BDSM SOCIETY: A Gentleman's Kiss

CHAPTER 17| Taste His Lips

Kaushan's POV

"Kill him."

I dropped the call and slid it on the table. I stared at her sleeping. Her brows furrowed and eyes squeezed shut. She had a sleep disturbance every night and even during siesta, similarly by now. Her lips quivered and cheeks flinching. Totally disturbed.

Damn that motherfucker!

I held her clenched hand and slowly massaged her creased head. She gripped my hand, head was cocked side to side.

"H-help..." My jaw tightened seeing her tears. I caressed her head and warbled a song. A minute had passed and her breath set to evenness.

He's dead now, baby. No need to worry. I said on the back of my head as I stared at her. I knew she had a dark past that even darkness was ashamed to show. She didn't want to talk about it and I didn't want to pressure her to speak it out either. From the day we first met, I couldn't forget her seductive smile reflecting in her eyes. I'd been aching to see it for so long now. It was implicating and enchanting.

She's absent for two days because of what happened, and I was accompanying her the whole time just like how I promised not to leave her. Hoping she could recover too soon.

When her grip on my hand loosened up, I placed a stuffed toy that I ordered a while ago on her chest and put her both arms over. I kissed her head and stood to prepare her for an afternoon refection.

"What are you doing?"

"Hey, did I wake you up?" I asked when I saw her hugging the teddy bear on my back. She shook her head.

"No. Where did you get that oven?"

"I ordered it." I smiled at her.

"Along with this teddy bear?"

I nodded. "Wait for me on the couch, it'll be finished soon. Are you hungry?"

"Not really."

I took the pizza out of the oven and strewed mozzarella and the sliced tomatoes over. With the food tray on my hands, I walked to the sala and sat beside her.

"Hot sauce?"

"I can manage." She took the sauce bottle on my hand. I knew she liked spicy foods, coffee, cheese and didn't want to eat take out foods. Even water offered by someone she didn't know.

"Do you want to go on the rooftop?"

She shook her head and ate a slice of pizza. "Pasok kana bukas. Ilang araw ka nang hindi pumapasok," she uttered. My eyes softened but she smiled. "I'll be fine."

And I clearly knew she's not. Even her eyes betrayed her. She's still anxious and upset about what happened.

"I will resign."

"What?" She hurriedly looked at me, astounded to what I said. "No, you don't do that. I'm fine if it's what made your concern."

"But I can't see it."

"I've suffered more than this before. I'm fighting. I'll overcome this. No need for you to resign."

I was considering this after what happened, been thinking it over and over again. I wanted her to move to my place, and she would only do that if one of us wouldn't be part of AU anymore.

"I've made up my mind."

Roisin's POV

"You can't do that!" I spouted. Nilapag ko ang bagong kagat na pizza pabalik sa plate.

Pinag-iisipan niya man lang ba ang desisyon niyang iyon? Kung sabihin niya iyon ay parang wala lang. Parang bagay lang na wala nang kwenta sa kaniya.
