Chapter 154 - 58 (1/2)

”Mmm . . .”

Groaning, Evangeline opened her eyes and saw blurs of white before her vision focused on the face of Eric, who was staring at her with a fondness in his eyes.

”Good morning,” he said.

”Mm . . . what time is it?” she gruffly answered. Moving her limbs, she let out a sharp cry. She was jolted awake by the soreness of her muscles and searing pain of her swollen v.a.g.i.n.a.

Eric was quickly by her side, assisting her to sit on the bed. His arms braced her shoulder while his other hand landed on her abdomen, rubbing her belly. The warmth of his hand and the pressure brought by his massages released some of the tensions of her sore muscles.

”It's past the hour of lunch. Are you hungry?” he asked, sitting next to her, worry on his face.

She smiled and closed her eyes, weakly resting her back against the headboard. She was weak and aching. Plus, the growling of her stomach the moment she woke up wasn't adding to her current predicament.

”I'm famished,” she said through exasperated breath. She faced him, smiling playfully. ”You're a beast.”

Eric blinked, couldn't react for a period of time before heat crept to his face. He leaned and kissed her on the forehead, lingering there for seconds, murmuring, ”Rest first. I'll get you something to eat.”

Evangeline watched Eric left and only now notice he was already in clothes and that she was inside the RV's bedroom with a loose shirt on her.

Frowning, she glanced at her pets, who were resting on their bed with a protruding belly. They were so full they didn't even bother to come to her the moment she woke up.

I guess Eric already fed them.

Looking them in the eyes, she questioned, ”Since when did Eric put me here? I don't remember him carrying me here last night.”

Her pets, of course, just stared at her and wagged their tails before they yawned and got back to sleep.

Pouting, she tried to move her legs. It was hard. She could only move a little bit a time from her weakened aching state. She checked under the quilt covering half her body and found she was not wearing anything besides his shirt.

Repressing a giggle, she forced her arms to check her v.a.g.i.n.a. Upon contact, she twitched from the sudden pain. Shit! It was still hurting and swollen. She bet if not for the balm Eric kept applying for her last night, her p.u.s.s.y must have hurt more.

He's really . . . a beast.

She smiled, resting her head against the bedrest once more just in time that Eric came and laid a tray full of food and fruits in front of her.

”Eat first, then rest. I'll ready the bath for you later.”

Eric really knew her. She was feeling sticky and uncomfortable even though the temperature was cold. Nevertheless, she wanted to eat first, so nothing would disturb her later when she bathed in the bathtub.

”How about you? Did you already eat?” she asked first before she chewed the food he fed her.

”Yeah. Don't worry about me.” Cutting the food, Eric sometimes peeked at her. ”Are you . . . aright?”

”. . .” Evangeline's head swayed to the side when she answered, ”It still hurts. And I'm sore all over,” she complained.

Leaning sideward, she rested her head against his shoulder while her eyes peeked through her lashes, looking like she wanted to be spoilt.

”You have to take care of me until I can move again.”

Eric helplessly smiled. He fed her before answering, ”Un . . . leave it to me.”

Evangeline's hand swept Eric's arms and gently squeezed his bicep with her meager strength, which cause Eric to paused what he was doing and look her way.

”Yeah?” he asked when Evangeline just stared at him.

The softness in her eyes and the gentle smile on her lips rendered him immobile, and he couldn't pull away from those amazing sets of lilac irises. And he thought . . . the universe couldn't even compare with the beauty, which was her eyes.

Leaning close, his eyelids drop, capturing her lips with his. He swept his tongue on her lips before he gently bit it. She did the same to him before they tenderly kissed, which they didn't know possible. Their feelings were overflowing that they didn't have to speak it. The kiss was enough.
