~ Unexpectedly, I felt his tender lips kiss my head... I was dying with embracement here! Yeah, I know my face is likely blushing! It was very hard for me not to gasp out between my lips. As I held my body still from feeling his lips touching my flesh. My eyes gaped open to the extreme. I could only imagine how ridiculous my expressions looked. I did my best to play it cool but I felt myself melting into goop. How sheepish could I be?
But as I felt his soothing breath warming my forehead. He planted another soft kiss on my head for the second time.
And said so sweetly to me as his voice vibrated my senses. "It's over now, Sally. I'm sorry you had to face that. These things happen a lot in the Kingdoms but I promise, I'll protect you."
He slowly lifted his head from mine and gazed into my eyes. Like he is taking in every inch of my beauty when he lightly fades in a smile. The way he looks at me takes my breath away.
All while making me feel this conflict within myself as to why he was seemingly so charming and sexy.
But I strongly fought away from his enchanting charm. And block any way possible to allow him to get close to me. I mean I can't allow this to happen! Therefore, I need to stick with my goal and get out of this Kingdom!
I wanted to change this delusional mood that no man has ever once wooed over me. So I looked at him for a few seconds without realizing it, I blinded my pretty eyelashes while asking, "Is Maria ok?" Goodness Sally, get a grip here! Inwardly, I told myself wishing, I could just smack myself in the forehead! But he'd probably assume I'd gone insane if I actually did that in front of him.
Cory rubbed my cheekbone with his thumb and said. "Yes. She is with her family. I'll message John and see if she's up. I think it would be good for you both to have some time together."

Cory sat back up getting off the bed wearing only a pair of long back shorts. From his nightstand, he lifted his phone and texted a message to John. Once he sent the message he placed his phone back down on his nightstand. Then walked across his bedside entering inside his closet. He picks out some clothes that were all black like usual and carefully grabbed his fully loaded weapons belt. He hid the weapon belt between his neatly folded black trousers and his casual nice shirt. This way she wouldn't feel threatened to see it. As he sighed from feeling sorta pessimistic. From feeling her withdraw away. She just wouldn't allow herself to get close enough to him, he thought, in greater disappointment. Although, he understood what she experienced the other night's dim light was very tragic. She needs time, he told himself before leaving his closet.

Afterward, he enters the bathroom to take his shower and said not a word to me. While he was in there, I picked out an outfit. Choosing a pair of blue jeans that had pearls and bright blue gems sewed into the back pockets. Then I chose a sweetheart style light blue spaghetti-strapped top. The shirt had this lace on the top of the trim around the cleavage area. Then the shirt had matching pearls and blue gems. Were sewed into the bottom seam attached to this laced fabric. Then I gathered up my makeup, cordless hairdryer, straighten, and other accessories, I would need after my shower.

After about thirteen minutes, Cory came out of the bathroom smelling so rich in his musty cologne. Which I had to fight my nose from getting lost in his luscious scent. When he walks over to look at his phone from his nightstand. "Maria is awake so get your shower." He simply said to me. "Then I'll take you to her room."
Almost hopping off my bedside with my arms full of stuff. As I am holding my breath to avoid breathing in his seductive stench. I only gestured before entering the bathroom.
Behind the closed door, I took a shower this time and got myself out fairly fast to smell like pretty flowers. Then got dried, dressed, perfectly straighten my hair, and put some makeup on fairly fast. After merely twenty minutes, I opened the door finding him on the bed.
As he shut down his laptop giving me this very attractive smile. "You look beautiful," He complimented.
For whatever unknown reason it caused me to blush, as I bashfully tucked some hair away from behind my left ear. "Thank you." Was all I could mutter past my lips.
"Are you ready?" He asked as his smile deepen into something sexier.
"Yup, I'm ready." Gosh, I felt like such a shy child. I was so pathetic around him! The award-winning title for being the most sheepish girl on this planet would go right here to this lady!
If I wasn't birthed a tubebaby, I'm sure my birth parents would be so proud!
