Chapter 31 Enamoured

Evelyn

Morning arrived sooner than expected, as the sun's gentle rays permeated the room through a slender gap in the curtains, caressing my face. Instinctively, I sought refuge in the warmth of Jacob's neck, eliciting a playful chuckle that assured me of his wakefulness.

"So you're awake," I mumbled, my voice laden with fatigue and grogginess.

How could I possibly summon any energy when Jacob had effortlessly drained every ounce of it from me the night before? My lower abdomen still throbbed, a testament to his unwavering vigour. The man was made of steel....everywhere.

"Yeah, I've been up for a while," he replied, tenderly tracing small circles on my back while planting kisses on my shoulder.

"Aren't you tired?"

I was genuinely curious. How could I feel utterly depleted while he radiated tenfold more energy, considering he had been the one responsible for our passionate escapades?

"That's the complete opposite of how I'm feeling right now," he snickered. "How can anyone be tired after such an incredible night?"

"But why do I feel so fucking tired?" I queried, lifting my gaze to meet him. Damn, he was breathtaking.

"Because—while it's true that I was the one exerting the effort, it was upon you that I bestowed it..." He paused momentarily, mischief flickering in his emerald eyes, "Oh, my apologies, beloved. I haven't worked on you; I've worked inside you. Would you like me to show you the exact spot?"

He attempted to move his hand towards my bottom, but I grabbed it soon as I could, stopping him halfway from his misdeed.

"Don't you dare." I glared at him.

There was no way in hell I was going to let him touch me right now. If he did, I knew without a doubt that all my self-control would crumble, and the consequences would be an intensification of the agony coursing through my body and my insides.

Jacob laughed, fully aware of my reasons. How could he not? Both he and I remembered every intricate detail of last night, and if it weren't for this relentless pain that sent electric shocks through me with every second, I would be the one seducing him right now.

There was no denying his prowess in the bedroom; it was fair to say he had kept me up for nearly the entire night.

"Okay, I won't," he assured me, pulling me closer and rubbing my back, as if trying to help me find solace, "Do you need Advil? I can get it for you."

"No, don't worry. The pain will fade away soon," I replied, snuggling even closer to his body, relishing in his comforting warmth, "What you can do is stay with me a little while longer."

"Your wish is my command," he said with a smile, pressing a gentle kiss on my lips, "What are your plans for the day?"

"Do I look like I'm allowed to make separate plans when it's none other than your best friend, AKA my dad, getting married?"

"I could help you."

"What's the catch?"

Reading Jacob was effortless for me. It was astonishing how quickly I had come to understand him. I could effortlessly discern his thoughts before they even left his lips. He was like an open book, though there were moments when he stood as the most enigmatic person I had ever encountered.
