I believed no woman could resist a man's praise at such times.
I was just about to thank him for the compliment when his hand began groping indecently. I gasped and shouted angrily," Theo Grant, you bastard! I said I don't want i t anymore yet you're still... Mhm."
What I thought was the end was just the beginning. I was sinking again and again, falling from the clouds and being brought back up to the clouds. I lost my sense of direction and drifted along with the wind.
When I was once again awake, I was gasping for air. I was lying on him with my eyes closed.
Theo's voice entered my ears. It was low and attractive. "Want to take a shower together?"
I instinctively shook my head. I was so tired that I did not want to move. He let out a leisurely and slight smile, seemingly extra happy.
Theo got out of bed and picked me up before walking into the bathroom.
The bathtub was not particularly big, but it was enough to fit two adults.
"I want to bathe myself," I said, my voice still a little hoarse.
He smiled slightly. "Let's do it together."
I opened my eyes and glared at him. "Get out, Theo Grant."
It was simply too risky to take a bath with him. I did not want to miss work today.
Theo wore a smile on his face. Not only did he show no sign of wanting to leave, but he even lit up a cigarette and started smoking leisurely.
The air was filled with the smell of tobacco.
I asked with a frown, "Why are you still smoking?”
I remembered he had quit smoking some time ago. Why did he start smoking again?
Seeing that I was unhappy, Theo put out the cigarette and explained, "I don’t normally smoke much.”
I did not plan to say anything else and just lay in the bathtub to relax.
