At that ti, she will definitely return to him. Slowly, she will have no choice but to stay near him for the delicious food.
Once the dinner was over, Ivy stood up to wash the dishes, but Silas stopped her, "No need, I will do it."
"No! You made the dishes! I will wash them." Ivy stubbornly insisted.
Silas shook his head and explained, "The water is too cold. Your period date is near, if your hands and feets cos constantly in contact with cold water, you will experience severe period cramps."
Silence. Ivy fell silent, her cheeks slowly turned crimson, and she muttered, "I... you.. I will... I will return to the room."
Compared to her embarrassnt, Silas was relatively calm and even nodded, "Alright. I will make carom seed water for you."
Ivy stuttered, "No need... I... I will make it myself."
"No." Silas stopped with a displeased expression on his face, "Listen to ."
With that, he ignored Ivy and washed the dishes. Ivy watched as Silas took one teaspoon of carom seed, added it to half a cup of water, and boiled it for 10 minutes before straining the carom seed and serving water to Ivy.
Once it was slightly lukewarm, Silas motioned for Ivy to drink it. She paused for a brief mont before drinking it.
Her expression sruched in distaste. It was bitter. But Ivy knew the benefits of carom seeds. They help in digestion and deal with the acidity during periods.
Drinking it in advance can significantly reduce the pain during the period. After finishing it, Ivy saw Silas looking at her with an appreciative gaze.
"Good girl." He praised before taking away the cup, causing Ivy’s cheeks to flush red. It took her a lot of effort to calm down.
Once Silas returned, he led Ivy to his room and said in a gentle voice, "You lie down first, and I will go take a shower."
Ivy: (o_0)! Why does it sound so suggestive?
’You are truly filled with filth! How can you think about such stuff?’ Ivy chided herself, yet she nodded and lay on the bed.
Her heart was beating wildly as a faint scent only unique to Silas assaulted her nose, making her feel intoxicated.
She peeked at the bathroom door, and after making sure that Silas won’t return any ti soon, she rolled over on his bed, inhaling the scent greedily.
Her tensed body relaxed, and she giggled softly. These mont of peace was a luxury to her and she wanted to cherish them as much as she could.
Soon, Silas erged from the bathroom, and by then, Ivy had already returned to her original position, acting as if the girl who was rolling on his bed wasn’t her at all.
"You are done..." Midway through her sentence, Ivy froze. She gaped at the sight in front of her. Lean, muscular body assaulted her view.
What attracted her attention the most was the sculpted abs tempting her to touch it. Broad shoulder... narrow waist.
A water droplet slowly slid down from his chiselled jaws to his sexy Adam’s apple, down to his well-built pecs, making its way to the strong abs.
She watched as the water droplet slowly faded into the white towel, which was loosely secured around his narrow waist.
Ivy finally realized what the novels ant when they said walking aphrodisiac.
"You wanted to say sothing?" Silas’s deep, magnetic voice echoed in her ears, making her ears a bit pink.
"I... no.. you.. Should get dressed hurriedly!" Ivy dropped those words and imdiately covered herself with a blanket.
Seeing her behavior, Silas chuckled and was about to tease her when he heard the sound of fake snoring likely made by Ivy, and amusent filled his heart.
She... was she truly pretending to be asleep when he was talking with her just 3 seconds ago? How... cute!
It took Silas a lot of effort to prevent himself from hugging Ivy directly, and he wore the casual white t-shirt and black sweatpants from earlier.
Soon, he lay beside Ivy and froze for a re second. Ivy’s lavender-like sll flooded his nose, making his heart beat erratically.
Did she roll over the bed before finding a suitable position or...
Silas’s eyes brightened, and he pursed his lips to prevent himself from chuckling with delight. Instead, he shifted near Ivy and tried to close the distance between them. Once near Ivy, he called out in a soft voice,
"Would you mind if I snuggle near your nape?" His velvety voice was low and raspy, making Ivy’s ears turn even redder.
However, the rare vulnerability in his voice made her forget about the dirty thoughts, and her mind was clouded with worry.
"Alright." She whispered and finally ca out of the blanket. She pretended to be calm, but her flushed expression said it all.
She wasn’t calm at all!
Silas pretended not to notice her crimson cheeks, scooted near her, and placed his one hand on her waist, while his head neared her ears and her nape was slowly sprayed with warm breath.
Ivy bit her lips to bite back the moan and closed her eyes in despair. She was dood!
She wasn’t so innocent person... her body was just too sensitive.
"Good night," Silas muttered under his breath, making Ivy feel even more aroused... She never denied that she had feelings for him.
And now... under the silence of the dark night, the lustful thoughts she harbored about him started to surface. The scalding warm hand on her waist was separated just by a thin fabric, which wasn’t helping at all.
Helpless, she closed her eyes and started to count in her heart, and eventually the entire day’s exhaustion ca rushing back and she fell asleep.
Once her breathing had turned even, Silas opened his eyes and stared at her side profile. Due to his superpower, his senses had sharpened.
Ivy’s irregularly fast beating heart told him everything he knew.
’For whatever reason, you are running away from , Ivy...I will find it and solve it. You have taken that 1 step which I have been waiting for you to take, now... I will take the remaining 99 steps.’
