Chapter 14 - CHAPTER 14 - Aftermath

 Hana's mind raced as she tried to process what had just happened. She and Thane had almost gone too far, and she couldn't believe she had let her guard down so easily. As she looked at Thane, she saw the desire still burning in his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. But she knew she had to be strong.

 "I can't do this, Thane," she said firmly, her voice shaking slightly. "I won't open my legs for you."Thane's face darkened, and he looked at her with a mixture of anger and disbelief. "What do you mean?" he growled. "We were just getting started." Hana shook her head, trying to clear the cobwebs. "I mean, I won't let things go any further. I need time to think."

 Thane's expression turned cold, and he nodded curtly. "Fine. Get dressed and leave, then." Hana quickly gathered her clothes wore it and left the room, feeling a mix of relief and confusion. She needed some fresh air to clear her head.

 She walked to the garden, surrounded by beautiful flowers that seemed to bloom in every colour of the rainbow. The scent of roses and lavender filled the air, calming her racing thoughts.As she strolled through the garden, Hana couldn't help but think about what had transpired between her and Thane. She had never felt such a strong connection with anyone before, but she was scared of getting hurt.

 Lost in thought, Hana sat down on a bench, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. She knew she needed to make a decision, but her heart and mind were at war.

What could she do ?....

 Thane slammed his fist on the bed, cursing loudly. "Damn it! Why did she have to say no?!"He paced back and forth in the room, his mind racing with frustration. He couldn't believe Hana had turned him down. He had been so sure she was into him. "Son of a...!" he muttered to himself, still fuming.

 Thane needed a distraction, so he decided to go to the toilet to ease himself. Maybe that would help calm him down. As he stood in front of the sink, he couldn't help but think about Hana. Why had she said no? Didn't she want him?

 Thane's member was still uncomfortable, a reminder of his unfulfilled desire. He sighed and turned on the faucet, letting the cold water calm his senses.

 He couldn't believe he had been rejected. Thane was used to getting what he wanted, especially when it came to women. But Hana was different. She had sparked something in him, and now he couldn't shake her off.

 Thane finished his business and washed his hands, still lost in thought. He knew he needed to talk to Hana again, to figure out what was going on between them. But for now, he just needed some space. Thane left the toilet and walked back to his room, his mind still reeling with confusion and desire.

 Thane lay down on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He couldn't shake off the feeling of frustration and confusion. Why had Hana turned him down? Didn't she feel the same spark that he did? As he lay there, he heard a knock on the door. "Come in," he said, his voice still gruff from the earlier encounter.

 Elera entered the room, a concerned look on her face. "Thane, are you okay? I heard raised voices earlier." Thane sighed and rubbed his temples. "I'm fine, Elera. Just a disagreement with Hana."Elera nodded and sat down beside him. "Do you want to talk about it?"

 Thane hesitated for a moment before spilling the whole story to Elera. She listened attentively, her expression growing more serious by the minute. "I see," she said when Thane finished. "Well, Thane, it seems to me that Hana is a strong-willed woman who knows her mind. Maybe you should respect her boundaries."

 Thane scowled, feeling a twinge of annoyance. "I do respect her boundaries, Elera. But it's hard when I feel this strong connection with her." Elera put a hand on his arm. "I know, Thane. But sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to wait and let things unfold naturally. Maybe Hana needs time to figure out her feelings."

 Thane nodded slowly, knowing Elera was right. He just had to be patient and let things happen on their own terms. But as he lay back down, he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was in for a long and difficult wait.
