He took off his clothes with his eyes still on her.
He reluctantly walked into the water when she wouldn't spare him a glance.
While he was inside the water, his eyes didn't move from the body of the lady who had refused to give him any attention.
As she stood there, her sensitive ears picked up every movement and sound that he made. Even his steady breath became a problem for the lady who was trying her best to control herself.
If Only Kayden knew the reason she behaved the way she did, he wouldn't have been so worried.
Instead, he would have been grinning from ear to ear to know how affected the mere whiff of his body fragrance made Joanna.
[What can I do to drive these unholy thoughts off my mind?]
Joanna bit her lower lips as she tried not to entertain the naughty thoughts occupying her innocent mind.
[Joanna Anderson, control yourself or else you are gonna do something you both will regret... Don't forget he said he is willing to wait until you are ready]
Joanna scolded herself. She bit her lower lips harder than she did earlier and clenched her fists.
She mustered up all the willpower in her just to resist the temptation to jump into the river and swim to meet him where he was.
A scene of her kissing Kayden intensely inside the water played in her head forcing her to close her eyes.
"Self-control, Anna," Joanna muttered under her breath.
[Joanna, think of something to do to get your mind off these crazy imaginations?]
Joanna quickly thought of what to use as a distraction to get her mind off her current predicament.
"So does that mean after tonight you will be busy and might not have time to spend with me?" Joanna asked out of the blue.
Her question left the already confused Kayden even more confused than he was.
"What do you mean?" He asked and stood up so that his upper body was no longer soaked in the cold water.
Joanna licked her lips when she heard the drops of water dripping from his sexy body fall back into the river.
She composed herself when she realised that she was thinking about the same thing she was trying to escape from.
"You said things got complicated so I want to know whether you will no longer have time for me," Joanna said with her fist still tightly clasped.
"I know people with your title always prioritize duties over fleeting feelings called love...,"
"Are you so eager to drive me away by upsetting me or are you testing me?" Kayden interrupted.
He took slow steps out of the water which had covered his lower body.
As he walked, the rippling of the water played at Joanna's ears. Even though he was still far away from her, she got nervous.
Her heart pounded hard against her chest and her trembling palms grew sweaty.
She kept on biting her lower lips and clasping her fist but that didn't calm her down at all.
As he made his way out of the water, he didn't utter a word. And the suspense alone was silently killing the lady who was trying not to turn and look at what he was doing.
He strolled to where she stood dripping wet. Despite being so wet he didn't have to worry about falling sick since he wasn't a human.
Getting to where she stood, he took his position behind her and bent so that his mouth was almost grazing her right ear.
"Tell me, what exactly did I do wrong to make you want to get rid of me so quickly?" His husky voice which carried so much intensity made Joanna's body vibrate.
"Did I upset you in any way?" He asked. His hot breath that caressed her sensitive skin made Joanna grab the right leg of her trouser.
"T-that....,"
"If you are upset about what I said in front of your home earlier...,"
"I am not so narrow-minded that I would get angry over that?" Joanna, who was hell-bent on avoiding looking in his direction, turned and faced him in a haste.
When she realised what she did, she tried to turn her back on him but it was too late. He grabbed her shoulders without giving her the chance to escape.
"Then why do you avoid looking at me if that is the case!" He demanded in a gentle tone.
"T-that...," Joanna stammered.
She found it hard to tell him that the reason she had been acting strangely ever since they got to the forest was that she had been imagining doing unholy things with him.
And because of it, she is almost on the brink of losing her senses.
"If you are angry I didn't show up at your little man's school earlier, I will...,"
"I am not," Joanna blurted with her gaze focused on the grass underneath her feet.
At that moment she wished she could escape so she wouldn't have to keep on torturing herself this way.
"Look into my eyes and say it because that is the only way I will believe you," He said provocatively.
Joanna hated to see him upset but at the moment she was in a bid.
She has been trying so hard to keep her inner demons in control and she was scared they would break loose if she stared at the face of the man responsible for stirring up her entire being.
"I will...,"
"I said I am not upset with you," Joanna was forced to lift her head because of his sad tone.
The instant she got a glimpse of his dripping wet hair, Joanna was immediately hypnotized by the sexiness of the man standing in front of her.
Her eyes moved from the water dripping from his strands of hair to his natural pink lips. She swallowed a lump as she followed the movement of his sexy lips.
"Joan, are you alright?" the clueless Kayden asked when he noticed that she was behaving strangely.
