His Sexual Addiction

Chapter 32: Almost Touching!

"In the living room of the mansion, Lady... I, um, I had some alcohol last night and ended up falling asleep on the sofa." I told her again. I felt uneasy as I tried to come up with an excuse for my whereabouts last night. I'm not comfortable with lying, especially to Miss Linda. She has always been so kind and caring towards me. But I knew I couldn't tell her the truth about what I was doing. My heart was racing as I tried to think of a plausible explanation that wouldn't raise any suspicions. "Don't worry, Miss—" I began, trying to sound confident. But before I could say more, she cut me off. "I'm not worried about you, Lyka…. Alright, let’s start our work since it’s our job here as housekeepers," she said, ignoring my unfinished statement. Despite her words, a smile remained on my lips. I knew Miss Linda too well to believe that she was completely dishonest with me. Her eyes had a glimmer of worry, even though she tried to hide it with a snob poker face. She cared deeply about me, and her motherly instincts couldn't help but show through. Hastily, I headed to the bathroom to take a shower. The smile still lingered as I thought about Miss Linda's actions. She was just being snobbish to me now, but she's still the same Miss Linda who compliments my looks, enjoys my cooking, and greets me warmly as if we're not living under the same roof together. I really wondered why she’s been acting this way. And until when does she plan to act like this towards me? She seemed distant and snobbish. I couldn't help but feel curious about the reason behind her attitude. The unanswered questions kept swirling in my mind, and I really wanted to know why she was acting this way. As I stood there, pondering about Miss Linda's strange behavior, another thought suddenly interrupted my mind. It was Kiro's sweet words from last night, echoing in my thoughts. His kind gestures and caring words made me feel warm inside, contrasting with the coldness I was experiencing from Miss Linda. I found myself smiling again. Those words had a way of calming my nerves and filling me with a sense of happiness. It was as if his presence alone could wash away any worries or uncertainties I had.

Despite the mystery surrounding Miss Linda's behavior, I couldn't help but feel grateful for Kiro's presence in my life. His kindness and concern brought a sense of comfort and joy. ‘Don't question yourself when you know you have done nothing wrong. Think for yourself now. You're not ordinary or unique; you're a limited edition.’ Kiro's words echoed in my mind. Will this young man truly recover for good? I sighed. After that moment of distraction, I quickly shook off the thought of me and Kiro kissing and rushed through my shower. The warm water cascaded over me, washing away the tension and making me feel refreshed. I wrapped myself in a fluffy towel and hurriedly got dressed, choosing a comfortable yet presentable outfit for the day ahead. As I made my way to the kitchen, the aroma of coffee greeted me with the sight of Joday’s sharp eyes. "Where did you sleep last night, Lyka? Hmm, let me guess? HAHAHA!" Joday asked, her sarcasm evident. Joday can be so annoying sometimes, always poking her nose into my personal life. I wish she would just mind her own business and stop prying into mine. Today was no different, as she sarcastically questioned me about where I slept last night, trying to get under my skin. "In the living room," I answered plainly, ignoring her. I tried my best to brush off her comments, but it still bothered me. Why couldn't she just leave me alone? As I packed the food for Kiro, my irritation grew. I had enough on my plate, dealing with my feelings for him and the complications that came with it. I didn't need Joday's constant commentary making things even more confusing. Agh! I even left without saying goodbye to Kiro after what happened last night! "Miss Linda, I'll deliver this food to Sir Kiro first," I said to Miss Linda, even though she didn't ask or acknowledge me. But I knew it was just the way it worked. "Why can't she just stop?" I muttered to myself as I made my way to Kiro's place. I needed some peace and quiet, some time to sort out my thoughts and feelings without her interference. Delivering the food, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. I wanted to forget about Kiro and his

sweet words, but they kept playing in my mind like a broken record. Joday's comments only made matters worse, stirring up more doubts and insecurities. I shook my head, trying to push away all the noise in my head. I needed space to figure things out on my own, without anyone's input or judgment. I knocked on Kiro's room and went in. It was part of our routine, so it was alright with him. Thankfully, it seemed like he was still in the bathroom, so I placed the food on the side table. I was about to leave, trying to avoid any interaction because what happened between us last night was too embarrassing, but suddenly, I heard the bathroom door open. "Lyka," he said my name, surprising me. I closed my eyes before turning to face him. My heart skipped a beat as I turned to see Kiro stepping out of the bathroom, his hair slightly damp, and a towel wrapped around his waist. He looked so handsome, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions as our eyes met. Suddenly, he slowly walked towards me. My heart was racing, and I couldn't tear my gaze away from the hard rocks on his stomach. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and I felt a mix of emotions swirling inside me. I had never been this close to someone in such an intimate way before, and it was both exciting and nerve- wracking. As Kiro continued to approach me, I took another step back, trying to regain some composure. I wasn't sure how to react or what to say. The air felt charged with tension, and I could feel the electricity between us. "Kiro..." I suddenly remembered what happened between us last night—the way we kissed. He stopped walking closer, and I noticed a small smile on his face, as if he found comfort in the memory while looking at me. "Why are you moving backward, Lyka?" he asked with a weak laugh. I couldn't bring myself to look at him, afraid of what he might see in my eyes. The awkwardness, the anticipation…. everything. "I, uh, I should go," I stammered, my voice trembling slightly. "No, wait," he said gently, reaching out to touch my hand. "You don't have to leave. We can talk, take things slow." I glanced at his hand on mine, feeling a rush of warmth spread through me.

felt a sense of comfort in his presence. "I just don't know what to say because w-why are you approaching me ‘like that’, K-kiro?" I stuttered, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment. ‘Like that’, I referred to the way he walked towards me, how could he pull up some act? "Tss, here we go again with back and forth... Just like last night, you made me feel like I had to come to you..." he whispered, and I could hear it! What’s the point of whispering? Tsh. Ugh, I thought he had forgotten about last night. How could he forget that I was just drunk! You fool, Lyka! I tried to act like I hadn't heard him and averted my eyes, but he continued to approach me slowly. Is he like a boomerang or something? What's his deal? "W-why are you a-approaching me like that? Huh?" I asked while also stepping back. I was not so happy at what he was doing. "Why are you also backing away?" he playfully questioned. I didn't answer; I just kept retreating. He moved closer and closer until I could only feel the cold wall against my back. I couldn't go back any further. He was so close to me. He leaned his right hand against the wall, effectively blocking any possible escape route. I felt trapped, unable to look away so I stared at the floor, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. After a moment, I mustered the courage to turn and face him. His gaze was intense, making me feel even more embarrassed and nervous. I closed my eyes, bracing myself for a possible kiss, but instead, he surprised me by speaking. "Why are you closing your eyes? You want to get more sleep?" he asked with curiosity but with a hint of his tone like his having fun, so I opened my eyes. "H-huh? N-nothing..." I replied, trying to act calm. Keep it together, Lyka! "Hmmm. Are you feeling better now? Is Miss Linda paying attention to you? Are you feeling okay now?" He bombarded me with questions, which surprised me even more. Does he not remember me crying last night? Or does he? "It's okay... I-I know Miss Linda is just putting on an act to tease me. She's still my Miss Linda, and she always will be," I said.

"Hmmmm. You were really drunk last night. Do you remember what you did?" he asked. Kiro seemed to be enjoying teasing me about what happened last night. His mischievous smile and playful glances made it clear that he found my embarrassment amusing. "A-ah, Sir—" Kiro's voice interrupted my thoughts, firm and unwavering. "For the nth time, drop the honorifics," he said, looking at me intently. His tone caught me by surprise, and I hesitated for a moment before responding. I knew he didn't like formalities, but it was hard for me to let go of them completely. But I had no choice but to drop the honorifics. "K-kiro, last night... so—" I was interrupted when the door to Kiro's room suddenly swung open. Miss Linda showed up with a smile on her face, but it quickly vanished when she saw how close Kiro and I were standing. Our faces were almost touching! I could feel my cheeks turning red as she raised an eyebrow at us, and I quickly took a step back, trying to create some distance between us. Miss Linda's expression seemed a bit suspicious, and I felt a mix of embarrassment and unease at that moment. "M-Miss Linda?" I stammered, feeling her cold stare on me, but it quickly softened when she turned her gaze to Kiro. She seemed surprised to find us standing so close. "Sir Kiro, your doctor is downstairs. He said he has good news about your illness," she informed him, her tone now more composed and business-like. I tried to avoid her gaze, feeling a mix of nervousness and curiosity about her sudden appearance. Her eyes held a certain emotion that I couldn't quite decipher. Was it a concern? Or was there something else behind that look? Kiro nodded at her and gave her a reassuring smile, "Alright, I'll go see him. Thanks,Miss."
