Alluring Temptation (Familiá Altamirano #1)

CHAPTER 16

The Aftermath

        I WOKE up so tired and sore. Nagising ako sa sinag ng araw na nagmumula sa bintana na tumatama sa mukha ko. I groaned softly and looked around before my eyes settled on the man lying beside me. My mouth fell open, and I did a small gasp when I saw Reeve sleeping beside me, naked.

His arms possessively wrapped around my body while my cheeks is resting on his hard chest, feeling his heartbeat. The mixture of his natural scent and the smell of after sex makes me feel fuzzy.

I also felt something hard poking my thighs. He was having his morning wood, and it's glued in my thighs! Oh my!

Sumilip ako sa ilalim ng kumot at tumingin sa katawan ko. I am now wearing a huge shirt, probably his but I am not wearing any panties underneath. Mukhang binihisan at nilinisan niya ako bago siya matulog.

I stiffened when he pulled me closer to him. Nakabaon na ang mukha niya sa may bandang leeg ko habang ang mga paa niya ay lagpas na sa kama at sa nakatakip na kumot sa aming mga katawan.

Muli akong tumingin sa kanya at pinagmasdan siya. I took advantage to admire his every feature. Walang duda, gwapo talaga siya. I suddenly remembered what happened last night, we drank red wine last night, but we were still both tipsy.

Namula ang buong mukha ko nang maalala kung paano niya niyanig ang buong pagkatao ko kagabi. I puff a breath and slowly remove his hand from my waist and boob. I need to get off the bed and prepare for work.

He stirred a bit, but he didn't wake up, making me breathe in relief. I made a mental note to talk to him after he woke up. We need to talk about what happened between us. We need to settle and clarify things.

I slowly and silently went straight to the closet to get my towel and clothes then I went to the bathroom to take a shower. The moment I took off my clothes, I muttered a curse when I saw myself in front of the bathroom mirror. I have plenty of marks on my chest, collarbone, and even on my groin! Oh, God!

But then, I also noticed my skin was glowing, and my cheeks are tainted in rosy pink. Is it because of what happened last night? Is this the after Sex glow? I thought it was just a myth, but apparently, it was true, and the proof is me.

"Maybe it was true all along," I muttered and went inside the shower.

I was enjoying the warm water flowing through my body when I felt strong arms snake around my waist, making me almost jump. I turned my body, and my lips parted when I saw Reeve.

"Lovely morning, wife," his husky bedroom voice made me blush.

"W-What are you doing here? I-I'm taking a bath," I asked frantically.

Hindi sinasadyang bumaba ang mga mata ko sa kanyang binti at napasinghap ako nang sumaludo ang kanyang iniingatang pagkalalaki sa'kin. Heat scalded my cheeks.

My heart beat thump when he leaned closer and kissed my cheek. "I want to join you for a shower. May I?" he asked casually.

Napalunok ako at umiling. "Ayaw,"

His lips rose in an amused way. "Why's that? Hmm?"

I gulped and looked away. "Because it's awkward,"

He chuckled softly making me stare at him with knitted brows. Bakit siya tumatawa? May nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko? Wala naman, ah?

"How are you feeling? Does it hurt?" he asked softly.

"I'm fine."

"Je suis désolé." My body jolted a bit when I felt his lips on my shoulders. "I tried so hard to be gentle last night," he muttered. "Are you sure you're okay?"
