Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“It looks like James has finally done something right.” Terence sneered. Although he still looked cold, he was actually much gentler to Esther than before.

He did not even let her lean against the cold wall. Instead, he carried her with both hands and walked towards the big bed in the middle of the bedroom. Then he put her down on the soft big bed.

It was the first time for them to sleep together.

Esther closed her eyes bitterly. She didn’t expect that this would happen in such a situation. They had just quarreled.

After a long time, Terence finally released her. Esther felt that her entire body was sore, and she was too tired to lift a finger.

She heard that Terence was taking a shower in the bathroom. She struggled to get up from the bed and looked at the mess on the bed. There were his clothes, the torn cheongsam, and the sweat of them. But there was no blood on the bed.

She stared at the white sheet in a daze, her brain rumbling.

Esther remembered Anne’s humiliating words. “Do you know how dissolute you were at that time? I felt shameful for you!”

She didn’t know what happened back then, but she never believed that she would as dissolute as Anne said. But…

She thought she shouldn’t doubt herself just because she didn’t bleed. It was said that many women won’t bleed when having sex for the first time, and she must be one of them!

As soon as Terence came out of the bathroom, he saw her sitting on the big bed in a daze. He casually pulled the towel on the chair and wrapped it around his waist. He looked at her and asked. “Do you still feel painful?”

Esther looked up at him with a complicated expression.

It did hurt a little, but she didn’t know she was painful because she hadn’t done that for five years, or because it was the first time for her to have sex? She felt very bad. It was also the first time that she felt sad about her amnesia.

In the past, she always thought that since she had amnesia, then she should live her life from the very beginning and enjoy her life. But now…

Terence suddenly carried her up and she was startled. Then she recovered from the shock.

She let out a low cry and tightly hugged Terence’s neck. She asked somewhat anxiously, “What are you going to do?”

Terence ignored her question and turned to walk straight to the bathroom.

He put her on the sink and told her to sit there.

Esther didn’t know what he was going to do, so she just held her breath and stared at him. She thought that he would do something to her again as he had just done on the bed. But he just turned around, took a hot towel from the bathtub, wrung it dry, and gently wiped her body.

He wiped gently from her neck to her chest. He was gentle and patient.

Esther could see from the reflection of the mirror that her body was filled with hickeys. And when he touched her, her body turned red. After all, it was the first time she faced a man naked like this. Her heart beat fast and she held her breath. She didn’t know what else she could do.

Terence squatted in front of her, holding her ankle with her warm hand. He gently wiped her legs with a hot towel. Esther felt comfortable but also nervous.

Finally, she said in a pleading tone, “Let me do it myself.”

“Didn’t you feel uncomfortable?” Terence stroked her skin with his finger. She hurriedly shook her head. “I was just pretending to be uncomfortable.”

Although she was indeed uncomfortable, she could not give him the illusion that she was a virgin. She could accept his dislike, but she didn’t want to deceive him and please him with that.

Sure enough, she saw a slight change in his expression. In the depths of his eyes, she saw some dark light.

She felt a little bitter and embarrassed. He had already stood up from the ground.

Esther thought that he would directly leave her in the bathroom after hearing what she said. In fact, she could accept it. At least she did not have to be so embarrassed.

However, he did not do what she had imagined. Instead, he carried her off the sink and gently put her into the bathtub which was filled with warm water.

The water was warm and she felt that she could finally relax her body. It was extremely comfortable.

He said in a cold tone but she could still feel warm, “You may feel better in this way.”

Esther looked at him. She really could not understand what he was thinking. He clearly hated her. Why did he care so much about whether she was uncomfortable?

Was he doing this out of responsibility? After all, he had just caused her pain.

Then she should feel glad about him being such a gentleman.

Probably because she was too tired, Esther fell asleep as soon as she was in bed. And she didn’t even care who was sleeping beside her.

She slept all night until dawn. When she woke up, Terence was not in bed as usual. She looked at the clock. He should be running at this time.

She quietly sat up from the bed. Her body was still sore. It seemed that she really suffered a lot last night. It was unbelievable that Terence still had a morning run. It was hard for her to even get up.

She stepped into the bathroom with her sore legs. When she stood near the sink and prepared to take a bath, she was almost shocked by herself in the mirror.

She was wearing a sling nightgown, and her neck and chest were exposed. There were at least dozens of hickeys on her chest. They were all dark red.

She wondered why she didn’t notice that he had left so many hickeys on her last night. Why didn’t she feel any pain?

Most importantly, how was she going to go out today like this? How was she going to attend the Anetly family banquet in the afternoon?

She quickly walked to the wardrobe and unfolded the dress she had prepared in advance. Although the dress was still suitable, the hickeys on her neck could not be covered. If she wore this dress, it must be very awkward.

It seemed that the most important thing for her to do was to go to the dress store to get a conservative dress.

Esther put on a shirt, then took out her makeup. It took a long time to cover the two hickeys on her neck, but if someone looked at her neck carefully, they could still see them.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

She only hoped that the people she met today wouldn’t stare at her.

The phone rang, and she glanced at it. It was Linsay.
