As Cassie caressed her fingers on his body's features, Nick froze. He was so nervous that he even held his breath, allowing her to touch his face. She was drunk, but with every touch, his heart skipped a beat.
It caused an electric feeling to rush over his entire body, leaving him unable to move. He had never felt this way before.
As she continued touching him, Nick noticed that Cassie didn't want to stop. Her finger slid down his neck, and then met his sturdy chest.
When she slid her hand down even further, Nick grasped her hand tightly.
"Stop!" Nick growled as he felt like he was about to lose control. He kept breathing faster and faster.
Suddenly, Cassie snapped out of the moment.
Rolling her eyes upward, she stared at Nick confusedly. 'Wait...Why did he stop me?' she wondered.
Meeting her innocent gaze, Nick acknowledged his strong desire towards her, which ran through his entire body. He was flustered, scared and thirsty for what she had to offer.
He didn't want to stop her. Staring at her luscious pink cheeks, he wanted to kiss both of them, and then her lips. Her scent lingered on his body, making him want her even more.
However, his cognitive senses stopped him and suggested, 'If you have sex with her now, you are a bad person. You'll definitely be no better than that man in the booth who was trying to take advantage of her.'
Given that he had respect for women, Nick placed her hand back on the bed gently.
Meeting Cassie's bewildered eyes, he took a deep breath, cleared his throat and said, "It's getting late. Goodnight. I will sleep in the living room and you can call me if you need anything."
Without waiting for her response, Nick quickly made his way out of the bedroom.
Once he was out of the bedroom, he ran to the kitchen table, poured himself a glass of cold water and downed it in one gulp.
He still felt very uneasy. The cold water failed to satisfy his thirst. He was still feeling a surge of lust from the lower part of his body.
After he put the glass down, he ran into the bathroom, took off his clothes and took a cold shower to clear his mind from what happened in the bedroom.
In fact, he even ran an unnecessary bath, but it didn't matter. The only thing he really wanted to do was ease his urge ignited by Cassie, as he didn't want to be projected as a bad person in her eyes. He was better than that.
As soon as the cold water graced his body, he managed to slightly compose himself. However, the desire in him remained strong.
After taking a shower, he jumped into the bath which he already filled. He stayed in it for ten minutes before getting out. He then dried himself off with the towel and put on his pajamas.
Entering the living room, he hurried to the bedroom's door and pressed his ear up against it.
He didn't hear anything, which made him feel relieved.
He took a deep breath. 'If Cassie continued to act that way, I'm not sure if I could control myself, ' he thought.
Making himself comfortable on the couch, he intended to get a good night's sleep.
