All the passion oozed out of every cell in her body. Suddenly, she felt dirty and exposed. A pain gripped her heart so intensely that she could not breathe. She tried to move away to catch her breath, but she realized with a start that her body was completely immobile.
As if frozen into space, she stared at his passionate face for a long time before her eyes finally moved, and tears gradually fell from her eyes, trailed down her face, and dropped into her ears.
Her grasp on his waist gradually loosened in strength and fell limply on the bed.
There were a few seconds during the whole process when her heart surged with joy. In fact, the rational part of her brain that was still functioning thought for a moment that tonight was going to be the night they could bury the hatchet, and he would finally fall in love with her.
Now, she realized, it was all just part of her wishful thinking.
