Louise stared at the bedroom door, disbelief pulsing through her as she pounded on it.
“Brian! Open up!”
Her voice jolted Melvin, who rushed to the living room and switched on the lights, only to find Louise standing naked by Brian’s door.
Louise turned. Closing his eyes, Melvin stammered, “Miss Adkins, I didn’t see anything.”
He hurried back to his room, leaving Louise seething with anger, her face fluctuating between pale and flushed. She hastily dressed and resumed knocking on Brian’s door.
Just moments ago, Brian seemed entranced. My plan was on the verge of success, but he remained conscious enough to push me away despite the drugs! What crossed his mind just before that push?’ Louise thought. Louise knew it had to be Grace.
The more she dwelled on it, the colder she felt, sinking to the floor against the wall.
In the bedroom, Brian phoned the doctor, then turned the shower to cold, desperate to stay awake.
Sensations crawled under his skin, his thoughts swirling.
Why did I think of her?’ Brian thought. ‘Maybe it’s because I’ve never seen any restricted materials and Grace is the only woman I’ve ever touched. Who else could pop up in my head?
But the more Brian pondered, the more intense the sensations grew.
Why can’t I shake Grace from my mind?’ Brian thought.
A call interrupted his thoughts. The doctor had arrived.
Opening the door, Brian ushered the doctor in, ignoring Louise outside, slamming the door shut.
Louise bit her lip, the rain matching the chill in her heart.
After the doctor gave Brian medicine and left, Brian took a nap. When he woke up, Brian felt parched and weak.
Memories of the previous night flooded back. Rubbing his temples, he rose to wash.
Opening the door, Brian found Louise sitting there.
“Why are you still here?” he frowned.
Louise slowly rose, bloodshot eyes betraying a sleepless night.
betraying a sleepless night.
Thinking of how she had drugged him, Brian’s pity vanished, replaced by cold resolve.
Brian said coldly, “I’ll send you back home this afternoon.”
Louise’s eyes widened. “You’re kicking me out?”
He met her gaze squarely. “Isn’t it clear? We’re set to marry. Is this how you act?”
Louise laughed. “Brian, are you so old-fashioned? If you really loved me, wouldn’t you touch me? You clearly want Grace!” Brian’s brow furrowed. “Louise, don’t be ridiculous!”. 1/2

“Am I wrong? You won’t touch me until marriage, but you and Grace got together while I was away! I know everything!”
