Temptation

21

"Okay, I'll see," he said.

I didn't say anything.

"By the way, what time is it?" Vernon asked.

I took a glance at the clock, "A quarter to nine."

"Let's sleep early tonight," he said with a drowsy voice.

I don't feel sleepy, but I'm kind of tired too.

"Won't you have your dinner?" I asked.

He shook his head lightly, "I don't feel like eating. If you're hungry, please suit yourself."

I nodded and headed downstairs to get myself something to eat.

...

"Hwaa!" I yawned. I went to my room and prepared myself for sleep. I wore a palazzo and a tee which I usually wear for sleep.

"Stay with me, tonight"

Uhh.

I took a mattress, a pillow and a blanket from the drawer in the large, wooden cupboard. I dragged the heavy set to Vernon's room and let go of them on the floor. Vernon was disturbed by the thud. He turned to look at me.

"Uh huh. Here," he thumped on the bed with his fists.

I will sleep with him? In one bed?

"No, I'm fine he--"

"Please," his voice lowered.

I stood there still, letting him fall asleep. When there were no more words from him, I finally stepped on the mattress to lay down.

"Abella, I want you to hold me while I sleep," he said with a croaky, brittle voice.

"Imagine I don't exist. Now try to sleep on your own," I said. It was hard for me to say this. I feel bad for him.

"Please," he pleaded. His voice was barely heard. I ignored him and laid down on the mattress.

...

I can't sleep. I feel bad.

"I want you to hold me while I sleep"

What should I do?

I extended my neck upwards to see if he was asleep. He was changing sides frequently. He can't sleep too.

Sigh.

I slowly got up and sat on his bed.

Should I lay down beside him? I thought of it several times.

I shook my head and stopped thinking. I laid myself sideways and placed my hand on Vernon's back. I rubbed his back with my hands to help him fall asleep.

"Thank you," Vernon spoke from his side. I continued to knead his back.

...

Vernon's POV

She looks beautiful when she's asleep. Those eye lids closed, highlighting her big eye lashes. Her lips so puffed. Her cheeks pigmented in light pink. I pecked her forehead as I watched her sleep peacefully. I shuffled her hair. I slowly ran my hands down her arms, moving to her waist.

"Pleasing," I spoke between my breaths.

My hands slowly brushed on her soft, smooth belly, feeling the warm surface.

I could feel the strange stimulation inside me. My hands were automatically running itself through her pajama, moving between her thighs. My fingers moved towards the edge of her pajama, slowly sliding it down. My internal carnal desire was taking itself farther and deeper. I was out of my mind. I sniffled her nape, placing my lips on her skin, smacking around every inch of her neck and shoulder, slowing down a bit. I could feel each and every breath and pulse inside of me. I wasn't aware of where I was taking this.

"Oh, you surely drive me mad in temptation, because it tastes so good," I spoke between the smooches in satisfaction. I continued to move down to her smooth upper chest, tempting myself with the taste of her skin.

"W-what are you doing?!"
