Loving You For All The Right Reasons

Chapter 16

Rylee stared at Luke for several uncomfortable seconds before she finally spoke.

"We need to make matters clear between us. "

"....Ye... Yes, you're right. And I apologized. Truly. It...it won't happen again. "

"Look Luke, I... " Lost for words, Rylee refrained and found herself at the couch.

Their short encounter made both of them immobile.

"I think it's...it's late. We need to...to...rest now. " Rylee insisted trying to calm herself.

Luke is still deeply troubled. "Hey Ryl!" He said in a sweet low tone voice.

" I... just miss you so much. I do."

Rylee's' eyes widened and before she could react, he is embraced by Luke once and for all. He hugged her so tight it warms her. She feels like she is in another universe receiving a pure energy of genuine care and...love? She felt a sense of completion. Her tiredness disappeared in an instant. She is so much happy that she hugged him even more to reciprocate his genuineness. It is so far the best thing that ever happened to her. Their foreheads meet and he asked, "Are...are you free tomorrow? "

"Ye... Yes. "

" Let's spend some time together. "

"O...okay."

They were silently aware that their presence made each other nervous for the nth time.

As Luke tried to settle himself uncomfortably on the couch, Rylee spoke, " Sleep beside me again. I knew you've been sleeping beside me for almost a month now. " She smiled.

"...ah..eh... you do?", he replied while absentmindedly rubbing his neck with his right hand. "I'm sorry. "

"Hmmm...so there's no point in trying to rest at the couch tonight." She spoke as normally as she could trying to hide the awkwardness of the situation.

"Are you sure? I mean...the couch...Okay..."He surrendered, scratching his head and walked as fast as he could to bed, like a thunder, before Rylee changes her mind. This made Rylee laughed but hide it nevertheless.

"Luke, you don't have to do this every night, really. I'll be fine by myself." She added.

She'd been used being alone ever since she was employed seven years ago. Her job requires her to move from city to city replacing an employee who either applied for a sick leave, vacation leave or a maternity leave. She had been in this, all by herself, with no one to lean on, trying to assure herself that it is really not a problem as long as she has a job to support her family. But, somehow, this had been a cycle to her... so tiring... so boring...but not anymore since Luke came.

"Goodnight Rylee." He heard Luke in a low tone voice. Her mind and heart is asking for more with Luke...more of his hugs, more of his kisses, more of all of his...of what he can do to her.

"I love you". Are the unspoken words she made boomed in her head but had not come out of her mouth.

He is killing her. His flirting, his presence, his being beside her, him being a gentleman. It was too much. Her mind went crazy thinking and is about to explode. She was lost in thought for a while, unaware that Luke cuddled her, made his way to her. He is breathing rapidly. His voice became husky. "I really want to do this every night with you." His familiar-heavenly masculine scent filled her. He gently wrapped Rylee's waist with his long arms at the same time moving her so they will face with each other. His fingers continue rubbing his back and drawing small invisible circles...until, she felt her eyes voluntarily closed...but, is very well aware of the awakened desire for him...

....Suddenly, a blast of very strong sexual desire whipped through her, urging her to deal the same with what exactly he want him to do to her...
