Chapter 81: For the sake of morality and his sanity.

Nicklaus held her protectively, placing his room card back into his pant pocket. It was to his advantage that she do not have much weight so, at this point, she was weightless in his arms.

"Umm," Arissa moaned uncomfortably into his ears. Nicklaus stopped with surprise that she was still awake, "I think... I... I think my stomach hurts," Arissa continue murmuring with a drunk spur.

Nicklaus stopped walking that instant and at that second, she did something he never imagined would happen!

He would have thrown her off his arms if it was someone else but come to think of it, no one has the opportunity to be held in his arms so, carrying was an off-limit and impossible. So, when he felt the warm liquid tickling down his shoulders, he stood awe-struck with confusion and restraint.

He restrained himself from jolting her awake to give her the punishment of her life. She had just puked on his shoulder and they held a strong alcohol scent.

His jaw clenched as he held her more securely to stop himself from doing what he felt like doing.

Taking a deep breath, Nicklaus walked to his bed with her, prepared for another act of hers. She had given him a lot of surprises in just one night so, one more would not hurt.

"You have a lot to answer for when you wake up," Nicklaus said as he gently dropped her on his big soft bed dressed with golden bedsheets.

Standing straight, he walked into the bathroom and took a bath first. The vomit ought to disgust him but it didn’t maybe because it was linked to her, he could not get mad but still, she would give some fucking explanation on why she poked at his suit.

A few minutes later, he walked out of his bathroom in gray pajama pants and a bowl of water in his hand. The vomit stained her more and she needs to get cleaned to sleep comfortably and on his part, he do not want his bed to get stained with her vomit.

Taking in a deep breath, he sat on his single round gray couch and watched her with keen interest, contemplating how he would clean her without provoking her in case she woke up.

With a low breath, his dark eyes left her body and went to her neck. This was a heavy task he was about to do because her neck was mostly soiled and drops of her vomit would surely have hidden themselves under the black t-shirt she was on.

Picking up the bowl of water from the floor, he stood up and moved over to the bed. Seating beside her, he watched her chest rise and fall, with an unreadable expression on his face.

"I_" Arissa murmured with more inchoate words. Her body language expressed pain while she murmured in her sleep but Nicklaus wasn’t able to grab a word from all her speech.

Nicklaus sighed when she stopped talking. His eyes went up to her face, and a few strands were obstructing his view and mindlessly, he took his fingers to her face and took her brown hair strands off her face.

He has to admit. She’s a strong lady for the fact that she’s able to be all edgy and haunt just to hide her pains and regrets.

Absentmindedly, he smiled and caressed her soft cheek with his thumb - she looked very fragile and soft while asleep.

His hand stopped when he saw a smile on her face and as if the smile was caused by what he was doing, she frowned, "It still hurt," she complained again and a tear slipped from the side of her left eye.

Nicklaus’s heart dropped to his stomach and he could not help but question himself on why he cared if she cries or not.

’You care because she’s your wife,’ a voice in his mind replied to him.

Nicklaus shut his eyes for a split second as if he was pondering about something and immediately at the moment, she let out soft snores that signaled Nicklaus she was now asleep.

Walking back into his closet, he took possession of a grey shirt that he would use in changing her current outfit when he was done.

Seating beside her on the bed, Nicklaus’s deep black eyes stared at Arissa intensely as she slept. A strange feeling grew in his heart and he could not help by moving his finger to her face again, repeating his action of caressing it.

Unconsciously, his eyes shifted to her partly open rosy lips and his thumb followed. Using his thumb to rub on her lower lip, he parted them, catching a glimpse of her jade white teeth.

Taking his thumb down, his finger traced her jawline and her cheek. She was a fucking fierce beauty and her hair - well, he preferred being with women whose hair was past their midriff but her hair length was okay with him.

Frowning at what he was doing and thinking, he took his hand off her face and his mask turned stiffly stern so he would be able to concentrate on cleaning her.

And with all seriousness, he cautiously took off her clothes buttons, one by one. He swallowed as his eyes went from between her cleavage down to her lithe waist.

It wasn’t his first time seeing her naked but fuck! She gets sexier in seconds. His breathing increased as he scanned her smooth attractive hot body.

He hasn’t fully taken off her t-shirt but he was able to see the edges of her ample breast. His eyes going down to her lithe waist, he was turned on even without seeing a glimpse of what was underneath that lacy pantie.

It was as if she was specially dressed up to tempt him tonight. For the sake of morality and his sanity, he took his eyes to her face.

She snored softly with her lips parted and those parted lips pulled him in. He wanted to kiss her - No. He needed to kiss her, to kiss her more than he would need his last breath. With those parted lips, he desired nothing more than to invade that mouth of hers and savor all of the alcohol taste in her mouth until she taste none.

Nicklaus gulped.

He never expected a kiss to be this addicting. Nicklaus had always thought his father was a fool for accepting a kiss from his mother when it was as plain as day that she would kill him but after kissing Arissa and having his overwhelming feeling, it killed him. It killed him that he wanted more like,

What the fuck is wrong with me? Nicklaus thought.

Pushing away all lust and desires concerning her, he parted her t-shirt, revealing her whole chest, and immediately, his hand froze and his expression darkened.
