Jason looked straight at her and stood up, "I'm gonna take a shower. Scoot over after you're done with your drink."
Sophia let out a faint "Okay".
It wasn't until Jason had disappeared into the bathroom that Sophia finally let out a deep sigh, cursing her own weakness. How had she so easily given in?
The tea was still hot, so Sophia distracted herself with a round of her favorite mobile game, slowly finishing her drink. Remembering Jason's words, she obediently moved over to the inside of the bed.
Closing her eyes, she felt a soothing warmth in her stomach, a comforting ease spreading through her.
Soon, she heard Jason emerge from the bathroom, sitting at the edge of the bed toweling his hair, his tall figure casting a shadow over her. She cracked her eyes open to sneak a peek, then quickly shut them again.
Jason turned off the lights and lay down.
"Asleep yet?" his voice suddenly pierced the darkness.
Half-opening her eyes, Sophia found herself in a close face-to-face with Jason.
It was unclear who initiated it, but the moment their lips met, Sophia instinctively closed her eyes.
He had used her peach-flavored toothpaste, sweet against her lips, while her mouth still bore the bitterness of the medicine. Jason's hands cradled the back of her head, tirelessly transferring his sweetness to her, willingly swallowing her bitterness.
Sophia greedily absorbed his sweetness, moving closer to him without thinking.
Jason's kisses grew more passionate, their hearts and rhythms becoming increasingly erratic, emotions teetering on the edge of control.
Just when Sophia was lost in the moment, Jason suddenly stopped, pressing his forehead against hers, breathing heavily.
Sophia could feel his restraint, and it touched her more deeply than anything else had before.
In the dim moonlight, she quietly watched him, their hearts pounding in unison.
After a moment, Jason lay back down, his voice rough, "Let's sleep."
It was both a reassurance for her and a means to calm himself.
