**Chapter 165: Not Even With Me p>
“How is your mother holding up?” Roman’s voice drifted to me from behind, rich and soothing, weaving through the gentle sound of the bathwater’s soft hiss.
I released a slow breath, watching a small bubble drift lazily past my knee before it popped. “Paler,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. “Weaker. And she’s lost a lot of weight too p>
As if sensing my need for comfort, his arms encircled me from behind, his solid presence anchoring me beneath the water’s surface. I leaned back into his chest, surrendering to the warmth radiating from him as steam curled around us like a protective cocoon.
“I’m truly sorry, Sav,” he said, his tone heavy with sympathy.
I tilted my head back to meet his gaze, which was soft, brimming with a familiar ache of empathy that I both cherished and resented in equal measure. A faint smile tugged at my lips. “You don’t need to be sorry. It’s not your fault. Besides, she’s handling it better than I expected. Everyone seems to be p>
He brushed his thumb gently against my jaw, a tender gesture that sent a flicker of warmth through me. “I’ll carve out some time soon to visit her at the hospital. I should have done that already p>
“That would really brighten her day,” I replied softly, a small warmth blossoming in my chest. “Thank you for that p>
His smile widened, the corners of his mouth lifting in a way that made my heart flutter. I leaned in slightly, intending for our kiss to be brief—a soft, grateful touch of lips—but Roman had a way of turning the simplest moments into something deeper. His hand found its way to the back of my neck, pulling me closer, deepening the kiss until I felt the air around us thicken with an unspoken intensity.
His other hand glided to my waist beneath the water, tracing a path up my spine that sent shivers across my skin. I gasped against his lips as his fingers began to draw lazy circles along my back.
“Roman…” I breathed, my voice a mix of a sigh and a plea.
He didn’t respond verbally. Instead, his mouth traveled down my neck, leaving a trail of warmth that ignited my senses. I shivered as his breath ghosted over my collarbone, sending prickles of anticipation coursing through me.
But then, his hand moved to my breast, and that familiar squeeze followed. Yet this time, it felt different—rougher. A sharp pain flickered through me, brief but undeniable. I hissed softly, my body instinctively tensing at the unexpected sensation.
His movements stilled immediately. He pulled back, concern flooding his features as his eyes widened. “Did I hurt you p>
“No,” I replied hastily, shaking my head, even as the tenderness throbbed beneath his palm. “It’s fine. Just… a little sensitive, I guess p>
His brows knitted together in worry. “Sav, are you absolutely sure p>
I didn’t want to invite his concern or the questions that would follow. All I craved was to feel him, to drown out the noise of everything else. So, instead of answering, I leaned up and kissed him again, silencing whatever thoughts lingered on his lips. I felt his breath hitch as I pressed my bare body closer to his, the water swirling softly around us.
The tension in his shoulders eased, and without hesitation, his fingers slid lower. In an instant, I felt him slip inside me, a startled moan escaping my lips and echoing against the tiled walls. My hips instinctively began to move against his finger, craving the friction that ignited every nerve in my body.
In the back of my mind, I was aware of Lizzie in the living room, likely trying to focus on her horror movies, pretending she couldn’t hear us. I knew I should keep quiet out of respect for our guest, but with every touch from Roman, my rational thoughts scattered like autumn leaves in the wind.
Tonight was supposed to be about discussing our future, about babies and dreams yet to be realized. Yet here I was, consumed by the way he unraveled me, how effortlessly his finger slid in and out of me.
His lips brushed against my ear, his voice a low, rough whisper. “I need to taste you p>
Before I could form a response, Roman stood up, lifting me from the tub with ease. Water cascaded down our bodies, splattering onto the floor in tiny droplets. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist, clinging to his shoulders as he reached for a towel. In one fluid motion, he enveloped us both in its softness, careful not to lose his footing.
By the time my back met the bed, my heart raced wildly in my chest. Roman’s mouth was everywhere, trailing kisses along my collarbone, my throat, and the curve of my shoulder. Each kiss felt urgent, as if he were trying to memorize every inch of me.
He descended lower, his lips finding my breasts, kissing one softly before moving to the other, his mouth warm and wet. I arched my back, gasping as he took my nipple into his mouth, gently sucking while my fingers tangled in his damp hair.
“Please…” I found myself begging, though I wasn’t entirely sure for what as his tongue traced a wet path down my body until it reached the very part I craved him the most.
When he finally looked up at me, his gaze was dark and searching, as if he were waiting for my permission. I answered him with a breathless smile, my heart pounding.
“Roman p>
As the night unfolded, the weight of my mother’s illness seemed to dissolve in the heat of Roman’s embrace. Each kiss, each touch, was a reminder of the life that still thrived amidst the shadows of uncertainty. In that moment, I realized that while the world outside remained fraught with pain and worry, here, with him, I could carve out a sanctuary. The intimacy we shared felt like a lifeline, a bridge connecting the fragments of my life that had begun to splinter under the pressure of grief. Roman’s presence was a balm, soothing the raw edges of my heart, and for the first time in a long while, I allowed myself to feel something other than despair—hope, desire, and a flicker of joy.
In the aftermath of our shared vulnerability, I understood that love could coexist with pain. The tenderness in Roman’s touch reminded me that amidst the chaos, there were still moments worth savoring. As we lay entwined, I felt the promise of a future that, while uncertain, was still filled with potential. Together, we would navigate the complexities of life, facing whatever challenges lay ahead. In Roman, I found not just a lover but a partner willing to stand by my side, ready to embrace the dreams we had yet to unfold. And in that quiet, intimate space, I made a silent vow to honor both my mother’s struggle and the love that blossomed in the midst of it all.
