With a platter of cubed watermelon resting on the table, I bite into a chunk and sigh softly. Thereâs a sweetness that sets just right. Itâs a nice distraction from how Iâm currently feeling.
Thereâs a heat throbbing between my thighs, a radiating that has been simmering during the last painful hour. While I know what I want, Nikolai is set on torturing me every time Iâm in his home.
Pressing my thighs together, I consume another chunk of fruit.
âI bought this for both of us.â Pointing my fork at the older man, I take in his crossed arms and stiff posture. âYou should have some more.â
Weâre in a similar state, but heâs got the talent to not show it. Well, call me almost impressed. If it isnât for his twitching fingers and shifting scowl, Iâm almost fooled thinking nothing is wrong with him. I know better. Heâs watching my mouth with each bite, my throat with each swallow. Thereâs a slight mark there too, heâs staring at that as well.
When I noticed it in the bathroom, I stared at my reflection for a solid five minutes as well. I took in the odd shape with a smile on my lips. Itâll be gone by tomorrow, but Iâll always remember.
He looks down at the red cubes for all of two seconds before shifting again. Reaching across the table, he plucks one with his fingers and brings it right to his mouth. Iâm leaning against the table now, watching as he enjoys his own slice.
No wonder heâs satisfied with only watching me eat. Seeing the juice coat his lips and fingers, itâs a real tease. When I squirm, I swear I see the corner of his mouth lift. Heâs enjoying the fruit a little bit more than before. He even helps himself to another piece.
How long is this game of ours going to last?
Clearing my throat, I decide Iâve had enough fruit for a day. Helping him clean up, Iâm left standing around. Unsure what to do with myself, I take a look over at my belongings and wonder if I should start putting all my winter gear back on or not.
Iâm tempted to ask him to stay the night. The sun is dimming outside and Iâm sure I can draw out our time together. All it takes is the idea of him turning me down to keep the words stuffed in my mouth.
Even if heâs kissed me countless times and rubbed himself raw against my body, he still hasnât allowed himself to do more. With the restraint heâs shown, I wonât even dare to think he doesnât actually want me. With the way his eyes always follow, I know thatâs not true.
Nikolai appears next to me, a towel in his hands as he dries them off. Nose scrunching at my coat, he tosses the rag away and turns to grab his own coat. When he throws it over his shoulders, a weight forms heavy in my gut and I have to lean against the table to keep my feet steady.
