Chapter 104. His Need

Her body was locked. Frozen. Her senses were numb. She was unable to feel or sense anything, and when his deep breath fell on her neck, that was when she realized her position. Her hands that lay on his chest immediately moved and pushed him back, creating a distance between them. She fixed her scarf around herself, looking anywhere but him—the floor, the walls, the window. Nervousness consumed her entire being. Her heartbeat was rapid. Her breaths slightly increased.

"I want to go home," she said in her raspy voice.

She still couldn't understand what came over her that she said such a thing to him. She was going to sell her body to him. But it seemed right in the moment to her. The feeling of just a thing and a rag doll was pinching her; she wanted to get rid of it.

But the cost of it was too much for her to take.

And she realized it when he had agreed.

She realized she couldn't do that. Not again. Not with him. Ever again.

That night. One night.
