Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Don’t Be Afraid
Stuart heard her speak, so he immediately sat up. He leaned over and touched her cheeks, gently trying to comfort her. "Don’t be afraid, Edie, it’s me."
Edie was so hot, and all she could smell was the familiar smell of his cologne. She started to regain consciousness and was becoming more aware of her surroundings. Suddenly she felt a pair of cold hands on her cheeks, and they were gently touching her skin. She slightly started to calm down.
Edie couldn’t help it, but she touched his masculine hands. It was like an electric shock. He quickly took back his hands and turned his back to her. He breathed in and out two times and didn’t dare to look at the beautiful woman on the bed. This was torture!
Edie felt his hands move away slowly, and her longing desire to be touched had intensified. The effect of the drug was wearing off, but the fire in her body seemed to be spreading rapidly. She couldn’t help but whisper, "Stuart..."
It was so painful for Stuart to hear the crying voice of Edie. He turned around, sat on the edge of the bed, and tried not to touch her body. He tried to restrain himself from kissing her. "I am here, and I am here."
Stuart was holding back as much as he could, but Edie was just the opposite. She was unable to think from the confusion of the night. With just the touch of Stuart’s hand, heat flared within her body. Desire rose hot and fast in her. Then she unconsciously reached out and found something that made her comfortable.
She caught the shirt collar of Stuart. His mind was blank, and suddenly, Edie was pulling him towards her. His body pressed against her soft and delicate body. He felt heat spread through his body. He was being tempted, his eyes lingered on her red lips, and he kissed her.
Her lips were hot, and his lips were cold as the blend of fire and ice. Once they touched each other, they felt a familiar warmth. His tongue invaded her mouth, and she had that look of longing in her eyes that made his blood boil. It was inevitable.
All the desire to push her away vanished as she clung to him. Stuart could not control himself any longer. Their kisses grew more passionate, and she returned his kiss passionately.
Her arms are encircling his neck. He slowly moved down, came to her, and kissed her carefully on the neck. She gasped, yearning and fire tearing through her. His big hands slid along her slender waist and comforted her.
Edie felt like she was on a boat floating in the sea, without realism. Her thoughts were scattered, and she thought that she had returned to the moment when Mr. Luis’s fat body was on her. Her body suddenly trembled, and she cried, "Don’t..."
Stuart was breathing heavily; he stopped and slightly let go of her body. He saw the tears flowing from her eyes. Stuart’s body became tense, and the desire was dissipated. He removed the hair from her cheeks, "Edie, it is me, don’t be afraid."
"Edie, are you awake?" She was just shaking her head: "I beg you, don’t, don’t..." The delicate and beautiful face was full of helplessness and despair. The atmosphere in the room grew cold. He can’t do this to her.
Their first time they had sex was because they were both drugged. It wasn’t until now that he felt Edie was actually starting to care for him. He had always given her space and kept his distance because he hoped she could forget that unpleasant night between them.
He had hoped that she would genuinely accept him. He touched her, and she wanted him too but was it because of the drugs. If it wasn’t the drugs and she actually wanted to be with him, there would be no reason to blame him. Yet she was still reluctant to make love to him.
There was no point in trying. What he wanted was her love; he wanted her heart. Stuart took a deep breath and turned away. He walked from the bedroom to the living room, for fear that he could not control himself and do regrettable things.
Stuart stood in front of the window for a moment, and then he picked up the phone and dialed. He immediately got through to Todd. "Hey? Brother! What happened? Did you find her?"
Stuart was worried that the news of Edie missing had spread, so he made Todd and Queenie go back first. They were waiting for information about Edie. "Yes, I have found her."
Todd could tell by the tone of Stuart’s voice that something was wrong: "What happened? Is everything okay?" Stuart said in a low voice: "If someone takes an aphrodisiac, what happens to them?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Stuart had contemplated as to whether or not to ask Todd, but since he was known as a playboy Todd, then he would definitely know what to do. The phone went silent for a few seconds. Todd thought that he had misunderstood him.
He actually heard the words "aphrodisiac" from his own brother. Is he the cold Stuart? Todd said sincerely, "Brother, you are the best aphrodisiac for women, and you don’t need to make a woman take it."
Todd’s way of thinking was different than Stuart’s. Stuart closed his eyes and frowned his eyebrows slightly. "I don’t want to use it. Edie was being forced to take it by Ross Luis. Now, what can I do to help her?"
"What! Ross Luis, he must have been looking to die. How dare he touch your woman. You can help her by sacrificing your body to her?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Stuart was silent for a moment and said, "I don’t want to touch her when it isn’t voluntary."
Todd said, "But brother, this drug is added with sex hormones, and there is no antidote."
"Is there no way to help her?"
"Oh...Yes. It can be alleviated in cold water, but it may take a long time. It would work faster if you were to satisfy her directly."
He got the answer that he wanted, Stuart didn’t want to listen to Todd’s nonsense. So, he hung up the phone. Stuart walked into the bathroom. He turned the cold water on, and the bathtub began to fill with water.
Edie could hear the sound of the water running in the bathroom, as an instinct she quickly got undressed. Stuart walked back to the bed and saw her dress lying there. She was naked. So, he promptly turned his head and did not dare to look at her again.
Stuart took the sheets that he had used from Ross’s room and wrapped her up with them again. As he picked her up, he was trying not to touch her skin. He didn’t dare let her put her arms around him, so held from a distance.
He walked into the bathroom carrying Edie. You could feel the cold temperature in the room without even touching the water. Stuart whispered in Edie’s ear. "It may be a bit cold, but everything is going to be okay."
Edie was tired and seemed to hear someone talking. Stuart stood in the bath first, and he frowned by the cold water. He saw her red cheeks and the confused expression on Edie’s face and slowly put her into the cold water.
