Chapter 54 - Her Lipstick Marks
Katherine was shocked to discover her red lipstick marks on Adrian's jaws and she was even more embarrassed because it was accidental. She didn't want anyone to notice it, especially her colleague Mrs. Edwin. She wanted to inform him about it but Mrs. Edwin was with them.
She held a tissue with her to erase his jaws but she could not do it as Mrs. Edwin was present with them. She just wanted to inform him about it so he could wipe it off, but she couldn't think of how to do it and there was nothing to find. Her heart skipped a few beats and she almost died of embarrassment, her hands and body were numb.
She was so taken aback that Mrs. Edwin was with them and she was still in her office. She couldn't think about anything else as she stared at his face; she knew his features and she knew that he was beautiful; She blushed when she remembered that she had kissed him, she almost died of embarrassment.
Adrian was busy explaining something to Mrs. Edwin when Katherine came and interrupted them. Both of them stopped what they were doing and looked at Katherine.
"Oh..." Katherine hissed all of the sudden.
She acted as if she was in pain and held her ankle as if it was twisted. She didn't know what to say or how to make it sound like she was being sincere when she was not. Katherine looked up as Mrs.. Edwin came to help her.
"Oh...I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you," Katherine hissed. She didn't know how to tell Adrian about what she did. She felt nervous and caught between two emotions.
Adrian looked at Katherine and then at Mrs. Edwin and turned his head slowly towards Katherine. He knew Katherine did it intentionally but he was still confused about why she did it. He wanted to ask her, "Why did you do this?" but he didn't. Instead, he asked, "How's your ankle?"
"I'm fine..." Katherine's lips trembled as she spoke. She was feeling guilty.
" Please bring some water to her," Adrian informed Mrs. Edwin. she nodded her head and left his cabin to bring water.
Without wasting one second, she wiped her lipstick marks on his jaws keeping her eyes on his neck. Adrian was surprised by her act and also felt delighted when her fingers brushed his neck.
" So your ankle is fine? Then why do you act?" He asked her with a serious expression.
" That.. my lipstick mark was on your jaws when I fell on you accidentally a few hours back. I don't want anyone to find it and think of you in another way," she replied looking into his eyes. He noticed her sincere answer when his eyes were on tissue in her hands.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Edwin entered his cabin with a glass of water. He took Katherine into his arms and walked towards the attached private room to his cabin.
" Then continue the act which you started " he whispered in her ears and made her sit on the couch. She hesitantly placed her hands around his neck.
He asked Mrs. Edwin opened the door to make her lay on the bed. She nodded her head and opened it hurriedly.
Mrs.. Edwin opened her mouth with surprise when Adrian took care of Katherine. She slowly walked towards them and handed her a glass of water.
" Thank you, Mrs. Edwin, I'm fine now, " She smiled weakly.
" You are welcome. I'm glad that you're feeling better now" she replied.
Katherine was still confused about what she had to say about her incident. She looked at the glass of water and then back to Adrian.
Adrian knew that she was still in a state of shock about what had happened or she was still embarrassed to have kissed him. He also knew that she didn't like what she did with him.
"Mrs. Edwin, let's continue our discussion tomorrow. I will call the doctor to check Katherine's ankle. First I need to take care of it. " Adrian said to Mrs. Edwin, looking at her.
Mrs. Edwin nodded her head and left the cabin still thinking about Adrian's behavior with Kathie.
" You knew I lied to her to wipe lipstick marks on your jaws. Why do you continue after wiping it? " Katherine asked him.
" I saw that you don't want anyone to know about this. Therefore, I continued to do whatever I was doing instead of calling the Doctor" he replied, looking at her.
Katherine was nervous and her cheeks turned red. She was embarrassed and she felt like blushing. She felt confused because she didn't know what to say. Her heart was beating fast but she didn't want to appear like they were having an affair.
Katherine looked down at her clothes and tried to calm herself. She was still embarrassed. Adrian saw her. He knew she cared about him. She might not admit it but she did.
" You are still embarrassed by the kiss or act. It doesn't matter. I'm not, I don't care if anyone finds out. " He replied, looking at her.
Katherine let out a sigh and she turned her gaze towards the carpet on the floor. She was still confused. She didn't know what to say or what she wanted to do.
Adrian was still looking at her. He wanted to know what she was thinking. He walked closer to her and kneeled on the floor. He took her feet onto his lap and caressed gently with his palms. All of sudden her body felt electrified with his touch because of his intimate touch. He noticed how her body shivered with his touch.
He felt the warmth of her body which was dying of desire. He could smell the scent of her body which was sweeter than the flower. He couldn't wait to lay his head on hers but he felt that he should not go beyond the limits.
Katherine closed her eyes because he was caressing her feet with such fervor. Her eyes were wet with tears and she felt weak. His touch was incredible. Adrian was both excited and scared. He felt the urge to go to the limit of his limits. He wanted to lay his head on her bosoms and breathe her scent in his nostrils.. His hand moved up and down her feet, his lips started to move close to her feet but he stopped in the middle.
