I don't know, you look quite tired, he said as he kept on Staring at my face. “I'm fine. How many times do I have to tell you this?” I said with a mocking tone of annoyance. Desmond probably didn't want to get on my bad side, so he decided to take my word for what it is before escorting me to the car....I hadn't realized just how tired I was until I was alone in the car on my way back to Bradon's mansion. It felt like I closed my eyes momentarily, but when I opened them again the car was already parked right in front of the mansion. My body felt slightly heavy and sluggish from sleep, but the short nap that I had in the car definitely made me feel better. I must have been so tired that I fell asleep in the car without even realizing it. I walked into the mansion while taking extra care not to trip over the high heels that I had on with the intent of heading directly to my bedroom to catch up on some sleep.I felt my body tremble slightly when I walked into the mansion because it f
I could no longer hold myself back and ended up letting out a moan when he twirled my erected nipple between his fingertips. Thoughts of electric pleasure run through my chest before running down to the throbbing ache in between my legs as he continued squeezing and tugging on my sensitive nipple. My pussy spasmed as I felt my core heat up so rapidly. As if it was not yet enough, Bradon buried his face into the side of my neck before taking in deep breaths as if he was taking in my scent. I let out another moan when I felt the heat of his lips against my sensitive skin as he planted kisses along the side of my neck. He finally freed his other arm from around my body just so that his other hand could join in on feasting on my breasts. Both his hands dipped easily beneath my clothes to squeeze my breasts at the same time as his lips began sucking softly on my neck. Everything that he was doing to me overwhelmed my body with pleasure, and everywhere that he was touching and kissing me t
It seemed like my lack of rest and all the work that I had been doing up until that point was quickly catching up to me. “Dahlia…” I heard him whisper my name.When I opened my eyes again, my vision was blurry and it felt like I was seeing double. I frowned as I wondered what was happening to me. Bradon called my name again but his voice seemed so far away and so soft. I couldn't bring myself to answer him as my eyelids felt so heavy and then everything blacked out from my vision.…**Bradon's point of view**“Dahlia! Dahlia! Dahlia!” I called her name as I cradled her limp body in my arms, but no matter how many times I called her name, Dahlia never opened her eyes. I cursed myself for not realizing that there was something wrong with her or that she was feeling unwell. The sense of regret that sprouted in my chest reminded me that I probably couldn’t forgive myself if something were to happen to her.After Dahlia suddenly fainted, I drove her to the hospital after evaluating that
“She is still sleeping, and I suggest that she takes some time to recover here in the hospital. We may need to run checks on her afterwards because this might also be a result of stress or some other underlying condition,” the doctor said before showing me a small smile of reassurance.“Thank you,” I replied softly.The doctor nodded at me before walking off. Then one of the nurses approached me to explain that Dahlia would be moved to her private room.…I made sure that Delia got the best hospital room as if it would somehow lighten my sense of guilt. I wanted her to wake up in a comfortable room, where natural light shone in from the window. I wanted her to be able to see the view of the garden when she looked down from the window because I had no idea how long she needed to stay in the hospital for. Although I didn't like the idea of Dahlia spending time outside of the mansion, I would prefer for her to fully recover before making her return.I looked down at Dahlia's face as she
**Dahlia's Point of View**I felt like I have been drifting randomly from one place to another, guided by the wind. My body felt weightless, as if it lacked substance and all that was active was my mind. It felt like I had just lived through a very long and complicated dream. I saw many people in my dreams, starting off with my sister, and then Anthony from way back in the past, and then my thoughts settled on Bradon. I saw his face so clearly, but when he came closer, I couldn't hear what he was saying. He looked very apologetic, as if he was guilty about committing some kind of serious crime, and I thought to myself that there was no way that the Bradon that I knew could have that kind of expression on his face. When his mouth moved as if he was saying something to me, I could not hear his voice. Everything was muted, and I was left wondering what it was that he wanted to say to me.Gradually, my body started to feel heavier and heavier until it felt lethargic. My mind became much f
Everyone insisted on the same thing, that I had to eat a balanced meal, get enough sleep, and keep my stress at bay as best as I could. I had to say that all of that was much easier said than done, and I doubted that the doctor that took care of me got his full 8 hours of sleep a night."You should stay here for a couple of days until you're completely back to normal. As the doctor recommended, rest is the best cure for your condition right now," Bradon told me as he sat next to my hospital bed. I wanted to tell him that his presence close to me made me feel slightly restless. After all, how did he expect me to completely relax and fall asleep when he was practically staring at my face the whole time?"When I was asleep, were you...umm... were you here with me the whole time?" I asked hesitantly as my hands fiddled together under the blanket."Not quite, but almost," he replied."I see. Thanks for that, I guess," I replied before trying my best to smile his way to hide my embarrassmen
I honestly meant it as a joke, but the sorrowful look that entered the depth of his blue eyes and his face told me that he didn't find my joke at all entertaining. Suddenly, the atmosphere around us felt awkwardly tense. Just as I wondered what I could say to ease the tension between us that I had unintentionally caused, Bradon spoke up."I'm sorry, Dahlia," he said as he pressed my hand against his forehead. I could hear and feel his regret, and I truly believe that he genuinely regretted his actions and that affected my heart.For a moment, I was stunned into silence as all I could do was stare at him as my body froze in place."No, I didn't mean for it to come out that way. I'm not really blaming you," I said before trailing off."It's fine. It is my fault," he said. I wasn't sure at that point if my words bothered him more or if his reaction bothered me more."You should try your best to fall asleep," he advised after a moment of silence."I think after 3 days of doing nothing but
"I guess you'll have to hold back this time. You shouldn't bully the sick, right?" I asked teasingly as I patted the empty spot next to me on the bed again.This time, instead of hesitating in silence, Bradon chuckled softly before climbing into bed with me. The hospital bed creaked from his movement and his weight. The space that we had to share was certainly too narrow for the two of us to sleep separately, so it felt very natural when he pulled me into his embrace and hugged me tightly with my back towards him. I could feel the warmth of his breath tickling the top of my head like a gentle breeze as his chest rose and fell from his steady breathing."Are you really scared?" Bradon murmured.I wondered if I was really scared about the possibility that my life could be in danger. Honestly, it still felt very unreal, although I knew that it wasn't completely impossible for something like that to happen."I was just fooling around. I'm not scared," I said before trailing off with the w
