Chapter 122: The Awkward Silence of Tonight After the middle-aged man left, Tina leaned comfortably against Jared Farrell's headboard.
If she couldn't make fun of him, sure she can find someone else to do so? Perhaps buoyed by a recent minor triumph, Tina soon fell asleep right there on Jared's bed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Jared finally cout wearing a stony expression, he saw the young girl nestled in his bluish-grey cotton duvet, sleeping blissfully. His initial fury softened immediately at the sight. Surprised to find Tina still in his bedroom, Jared was clad only in a towel around his waist. He hesitated at the bathroom door but couldn't resist moving closer to gaze upon Tina's resting face.
Despite being asleep, Tina, trained from a young age, remained highly alert. As Jared approached, without even opening her eyes, she promptly grabbed at him. Unanticipated, her delicate, pale hand snatched his towel with a swift tug, exposing him abruptly. Woken by the chaos, both stared at each other, frozen by the sudden awkward silence.
Tina gaped at the now fully exposed Jared, then at the towel in her hand. Reacting as if scalded, she flung the towel back at Jared and turned her face away. Jared, equally embarrassed, wrapped the lower half of his body and teased her as he noticed her cheeks redden like boiled shrimp, "Did you enjoy the view?" Too embarrassed to look at him, Tina cleared her throat and scoffed, "Too small, didn't see clearly." Jared's expression soured instantly. He pulled her into his embrace, pressing her close, "Are you sure? Maybe your eyesight is poor. Should I give you another look?" "Oh? Perhaps one more look?" Tina suggested, glancing again tactfully. Unfortunately, he was already covered by the towel.
Jared staggered, nearly losing his balance.
Did she even realize what she was doing? He was a grown man! Did she think his self-control was that good? Jared's dark eyes settled on Tina, her beautiful features making his throat dry. As he leaned over her, a droplet of water from his damp hair fell onto her face, tracing a path that seemed like a tear. He knew his Tina didn't cry, yet the scene still stunned him momentarily, fixing his gaze on the wet streak across her face.
Underneath him, Tina lay back, her eyes locked on his now mesmerized and predictably more vulnerable expression. Her heart inexplicably ached, prompting her to lean up and kiss his slightly parted lips. The kiss startled Jared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe girl he'd been dreaming of had initiated a kiss, a reaction he hadn't anticipated. Regaining composure sooner, Tina cursed herself for her madness - a never-been-kissed girl kissing a man ten years her senior. She'd never admit to being seduced by Jared's looks.
She covered her embarrassment, "You seem to be quite inexperienced." As she tried to get up, Jared pulled her back down, laughing almost breathlessly with irritation. That night, she called his manhood into question, now his kissing; he had to prove himself. With a firm hand, he tilted her chin up and kissed her fiercely. His intense desire merged with the heated breath, swallowing all her defiance in an engulfing blaze.
At first, she struggled, resisted, kicked, punched, even angrily bit his lip. Yet, he persisted, plundering the sweetness he had long observed until the young lady beneath him softened and drowned with him in their entwined breaths. Late into the night, Tina almost fled back to her room. She sought refuge under her duvet, replaying the suffocating moments when Jared finally released her, then teasingly licked his lips and smiled at her, "How about that?" After the age of nine, Tina hadn't experienced such intense emotions. It felt as if a mole were shrieking incessantly inside her. That night, she suddenly realized that she was just a young girl-capable of feeling flustered, shy, and panic-stricken, all because of one person.
Jared Farrell.
The next morning, Jared knocked on Tina's bedroom door, "Tina, tto get up." Hearing Jared's voice snapped her back to the vivid scenes of the night before, coloring her cheeks crimson. "Tina, I'm hungry. Aren't you supposed to be taking care of me?" Jared teased again at the door, "If you don't cout, I might just have to complain to Grandpa about last night..." With a sudden start, Tina leaped out of bed, yanked open the door, and glared, "Shut up!" Jared couldn't help but laugh, finding her shyness endearing. It was funny how she acted as if he had coerced her, despite her initiating everything the night before. Recalling her panicked escape, he amusedly reflected on her disarray-his first tseeing her so utterly flustered.
By the tTina finally changed and sorted herself out, ambling into the kitchen, Jared had already laid out the ingredients for breakfast.
"Pasta?" Tina eyed the package in Jared's hand.
