Carnal Seduction

Chapter Twenty Five

I stood at the door of my apartment breathing deeply, planning my escape to the bedroom, hoping the Nevaeh was busy doing something so that she wouldn't notice me quickly sneaking away from her.

I unlocked the door and opened it quietly and slowly, closing it in the same manner after I had entered the apartment. I peered around the wall of the small entrance way of the apartment searching for her, and found she was in the kitchen cooking dinner at the stove with her back to me.

Perfect. I thought to myself as I quickly walked away from the entrance towards the bedroom as quietly as I could. I sighed happily once I had made my way into the bedroom. I placed the bag on the bed, laying down the orchids beside it and reached inside the bag to put the engagement ring I had bought up inside the wardrobe behind a stack of books I had placed there in the past, knowing that Nevaeh wouldn't find it there.

Once I had hidden it well I made my way back over to the bed and removed the boxes that contained the necklace and bracelet, and placed them on the bed beside the flowers and hide the bag in the top of the wardrobe as well, making sure it too was well hidden.

I stopped instantly, after I had returned to the bed and had picked up the two boxes and the bouquet of orchids, and listened to the sound of sweet humming that came from the kitchen. Slowly I walked to the doorway of the bedroom, my eyes fixing on Nevaeh as I listened. Never had I once heard her sing or even hum a single note, but as I stood there watching her, listening to her hum, I found myself lost in awe.

I could not make out what the song was she was humming, for I wasn't sure if I had even heard it before. Whatever it was, she hummed it so beautifully, every note she hummed sounded so amazingly beautiful to my ears. I stood there, leaning against the door frame of the bedroom absolutely transfixed, unable to move, but once she began singing, I instantly felt as if the world around me dissolved, leaving only me and her as I listened to her beautiful voice.

After a few moments, I began to realise that she wasn't singing in english but in Mandarin, and I was left utterly speechless and amazed.

Whatever the song was that she was singing sounded absolutely beautiful. As if in a dream I slowly walked over to her, the hair on my arms pricking up due to the sweet sound of her voice as she sung and the feeling of goosebumps flowed over my entire body as I drew closer while she began to sing with such longing and passion.

I stood at the end to the counter, simply listening and watching her, feeling completely mesmerised and deeply in love, and as she turned around slowly, only to see me standing there with the flowers in my hand. She stopped singing instantly, her cheeks flushed with the deep colour of red, so much more than I had ever seen before as her hand slowly went to her mouth in her shock at me catching her sing.

I moved the hand which held the necklace and bracelet behind my back as she looked away from me shyly, bowing her head slightly, only to look at me again with a shy smile forming under her hand.

" That was beautiful, Your voice is amazing." I whispered to her, still lost in the trance she put me into with her voice. Vaguely aware of myself or what I was doing as I stared at her, only faintly feeling myself moved slightly backwards as she came closer to me and put the two boxes on the bar stool under the counter, keeping my back to them as she came to stand before me.

" These are for you my sweet one." I told her, unable to take my eyes off her as I placed the orchids in her hands, and saw her blush deeply while she gazed at them before she bent her head to inhale their scent.

" They are beautiful. Thank you." She replied in a soft whisper, before she leaned towards me, raising herself on the tips of her toes and kissed me softly.
