Chapter 167. A Funny Taste
Mauve brought her uninjured hand to her face. To say she was embarrassed was an understatement. It didn’t help that Jael never took his eyes off her face, every time she opened her eyes he was staring down at her.
Now that she saw him do that there was no way she would be able to look him in the eye. Her body still tingled from the aftermath and she knew she was flushed all over.
She felt movement and peeked out of the middle of her finger to see Jael in a sitting position. She felt him wipe her clean and Mauve closed her eyes shut.
He adjusted her underwear and carefully lifted her waist. Mauve jerked when his cold hands touched the small of her back.
"Relax," he said. She could hear the amusement in his voice.
"I am," she said under her breath. It’s not her fault his touch made her jittery. She could literally feel the intention behind them.
She was a little sad they couldn’t go all the way but she knew it was because he didn’t want to hurt her. Well, more like she was assuming that was the reason, she didn’t have the heart to ask him. She couldn’t even think of how she would phrase the question.
Just the thought of asking could her to redden more and it made her entire body warm. If she did ask, she knew she would die of embarrassment. She swallowed her question and let him move her body around.
With her waist slightly raised Jael proceeded to pull down her dress. His hands trailed over her dress and Mauve shivered. He pulled his hands away and Mauve heard him get out of bed.
He returned not long after and lay beside her. "How do you feel?" He asked. "Do you need anything?"
She shook her head, still refusing to look at him. He stretched out his hand and pulled her palm from her face.
