Evan
I had a lot of work to do tonight. A Chinese
delegate was coming tomorrow to visit our
company and I had to make a presentation to
persuade them for a deal tonight. It seems like
I would have to spend the whole night
working.
I was lost in these thoughts when the door to
my room opened and Scarlet walked inside.
She waited for a minute or two, as-sessing me
with her keen eyes and then made her way to
the closet to change. She put a lot of efforts in
the dinner today and she looked disappointed
when I left the dining table early. But what
could I do? The deal is far too important for
me to lag around.
My whole focus was on the laptop screen
when I heard the sound of soft footsteps
coming from the closet towards me. I
momentarily lifted my head to look at her and
when I did, my whole body froze.
Scarlet was standing in front of me in her little
satin nightie without any sign of the gown to
cover her, her hair ruffled messily and a
reddish tinge on her cheeks. I tried to tear my
eyes away from her plunging ne-ckline but
failed badly. The look in her eyes told me that
I was in trouble.
“The room is hot today.” she said and flopped
down on the bed.
Nodding, I for-ced my eyes back to the laptop
screen because I still had a lot of work. I
couldn’t let myself be tempted tonight, if that’s
what she wanted to do. The focus had broken
now, the words on the screen felt like small
insects moving around.
From my peripheral vision, I enjoyed the sight
of her silky, smooth legs, sprawled against the
white bedsheet. The desi-re to feel her legs
wrapped around me aro-use d a part of me to
full glory and I shifted in my seat to hide the
uncomfortable bulge.
I cursed un-der my breath and tried my best to
keep my focus on the presentation. No, not
tonight. If she was trying to push my bu-ttons,
it was a very wrong time to do so. I nee-d to
work, I nee-d to work.
I got up from the bed and moved to my study
desk which was the safest option for me as
she would have out of my vision range. The
laptop screen strained my eyes and I blinked
few times. The shifting proved helpful and I
succeeded in bringing my focus back to my
work.
I was busy with the laptop when I heard some
movement behind me. I angled my ne-ck and
watched Scarlet who was walking slowly
towards the window. She had a shawl wrapped
around her ba-re arms and she looked
somewhat disappointed. Sliding the curtains
away, she ti-ghtened the shawl around her and
started looking outside throu-ghthe glas-s
window.
Her displeased face soured my mood. I never
deliberately hurt her but I always end up doing
something that made her disappointed of me.
She was too pure to get hurt like this. I don’t
know what sin she committed in the past to
be ended up with someone who couldn’t make
her happy.
Letting out a hu-ge sigh, I shut the laptop and
slowly walked behind her. She must have
noticed my presence but she didn’t say
anything. Her light brown hair looked radiant
and I controlled the urge to smell them. If I
remember correctly, her hair smell like vanilla
and cocoa powder, so does her hands.
“Don’t you feel hot anymore?” I asked and
stepped closer so there was very small
distances between my front and her back.
“No,” she replied in a dry voice. I leaned my
head to look at her face which was slightly
clenched.
I pulled my arm forwards and rested it on her
small wai-st. “What happened?” I whispered.
“Nothing.” She replied, even more dryly.
“Scarlet.” I muttered her name to gain her
attention.
She took a step forwards, freeing her wai-st off
my gentle hold. “Nothing happened, Evan. I
guess I’m just stupid to think you’d notice me.”
It shocked me to hear what was going inside
her mind. So she thinks I don’t notice her?
Does she really think she was someone who
could be easily ignored? Wish I could show
her the parts of me that thinks otherwise.
Sighing again, I rested my hands on her
shoulders and turned her around. Widening her
eyes, she frowned at my action. She looked
really cute when in anger; her mouth formed
into a pout and her bu-tton nose slightly
scrunched upwards. She was right when we
first met, she really had a baby face that
makes her look like a teenager.
I gently gripped her wrist and brou-ght her hand
towards me. Placing it on my che-st, I
whispered, “I don’t know if you can feel it but
my heart is beating really fast.” Her gaze
switched between my face and her hand on
my che-st. “That’s what you do to me, Scarlet.”
She gulped ha-rd and her mouth parted slightly.
Her brown orbs pulled me in towards her, like
an invisible thread, making me inch towards
her slowly. The innocence of her eyes was
magical and it made my heart pound against
my ribcage.
I brou-ght my hand to her cheeks and care-ssed
her smooth skin. At this, she closed her eyes
and slowly leaned into my touch. This moment
was perfect; nothing else existed right now. I
have felt like this before, with Eliza. All these
feelings were familiar but the reason was
different this time, it was Scarlet.
I snak-ed my arm around her wai-st and then
lifted her face by holding her chin. Her li-ps
looked really inviting and I knew I wouldn’t
stop until I had tasted them again. Lowering
my head, I slowly attached my li-ps to her soft
ones.
My heart stopped beating for a minute as she
responded to the ki-ss with full fervour. We
angled our faces to facilitate the contact of our
tongues which seemed to have a mind of their
own. I pulled her even more closer to increase
the friction between our li-ps.
I felt her arms around my ne-ck. Her eagerness
excited me and all the blood of my body
rushed south. To stop her from accidentally
discovering my ‘excitement’, I changed our
position and pinned her against the wall,
maintaining some distance between our body
while our mouths su-cked the souls out of each
others.
We ki-ssed for what felt like an hour, ha-rd at
first, slow later on. Our breaths mingled
together as we explored the nook and corners
of other person’s mouth. Her ki-sses made me
feel different, as if I was dead and now in
heaven.
When we were too tired of standing, I picked
her up in my arms and took her to the bed.
We lay down side by side, our bodies
interlinked together. She had a shy smile on
her face, her face red like a tomato because of
the long make out session. I ki-ssed her again,
this time on her forehead. Her eyes filled with
a strange emotion at this and she lifted her
head to ki-ss me again at my li-ps. Her
pas-sionate ki-ss led me to a wonderful sleep,
making the thoughts of work disappear from
my mind.
