Bites & Addiction - Chapter 20：Let's have sex

I’d decided that I would take dinner for Roman to his room along with me when he gets home so I could talk to him personally about consummating even if I wasn’t able to stand on my own feet since I’d a fever.

Tiptoeing, I went to the kitchen and started settling meal for him like an experienced chef as if I were.

But I’d tried my best to make the appearance good though with garnishing it.

“Perfect!” I said quietly to myself as I didn’t want to make any fuss about telling the other about my ‘mission: consummate and get free’

In the meantime, I heard some noises so I turned on the light, but instantly my heart beat risen in horror as I was about to being hit by a baseball bat.

“Whoa! Calm down tiger!” I huffed taking the baseball bat from her and putting it aside.

“Flora? What’re you doing here at this time?” Stella frowned being stunned from my presence. “Do you have any idea about my ECG report? Dang girl! You just scared the hell out of me.”

Oops!

I plastered a fake smile and lied, “Umm….I’m a sleepwalker, you know and this is always been a bad habit. There was a time when I had to tie myself before sleeping so I wouldn’t walk into my parents’ bedroom.”

Her eyes went narrowed and she was staring at me with hawk like eyes that made me drop my fake smile instantly, but after a moment I managed to plaster my smile back on my face and gave her a sheepish grin.

Crossing her arms against her chest, she said, “Do you usually make dinner with a perfect garnishing over it when you sleepwalking?”

I agape, my mouth fell open and I mentally face palmed myself seeing that I might’ve gotten unmasked by detective Stella.

I was about to come up with a lie but she interjected, “You shouldn’t have come downstairs you know, you should’ve just call me if you’re hungry. You need rest, Flora.” She seemed troubled and her tone was full of concern. “You had me worried last night when you came home unconscious…and now you’ve got fever.”

I felt a tuck in my heart as I realised that she was really worried about me. “I’m feeling better than before because of antipyretic that you gave me” I assured her while squeezing her hands. “And I’ll get more better till tomorrow, relax okay.”

She smiled at me and squeezed back my hands. “Do you want anything else—like milk.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll manage it.” Quickly, I picked up the plate of food that I’d prepared for Roman and walk passed her. “Good night!”

“Good night.” She mumbled, still in confusion.

I let out a sigh and knocked on the door. When he didn’t reply I opened the door slowly and popped my head in.

“Hi!” His eyes shot up as soon as I stepped into the room. He was lightening the cigarette, his suit jacket was on the bed that left him in his white shirt—sleeves fold upto the elbow, and it was tucked under his black pant.

Upper two buttons of his shirt were undone revealing his sexy chest that made me drool, but I swallowed it.

“How are you feeling now?” He asked in his deep and sexy voice.

“I…I…” This is embarrassing how I’m stuttering in front of him. Clearing my throat, I replied, “Better.”

He nodded, his gray eyes were still staring at me like a predator to its prey.

“I thought you must be hungry so I brought you dinner.” I said reluctantly as his piercing gaze penetrating my soul. “A…Are you h…hungry?”

Immediately his eyes clouded and he gulped hard, “You have no idea how much hungry I am.”

Come to me. Come to me, Tiger.

Suddenly, he averted his intense gaze and turned around, so his back were on me. “Thanks for the food, but you can go now.” He said as he exhaled deeply, “I’m not in a good mood right now and it will get even worse if you stay here one more second…..and at last it’ll be not good for both of us.”

Why he’s trying to avoid me? He was the one who always wanted to get me into his bed, then why not now? What’s wrong with him?

Mystified from his behaviour, I said in a soft voice, “Hey, I know you’re hurting…but, you’re not alone, okay? You can’t keep it all inside, you know? Bottling it up won’t do any good.”

He stiffened, hearing my soft and gentle voice as I tried to console him and let him know that he wasn’t the only one who was hurting.

There was a very tense, awkward, and uncomfortable silence in the environment.

After awhile when he didn’t respond and continued the chain smoking, I broke the heavy silence and snapped, “Chain smoking might lower the tension but it wouldn’t help in lowering your pain.”

“Go away, Flora.” He said nonchalantly and I gasped seeing his reaction.

I sighed dramatically, “It’s a fact that if a person smokes cigarette then it won’t harm him as much as it harm the others who are around him.”

He immediately turned around and narrowed his eyes. “That’s why I smoke cigarette.” And with that he walked over the bathroom leaving me behind frowning from his reaction.

I thought it would be easy as I’d go to him and he’d throw himself on me and I wouldn’t refuse this time, and finally we would end up having sex. But my plan got flopped due to his sudden mood change.

Plan A- flop

Now….hang in there Flora, You’ve got plan B.

And that’s what I’m doing right now.

Come on tiger, time to get out of the den now.

I’d been waiting for him after putting the dinner plate on a table and rather getting bored, I chose to stare the stars shining so far in the dark sky.

Immediately, I turned around when I heard a cracking sound of door.

My mouth fell open, pupil dilated and I loudly gulped when I saw half naked Roman, a white towel hung around his lower half body, his hair was wet from shower that made few drops of water dipping from his hair following a path along with his abs to a V line that just disappeared under the towel.

I gulped.

Lucky towel.

His brows knitted as he said, “You’re still here.”

My eyes drifted to his, and taking a deep courageous breath I directly came to the point and finally commanded, “Let’s have sex!”
