"I'm just grabbing the paper towel," Gary's voice rang softly in Celeste's ear, "You placed them on the bed."
Oh, so that was the case.
As expected, he reached out and grabbed a paper towel. He placed one hand on her right and lowered his head to look at Celeste.
Celeste looked at his stern and determined handsome face with her big eyes.
Gary admitted that he was genuinely just grabbing a paper towel because it was placed in an inconvenient spot. He was afraid that he would hurt Celeste, so he could only reach out in such a way to take it.
However, he didn't expect his actions to change the atmosphere.
Her frightened expression was reflected in his eyes, and her cheeks were pink like blossoms in spring.
Her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, which made her look frail..
When he touched her, Gary couldn't bear it anymore. He just wanted to hold her in his arms forever and never let anyone see her again.
He lowered his head slightly and stroked her face gently.
Celeste did not dare to speak.
She smelled the faint aroma of the medication on his slender fingers. She felt that the smell was about to seep into her pores and make her senses explode.
Gary's deep eyes were locked onto Celeste's, not missing a single change of her expression.
She forgot to breathe.
Then, Celeste's face turned even redder.
Gary lowered his head even further. As he exhaled, his breath landed on Celeste's face. He noticed that she had not taken a breath.
He couldn't help grinning, "If you don't breathe, do you want me to end up doing CPR for you?"
Meanwhile, Celeste's mind was in a state of chaos.
She was completely confused.
She didn't know what he was talking about.
That was because she was suffering the whole time. Every inch of her soul felt like it was no longer hers.
Celeste had long lost her sense of reason. After more than half an hour of torture, she had long been hollowed out. She was still holding her breath even then.
"Open your mouth," Gary's finger traced the outline of her lips as he muttered, "If you don't open your mouth to take in some air, you'll faint."
Gary saw that her face had grown even redder. It was definitely not just a blush. The redness was caused by her lack of oxygen.
However, his hand was still stroking her chin and lips.
There was only one thought in Celeste's mind. Gary actually touched her chin with his finger that had been stained with the medication, and he did it on purpose.
Just when she thought she was about to suffocate, everything went black in front of her eyes and there was a hot sensation on her lips. She felt air entering her body. In an instant, her mind felt clearer and she was able to think.
She took in a deep breath subconsciously. She breathed in with all her might, sucking in oxygen.
Alas, the oxygen given was insufficient.
She could only take large mouthfuls of it.
Gary's eyes were sharp. He held her tightly, giving her more oxygen.
It was not until a long time later when Celeste came back to her senses and realized how awkward it was.
She had actually wrapped her arms around Gary's neck and her legs were wrapped around Gary's waist. When she realized it, there was a moment of silence hanging between them.
She immediately withdrew her hand and curled back her feet.
However, Gary stopped her.
He lowered his voice to ask her, "What should I do? I'm saving you, but you try to take me instead." His tone was deep and low, and his dark eyes were filled with a faint smile and a tint of selfconfidence.
It was as if the confident and egotistical Gary had returned.
He was no longer despondent.
Celeste was embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. She could only watch as her emotions slowly revealed themselves, which made her feel so embarrassed.
She threw caution to the wind and withdrew her legs.
Nevertheless, Gary still put them back to their original position with a cold smirk, "It was you who started it."
Celeste retorted, "I didn't. You were the one who seduced me."
Hahaha.
She was quite honest.
He admitted that he indeed tried to do that.
It seemed that he needed to adjust his thought process. If he didn't come up with a plan, this adorable woman would slip away from his fingers.
Of course, Gary wouldn't allow that to happen.
As he looked at Celeste, his icy gaze became absolutely bewitching. With a slight smile, he lowered his head and kissed her once again.
Celeste was shocked. She reached out and tried to push him away.
"Don't move. I feel dizzy," He suddenly said.
Celeste paused for a moment, only to hear Gary continue, "You just sucked all my oxygen away. I'm dizzy now, so it's your turn to save me."
A low voice rang in her ear, and warm breathing appeared at the corner of her lips. Celeste felt as if something had exploded in her mind and snatched away all shred of rationale she had. By the time she had woken up, Gary had already deepened the kiss with her.
Her heart was beating wildly, as if she had a heart attack. It thumped loudly against her chest.
