Kiss Me Not-Chapter 278 - Pest Control
Kimmy gulped hard, hearing those words from Cain. She parted her lips to answer, but nothing came out of her mouth.
"Whenever you part your lips like that… I can't help but think that it's a signal that you're giving for me just to kiss you," Cain hoarsely whispered, and he was about to kiss her again when they heard a sudden knock on the door.
Kimmy pushed Cain so hard that the latter almost fell on the floor. She quickly picked up her clothes, promptly ran to Cain's private room, and locked the door.
Cain silently cursed the intruder while he put his clothes back on in swift motion. He opened the door of his office and saw Kevin outside.
Kevin gulped, seeing the dark expression on the face of the royal head doctor. He assumed he came at the wrong timing, so he coughed and cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Doc, but you were not answering our calls. The King wants you to look after His Highness, Lucas." Kevin informed him.
Cain heaved a long deep sigh and said, "Alright, I'll be on my way. I will just get my things." he said before he walked towards his private room to tell Kimmy he was going out for a while, but the door was locked.
"Kimberly, I will just go to uncle Lucas. He needs me. I will be back as soon as I can, so stay here and wait for me. Sort out the files on my desk while waiting and also please clean my office and room. I will see you soon," Cain said on the door before he grabbed his bag and left the office. He did not want Kimmy to go back and entertain Harry while he was away. He was hoping Kimmy would not be stubborn and wait for him but knowing Kimmy… Cain could only hope.
Kimmy heard Cain loud and clear since she was just at the back of the door. Her heart was still beating so hard. She was so nervous. She felt like her heart jumped out of her chest, hearing that knock. Good thing that no one would just barge into Cain's office without knowing. Her eyes widened, realizing it could be her mother who would surely just barge inside Cain's office without knocking.
Just the thought of her mother catching her with Cain liked that was so alarming. Kimmy's face reddened with embarrassment.
She sighed. It was a sigh of relief that no one caught them in that embarrassing situation. She looked around Cain's private room. It was her first time inside Cain's private room in the palace, and the room was so neatly and manly arranged with only a shade of black, gray, and white with the walls and interior decors, including his beddings.
The room was so spacious, and it also had a balcony where you could view the palace garden. There was also another door that would probably direct her to the hallway. Kimmy heaved a sigh. She could now feel the aching of her body, especially her most private part in between her thighs.
She headed to another door that she assumed was Cain's bathroom. She took a quick bath and could not help but notice the marks all over her body.
"Sh*t!" she loudly uttered because Cain marked her neck and collarbones. It was almost full of hickeys! She wondered if he did it intentionally and she needed to hide it by any means possible. She immediately got dressed and checked Cain's vanity table to find something that would help her hide it like a concealer.
She cursed, finding nothing at all but men's perfume and cologne. She honestly liked Cain's smell. She shook her head, realizing what she was thinking at that moment.
She helplessly sat on the side of his bed. She brought nothing when Cain suddenly pulled her away to his office. She did not even have her mobile phone. Another frustrating sigh came out of her mouth as she wondered how Harry and her mother were doing. She was sure her mother was asking Harry so many questions while she was away.
She saw the telephone in Cain's room, so she dialed the number to her uncle Lucas' wing to ask an available servant to get her bag inside her mother's bedroom and bring it to her in Cain's office. After the call, she helplessly lay her back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Take responsibility?" Kimmy whispered, wondering what would happen now. Was she ready for a relationship when she could not decide what she really wanted? She was too confused at that moment, and she wanted to clear her feelings to Harry as well… to find out what she was feeling for him now. Harry was not just some random guy. He was her first love, and she had a deep connection with him.
But she already gave herself just now to Cain. She was not some random woman who would easily surrender her virginity too. She was feeling something for Cain as well, just that she couldn't name it properly since she was not sure how to call it. At first, she analyzed it as pure lust… Was she that easy to give her body just like that because of pure lust?
What happened to her with Cain just a while ago was too sudden, but she was in her sanity and allowed it to happen. Cain demanded that she take responsibility because he was willing to do it.
'Does he mean marriage?' Kimmy mused, suddenly feeling alarmed. She did not want to get married. She was too scared for the responsibility. What if it turned out to be a disaster like her mother and father?
Kimmy jolted up from the bed and went outside the private bedroom to wait in Cain's office instead for the servant to arrive.
Her eyes widened when it darted to the couch where she and Cain made love. There was a stain on the sofa! It was hers, her bloodstain.
"OMG! How can I remove it?" she whispered in panic. She looked around for a wet tissue and rubbed it, but the color just scattered instead because of the kind of fabric on his couch.
"How come his couch is not covered with leather!" Kimmy complained. She cursed because she should not call a servant for help or else rumors would spread! She grabbed a pillow on another couch and covered the stain with it.
Kimmy heard a knock, and she knew it was the servant, so she instantly opened the door with just a tiny opening and just showed her head.
"Princess, here's your bag."
"Thanks," Kimmy said and closed the door. She immediately put the concealers on her hickeys, but it was not good enough to cover the marks. Moreover, she could not change her clothes, or else her mother would get suspicious.
She looked at Cain's table and saw the file he was referring to. She finished it all in just five minutes. Cain told her to clean his office, but there was nothing to clean since it was clean already.
"What is wrong with him? Asking me to do things like that when we already swap roles. I'm the master now, and he is the servant!" Kimmy mumbled with a pout as she walked out of Cain's office to head back to the living room where Harry and her mother were talking.
"Oh, you're back!" her mother said as soon as she entered the living room.
"Where is Cain?" Leila asked with a furrowed forehead.
"Uncle called for him, mom," Kimmy answered.
Then she looked at Harry and said, "Don't you have any appointments for today? How about I walk you out now, Harry? I heard from one of the royal guards that the exit door is already open."
Kimmy was sure that Harry was already uncomfortable since he was the type who wanted his privacy intact and knowing her mother, she was sure Harry would feel uncomfortable.
"Oh, alright then. It's nice meeting you, Harry. And like I said, our house is open for you if you would like to visit anytime. I'm delighted to be able to treat my daughter's friend to a meal in our house…" Leila commented as she stood up.
Harry thanked her and then smiled at Kimmy, who signaled him to follow her.
"Let me also walk Harry out," Leila said as she walked together with the two.
"What happened to your neck? Is that a bite?" Leila asked, making Kimmy gulp. Her mother's eyes were surely sharp!
"Oh, I'm not sure, just a rash, I think…" Kimmy whispered. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮
"A rash? It was not there a while ago. It's not like you have an allergy or something…" Leila commented and touched Kimmy's neck to feel it, but Kimmy flinched and moved her mother's hand away from her. Leila's expression changed that she could not help but whisper in Kimmy's ear and teased, "I guess a big insect bit you inside Cain's office!"
"Mom!!!" Kimmy burst in disbelief.
Leila just shrugged her shoulders as she added, "I will request for pest control in the palace later."
Kimmy did not know whether to laugh or cry at her mother.
