When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“By the way, my mom mentioned Nick is in K city. We should find some time and have a meal together. After all, we’re a family and I’m his sister. We should really have a meetup.”

“Sure. You can go ahead and make arrangements. We’ll travel down south after I get back from A City. It’s winter and it’ll be nice to go to the beach. You’ll love it.”

I nodded slightly at his proposal. His movements were gentle and light as he blew dry my hair. I snuggled in his embrace and started to doze off.

When he was finally done, he tucked me in and went to take a shower himself. I could sense him coming over to the bed and pulling me into his arms after he was done showering. I was so tired I just let him do whatever he wanted.

“Scarlett?” his breath tickled my ears as he mumbled my name. “Uh-huh,” I replied without opening my eyes.

His hands started fondling my body before he asked for permission. “Can we?”

I opened my eyes slightly when I understood what he was implying and met his compelling gaze. “It’s been a long time,” he added.

A hot flush spread across my cheeks, looking at him. “Well…”

I could not bring myself to say anything. It was not like I needed to say anything explicitly. Our actions were already enough to show what we both wanted.
