But did they eaca141706 ever consider how d54f339b95 I felt, having 89a64c4ca7 to kiss under dbcbb4e585 that flower-adorned, fake c758318af4 lamp post every 764da276c4 night?4b40e295589e8e4e

What the… that startled me.ff6672455abe7cf5

My body trembled, half-suspended ffc17620c4 in the air as 3d75115737 Rio held me. Misinterpreting my reaction as 1a13a9e93e fear, he tried to 9f244c5ac2 soothe me by pressing 2ff3c9f8b5 his lips softly against bf7fa743fd the bite marks.5d0f374c96601d6c

Just as I a8a7a1b5b8 began to calm fe2c56d2f8 down, Rio, still 46d8cd0c7c unable to contain e85a1f44fb his excitement, grabbed db65db6466 at my pajama 0462d91661 top. With barely 9448da75f1 any force, a7b8c7403d one of 912054e30f the buttons d24b1bb95a popped off, 3d7cd0e936 flying across 396b5099ec the room.0df6894ab9e8b441

The sound 1d314daf72 of the 818582e5cd button hitting c6fc474daf the floor cb48434866 and rolling 9c0819e350 echoed in ae74939f33 the sudden 5e2c5e7aa2 silence.ab3d91e9f6abb3b4

“Rio?”819ad82b3b35c54b

Rio, who had 6126f02a74 been glued to ecae0773ad me the whole 08d614da2f time, abruptly pulled 1d5d51d930 away. After awkwardly attempting fff5d2381b to rebutton the c91e1856b3 torn pajamas, he b409c7f405 stood up.a7e97a611e9f7219

It was f4327c0375 a surprising bbeb59c587 reaction, but 3a168780ff not incomprehensible. Even though he’d learned 61fbd33dd9 a lot from dramas 94a899c1a7 about relationships, they never 253de86091 explained the physical responses 328b23c1db of excitement or how 30858e0671 to deal with them.80b294c24adcbfbb

This was probably his defdb79bfa first time experiencing such 989f91f492 a situation, leaving him 5826cc14b0 flustered—or maybe embarrassed because e7b6af354e he didn’t know what 4d6214b536 to do next.60087e8cf70e5173

I stood up, 16b8aa2cf1 intending to stop 8c4a8e0f95 Rio as he b79168b7fd made his way 7ae080c33e to the door 70320305e3 and reassure him 9ef856eece that everything was 68b98aa409 fine. But then ae7f04d1df I saw 55a206db09 his face.aba6488fa9df8d49

His expression wasn’t one 8bc646ce3c of embarrassment. It was 43ba9075c8 closer to 7685bfff0d horror.f68b6a57df65f520

Rushing to 19df0aa77c the window, c394155c6e I spotted 93ca806979 a small, 8454d119da round figure 1cc8a16184 darting through 9400350068 the darkness. It was Rio, transformed 5864038e7a back into his rodent 9fcb93259c form.056755533615f29c

Was he fb20567c91 startled because 02317875bc I said 7ca76150eb it hurt?324744449988cafe

No. If that 197bdaa259 were the 949fecb56a case, he a855887a32 would’ve stopped 1acd588499 immediately, apologized, 8da757cb58 and maybe 7d7cc6eaff even sulked. But his reaction didn’t 5937289558 come when I said 2bf0ed3fa9 I was hurt. It happened when e05ec453aa my pajamas tore, f02b223aef and my chest b9bc819ffa was exposed.2dfb72eddc1cf43e

I let 4393de4f49 out a 490f71c4f1 hollow laugh, 2de3155c27 unable to 4eb676d2ff believe what 2a8ba3c546 had just 514af604db transpired.41521e71df6260e8

After all 15e529e133 the times 1caedfd467 he’d proclaimed 8a14416fe3 how much befc10250e he adored d431ca387b me, how 70a81eaad7 deeply he cc3ee437b9 loved me, 4a30705058 he’d run dfd24fbed0 off at 85bece8599 the sight d4cedbe7f4 of a bcbf50c92d bare chest? Kissing was fine, 14ea74d728 but anything more 3bc7b548d5 was a no-go? What was I now—just 538956fa5c a caretaker?
