Her heart raced.
Feed him? How?
Noticing her embarrassment, Kyson clarified, âWhat are you thinking? Feed me by mouth?â
Dulcie remained silent.
Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she lowered her head.
Observing her reaction, Kyson couldnât help but find her blush endearing, perhaps because they were now married.
âYouâve never cared for someone whoâs sick before?â
âNo.
â
âIâll show you.
â Despite his injury, Kyson seemed surprisingly cheerful.
For once, he wasnât impatient at all.
âPlace the pills in my mouth, and then give me the water.
Take your time with the water.
â
Following his instructions, Dulcie carefully deposited all six pills into Kysonâs mouth and positioned the glass beside his lips.
As Kyson tilted his head to sip from the glass, his Adamâs apple bobbed enticingly, adding a certain allure to his appearance.
For no apparent reason, Dulcie found herself captivated by the sight of his Adamâs apple.
She swallowed nervously, feeling a sudden flutter of attraction.
Kyson noticed Dulcieâs stare and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He coughed a few times on purpose.
Startled by the noise, Dulcie snapped out of her daze, looking embarrassed as if she had been caught in a misdeed.
Her hand, clutching the glass beside Kysonâs lips, trembled uncontrollably.
âIâm sorry!â
Drops of water spilled from Kysonâs mouth, trailing down his sharply defined chin, over his Adamâs apple, and onto his clavicle.
The water droplets shimmered as his Adamâs apple bobbed, enhancing his allure and adding a touch of seductiveness.
âIâm so sorry⦠I didnât mean to stare.
Iâll clean it up right away.
â
Feeling guilty, Dulcie thought she was losing her senses.
She couldnât believe she had allowed her attraction to take over.
Despite Kysonâs injuries and the bruises marring his handsome face, she found herself captivated by the movement of his Adamâs apple as he drank.
Her ears flushed red with embarrassment.
Quickly, she grabbed a tissue and began dabbing at the water stains on Kyson.
Her fingertips brushed the soft, warm skin around his neck accidentally.
When she looked up and caught his piercing gaze, she felt overwhelmingly embarrassed and guilty, causing her to hastily withdraw her hand.
