throat, "Um... could | possibly use your bathroom?" He needed a cold shower.
He had really overplayed his hand earlier, kissing Karen with such fervor that now he was in quite the embarrassing predicament.
Trying hard not to burst into laughter, Karen thought of every sad thing she could to stifle the giggles, "Sure, follow me upstairs.” In the bathroom, Karen's cheeks flushed as she listened to the sound of Jeffrey showering. She had never considered him in a romantic way before, let alone as a potential husband.
But now, things were different.
"Is it okay if | use your towel?" Jeffrey suddenly called out from inside.
Karen touched her heated face, then walked over to the door, "The pink one is mine, did you see it?" "Yeah." His voice trembled a bit, perhaps from the cold shower.
In no time, Jeffrey stepped out of the bathroom, his hair dripping wet, awkwardly wrapped in Karen's pink towel. He looked so out of place, especially in the small confines of Karen's room, his towering figure almost invading the entire space.
"You didn't have to take such a cold shower," Karen said, noticing his shivers and quickly draping a blanket over his shoulders.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeffrey adjusted the blanket and gave a big, toothy grin, "Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to enjoy our day out.” "You good to go now?" "Yeah," Jeffrey confirmed, turning to look for his clothes, only to hear Karen's voice behind him.
"We could have just... you know, instead of the shower." They had been intimate before. What was the difference now? Jeffrey froze for a second before slowly turning to face her, "Why didn't you say so earlier?" "I did, in the car. | started to say ‘maybe we could just..." but you cut me off, told me to be quiet!" Who's to blame here? Before Karen could finish her retort, she found herself suddenly lifted into the air and pinned firmly on the bed! Jeffrey's freshly chilled body contrasted starkly against her warm skin, causing goosebumps to erupt all over her body.
"What are you doing?" she exclaimed.
"It's not too late to make it happen now." Karen's eyes widened, the rest of her words swallowed down.
Jeffrey was impatient, not nearly as smooth and collected as before. He plunged forward without waiting for her to be ready.
"Ah... Jeffrey, it hurts..." "Try to bear with it," Jeffrey urged through gritted teeth. "After I've been with you, | haven't been with anyone else. Count the days, how long has it been?" Karen clutched his arms, glaring at him, "Who asked you not to see other women?" "Would | dare? Then you'd accuse me of playing around!" "I never stopped you—Ah! Are you trying to kill me?" With a forceful move, Jeffrey gave her a mild punishment, "Would you be happy if | was with other women?"
