Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 194

Reiner is still fast asleep and I was working hard to resist my urge to reach out my hand to touch his wonderfully unique red hair. Seeing his face still and up close made me realize all the more how good looking he is. His eyelashes were auburn, slightly lighter and not as red compared to his hair, and long. His nose and lips were also beautifully shaped. They usually made him look so manly but right now they made him look quite adorably cute. He seems to be in a deep sleep so I guess he won’t wake up if…

I reached out my right hand slowly towards his head until finally I could feel his hair lightly rubbing against my fingertips. Wow! His hair is much softer than I imagined. This feel a little like stroking an orange little baby fox. Enjoying the sensation, I moved my hand closer to stroke his hair lightly. Looking at his face, I was relieved that he was still fast asleep. Playing and teasing him a bit like this was making me feel quite cheerful and I could feel a smile on my lips. I stared at his face for a while as I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the night.

He wouldn’t wake up if I touched his lips, right? I thought optimistically as I reached out my fingertips towards his beautiful lips. Please just let me touch them softly a little. I brushed my thumb ever so softly on his lower lip feeling its warm and soft touch on my fingertip along with the warmth from his breathing. He looks so precious in that moment, and I wanted to thank him for taking care of me so well.

“Ah!” I yelped in surprise when I felt something warm and wet on my thumb as Reiner took my thumb into his mouth and began sucking it lightly. Instinctively, I started to pull back my hand but he caught my wrist with his hand making it impossible for me to move. He continued sucking and licking my thumb as his now-opened blue eyes gazed back at me. His warm tongue on my skin is making my body shiver a little.

“Are you done playing with me?” he asked seductively after he released my thumb from his warm and wet lips.

“Sorry, I woke you…I mean, when did you wake up?” I asked in a shy voice. He hasn’t been awake all this time, right?

“Actually, I woke up when you woke up. When you first stirred in your sleep, it woke me. I’m a very light sleeper. I’m an ex-mercenary, so yeah…” Reiner explained as his eyes lit up teasingly.

“So, you were awake when I touched your hair?” I asked for confirmation.

“Yup. When you touched my hair, stared at my face, and stroke my lips, I was awake throughout all those things,” Reiner confirmed my worst ever suspicion. I felt blood rush to my face and knew that I must be blushing hard.

“Would you like to confess to me why you were playing with me in my sleep?” Reiner asked in a seemingly innocent voice. He must be playing with me again.

“I…thought you looked cute,” I replied, deciding to be honest.

“Me…cute? That’s the first time someone’s called me cute,” Reiner replied seeming quite confused at my words.

“I mean…you looked cute while you were sleeping. When you’re awake you’re very manly and not…cute, I guess?” I tried to explain. I wasn’t sure if this was helping.

“Are you feeling better?” Reiner asked as moved closer to me to place his hand softly on my forehead to check if I had a fever.

“I’m feeling better. I don’t think I have a fever either. Umm…thank you for taking such good care of me. Did you…umm…clean me and change my clothes?” I asked with shaky voice. I sort of already knew the answer though.

“…Yeah, I did,” Reiner replied with a tight smile.

“…So, you saw…” I mumbled softly.

“Sorry! I didn’t mean to see you naked,” Reiner apologized as he stood up from his seat and bowed to me.

“It’s ok. I didn’t mean that...Thank you. I wouldn’t have wanted the maids to see me that way…” I replied and my voice trailed off as my mind recalled how Lucien treated me so roughly.

I didn’t mind that Reiner saw my naked body at all. I just didn’t want him to see and touch my filthy and messed up body. If he cleaned me that he probably saw it all, the hickeys on my body that Lucien intentionally left and the traces of his seed on my inner thighs and legs. He’s probably disgusted with me deep inside and I couldn’t blame him. Afterall, right now, I feel pretty disgusted with myself too.
