Elena ended up going into the guest room to sort her things out while still in shock at how she was so easy to give in to Mark.
She didn't know the reason she felt the way she felt earlier. "Maybe it was the alcohol. It had to be it," she blamed, forgetting about her hormones.
She had forgotten that she was young and healthy. And that it was normal to feel certain ways, and it was necessary that she should give in to her fleshy desires.
When Elena returned, she saw they had some time left, about half an hour before they would head out on the road, so she decided to take a nap.
"Do you want anything to eat or drink when you wake up?" Mark asked as he led her back into one of the spare bedrooms. He had not invited her to his bedroom which was the most comfortable. He didn't want her to misunderstand anything.
Although he loved to tease her, he didn't think it was okay to do it every single time. There had to be intervals.
