Cindy started to feel embarrassed as Ian looked at her. No matter how much they talked dirty to each other, she was still not thick-skinned enough for her to do something like that even if she had the strength to.
On one hand, she was worried that she couldn't do it well, whereas on the other hand, she had a hard time lowering her pride.
She could only blame it on her conservative upbringing.
Ian leaned closer to kiss her while he started to coax her into it. "It is alright. Just give it a try." Although he might have exaggerated some things, he would never lie to her.
The feelings of gratification from being active and passive were definitely different.
She listened to him and gave it a go, but she couldn't finish with her current physical state. He still had to take over the reins when they were both close.
Even though the session had ended with him being the one in control, he was still happy about the unexpected obedience of the woman who was extremely lazy in bed.
With them not being in their best condition, he opted for the most basic and straightforward way to satisfy their urges. They only went for one round before they stopped doing it.
Cindy used her remaining drop of energy to raise her hand and dropped it on his chest. "This is so annoying. I have to take a shower again," she grumbled.
Ian grabbed her hand with a chuckle and planted a kiss on it. "Go ahead and sleep. I'll wash you."
And that was exactly what she did. He slowly carried her to the bathroom and gave her a quick wash before placing her back on the bed.
After she rolled onto her side, she fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Cindy was already resting, Ian went into the bathroom to clean any bodily fluids off his body. He later went to bed and leaned against the headboard as he lit a cigarette.
Smokers would often say that taking a puff after sex gave an ingodly sense of satisfaction. That was exactly how he was feeling now after taking a drag off his cigarette.
Ian soon lowered his hand to gently caress her head as though Cindy was a fragile, small animal.
His gaze further dropped, only to see her snoring away with her body rolled up like a baby. He couldn't help but think that this was the kind of life he had dreamed for himself.
The person occupying both his bed and his heart were the same woman.
As thoughts began to swim through his head, he breathed more of the smoke until the cigarette had shortened by half. It was only then that he lay down and turned off the light.
Letting out a long breath, he was filled with a sense of contentment as he hugged Cindy in his arms.
It was probably due to them being exhausted to their bones that their sleep this night was especially deep.
By the time that they were woken up by Ian's ringtone the second day, it was already almost 12:00PM.
Ian flipped over while blindly searching for his phone and when he had it in his hand, his squinting eyes saw the caller ID.
He then unwillingly accepted the call before greeting the caller. "Ms. Jones," he called out in his sleepy voice.
Cindy had been woken up by the call as well. She could guess that Hannah was probably calling to talk about business with Ian.
She snuggled into his chest and leaned in to eavesdrop on the conversation.
Hannah was politely asking Ian how his break had gone, and if he had the time to drop by the company today.
Despite her courteous tone, he knew he had no choice but to agree to it. Managers' words were usually more of a command than a request, anyway.
Ian told Hannah that he had the time to stop by in the afternoon and would give her a call before he arrived.
"Alright," Hannah hummed in agreement. She seemed to hesitate for a bit before she added, "There are some big projects that are eager to cast you as part of the team. We have some things that we need to consider, too. I hope you can come over for us to have a proper discussion about this."
She was indirectly talking about the contract.
If he ended up choosing not to extend his contract period with the company, it wouldn't benefit the company in any way for him to accept such wonderful job offers.
This was why Hannah was so eager to try to get Ian to sign for an extension before he made any decision about the drama offers.
He didn't answer her, and only said that they would talk after he had swung by the company.
Hannah could actually detect the traces of sleep in his voice. As she did not want to disturb him any further, she mentioned a few more things before she finally hung up.
Since Ian's hand was now free, he raised it to wrap it around Cindy's body.
She was already wide awake by then. "The company probably wants to discuss with you about the extension of the contract. You have to be clear about what you really want," she kindly reminded him.
"Yup, I got it," Ian reassured her as he rubbed his chin against her forehead. "Don't worry. I know what to do."
