Chapter 191 - The Zipper Incident

Reuben wasted no time in turning that simple kiss into a hot and heavy make-out session.

One could either call it basic instinct as a man or the fact that he was following Lina's lead at times, but there was one thing for sure and that was the fact that he had already gotten a hang of what to do next in this situation.

Reuben had always been a quick learner and he did not forget to do the same this time around.

The biggest proof of this matter was the soft ragged breaths that Lina was drawing every few seconds in order to keep up with his pace.

His muscular and strong arms were on either side of her body, bearing his weight so that he did not burden her in any way.

Lina's arms were now wrapped around his neck as she pulled him closer as a result the space between their bodies further decreased.

She felt the jolts that were originating from her spine every time the man hovering above her playfully teased her tongue.

He would coil his tongue around hers and press them against each other before dragging his tongue over hers in a slow manner.

The tongue has a large number of nerve endings which make it a principal erogenous area of the human body.

At this moment, Lina was experiencing exactly how stimulating this tiny wriggly thing inside her mouth was capable of making her lose her mind.

Those slow yet sensual actions of his were causing Lina's body to heat up at an alarming rate.

Her mind was beginning to get hazy once again and the main cause of this was the intensity with which their kiss was progressing.

'Why is he so good at this!?' She exclaimed as a soft moan escaped her throat when he sucked on her tongue.

Reuben's body froze for a quick second when he heard that soft mewl of pleasure that she had let out.

This simple subconscious reaction of hers was enough to ignite a blazing furnace of desire in his heart.

Wishing to hear her voice moaning for him once again, he quickly assaulted her with another round of soul-sucking smooches.

Not wanting to be the passive receiver in this kiss, she decided to take matters into her hands. In the literal sense of the phrase. 

Lina's arms which were behind his neck slowly slid to the side as she caressed his soft skin.

Her tongue slithered into his mouth and this time it was his turn to shudder.

The sensations that her delicate fingers were arousing in his heart coupled with the fact that she was hungrily sucking on his tongue now was enough to drive him crazy with lust.

Lina's hands moved from his neck down to his shoulders as she started feeling up his rock hard muscles.

Her hands then moved to gently grasp his neck and this was the last straw for Reuben.

He broke their steamy kiss and simply pressed his lips against her.

Lina's dazed mind was in no condition to contemplate on why he had suddenly retracted his tongue.

Their hot breaths mingled with each other as they slowly opened their eyes.

As they were gazing into each other's eyes, Reuben gradually snaked his arm around her waist and raised her body.

Bringing them both to a sitting position, he made the breathless and completely red-cheeked woman rest her head on his chest.

The kiss had exhausted Lina's mind and she laid in his arms as silent as can be.

Reuben glanced down at the entrancing face of the woman which only made his desire for her to deepen.

'There's still a lot of time for the next steps. No need to rush it. After all, we will be spending a lifetime with each other.' He smiled as he ran his fingers through her silky violet hair.

However, there was a certain member of him that was not a willing partner in his way of thinking.

Reuben's cheeks burned with awkward embarrassment as he peeked at the bulge that was straining his pants.

Not wanting the lady by his side to discover his secret, he subtly raised his right leg and threw it over the other.

'Dammit! Doesn't work!' He cursed when he noticed that his erection was still evident even after this meager attempt on his part.

Panicking on how to let this raging hard-on subside, he looked around him in hopes of finding something to conceal the bulge in his pants.

'That dolt just couldn't decorate his office better!?' He scowled when nothing of use could be found.

No pillow, no sheet, no magazine to cover him up. So much so that there wasn't even a single thing present on the table that he could have utilized to hide his shameful secret from Lina.

While he was panicking on what to do next, Lina was silent as she laid in a blissful daze on his warm chest.

Unknown to the worrisome thoughts in his head, all her thoughts were about rainbows and puppies dancing around her.

'That's it! I can use that trick!' Reuben exclaimed in excitement when he recalled the trick that Lina had taught him the night that Talia had drugged him.

'Bad thoughts… Creepy thoughts…. Think of anything that will calm this down!' He instructed his mind to quickly conjure something that would relax a certain tensed part of his body.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to think of things that were capable of making him feel physical pain without actually experiencing it.

'Dropping a dumbbell on my feet.' He thought of the things closest to his heart, his love for fitness.

He waited for a few seconds but nothing happened.

'Something worse… Um… that story Lina narrated was pretty bad.' He tried to remember the details of the incidents she had told him back then.

'That story about the braces scraping that man's dick was terrifying!' He shuddered thinking of the gashes that she had described to him.

The thought of those things ever happening to him sent shivers down his spine and he immediately noticed a change in the pressure that was straining against his crotch.

'It's working! More!' He rejoiced and tried to think of something much worse to completely extinguish the fire inside his body.

As he tried to recall grotesque and scary stuff, a certain conversation with Wayne popped up in his mind.

'The Zipper Incident!' He cringed when he recalled the events that occurred that fateful day.

Wayne had narrated the story of how a 'date' had terribly gone wrong when the woman's boyfriend came back home earlier than expected.

He had to rush to get dressed and in his hurry, the poor guy had haphazardly stuffed his still hard dick into his pants and without bothering to look down, he zipped it up.

Just thinking of the pain that Wayne had experienced and vividly described when the zipper scraped his skin, Reuben could feel a chill run down his spine.

He grimaced as he imagined that tragedy ever happening to him and glanced down to find the strain on his pants had completely vanished.

'I hope that never happens to me. However, that asshole deserved it for sleeping with someone else's woman.' He scoffed at his friend's lecherous ways.

Finally, being able to control the erection in his pants, Reuben sighed and then sneaked a peek at the woman laying on his chest.

"Kitten…" He called out to her after a few minutes and smiled when she lazily opened her eyes.

His smile widened when he saw the cheeks that were a deep pink and those lips which were now swollen thanks to his eager ministrations.

Her face had a beautiful glow which was the result of the happiness she felt at this moment.

"Hmm?" She tilted her head when he had not spoken a word after calling her name out.

Reuben shook his head and his throat let out a soft chuckle which made blush once again.

Her pouting lips made him want to taste them once again but thinking of the efforts he just made to calm his erection, he immediately threw that thought out of his mind.

It was already painful to force himself this way and doing it once again would surely be traumatizing for his virgin heart.

"Aren't you hungry, Kitten?" He questioned as his thumb pressed down on her swollen pink lips and dragged her lower lip just a little before letting go.

"Or are you satisfied with just my lips?" He smirked at her after seeing the sight of her parted lips.

Before Lina could retort with a witty comeback, her stomach was more than helpful as it growled in revolt.

Reuben burst into peals of laughter after the silent room echoed the sound of her stomach's angry grumbles.

"Looks like at least some part of you speaks the truth." He mocked her as revenge for the times when she had denied her feelings for him.

Lina raised her fist to punch him once again but paused when she felt a slight tinge of pain emanating through it.

"Silly Kitten, come. Let me take you out to eat." He declared without giving her any room for refusals.

Standing up on his feet, he extended his hand and offered it to the lovely woman.

Lina gazed at his hand and then scoffed as she swatted it away.

'You think that I'll take your hand after you laughed at me!' She raged in her heart and glared at his face.

"I can stand on my own." She huffed and supported her hands on the couch to push herself up.

Soon she was up on her feet and directed a mocking smile his way, following which she turned around and took a step away from him.

However, the very next second, her knees buckled and once again she was on a downward trajectory towards the floor.

Reuben was already aware of such an incident occurring again, which was the reason why he had kept a close watch at her feet and in an instant he was behind her.

His strong arms caught hold of her waist and saved her from falling.

'Stupid wobbly feet!' She grumbled as she was once again in his strong embrace.

This time, Lina did not reject his assistance and obediently walked by his side as they headed towards the door.

'I came here for my lunch anyway. Might as well have it with Ruby.' She shrugged and blushed when he pushed the door open for her like the perfect gentleman he was taught to be.

"Thank you." She accepted his chivalrous gesture and took a step outside the door.

'This delicate body really is a hassle at times.' She grimaced when her hand touched the door on her way out.

Rubbing her swollen wrist, she looked up only to find two similar-looking ferocious faces intently gazing at her.
