Chapter 21 - If you're that scared

"Just let me hold your hands okay?"Eva said to Shaun ,why did she ask that ? Cause she was afraid of losing a step in the new shoes he got for her. She always wore heels thet she was able to walk in instead of these ones. Shaun extended his hand to her and she held his hand tightly , he sat at the edge of the bed pulling her along with him ,she gasp sitting on his lap . "'Why did you do that?"she asked him .

"Cause I got tired of standing and we've been walking in these for hours. So I thought maybe a break will do."he said looking at herself bruised ankles and he reached his hand to take off the shoes ,lifting her feet to rest on his thighs she didn't struggle he made a mistake by buying her heels maybe sneakers next time or a yatch or a real estate ? He thought as she was getting more and more self conscious of her nightdress revealing her thighs or even more. He massaged her feet ,she sucked in a deep breath although she did appreciate his care towards her it was new and very intimate .

"I got it ,I'll go get the first aid kit."she said rushing to get off his lap but he grabbed her by her waist making sure she isn't going anywhere . "Your ankles and soles are hurt . Be a good little bird and let me fix my mistake okay ?."he said putting her gently on the bed,he left to find the first aid kit while she grabbed a soft small knitted blanket and put it over her things and legs just leaving her feet exposed. Just a few days ago Shaun has been different towards her more attentive even though she didn't know why she took his words seriously from that family owned hotel . And whatever happened after that ,except the day they arrived and she was playing with the dogs.

His mood became even more sour after answering whatever call he got that day. When she asked about it ,he would just kiss her and ask if she was scared of a real man making love to her and yes she was not ready yet. Anything can happen between them since he is a crazy maniac who just fell inlove or pretending . She thought , he came back with a first aid kit and sat on the bed again putting her feet on his lap . Gently cleaning the wound with antiseptic and then applying ointment and finally a band aid . He didn't say anything and neither did she , after he was done he kissed her toes ,then her ankle and her legs pushing the blanket away.

She was shocked but let him do it anyways .

"Are you sure this isn't an act?"she asked him and he paused from kissing her legs. He looked up into her eyes ,"Act for what ?"he asked her back . "Just to make me fall for you so I won't run or to tame me ?"she said and he chuckled. "I'm not running on options here . There are plenty of women out there I've had them what's wrong about trying to get a dime for myself ?"he asked her back and she shrugged , "I don't know. Maybe I'm so scared or being treated like a dime by the same person who i know can destroy me ."she said running her fingers through her hair. He pulled her by her legs and made her sit on his lap both her legs on each side of his body .

She gasped and held on to his shoulders tightly cause she was scared of falling on her back backwards , "Now why would a grown man like myself lie about his own feelings when he's already turning into a fossil ?"he asked her ,she held back her laughter her eyes darting away from his gaze. "I'm telling you , you have to trust me little bird. I'm taking my chances on what could be great between us ,if we could just let our prides aside you see. Unless you're scared I'll let you down?"he said softly . "Then can I do this ?"she asked him and he nodded his head . She first pecked his lips, slowly looking into his eyes. "Don't touch me unless I seek for it ."she said softly and he nodded his head. His hands planted on the bed

She kissed him softly and slowly ,which he reacted hy kissing back. Then she pulled back , then again and again until he didn't pull back just kissing her she wrapped her arms around his neck. Her fingers digging into his hair as he took that as a signal to touch her. He wrapped her arms around her waist pulling her body closer to his ,his finger tracing her spine since the nightdress she was wearing was a backless one. She pulled back for air but he didn't stop there. He kissed her neck while pulling on her skin , he thought why not leave a mark since she's going back to her dorm tomorrow. She gasped and softly moaned ,pulling his hair on his nape he groaned and stopped . If she isn't a cat then he really doesn't know what she is. Both of them starring into each others eyes gasping and catching their breath .

"Did that gain your trust ?"he asked her his voice deeper than before she bites her bottom lip and nodded her head. He got her off him pulling blankets over her and he joined her. He didn't want to touch her yet , only if she trusted him enough the he would.
