Nickolas, feeling a sense of frustration, finally ran his hand over Naina's head, though he secretly yearned to caress her voluptuous curves instead. Not out of desire, but pure curiosity—were they soft, or were they firm?
But for tonight, he would just imagine.
"Let's sleep," Nickolas replied afterward, as he too lay down and Naina quickly cuddled up to him first.
Nickolas's life had been hollow; his routine circled between the hospital and his apartment. If it wasn't for Herli's insistence on taking him out, he would never have found himself at Paradise Club.
But now there was Naina, a woman who seemed to paint on his blank canvas.
"Goodnight, Honey." No need to wonder who would say such a thing—it was Naina, or rather, Laura.
"Hmm," Nickolas responded succinctly, closing his eyes and returning his woman's embrace.
Their first night concluded peacefully, no struggle, just deep gazes.
As dawn approached, Nickolas was the first to awaken, while Naina still slept soundly. Never in her life had she slept as comfortably as this—in a warm bed, her generous figure incessantly pampered.
Naina even snored softly, evidence of her exhaustion.
Nevertheless, Nickolas's gaze did not turn to Naina's face that morning; he remained fixated on her increasingly exposed curves. Naina's nightgown had shifted to the left, almost revealing her, and even a hint of the brown peak of her curves became visible.
*Imagine\, Nick\, they must feel amazing*\, thought Nickolas\, training his mind to stay on the savory side. However\, yet again\, the memory of Zendaya and Marko's passionate moments intruded upon him.
Zendaya moaned and screamed with pleasure under Marko's command, a surprising outburst from someone who seemed so innocent.
Frustrated, Nick then rose and rubbed his face. If Zendaya was the image of naïvete to him, Naina was the opposite—innocent-looking in front of others, but wild in his presence.
"Doctor, what's wrong?" Naina's husky voice startled him, Nickolas's movement had woken her.
Surprised to see Dr. Nickolas sitting with a troubled expression, Naina sat up, squinting as she tried to focus her blurry eyes on her husband.
"It's nothing, Nai, I'm going to take an early shower," Nickolas answered.
He attempted to leave, but Naina quickly caught his hand. "You said we would be open with each other, so why are you avoiding me?" Naina asked softly, still holding Dr. Nickolas's hand to keep him by her side.
"Perhaps you're right. Healing might come from opening my heart to a woman," Nickolas finally confessed.
His words instantly confirmed to Naina that Dr. Nickolas must have suffered a painful past with an ex-lover.
She remembered overhearing nurses at the hospital gossiping that Dr. Nick had once been jilted at the altar.
"I'll go shower now," said Nick, moving to leave despite Naina's grip on his hand.
"Don't you want to shower together?" Naina offered.
With that, Nickolas swiftly pulled his hand away and then scooped her up in his arms.
"Let's take a shower together," Nickolas challenged, and Naina could only gulp hard, taken aback.
