Jacob stood still. His body stiffened and his heart skipped a beat as a set of female arms embraced him from behind.
He sneered at her contemptuously and said, "Love? I don't believe in love. Stop being such a baby."
Jacob grabbed her hands to push them away but she tightened her grip. She refused to let him walk away from her.
"You do! You knew what love is. You've just forgotten what it feels like because of me." Emily was too sad to cry out or wail. She just stood there as still as a statue while the magnitude of her loss swept over her.
Jacob melted into soundless oblivion with nothing to grab onto.
But he didn't want to lose his dignity and pride in front of her so he forcibly pushed her arms away and threw her to the bed before he walked out.
Disappointment appeared on Emily's face as she helplessly watched him walk away from her.
'Anyway, it is a step forward.' Emily comforted herself in her mind.
The result of Jacob's full-body examination came out positive. Did this mean that Sean lied to her?
Or, could it be that the problem Jacob had was beyond the capacity of the medical equipments in the hospital to discover?
However, Emily would rather accept that this was another one of Sean's contemptible lie rather than the possibility that there was something wrong with Jacob.
Nevertheless, she would have to get to the bottom of it sooner or later.
...
Ever since that day, Jacob had frozen Emily out. His coldness was quite obvious even to Beryl who sensed that there was something strange going on between her mother and father. But as Beryl was just a naive, little girl. It wasn't too hard for Emily to convince her otherwise with just a simple explanation.
Jacob was switching in between two versions of himself. He and Emily had almost no conversation by day, but he was hot with Emily in the bed at night.
Jacob couldn't tell why he was obsessed with Emily. Was it because of her body? He just knew that his heart ached to be with her when he didn't see her.
But the night would take away his cold disposition and replace it with a lustful beast. He took her like an animal. Her head rocked back against the pillow as he did, and the first moan escaped her lips. It was the only way Jacob knew how to quench his thirst.
"Jacob! Jacob..." Emily called his name, and she grabbed the back of his neck, whimpering in pleasure. He grew larger and harder inside, changing her breathing with every thrust, and hearing her moans timed to his body. "Do you love me?"
Emily repeated the question every night, and she wouldn't stop until she had gotten her answer.
Jacob acknowledged her question with a condescending sneer, but he did not give her an answer. Instead, he moved faster and harder.
"Jacob! Ahhh!" Emily shivered in pure ecstasy after she exploded between her thighs. A hint of red appeared in her eyes as tiny drops of tears trickled down her face. She begged him to go slower.
How could Jacob follow what she had said
after her flushed and dewy eyes only urged him to move faster?
She cried silently underneath him. Her body was his for the taking.
After a while, Emily passed out when she could not take it anymore. Her eyes and nose were red, indicating that she had been crying for a while.
Jacob leaned in and kissed every inch of her face where her tears fell, and slowly held her in his arms. He failed to notice his own gentleness towards her at this moment.
He really didn't hate being with this woman.
He somewhat liked how she made him feel.
No matter how bad his mood was, her presence would instantly brighten up his day. Some bad habits were harder to discard than the others. Sometimes no matter how hard people tried, they couldn't unlearn the bad habits because they had gotten addicted to the feeling.
