“Callie... You wouldn't really do this to me, would you? Please, don't! I won't be able to sleep at all tonight!” Kallum uttered.
Calista didn't respond, which made Kallum a bit anxious.
“Callie, I'm begging you. Can you untie me, please? I promise I won't make you suffer. I'll just hold you while I sleep. I absolutely won't do anything more!” Kallum wanted to hold her and see how things would go from there.
He waited attentively for Calista's response, but after a while, all he heard was her steady breathing. She was truly exhausted, managing to sleep even amidst Kallum's noise.
At this point, Kallum was genuinely on the verge of tears. How on earth am I going to get through the night?
He resignedly laid back, reflecting on the passion that had just transpired. His heart thumped fiercely twice, and the restrained perspiration almost soaked the entire bedsheet.
Her body was warm and enticing, the kind that any man, once experienced, would find hard to let go of.
It seemed as though he hadn't truly savored it, merely taking a light taste.
He couldn't allow himself to dwell on it. Otherwise, he would have an erection for the rest of the night.
Regardless of Kallum's dissatisfaction with their previous encounter, he had at least won her over. This was indeed a great start, and he couldn't afford to overthink it.
Even so, when Calista woke up the next day, Kallum's dark circles were quite noticeable. He had spent the entire night tormented by desire, and the pitiful thing was that he couldn't even find relief for himself.
Hence, when Calista woke up, he glared at her, filled with resentment as if it had taken a physical form.
Seeing Kallum's listless gaze directed at her, Calista finally felt a twinge of compassion. Thinking that Kallum wouldn't pose any threat after an entire night had passed, she walked toward him.
The previous night, she had actually intended to indulge him a few more times, aiming to completely rid him of the effects of the drug. However, she hadn't anticipated just how exhausting it would be. Therefore, she really couldn't be blamed.
“Untie me.”
Kallum's voice was husky. As he watched her approach step by step, a flicker of light suddenly flashed across his dark eyes.
Feeling a sense of danger, Calista withdrew the hand she had initially extended, awkwardly chuckling twice. “Well, the responsibility for solving a problem should fall on the person who created it. I'll get Yulissa to sort this out for you.”
“I dare you!” He was disheveled under the covers, so he couldn't let others see him like that.
After some thought, Calista did indeed feel something was amiss. Slowly, she fetched a fruit knife from beside the room's refrigerator and lodged it into the wooden headboard behind Kallum.
“Look at you, full of energy,” she said. “Go ahead and free yourself!”
