Kevin was surprised by her doing this. He bent his knees to make it easier for her to tie it. In fact, he'd always tied it himself, and so this intimate gesture was new to him. He quite enjoyed it, more, he was touched by her.
"Okay, finished. You look handsome now." She gave the tie a playful tug. Next Leena arranged the shirt collar and backed up a few steps, surveying her handiwork. She was quite satisfied with her tidying job.
"Thanks. I'll take your praise," Kevin said as he reached out and took her into his arms, followed by kisses. The amorous and affectionate kisses made Leena lose herself in love. She even didn't realize when Kevin put her back on the bed.
"I really have to go now. Close your eyes and catch some more zzz's," Kevin said as he covered her with the quilt. Though the heater had done its job and they were quite warm, he still worried she might catch cold with few clothes on. As much as he loved seeing her in that teddy, he cared about her health and happiness more.
"Okay, take care." Leena blushed. Happy as she was, she was still not used to seeing him being so warm-hearted. It wasn't like him. He was usually very cold and rigid.
Kevin nodded and took his army coat with him before he walked out. His handsome and strong figure gradually disappeared from Leena's sight and she already missed him.
The winter morning was chilly. Kevin shrugged in his coat when he got outside. With only a shirt and coat, most people would be too cold. But not Kevin. He was different. He was a soldier and he was used to it. His training allowed him to shrug off all but the hottest or coldest temperatures. When he took his afternoon break, he saw Louisa there. She got embarrassed at dinner last night and left in the middle. Kevin wasn't happy to see her again. He made an exasperated noise.
"What is it now?" Kevin asked impatiently with a frown. Because they were on base and the commander's office was just a stone's throw away, he couldn't force her to leave.
"Kevin, please don't be angry. If you get angry for just seeing me, you'll blow your top when you see what I have for you!" Louisa said with a cunning smile. She knew that the relationship between Leena and that foreign guy was more than just a friendship. She wondered what spell Leena cast on Kevin and Gerard that they were so mesmerized by her. Fortunately, Louisa knew what kind of woman Leena was. She was going to show those men the truth, otherwise they'd be tricked by this tramp.
