Her kiss made his heartbeat start running wild. He felt like he was going to die of excitement the next second. His body remained taut. He didn't even dare to budge a bit. He couldn't help thinking if he was having some kind of illusion.
Hannah kissed him.
He couldn't help shivering again, with his mind going blank. He could feel nothing but the kiss right now. Before that, he had prepared himself for the possibility that she wouldn't allow him to touch her for the rest of his life. Every time he saw her, he had to struggle to quench his desire. However, all his soberness collapsed as soon as she approached with the kiss. Desire started burning in his mind.
He wrapped around her body with both arms, with her nape resting upon his palm. Then he responded with a stronger kiss. The air seemed to be burning with hormones. Nothing else mattered to them right now. He pushed her onto the bed.
"I will be careful."
Even driven by desire, he reserved enough soberness for her safety.
"Don't worry. The doctor said I am still in a safe condition for sex in the sixth month of pregnancy."
However, a month later, it would be risky. Even after what she had said, he still tended to be cautious.
"Oscar," asked Hannah suddenly, "will you let me go after that?"
Just within a second, he felt like his desire had evaded him. All his lust had been quenched. Hannah was brilliant enough to hit what hurt the most, no matter to Oscar or her enemies. She did the same to Sarah when she was still indulging herself in great complacency. When his desire reached the top, she hit him hard.
Oscar let go of her. Hannah could tell that he would never set her free.
"If you wanna trade sex for freedom, I am afraid I gotta say no…"
Never.
Then he lifted the quilt to leave. He walked out of the room. The scent of hormones had all gone. Nothing remained but sadness in the air.
Lying on the bed, she started shedding tears. It hurt so much. But why did he still insist? Were they going to torment each other for the rest of their lives?
Outside the bedroom, Oscar still lingered. He didn't want to make her frightened by letting her see him cry. Of course, he also shed tears of pain.
Leaning against the door, he raised his head slightly, with tears shedding down from the corner of his eyes. He did think about setting her free thousands of times, after which she could make her own choice and live her own life. However, his heart started aching inevitably whenever he thought about that. He couldn't help wondering how he was going to live without her. That was why every time he thought about giving in, something deep inside his heart kept on telling him that he got to insist.
Never give in.
"Oscar." A female voice sounded nearby.
He paused for seconds.
"No, just get back inside." His voice turned a bit more serious.
At this moment, she could tell that it would be a bit risky if she still insisted. So she hurried to nod, "Okay. But Oscar, are you alright?"
"Yes." Said Oscar.
"I believe it's just a matter of time for you to fix your relationship with Hannah. I felt the same at that time. I thought I couldn't make it through. But for the sake of the baby, I managed to hold on. A mother will always learn to be tough on her own. After she gives birth to the baby, I believe it will change her mindset a great deal."
"Alright, time for bed." Oscar didn't show any active response. Instead, he found it repulsive.
Though annoyed, Lillian still forced out a smile, "Alright, I am gonna go back inside. Good night."
But this time, he responded with silence, coupled with a cold expression.
With her teeth clenching, she turned around to leave. As soon as she closed the door, her face turned sulky within a second. She swore to God that the harder to strive for his love, the more motivated she was going to be.
Oscar meant to be hers, she told herself.
After Lillian left, Oscar returned to Hannah's room again. At this moment, Hannah seemed to be sleeping. With dim light shedding on her fair face, she looked pure and adorable.
