Beautiful Sin [ ON HOLD ]

Chapter 28.

Teresa's point of view.

The feel of my pillow offered a familiar sense of comfort and safety as I sighed tiredly, waiting for slumber to hijack me any time soon. But with a mind made of stone, stubborn and chaotic, unwanted thoughts swarmed me , all of which centered on one person; Levi.

How dare he try to corrupt my mind with unwanted ideas that I'd trained myself from thinking about! How dare he caress my body in a way I knew not of!.How dare he ! Even Daniel never went that far.

Except the night he crawled into my bedroom balcony, tapping against the glass and I bashfully ushered him in. His eyes....a swirling brown, that seemed to make my cheeks flare. Brown like the chocolate he'd once offered me during the feast of St Valentine. The way his finger inadvertently slipped inside my mouth as he shoved a piece of that marzipan magic, catching me by surprise before we bursted into laughter. The ring of his laughter was like a welcoming embrace to my heart and soul.

When he tiptoed inside my bedroom, trying our best not to wake up my ever scrupulous Aunt. Without warning, his lips crashed against mine, taking me by surprise. We'd only kissed once but it still felt like it was my first kiss. Through the fabric of my silk night gown, his fingers trailed along my vulnerability,a path that led to a fantastic feel of erotism.

He shoved his tongue inside my mouth with such aggression that caused moan to vibrate through my vocal cords,wondering if he was on a mission to make me dizzy with lust.

The harsh tongue lashing from my Aunt echoed through the confines of my brain, You shall not dare explore any part of your body in a way that is not holy! God punishes those who sin sexually, No boy should coerce you into the path of fornication. All that seemed to blur as Daniel offered me a piece of what God deemed as unholy. Those fingers, holding me against the hardness of his body, afraid he'll lose me was all I needed to break my aunt's orders. That was all I needed to break God's commandments. Besides, I'd repent later and soon all would be forgotten. God is a forgiving force, right? Let me sin this once and I'll go down on my knees and pray.

What happened next was a surreal blur....an unexpected knock against my bedroom door that startled both of us. I recall how my heart dropped down to my stomach and begun to throb violently against it. I recall the ruthless wave of nausea that navigated my body as I fought the urge to heave. I recall how Daniel trembled beside me as we watched the doorknob twist.

I recall Daniel throwing himself under my bed in a swift move before the door flew open and the towering frame of my Aunt appeared standing behind the threshold. I was like a deer caught one headlights, rooted in the middle of my room, unable to move from the impending heart attack my aunt almost gave me. Her eyes darted curious glances inside my room before zeroing under my bed.

I stood like the pillar of salt lot's wife got turned into as she peered back to the city of Sodom and Gomorrah despite orders not to.

"He's under the bed, isn't he?" Still frozen in terror, I gravelly nodded. I'd soon regret that action as I saw my aunt stomp into my room, yanking my blanket that had created a fort under my bed. I've never seen a human so terrified as Daniel was that day. I've never seen my aunt so furious as she was that day. As she reached under my bed, wrapping her hand around Daniel's shirt and pulled him out recklessly.

He made puppy noises as my aunt tore him to shreds with her infamous glare. His lips quivered as he awaited his judgment. Then, a hot slap landed on his left cheek that caused him to sprawl on the wooden floor in a sharp thud. But that was not all. Reaching down at the cowering kid, my aunt grabbed him once again, like a ragdoll before landing another slap on his reddened face. Tears trickled down his flared cheeks, strings of mucus hanging down his nostrils like spaghetti.
