Lydia

Chapter 17 "Separation"

Irene

A few days later

"Rolf come on please!!" I said trying to push him away "I don't want them to see us!!"

He took his lips from my neck and looked at my eyes.

"What's the matter?? My men can't see us, we are far from them.." he said huskily

Actually I didn't care about his men at all. I was sure that they wanted their lives and they would never try to spy us while we were making out.

All I cared about was Frederick. Since we admited our true feelings for each other and kissed again, Rolf's kisses seemed to me more unbearable than any other time. Also I felt ashamed, I didn't want Frederick to see me making out with his brother, he knew that I was forced to do it, but I knew he was in pain too. So I didn't want to make him suffer more.

"I know but.. still.. I feel embarrassed.." I said

"Although I like the fact that you are still shy around me, it isn't necessary for you to feel like that my caryatid. Maybe they don't see us but they know about our relationship, it's obvious for us to want some privacy.." he said pecking my lips

"Maybe but.. you know me.." I said "It's different when we are in your office.."

"Even then you are still a little shy.. maybe more than any other time.." he said "You act a little strange those days.."

I gulped.

"No.. don't think like that.." I said "It's because many things happened those days. My sister is a widow now.. she stayed all alone with a child, she had many works to do and we had to help her. All of us are emotionally pressurized. There's no problem with you.. for real.."

"I told your sister to take her husband's money if she wanted but she didn't accept." He said "She is so haughty!!"

A wave of anger coursed my body. How did he dare to talk like that about my sister??

Relax Irene!! Please!! I pleaded myself

"Lydia is a very good girl.." I said "She just doesn't change her mind about some topics so easily.."

"It's not my fault.. I tried to help her.." he said arrogantly

"I know honey.." I muttered

He pecked my lips. He was about to kiss me again, but I pushed him gently away when I saw Frederick coming.

"Your brother is coming.." I mumbled

I started trembling. I was always trembling when I was close to both of them. I was afraid of something bad was gonna happen, something that would reveal the truth.

I shivered under Frederick's penetrating gaze, he was always upsetting me in a good way.

Everytime he was getting closer, I felt like my body wasn't my own, like I couldn't control it. I was fighting with all my powers in order not to run by Frederick's side and kiss him lustfully.

"What's wrong brother??" Rolf asked when Frederick approached us

"Hans sended a telegram that came from Germany with a soldier here. The news you were waiting for.." he answered

"Oh yes.. excuse me for a little bit my love. I'm coming.." Rolf said

"Okay." I said back

"Frederick stay with Irene a little bit." He said again

His brother just nodded.

When we saw that Rolf was far enough from us, he talked.

"Why are you trembling??" He asked
