Chapter 285: Waning Patience
Viviana couldn’t handle the intensity of him. She tried to calm him down, but he was not slowing down. He kissed her and Viviana found herself matching his pace in no time.
After the dry spell, Viviana felt like she found an oasis in the desert. She got drunk on his scent as he enveloped her. She touched him enough to convince herself that she was not dreaming. Leander was indeed holding her with so much passion. It was as if he was letting go of whatever he was holding back and came back to her.
Please be back, love. I miss you...
Leander finished after her while showering kisses on her forehead. Viviana hugged him and didn’t let go. She had a lot to ask him.
He slipped to the side. Wiping the perspiration on his forehead, she looked at him. As her slender fingers comforted him he closed his eyes.
Viviana opened her mouth to talk. Before a word come out of her mouth Leander opened his eyes. Viviana saw the barrier he’s been keeping up for some time. Her heart sank fearing what he’d say.
"Don’t ask me anything," he said kissing her ear. "Please, don’t..."
Viviana bit her lips. She so wanted to ask him what makes him act this way. But he does not want to talk about it.
But he cannot avoid talking about it. What is he even thinking? She didn’t know what to do. What should one do when the one you love is pulling away from you? What is the right approach?
It hurt so much.
Was her inexperience in a relationship the bad guy here? She couldn’t understand a thing. Just a minute ago they were wrapped so tightly that not even air got between them. They were what they were best. They were lovers.
But now, she felt like this deep chasm was between them.
