This only aroused her defiant spirit, though, and she fought to free her hands from his restraint. He turned his body away from her to avoid her hands this time.
She attacked him, and the two started to push and tussle playfully under the bed quilt.
They got sweaty in the end, but this did not seem to stop the woman as she lunged forward to try to touch his abdomen still.
The man suddenly flipped around and pinned her under him as he warned, "You can touch all you want, but you must bear the consequences!"
The woman stifled her laughter and retorted wryly, "What kinda consequences will there be? I won't break your ribs in any case."
"Hmph. If you say so." As he spoke, he took her petite hand down below him.
She finally had her wish granted, but in return, she found her heart racing again, where it beat hard against her rib cage.
At the same time, as he lay on top of her, she could feel his strong and rhythmic heartbeats.
