Sabrina refused to obey his order, so he edged closer to her. He removed the blanket and wrapped his arms around her. Then he covered their body with the blanket.
Sabrina instantly feels the heat radiating from Rhett's body, enveloping her in a warm embrace. It feels so nice! She pressed her body to him. Not wanting to see the smirk on his face, she faced the wall.
Rhett embraced Sabrina's body, spooning her in the process, loving the heat emanating from her body, so gratifying. "Feel better?" he whispered.
"Yeah..." she replied shyly.
"Don't be shy. You will get use to my body later on. Because during midnight it will always be like this, the temperature will turn freezing cold. We're just keeping our body warm to survive the cold. No need to feel ashamed about this set up. You can sleep now," he said and buried his face on her neck.
Sabrina's body stiffened after she felt the warmth of his breath fanning the exposed skin on her neck.
"Just relax, don't fight it!" he whispered.
Sabrina noticed something. Her body in close contact with Rhett's body produced a strange sensation in her groin. Something awakened inside her, a spark that she can't describe well in words. Lying on the bed with him this way is wrong, but somehow it feels so right.
She starts wriggling like a worm beneath his embrace...
Rhett groaned. "Damn, woman! Go to sleep and stop wriggling your body! Your bum is rubbing my cobra in a pleasurable way, and it's making me crazy," he whispered in her ear.
"W-what cobra are you talking about?" Sabrina asked ignorantly.
Rhett groaned and sighed. "Don't move too much, just go to sleep," he said and continue embracing her from behind. He's loving her delicious warmth, loving her intoxicating smell that tortures him nicely.
A few minutes later, Sabrina had finally succumbed to a night of deep sleep.
Rhett sleep late because he was enjoying Sabrina's scent and her heavenly warmth.
Snuggling with her soft body under the freezing temperature is the best thing that ever happened in his life inside the cave.
...
The following day.
Sabrina woke up first and noticed the masculine arm embracing her. Rhett's face was above her head.
She shut her eyes. What happened with her and Rhett last night? It was surreal! She thought it was just a dream, but right now, seeing the two of them together in a deep embrace is making her head spin.
She didn't expect this, never in her wildest dream, that something like this could happen to her. She just spent the night in a guy's bed! And right now, his arms were wrapped securely around her. This is absolute madness!
She stared at the ceiling, careful not to wake him up because his arm was resting on her stomach and his legs were pinning her legs.
Ugh! She was in a very awkward situation.
She dared not move an inch and waited patiently for him to wake up so that he can remove his arms and legs from her body.
A few minutes later.
Rhett finally opened his eyes and smiled at Sabrina. "Good morning!" he said cheerfully and planted a kiss on her forehead.
Sabrina's eyes widened in shock. "What are you doing? Why are you kissing me!?" she shouted at him furiously.
Rhett smiled, amused with her reaction. "Get used to it. Besides, I did not kiss your lips yet. I only kiss your head. It's just a slight kiss," he said. He ignored the indignant look on her face. "You have to understand that what happened between us last night are the things that only lovers would do. In short, since we already embraced each other, and our bodies touched skin to skin, then we're already lovers, whether you like it or not," he said with a naughty grin, wanting to tease her.
"In your dreams!" She glared at him, trying hard not to kick him. It's no use arguing with him. She released a deep sigh and rose to her feet. "I'm going to the toilet!" she said.
"I'll take you there," he spoke and lead the way.
After they finished in the toilet which was located in the farthest part of the cave, they went to the stream.
Sabrina looked at him. She needs to change her clothes. Unfortunately, she doesn't have anything to wear! She wanted to cry in frustration.
Rhett saw the stress on her face. "What's wrong?"
"I want to change my clothes. I want to take a bath but I have no extra clothes!" she grumbled.
Rhett patted her head. "Don't fret! I have some clothes there in the chamber, you can wear them including my underwear," he offered cheekily and pinched her nose. "Let's return to the chamber first and get some clothes before you will take a bath in the stream," he said.
Feeling hopeless, Sabrina followed Rhett into the chamber.
He pulled two bags of clothing from the corner and handed them to Sabrina. "You can pick what you like wearing, I don't mind," he said.
Sabrina emptied the contents of the two bags made of sheep's skin into the bed. She perused the clothes. A few minutes later, she had already chosen the clothes she wants to wear. She had no choice but to wear his undies as well. She's dying of embarrassment under his gaze. Good thing there was an extra towel.
Her brows furrowed, she looked at him. "Why did you have so many clothes?" she asked in confusion.
"My mother bring those clothes here last two years ago," Rhett replied.
Sabrina's confusion deepens. "So... you're mother knows that you're here?"
"Yeah... even my father knows that I'm here," he said.
"B-but why? I mean... why aren't they doing anything to save you if they can come here freely?" Sabrina asked in bewilderment.
Rhett shrugged. "It's a long story. I have told you before, I will only tell you everything if you start trusting me and you will become my lover, if not, then what is the use of telling you everything about me?" he said, trying to gauge her reaction.
Sabrina breathed deeply. She doesn't know if he's teasing her or testing her patience. She's not in the mood to humor him right now. She rose to her feet. "I'm going to wash myself in the stream," she said.
"Okay, let's go!" Rhett said.
They left the chamber and went to the stream.
After they finished in the stream, they returned to the chamber.
Sabrina caressed her tummy. "I'm feeling hungry!" she said. She had only eaten small food since last night, some leftover food from Rhett's lunch which he intentionally left for her.
"That's going to be our problem right now. Why are you the one who bring my food yesterday? Where is Grandma Azere?" he asked.
Sabrina sighed. "She was suffering from leg pain, her legs hurt a lot. She can't walk a long way that's why she ordered me to bring the food to you," she replied.
"Ah, I see..." Rhett murmured.
Sabrina looked at him. "Do you know Grandma Azere?" she asked.
"Yeah, of course!" Rhett said.
Sabrina asked, "What is your relation to her?"
Rhett smiled. "Secret! I will only tell you everything if you will officially accept me as your lover," he said with a grin.
Sabrina breathed deeply and rolled her eyes. As expected of him. "I'll go to the entrance of the cave. Maybe Grandma Azere is already on the way to bring the food here," she said and walked away.
Rhett followed Sabrina.
They arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Sabrina lowered herself to the ground. She looked outside, wishing and praying that Grandma Azere will come to the cave today. She's getting hungry, and she also wants to apologize to Grandma after she disobeyed her rules, which is never to enter the cave no matter what happened.
A few minutes later.
Sabrina smiled brightly after seeing Grandma Azere approaching the cave, she's carrying the basket and her walking stick. She looked at Rhett. "Grandma is here!" she said happily.
