The bed sheets twirled underneath them and every cloth that belonged to them landed onto the mass of the floor without a sound. He could hear her breathing in his ear, her hands making their way around his body, and the heat vibrating off every inch of her skin. Their moans and cries pierced the deathly silent room as their bodies mingled together. Every effort was put into hugging her as close as possible. He hadn’t known for satisfaction to be so overwhelming. Every one of the kisses she planted on him sent unexplainable thrills through his body he felt the need to shut his eyes in order to keep the moment to himself for as long as possible. The expression of love-making had been so foreign to him before, but he thought he was now a little bit closer to understanding its meaning in depth. Other than hugging and kissing, this was probably one of the most intimate ways of expressing love.
When he awoke a few hours later Yuri was quietly sleeping with her head on the far end of the pillow beside him. Kai scooted closer and readjusted his head onto the same pillow so that he might be able to capture her sleeping face into his mind. He’d never seen her so close up before and to finally be able to do so made it all the more special. The thought of what she would say to him when they woke up later worried him a little. Would she deny him and say everything had happened only because the body had called for it? Would she say she didn’t want the ring but her life back? Would he, too, take off the ring? What was he really thinking? Had he kissed her just to satisfy himself because he was greedy? He didn’t know. Kai was confused with all these questions. He did know, though, that being close to her made him feel enchanted. This all had happened for a reason, right? Tilting his head he gave her a peck on the tip of her nose before he finally closed his eyes and slept.
In another few hours when he awoke Yuri was gone. Immediately sitting up he searched around the room and felt relief strike him when he spotted her clothes still on the floor. That was before he turned when he heard something come from the door that led to the bathroom. Getting up from the bed he reached for the doorknob and stopped wondering if he should leave her alone. That was all before he recalled that the lock on the door had never been fixed after his mother accidentally broke it. Kai opened the door anyway and looked inside.
The sink and a stand in shower were all on the right along with a long mirror and a hanger for towels. The tiled floor was a little dusty but it didn’t look too dirty. When he stepped further in, he spotted Yuri half lying inside the white tub with her head leaning against the rim. Her eyes were closed and the water had been muddled with familiar scented soap he once used. A tiny smile encased his face with how peaceful she seemed before he entered the tub and pulled her toward him. Yuri’s eyes shot open in shock and droplets of water from her drenched hair landed on his face.
