HOUSE OF THORNS : EPISODE 11 – 20
HOUSE OF THORNS
EPISODE 18
When they got to the bedside, Valerie climbed unto the b.ed and adjusting to a side to create room for him to lie down besides her. She looked at him as he stood there, not making a move.
“Common Leonard, I won’t bite. You’re just like a big brother to me, come stay besides me. We could talk all night if you like” she urged him.
Leonard slowly climbed to the bed and sat beside her instead. At that point, he wasn’t sure if his body would readily take the instructions of cautioning from his brain because even while she held him some seconds ago, a part of him was rioting with his head for permission to wrap her in an embrace and kss her.
And while he stood there watching her invite him to lie down besides her, she looked every bit a woman who wanted him as much as he wanted her. “What the he1l did she mean. You’re just like a big brother to me?” he fumed inside.
Do big brothers get a b0ner while dancing with their kid sisters? Granted, it was way too early to tell he loved her, but how was he supposed to keep himself from loving the effect she had on him?
How was he supposed to will himself to stay away from her when merely looking at how she was looking at him innocently as she lay there was making desire build up in his heart and somewhere else?
It took all the self control in Leonard to get up from the bed and walk to the sofa. “I really do not feel like sleeping. So why don’t you go on and catch some sleep, I’ll log onto my drive and do some works to keep me busy while I watch over you” he suggested, sounding so asserting.
“Okay! But you promise not to step out of that door until morning, don’t you?” she asked him appearing all serious.
“Cross my heart” he said as he made a cross sign on his chest, smiling genuinely at the way she sounded. He had never noticed how her eyes twinkled when she talked before, or maybe because he never really paid much attention to them as he was doing now.
And so, Valerie pulled the duvet covers over her legs and curled up to sleep, with the duvet barely covering those tempting body of hers. She meant to just lie in bed and wait for Leonard to get tired of sitting in the sofa, then come running back to the bed, but she had really been dancing too much earlier, she was worn out.
Leonard could hear her breathing softly as she fell into slumber some few minutes after he sat down to look at those files he had stashed up in his Google drive.
He tried not to look at her, but the more he tried to concentrate on what he was reading from the drive, the more images of the time she stood twêrking over his poor fully provoked propagator, kept flashing through his head.
He needed to sleep, and he knew it. So he decided to help her get fully tucked under the duvet and then get the hel1 out of the room to be able to catch some sleep, but as soon as he touch the duvet, she stirred, and he froze.
The last thing Leonard needed was to get her awoken again. He didn’t know if the self control he brought with him to that room hadn’t been exhausted. He may not be able to resist her again tonight.
He waited patiently for her to fall asleep deeply again, and then he pulled the duvet over her chest, unconsciously allowing his fingers brush over her knockers as he did.
The poor sacred melons vibrated in protest, as they got pushed when their mistress was deep in slumber. “Don’t be rebellious you tempting little things” he scolded them, seeing how they acted on their own.
He smiled satisfactorily as he successfully got her under the duvet without waking her up. He bent over her again, kssed her lightly on her plump lip and got up as quick as possible, before he either woke her up, or the lu$t spirit in him that had been urging him to lie beside her got the better of him.
“See you later today, pretty one. We agreed I don’t leave until morning. Time check is 2am, so technically, I stayed till morning as promised” he told her as he walked out of the room, this time, without looking back.
When Leonard got into his room, the lu$t spirit in his head was raging and fuming. Completely m@d at him for ignoring all the orders it had given while he was still with the sleeping beauty.
He smiled happily, wishing he could get Vivian to see how long he had it up there. A tear escaped his eyes as he looked at the bed they had shared since they got to that hotel. He couldn’t help but think about the number of times he had tried to get it on while she was sleeping.
He wiped away the tear, thinking of what he would have done if he had remained unable to get an ercti0n. Somehow, Vivian’s decision to desert him was a blessing, it had made him so free around Valerie that a gesture as simple as a dance had got him all riled up back there.
For the time he had known and loved Vivian, he had managed to be the best he could. He had remained faithful to her, never imagining being with another woman. He knew be did his best, they weren’t just meant to be!
In those number of times Mary had tried to s?du¢e him, even when he was clearly sxx starved, he just didn’t see himself cheating on his wife. He loved her too much to do that.
On one occasion, Mary had cornered him in his office while he was still in the middle of a job after the close of work. He had had a very tiring day and was trying to tidy up his table when she walked in, looking too hot, nearly 80% of men would give anything to have her.
On that day, she had not only come almost un¢Iad, for she had intentionally removed the camisole that she had worn beneath the single button jacket, she was wearing one of his favourite perfumes.
“What is the meaning of this unwholesome behaviour Miss Mary?” he had chided her, looking totally unmoved, even though he could see virtually all her bbs, with some parts of the tips even peeking out.
“Baby, for how long are you going to keep living in self denial? Are you telling me you still don’t feel all giddy when you look at this?” she asked as she sductively pushed her two bbs with her hands, sauntering closer.
“For the last time, Miss Mary, I’m going to tell you politely again. I’m a responsibly married man. I do not see any other woman or you for that matter as anything other than who they are, colleagues or acquaintances. Save yourself the stress of doing all these shits you’re doing, I’m never going to see you as anything else but a colleague” he told her as he grabbed her and threw her out of the door before she got a chance to respond to what he had just said.
He had treasured what he had going with Vivian. He could kss her siIIy at any point and easily get her begging for the real deal whenever he made her angry. He smiled as he thought of the time she had made him mop the kitchen floor before she allowed him come to the bedroom because he had returned from work late.
“What a way to punish a man that had come late from work, what a way to punish someone that has been working his a$$ out to provide for you my love” he had told her as she watched him mop the kitchen floor.
They had ended up that day on the kitchen table after he had tricked her into coming into the kitchen to help him pick something up.
“Why you chose to call0usly throw me on the mud after all the good times we’ve had is what I can’t tell, but this I can tell you Vivian, I’m not going to stay down there forever. I’m going to live again, and this time, to the fullest” he said resolutely, as he walked into the bathroom to take a warm shower.
HOUSE OF THORNS : EPISODE 11 – 20
He returned to the bed sometime later, smiling sheepishly as he thought of how his day had ended. His lips were curved in a beautiful smile as he thought of the time he danced for Valerie.
He had had to turn his back to her, to prevent his fully pointing propagator from dangling to her seeing. “But why did this girl have so much effect on me all of a sudden?” he thought, his brows creasing.
He had passed the night in a room with her before, he had held her in his arms before but never had he experienced any form of arousal. What made the difference now?
Could it be because all these while his mind has subconsciously shut out thought about other women? Could it be because all these while he had intentionally forced his mind to refute the truth that he liked Valerie beyond the friendship?
Maybe his body has fully adjusted to the reality of being with her as a woman when they’re both single. Yes, it has to be! His body is reacting to the freedom his heart has granted to all his members, the moment it registered his bachelorhood.
He was still thinking about the pleasurable sensations his heart received while Valerie was grinding hotly on him on the dance floor back then, when the arms of sleep pulled him lovingly away, to the dreamland, where he dreamt of being in a big and warm house with Valerie. And they had two beautiful children in their arms. It felt so good, so real to be a dream!
