That night, Toby devoured Sonia like a ravenous beast. If it weren't that her ability to withstand his manhandling was far better than before, she'd probably pass out from exhaustion like the other two times.
That said, she was still so spent from their night that she lay immobile in bed, so much so that she didn't even want to lift a finger. She just looked at the warm chandelier on the ceiling with droopy eyes.
Toby, on the other hand, stood next to the bed and leisurely put on a dressing gown, looking all sated and beyond refreshed. Seeing so, Sonia turned her head away from him in anger, not wanting to look at him.
She had already begged for mercy so many times, and he would reply to her with 'last one' every time. But what happened in the end?!
Ptui! Men and their lies!
Of course, Toby saw how upset she was with him and knew precisely why, so after tying his dressing gown, he chuckled under his breath and coaxed, "Open your eyes. I'll carry you into the shower."
However, Sonia kept her eyes closed but raised her arms, waving them limply. "Carry me like this. I'm spent. I don't want to move."
This wasn't his first time giving her a shower anyway, so she could very well accept letting him carry her into the bathroom after their night.
Seeing how lazy his girl was, he tapped her nose and said nothing more but carried her into the bathroom.
By the time they came out, it was already four in the wee hours, about two hours before the sun would rise. Toby lifted the covers and put Sonia back in bed before joining her.
Sonia was a little more conscious when her body touched the soft mattress, and she finally opened her eyes. That said, they were still only half open.
She blinked and looked at Toby, mumbling in a kittenish voice while yawning involuntarily, "What time is it?"
"Four o'clock." Toby checked the time on his wristwatch.
At that, she shut her eyes again after hearing it was still so early. "There's still a few hours until the sun rises, and here I thought it's already morning when you're wide awake."
"No, go ahead and sleep." As he tucked her in, she nuzzled in his arms. "Are you not going to sleep? There are still a few hours before we have to get up. Get some sleep. What if you get weary during work?"
"I'm not tired. You go ahead and sleep. I'll watch over you." Toby lay on his side with one hand propping his head up and the other patting her waist, coaxing her to sleep like she was a child.
Very quickly, drowsiness crept up to her following his gentle pats, and she couldn't help yawning again.
"You really are a freak," she mumbled.
"How am I a freak?" Toby quirked an eyebrow.
"Are you not?" Sonia grabbed his collars with both hands. Her eyes were still closed as she complained, "I'm so tired every time after hours of intimacy, and yet you're alive and kicking. You're not even sleepy. Tell me you're not a freak that won't get weary."
Toby chuckled under his breath, "Well, I'm sure you like this freak very much. After all—"
Sonia stirred at once, having a good idea what the man was about to say next. The second she opened her eyes, she hurriedly covered his lips. "Shush! Not another word or I'll bite you!"
She glared daggers at Toby, warning him, looking absolutely vicious. However, to a certain someone, instead of feeling intimidated, he thought she looked absolutely adorable, like an angry toddler.
At that, he stuck his tongue out and licked her palm. Tickled, Sonia withdrew her hand right away and shouted, "Toby Fuller!"
"Speaking." He blinked innocently.
It was as though a bucket of water was doused on Sonia's blazing anger when she saw how innocently he acted, making her feel super uncomfortable.
Alas, she could only bore into the man. However, her eyes turned dry and uncomfortable from all the glaring before she managed to do anything to him.
In the end, she raised a white flag and admitted defeat.
