Chapter 244: Take care of you (1)
Annalise’s excitement to be alone with Rafael with how little he was dressed grew the second their lips touched and they kissed again. Despite the fact this was the third occasion that she had kissed him, Annalise felt that the way they kissed each other was as if they had been doing it for months.
It had to be how much they liked each other or that they held off being with each other for too long. Mostly her since Rafael had been patiently waiting to be with her. Had she known it would have felt this good she would have done it earlier.
Already, she felt his tongue slip inside her mouth, kissing her with more passion compared to the other two times. She didn’t think it was possible for him to kiss her to this degree to have her feeling more of how much he wanted her, but she was proven that there were new heights Rafael could take her to.
"Wait," Annalise said, pulling away from the kiss and stopped tiptoeing since it was getting unbearable. Before Rafael would misunderstand, she brought his attention to another issue she was having. "It is too tight," she said, touching the corset Beatrice tied tightly to help with her shape. "I have never been more tortured."
Annalise found it almost hilarious that the things that made her feel pain all concerned her dressing up as a lady. The shoes, the corset, the dress that limited how she wanted to move, and the pins to keep her hair from coming out of place.
Rafael took a step back to look down at how the corset was tied. He could faintly see that her skin was red just where the corset was tied. He quickly worked on untying it to help her breathe.
"Before you go deeper into how much you love me, know that I would love to wear pants instead of dresses. It is uncomfortable to walk around in these things. Beauty is not worth the pain for me. Thank you," Annalise sighed in relief as the corset loosened.
She bent over to place her hands on the bed and took a few breaths to bring air back into her body. She was not used to these things for a reason. All of these things to look good for a few hours did not suit her.
"I’m sure you must be enjoying the view while I was nearly on my deathbed. We are lucky that I did not pass out in the middle of our kiss," Annalise said.
