Passion(2/2)

While these feelings had made Lefiya act so recklessly, Ethan could clearly feel that her emotions were all there in front of him, and Lefiya had been able to transmit them all with a single action, that was rather insignificant if he wanted to compare it to what he did with Ais, but that wasn't important at the moment as he, now pretty close to her, made him able to feel her heart pounding loudly, and quickly, against his chest.

This, brought his heartbeats to rise almost as quickly as hers while Lefiya, lost in her most remote thoughts, continued to be held to him, as if all the anxiety she had felt before was just an illusion while, she decided to do something that brought Ethan to flinch..

As if the same force that brought her to act a second ago became even stronger, Lefiya started moving her tongue, asking for access in his mouth while Ethan couldn't help but silently gulp. He knew that, from his experience, he wouldn't be able to stop, nor himself, nor Lefiya if they proceeded further, and a part of him, really wanted to stop...

While he was choosing if he had to stop her or not, Ethan remembered what he told Kim as, he made up his mind..

Without hesitation, Ethan decided it was best to let her act as she sees fit, and then see what happens next.

Although this may sound contradictory, Ethan didn't intend to lay a finger on her, and this because, the fact that she was going so far, all of a sudden, brought an insatiable curiosity in his heart to know how this situation would end.

These thoughts, made him move his hands to reach her knees and, once that was done, he took them before bringing them close to his hips. This, brought Lefiya to twitch but, even though Ethan expected her starting to get embarrassed, he could see as she slowly relaxed before she continued what she was previously doing as if nothing happened at all.

Feeling her wrapping her legs around his hips, Ethan couldn't help but sigh in his mind as, he just decided to go to the bed while, another unexpected situation happened as Lefiya finally decided to release his lips as she muttered

"I.. really, really love you.."

Lefiya's words, although always said with the same low tone of voice, were received all too well by Ethan while the latter, felt really shocked. It was just impossible for him that she would have been able to say it so clearly, and this, was what actually made him decide to not go any further as, he didn't believe he would be able to hold on...

Deciding to stop, and to pay for the night as well, just in case, Ethan took her to the bed as he laid her gently on it.

While he was trying to do so, Lefiya realized what was going on, but instead of trying to thicken his lips again, she decided to go for something lighter.

In fact, she brought her lips close to his cheek as she wrapped her arms around his neck, before starting to leave small, but delicate kisses on his cheek that led Ethan's hands, as he was about to release her, to flinch. Although he had just laid her on the bed, Lefiya quietly continued what she was doing as, Ethan decided it was time to ask.

"Lefiya..I thought you didn't want to go any further.."

Hearing his words, brought Lefiya, that was continuing to leave small kisses on his cheek, to stop for a moment as she replied

"..I wish to go further..but the embarrassment.. I feel, makes me do things I don't want to...like..pushing you away..."

Her answer, brought Ethan to have even more questions to ask, but before he was able to do so, he was stopped by Lefiya who, brought a hand on his face, where until a few seconds ago she was leaving numerous kisses while her lips formed a big, and sincere smile.

Making eye-contact with her, Ethan could feel that the situation was quickly escalating, and, even though he would have liked to continue, he knew that he promised Kim he wouldn't do so. Looking down for a second, he laid next to her on the bed before embracing her for the second time as he slowly added

"You know that we can't proceed further.."

The fact she could feel that even he no longer seemed so determined by his words, led Lefiya to nod. In fact, even though she felt she could do whatever she felt like doing, she didn't want to bring problems to him for her own behaviour...

"Yes..but don't make such a saddened expression. I don't mind..when, I just want to know we will have our time to do so... in the future.."

Without even making a second pass, Ethan replied with a 'yes' as Lefiya knew she had to release him, but, even though she did so, he didn't move an inch while she was about to ask if there was something wrong before he placed his lips on hers.

Surprised, Lefiya's eyes widened a little while he, without hesitation, 'asked' to enter in her mouth with his tongue as she decided, now that it was him having the lead, to let him do whatever he wanted..

Her decisive response, brought a small smile on Ethan's lips as, he continued to 'search' for her tongue while in his mind, he knew they would still have to have a proper conversation about what happened now, but, he decided to think about it at a later date before, after around an entire minute passed, he released her lips.

At this, Lefiya sighed rather heavily as she thought he would go away now, but, he surprised her again as he moved his lips to face her forehead before leaving a kiss in the middle of it.

"...I have to go now, but what do you want to do..? If you want, I can bring you ba--"

Before letting him finish his words, Lefiya immediately shook her head as she added

"I'll rest here for a while..after that, I can return alone.."

Saying so, she was about to close her eyes before Ethan gave her a smile as he added

"I'll come to pick you up after I'm done..."

Ethan, obviously remembered that he had to be with Ais after he returned, and he still planned to do so, but, he felt he just couldn't let her return alone.

His words, brought Lefiya to smirk a little as she saw that he, after caressing her one last time, was heading towards the door, but, she didn't want to let him go so easily.

"You are already acting as...my lover..I like it.."

Hearing this brought Ethan, that was opening the door, to twitch in surprise as he brought his free hand behind his neck.

"..Obviously. As I said before, we are officially a couple"

Nodding at his words, she saw that he exited the door while, in her mind, she had various thoughts, but all of them were quickly swept away by a great feeling of sleepiness that quickly brought her into the world of dreams..

---

After exiting their room, Ethan stopped walking as, he inhaled a great amount of air before exhaling slowly as, what happened in the room behind him, was something that still made his heart beat so fast that he could feel as if it could explode in his chest at any moment...

'..I don't know what happened, but I honestly am thankful for this opportunity to see this side of her..'

Without things to think about, Ethan could only reach a simple conclusion, as the person he was kissing just a few seconds ago, was still Lefiya, but, it seemed as if the switch that 'regulated' her embarrassment, as well as all the doubts that blocked her from being honest, had disappeared and, as a reaction to it, that switch was completely turned off..

This was the only reason Ethan decided to continue, even if Lefiya would regret it after clearing her mind, he knew she wasn't the same person he met a month ago. Even if she would feel surely embarrassed, or conscious about him, he didn't care at all, as that meant, he had to let her feel it was fine to 'turn' her switch off, for the second time, as well as every time she was alone with him...

Smiling at his own thought, he could already feel this was quickly becoming his new determination as, he went towards Kim as the latter was resting.

"..Kim, are you awake?"

Hearing these words, Kim opened an eye as he could see Ethan in front of him.

"..Young lad. I thought you had something important to talk about with your girlfriend..?"

At this question, he couldn't help but smile as he brought his hand in his pocket before making valis appear in his hands.

"..Yes, everything's fine now, Kim. As I am busy right now, she decided to remain here instead of going home, so, I will pay for the night as well.."

Placing the amount of money needed for a night on the table, brought Kim to be left speechless as he saw the boy quickly exiting the Inn.

Curious, Kim glanced at the table as he wanted to see how many Valis he had put on the latter, and, verifying that the quantity was right, led him to smile.

'I understood already what kind of person that lad is..but I still wonder what happened for him to be so happy...'

Asking himself this question, Kim saw Aya exiting from the kitchen with a plate in her hands as, the latter, had a wide smile on her face as she shouted

"Papa! Look at this, I managed to cook the steak without scalding the sides!"

Saying so, she brought the plate closer to her Papa as the latter confirmed it was indeed as she said as, he couldn't help but bring a hand on her head.

"Aya, I'm so proud of you! This Inn will be yours in the future, so the fact you want to take care of it by being a chef makes me even more proud..."

Kim, was already 49 years old. And, even though he was still young to be considered on the verge of dying, he wanted to see his daughter realize her dreams...

Hearing her Papa's words, Aya's smile became even more bright as she immediately nodded

"I will do my best, Papa!"

Saying so, Aya immediately decided to return to the kitchen as, by opening the door, Kim saw his wife dealing with the other dishes as she, upon seeing that Aya returned, smiled as well as she asked what her Papa said to her....

'I'm really a blessed man..'

That was all he thought as he saw the door closing itself as he decided to return 'sleeping' without hesitation...
