Jane didn't expect that Nathan would respond to her kiss while sober. At this moment, Nathan was not under the influence of alcohol, yet he was kissing her back willingly. Her heart tingled when he smothered her lips with demanding eagerness.
Jane could only close her eyes and savor the moment. Her heartbeat was so loud in her ears.
Badum! Badum! Badum!
She anchored her arms around his neck, grabbing his hair as she pulled his head closer to her. With her action, Nathan deepened the kiss further, savaging her lips. All the emotions he accumulated when Jane was back in a coma were resurfacing, his body, his arms and his lips moving on their own accord.
His tongue began to trace the soft fullness of her lips, his teeth nibbling and biting her. As he pried her mouth open, he thrust his tongue inside her mouth, tasting and licking hers. Jane welcomed him as she intertwined her tongue with his. The two wrestled and danced inside her mouth, a soft moan escaping her lips.
'Damn it! Why is it that every moment without him feels like an eternity? I truly miss this guy so much. I can't stop my feelings for him any longer.' Jane's heart ached, her soul weighed down by the unrelenting yearning that had taken hold of her. She felt like a ship lost at sea, tossed about by the stormy waves of her feelings.
And just as Jane struggled with her emotions, Nathan was trapped in the same emotional turmoil. For an entire week, he had been consumed by worry for her, a gnawing concern that had settled deep within him like a festering wound. He couldn't help but wish for the day when he could witness her waking up from that coma state, a moment he had longed for. But this time, it felt different from the previous situation wherein he wanted her to live just because he was hell-bent to do his revenge against her.
Her absence for a week and the thought of Jane disappearing forever because of her illness made Nathan realize how desperate he was to keep her alive. The undeniable attraction he had for Jane was getting stronger and stronger as time went by as if their connection was an unbreakable bond, an invisible thread that bound their hearts together, refusing to loosen its grip.
"What's the matter?" Nathan inquired, his voice laced with deep concern. He extended his hand towards her, but Jane quickly stepped backward, evading his touch.
"I'm going to rest now." She walked towards the door, not looking back at Nathan.? "The kiss... just treat it as my sign of gratitude for saving my life today."
Nathan's expression turned grim when he heard that. The swift shift in her demeanor left him wondering if she was intentionally playing mind games with him. As frustration began to well up within him, he couldn't deny the rising annoyance and disappointment he felt. Jane had abruptly left him hanging, and it didn't sit well with him.
Determined not to let her manipulate his emotions, Nathan clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He couldn't allow her to get under his skin like this. He knew he wasn't accustomed to feeling this way, and it was unsettling. Without a second thought, he bolted out of his study room and into the hallway, determined to catch up with Jane and confront her about the sudden change in her behavior.
Nathan's patience had worn thin, and frustration bubbled up inside him like a simmering volcano. In a swift motion, he grabbed Jane by her elbow, effectively halting her from taking another step away from him. His voice trembled with a mix of emotions, his annoyance evident.
"Why? Why are you putting me through this?" Nathan asked her, his tone heavy with exasperation and confusion. He couldn't comprehend why she was putting him on this emotional rollercoaster, and the frustration in his voice made it clear that he had reached a breaking point.
He didn't know what to feel anymore. Nathan found himself trapped in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, leaving him utterly bewildered and confused. He was having an internal turmoil that left him questioning his own feelings.
At one moment, he harbored a deep-seated resentment towards Jane, yet, at the same time, an unexpected tenderness had begun to bloom within him, a sentiment he had never anticipated. Now, his heart became a battleground where the lines between love and loathing blurred, and it left him utterly disoriented.
He had once believed he was in love with Abigail, Jane's sister, convinced of his affections, but this enigmatic woman had infiltrated his emotions in a way he couldn't comprehend. The confusion was a storm raging within him, and Nathan found himself lost in a sea of contradictory feelings.
Meanwhile, Jane regarded him with a contemptuous sneer, her tone dripping with disdain as she delivered her cutting words. "Nathan Sparks," she spat his name out with a bitter edge, "I suppose I've finally come to a clear realization—I don't want you in my life any longer." Her words hung heavily in the air, a sharp contrast to the once-intimate connection they had shared a while ago.
"Don't waste your time falling for me, and don't bother with your kindness," she continued, her voice laced with a cold detachment. "I've outgrown the need for it." Her declaration echoed with finality, signaling a profound shift in their relationship, leaving Nathan stunned by her sudden rejection.
Having uttered those words to Nathan, Jane abruptly withdrew her hand from his grasp and proceeded to leave him standing alone in the hallway, her departure leaving a palpable sense of distance between them. But unknown to Nathan, Jane left him with tears in her eyes.
