Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands - Chapter 146

146 Comfort and More

It felt strange for a doctor to offer to take me to the hospital. His eyes seemed to search my face looking for an answer to his question. His intense gaze only made me blush at his closeness.

“I’m fine now. Thank you and I’m so sorry for making you worry needlessly like this…” I apologized again.

This was all my fault. I should have known that something like this might happen. I should have been more careful. I should have paid more attention…

“Maybe you were just tired…or maybe…” Adrian said before trailing off.

“Excuse me?” I spoke up in my confusion.

“It’s nothing. I was just thinking of how scared you looked…” Adrian replied before he smiled a little my way.

For a moment, he looked so concerned that I thought that it might be best if I just told him everything about my fear and the cause of it. Would that make him feel less concerned about me?

“I…” I began before pausing.

Honesty, I wasn’t sure how to bring it up or how to tell him.

…..

“You don’t have to explain yourself. It’s my fault for pushing you to do so much. It’s been a long day and I guess you were tired. I’m so sorry for not realizing that…” Adrian apologized with a sorrowful expression on his face.

He probably didn’t know just how much more attractive his face looked when he showed so much care and concern. Adrian blaming himself just made me feel even more guilty about the whole situation. I better straighten out this misunderstanding before we both feel even worst about ourselves.

“That’s not it. The thing is…I’m scared of fire. It’s like a phobia. It’s quite embarrassing so I don’t like talking about it, but I don’t want you to misunderstand. When I saw the flames, I just got scared. That’s all…” I quickly explained.

“Pyrophobia…I see…” Adrian murmured as he nodded his head slowly.

I wasn’t sure if he believed me or not, but he didn’t look relieved or any less concerned than before.

“Umm…when I was younger, I got involved in a fire incident. I was very scared, and I guess…I’m still very scared now whenever I see a fire up close…” I told him honestly.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know about this. I should have been more careful,” Adrian apologized again.

“No, not at all. Please stop apologizing. You’re starting to make me feel very bad about fainting out of the blue like that…” I said before I tried my best to smile at him again to reassure him.

“You don’t have to force yourself. You’re still scared, right?” Adrian asked tenderly.

Adrian sat down on the bed and wrapped his arms around my body as he pulled me into his warm embrace. It was unexpected but I found myself relaxing easily in his arms. He held me close, and I let him stroke my hair as I pressed the side of my face against his chest. I could hear his steady heartbeat and it worked to calm me down.

“Your body is trembling, Elena. So just let me hold you, ok?” Adrian whispered softly from above me.

I didn’t know how to respond to his caring words, so I just nodded my head against his chest. No one needed to tell me for me to figure out that Adrian had probably been by my side all the time while I was sleeping. He must have been so worried.

His green eyes stared deeply into mine with concern and I started to feel even guiltier than before. Adrian is really so kind and gentle. When his face approached mine, I closed my eyes and offered up my lips willingly as I waited to feel his warm lips on mine. I sighed softly in pure bliss when his lips finally kissed mine gently. His kisses were soft and sweet. It made me feel all warm and safe inside but at the same time it started to make me want even more of him and his loving attention.

I wrapped my arms around his back as I began kissing him back slowly. My heart skipped a beat at the joy of feeling his lips curve up into a smile as we continued to kiss. I was no longer scared, and I had Adrian and his reassuring presence to thank for that.

“Mhmmm…” I moaned softly.

Adrian’s wet tongue probed my lips, asking for entry into the depths of my mouth and I parted my lips willingly to allow him entry. He kissed me aggressively and hungrily, his tongue exploring everywhere inside my mouth before grinding against my tongue. I moaned wildly into our ardent kiss before I started kissing him back. His hand moved to cup and grope my breast and I moaned even louder into our kiss. Adrian continued kissing me from various angles until my body writhed with desire underneath his.

I wanted even more of him. I wanted to feel him closer to me.

Suddenly, Adrian broke our kiss and retreated from me. I stared at him with a mix of confusion and disappointment.

“I’m sorry for getting so carried away. We don’t have to do this now, you should rest…” Adrian said before he smiled kindly at me.

Adrian got up and sat on the bed. I quickly realized that he must have been trying to hold himself back for my sake. However, that wasn’t necessary at all.

“Wait…” I called after him softly before he would leave.

“Elena?” Adrian called my name softly as he turned to face me.

The worried look and conflicted emotions playing on his face told me to correct this misunderstanding between us. Adrian was overly worried about me and that really touched at my heart; however, I didn’t want him to worry about me unnecessarily anymore.

“Adrian…can we…do it?” I inquired shyly.

Adrian looked at me with clear surprise at my blunt demand for us to continue at what we were doing. Suddenly, I felt shy. My words must have made him think that I was such a loose woman. His magnificent green eyes stared at me for a moment as he seemed conflicted and at a loss of what to do.
