Stand By Me Darling
Chapter 167: Serene Rest

Chapter 167: Serene Rest

Talia sitting above Arthur felt tired after hitting him with the pillow for a while. Her arms hurt and she started feeling her cramps again.

"Fred... Get lost," she said and lied on his chest making him smile.

That little girl he met when he was seven years old, whom he thought as stupid as she cried for the death of a bug, had grown up to be an elegant, gentle girl when he met her back in high school. When he got to know her, he found her very intriguing and he fell for her.

And she turned out to be a liar as she grew up to a woman. He should be hating this woman who seem to be manipulative.

But why is he falling for her more and more? It’s like he won’t fall out of love with her even if she turned out to be someone despicable.

However, she is not an actually manipulative it despicable person, is she? She is always that gentle and kindhearted person who really cares for him.

So what if she throws little tantrums? He didn’t mind.

As he was thinking, he gently caressed her hair running his fingers along her long hair. There were some knots in her hair that might have happened as she rolled around sometime before and he gently removed it.

"Why aren’t you leaving?" Talia who was enjoying his fingers running through her hair, asked. His fingers were so gentle as they ran through her hair, making her feel sleepy.

But he can’t be in her room for long.

"You want me to leave?" Arthur asked feeling her grip on his waist tightening. He could understand that she knows he must leave, but doesn’t want him to leave.

"Hmm..." she said and let go of his waist and rolled on the bed, resting on her back.

Arthur felt that little warmth on his chest leaving him and felt empty. He removed his suit jacket and threw it in the floor and rolled on top of her, propping himself on his elbows.

The tip of his nose was touching hers and maybe because he was too close, her eyes were closed. Their breathing intertwined and Arthur could feel the temperature rising.

Talia was so tired and she was on the verge of sleeping. Arthur’s warmth hovering over her, only made her more groggy. She felt a short, deep breath on her and opened her eyes to look at him.

He was too close and she couldn’t see him properly, but she could feel him heating up and the scent of his pheromones assailed her nose making her giddy.

’It’s torture!’ she thought. For both.

"Fred, I want to be with you sooner," she said and held his cheek with her hand. She smiled as she felt him running his cheek on her hand. "That’s ticklish!" she giggled. His stubble made a prickly sensation on her palms.

"I need to destroy the Council, Iris. It won’t take long," he whispered in her ears. "I want to eat you up."

Talia stiffened up and her eyes widened for a moment as he replied a non sequitur. He wants to destroy the council and eat me up now? Those two aren’t connected, is it?

But then she calmed down immediately. Knowing him, it would be weird if he didn’t say this at this time, considering the position they are in now.

Talia didn’t say anything and closed her eyes as she felt his warm breath falling on her sensitive earlobes. And he hovered above her for some more time, making his breath follow her downwards from her ear to her cheek and through her jawline to her neck.

Talia didn’t know why she felt so stimulated just by his breath. It probably because since she was closing her eyes, that heightened her senses.

Like a laser cutting through steel, Talia felt Arthur’s musky breath, cutting through her defences, making her heart go mushy. As his breath travelled to her neck, her fingers grabbed on to the sheets underneath her and unconsciously twisted it as her chest rose up.

She felt the tip of his nose graze over her chest and opened her eyes as he rested his forehead on her soft mounds. She felt her chest tightening up and knew his weight pressing on her diaphragm is not the only reason.

She watched the top of his head as it was in her view and gently ruffled his hair. No matter how many times she touches his hair, she won’t get bored as she found his hair to be so fluffy and pretty. Her hands paused as she felt him kissing her abdomen.

"Hmm, what?" she asked unable to bear the torture anymore. He seemed to be so calm and contemplating something.

She felt him taking in a deep breath, that made her shudder, "You smell so good," he whispered and let out a deep breath and she felt a scorching heat on her abdomen.

That is exactly what he felt. He wanted to eat her up, but he knew he cannot do that now. Still he didn’t want to leave her presence. Her presence itself was so soothing and her scent was so mild and refreshing, it made his nerves unwind and he already felt drowsy.

Mesmerising!

Before she could answer, he rubbed his face on her abdomen, with a mild force making her giggle.

"What are you doing?"

"I’m rubbing off makeup on you. Take back your makeup!" he spoke childishly.

"Get off!" she pushed him softly and he made an exaggerated fall added with over-animated facial expressions as if he was hurt badly and ended up at the other corner of the bed . Talia rolled her eyes.

Only he can make her feel physically strong and weak at the same time.

She walked to the bathroom where the vanity was and first wiped off her makeup and then looked at her clothes. There was a little foundation smudged on her abdomen and with a sigh, she undressed herself and walked to the closet to change into something comfortable.

"You changed? Why didn’t you let me watch?" Arthur felt wronged when he saw her in different clothes. She could have at least let him watch! What a cruel woman.

Talia didn’t mind him and gestured him to come closer.

"What is this?" Arthur was skeptical seeing the cotton round pad in her hand. He knew it must be something makeup related and he didn’t want to be her guinea pig.

"Makeup remover, be still," Talia explained and started wiping his face. "Your lips are getting dark, don’t smoke a lot anymore," she observed. "Your skin is a bit dry. What night-time skin care routine are you using?" she inquired and seeing him looking at her like a lost puppy, she smiled.

"Smoke less, eat healthy and use the products I buy you. Your skin will get better." she said and threw the cotton pad in the bin.

"Shut up, woman!" he shouted as he got irritated. He is a man. Why would he need a smooth skin?

He pulled her to his embrace and lied on the bed, spooning her.

Talia didn’t say anything back knowing he got angry. He doesn’t like to get advised. But... This short-tempered redhead will come around.

There was silence for a while as she could hear his even breath behind her. She felt his fingers tracing through her cheek after a while and smiled.

"Your skin is good..." he said and Talia just closed her eyes.

There... She just got the permission. She doesn’t have to wait for long for him to come around.

"I’ll see what sort of products might suit your skin," she said and there was no reply from him.

Silly guy! He likes to groom but doesn’t like to accept it. What’s wrong with a man using moisturiser and lotions?

Before she knew it, she fell asleep in his embrace forgetting she was supposed to send him away.

In a private mansion in the suburbs, one woman with a bright red lipstick emptied the seventh shot of alcohol and placed the glass on the table with a thud.

She looked around with her eyebrows furrowed. There were a bunch of women and men getting naked and were humping like dogs right in the middle of the patio. She averted her eyes and looked at the heated pool illuminated with colourful lights and there were men and women making out and wrangled together in amorous positions.

Heavy music blasted the entire place and a DJ was hired to liven up the place.

The table in the patio was surrounded by many as there were lines of powder snorted by them. There were scantily clad men and women who walked carrying trays that has colourful cocktails so to hydrate these rich young masters and ladies.

Olivia she felt home in these kind of parties where no one held each other to any moral standards and did what their heart wanted.

But why the hell does these men who will sit in the Council chairs in the future, celebrating like they have no tomorrow when that Talia Brunton tries to eliminate the Council? They actually will have no tomorrow!

She looked at Edward who was sipping some cocktail and winked at a barmaid who flashed her boobs to him.

Disgusting!

Alright then! I will make sure to take it upon myself to advise these young men. Surely they won’t want their carefree life funded by the taxpayers, get disturbed, right?
