Chapter 254 - Someone Touch Soothes The Pain

While looking at her, he knotted the tie around his neck and pulled upward his throat. As his full attention was on her, he didn't realize that knot tightened around his throat.

" Ahhh…" he cried out in pain.

Katherine, who picked her dress to wear, heard his cry and ran towards him. " Ad...what happened! " she asked anxiously, standing behind him and then twirled towards her.

Then she noticed the tightened knot of the tie around his neck. She tried to lose the knot with her hands but she couldn't. 

" Our Sam is better than you. Can't you knot the tie properly! " she asked without looking at his face. Her full concentration was on his tie whereas his full attention was on his wife.

Suddenly she raised her toes and tried to lose the knot of his tie as one of her hands was not strong enough to lose the knot. His body was on fire when she was close to him, especially when she was only wrapped in a towel.

" Damn….what she is doing to me! Is she helping me out or seducing me! " he thought. 

He tried to step back from her as it was so difficult to handle the situation. She tilted her head and glared at him. " Don't move. Let me lose the knot…" she warned and moved closer to him again.

" Control...Adrian….Remember about your plan…" he chanted in his mind.

Just then he noticed the knot of her towel was loosened because of the raising of her toes. Being unaware of her state, she was loosening the knot of his tie. His condition became more miserable when her hot breath touched his throat.

" Fuck…" he groaned silently inside. 

Just in time, he noticed the towel around her body was supposed to fall. He quickly held the towel with his fist tightly. Instantly she lowered her head and found his hands. 

" Control Adrian...Control…. You should not let her know how aroused you are being close to her " He chanted in his mind.

Slowly she raised her head, looked at him with fluttering eyelids. His heart skipped with her alluring look at him. 

She realized their position and lowered her eyes. " That...I...was… in a hurry ...when I heard your whimper…I...totally ….forgot...that I was in only a towel…" she stuttered. 

The way she was stammering with his touch, made his heart feel so happy. His soul was dancing with their proximity. But he kept a straight face at her and said, " I think Sam would be better than you. He would have carried a towel properly over his body..."

Instantly the expression on her face changed to anger. She gripped the towel and pushed him away. " I was so worried about you and you are mocking me…" she said furiously. He found her ears turned red with anger.

" How cute even she is annoying! " he thought observing her facial expression but controlling himself then whispered in her ear leaning closer to her, " Mrs. Wilson… please wear the dress before it slipped down your body. This time I don't hold your towel… " 

Whereas She was looking into his eyes examining to know what was going on in his heart. 

He pulled closer to his chest by placing his hand around her waist and said, " Do take my words in another way…" Instantly she placed her palm on his chest, moved back, and looked at him quizzically as she was so confused about his behavior.

" I mean to say….we are getting late….." He said.

" You are making me...so annoyed…" yelling she pushed him away from her with a serious face. She walked into the changing area while taking her dress and closed the curtains.

After wearing her panty, she took brasserie to wear then she remembered every day Ruby helped her to clasped the hook of the bra due to an injury at the back of the shoulder. She peeped out her head through the curtain and called Adrian in a low voice.

Adrain, who was combing his hair, turned his head and found only her face. He wondered why she called him as she was angry at him a few minutes back.

" What! " he asked curiously why she called him suddenly.

" Can you call Ruby here? " she replied with the same angry tone. 

" What if I don't call her? " he retorted.

" Then we will be late…" she replied. He didn't understand what she meant. Then asked her, " Why? "

" If you don't call her, who will help me with the dressing! My back is still hurting, " she said. He felt so ashamed as he was reminded about her health condition. He quickly walked in her direction and opened the curtain.

Katherine didn't expect his sudden move and looked at him with surprise. " I will help you…" He informed and twirled her gently and clasped the hook of her bra.

After he is done with his work, he noticed a scar of the cut on the side of her back. He traced the scar with his thumb gently.

" Is it still paining a lot? " he inquired.

" it's not paining more than your weird behavior " she replied, suddenly turning him. 

" Do you need any other help in dressing? " he asked, hiding his emotion. She nodded her head as NO with a sad face. He could not see her hurtful face and turned away showing his back to her. By keeping her hands around his torso, she hugged him placing her face on his back. She didn't care even though she was only in her lingerie. "It's hurting me so much...Ad. Please tell me why are you avoiding me? Please talk with me normally..." she cried, fisting his suit. 

He cursed their fate in his mind for behaving rudely with the love of his life. He felt as if his heart was sinking in the ocean of her tears. Only he knew how much struggle he was experiencing between his heart and his mind. As she sobbed continuously, he placed his palms on both of her knuckles closing his eyes to soothe her pain. 

Sometimes only touch can soothe the pain more than words.
