Chapter 118: Becoming Gentle
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Samantha’s words failed to nip Timothy’s intentions in the bud, and to make it worse, he even grabbed her wrists and locked them above her head.
She could feel his body getting hotter and hotter even when there were clothes in between them. Even the breath that he exhaled was searing hot.
Her heartbeat sped up uncontrollably and she struggled hard, but all her efforts failed to snap Timothy out of it. On the contrary, her body heat increased in proportion to her struggles, making her feel as though her entire being was about to burn.
If things went on like that, Samantha knew that there was a possibility she might not even be able to control herself, much less Timothy...
She gulped a couple of times and said without thinking, “Timothy, I know you’re uncomfortable right now, so if you really need it, maybe you can go—”
Timothy seemed to have predicted what she was going to say and pinched her chin all of a sudden before she could say it.
The next second, he kissed her forcefully with a passion so intense that it seemed able to swallow everything.
It was more like punishment rather than a kiss!
Samantha could not help but groan. As soon as his ruthlessness acted up, his brutality from the other night appeared out of nowhere in her mind, draining her face of color instantly.
Her pupils contracted uncontrollably and her body trembled spontaneously.
Timothy noticed the change in her mood and his movements stiffened for a moment. Then, he raised his head slightly and looked into Samantha’s black eyes.
There was an obvious look of fear and resistance.
Samantha did not want to display such a fragile side of her in front of Timothy, but fear was as difficult to hide as cold. She could only bite her lip and look away.
She was powerless to stop Timothy’s actions.
He moved his fingers after about half a minute, forcing her to turn her face and look at him. He then lowered his head once more and kissed her lips.
Samantha’s heart sank. She knew that he would do what he wanted without caring how she felt...
However, it did not take long for her to feel that something was amiss.
Timothy’s kiss was not as rough as before, nor was it purely to vent himself as it was the last round. His kiss had become very delicate and soft, as if he was treating someone extremely precious to him.
That kiss was strange yet familiar to Samantha.
Timothy was so cautious when they had their first kiss. He tried everything step by step and his movements were extremely gentle, making her dizzy and drawing her deeper into him.
Samantha’s eyes widened all of a sudden and she wondered if the man on her was Timothy. Why did he suddenly become so gentle?
The moonlight shone in from outside the window and she had a clear look at Timothy’s face under the dim light—it really was him.
His gentleness eased her tension and fear a little bit. Before Samantha’s brain had time to process everything, she became dizzy due to the kiss. Her mind had turned blank while her vision became a blur.
Timothy eventually led her into another world, but she did not know whether it was her inability to resist her own heat or whether there was some other reason behind it.
They had a long night.
…
Early the next morning, Samantha woke up slowly according to her biological clock and strained to open her heavy eyelids. After a few seconds, she felt as if her body had been disassembled and reassembled again, for there were aches and soreness everywhere.
She frowned severely and could not help but inhale sharply.
Memories from the previous night flooded suddenly into her mind, and Samantha’s cheeks turned hot all of a sudden.
She turned her face subconsciously and looked at the other side of the bed. No one was there anymore, suggesting that Timothy had already left.
Samantha finally heaved a sigh of relief. She was glad he was gone, otherwise she really did not know how else to face him.
The phone rang suddenly.
She wrapped her body with the blanket and sat up slowly, following which she reached out for the phone on the bedside table. After picking up the device, she saw that the caller ID was ‘Dr. Sherwood’.
Why did he call her so early?
Although Samantha was puzzled, she nevertheless moved her fingers slightly and prepared to press the answer button.
It was then that the room door was pushed open all of a sudden and Timothy came walking in.
Samantha looked up instinctively and felt her heart skip a beat upon laying eyes on Timothy’s handsome face. Her hand trembled uncontrollably and the phone fell from her hand after she failed to grasp it steadily.
The device fell to the floor with a clatter.
Samantha rushed out of bed to pick it up, but Timothy was even quicker and picked it up before she could. He glanced at the phone screen and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Samantha saw the situation and immediately knew that things were going south.
Although she had explained it very clearly yesterday, she was still confused as to whether Timothy believed her because he never gave her a straight answer.
She was afraid he might lose his temper again...
Samantha was just about to panic when Timothy handed the phone to her all of a sudden. He opened his lips and said in a monotonous manner, “Answer it.”
Samantha’s round eyes blinked several times in disbelief. She wondered if she had heard wrongly because she had heard him allowing her to answer it.
What was going on? Did he believe what she said the night before?
Samantha looked at him suspiciously, then slowly reached out to take the phone from him. She pressed the answer button in an equally slow manner.
“Good morning, Sammy.” Alan’s voice was as gentle as ever on the other end of the line.
Samantha glanced at Timothy and saw that he had not walked away. Furthermore, his expression did not seem to be unhappy and she could not figure out what was in his mind. As a result, she had no choice but to first answer Alan. “Good morning, Dr. Sherwood. What brought you to call me so early today?”
“The final plan for your brother’s treatment has been prepared. I have to arrange a time to examine him with you and the attending doctor, just like before. We can commence treatment if there aren’t any further problems!”
“Really?” Samantha could not help but cover her lips with her hands. Her eyes then brightened with excitement as she answered, “We’ll go whenever you’re free then. I’m available anytime.
“I didn’t expect the final plan to be devised so soon. You must’ve put a lot of time and thought into it. I’m thankful to you and the little saint for all your hard work!”
Alan could not help but chuckle when he listened to Samantha’s happy voice. “It’s my duty to fulfill the promise I made to you.”
“You were under no obligation to do so, but I’m really thankful to you and the little saint!” Samantha’s tone was filled with deep gratitude.
Alan smiled. “See you later.”
Samantha was still thrilled even after hanging up and she unconsciously said to Timothy beside her, “Timothy, I’m so happy that Corey will be saved! He might even be able to wake up soon!”
After speaking, she suddenly realized that they did not seem to be in the kind of relationship where she could just share her happiness like that.
Samantha licked her lips and was about to say something to remedy the situation, but Timothy merely responded in a soft voice. “Mm, that’s good.”
She looked at Timothy in amazement.
Was she still in dreamland? Why was Timothy so easy to talk to that day?
She did not dare to pinch Timothy, so she pinched her leg quietly and immediately frowned in pain.
She was awake...
Timothy seemed to be in a good mood that day and it seemed to be a good opportunity for Samantha. She pursed her lips before opening her mouth again and saying, “Timothy, I’d like....”
