Virginity in second marriages novel Chapter 105

Cristian's hand hung in the air as he stared at her who was frowning.

What on earth had happened to this woman again?

Serena meanwhile, without addressing a word to Cristian, had dived back into the blankets, using them to cover the stains on her neck.

Seeing that Serena was trying hard to hide those bruises, Cristian could not hold back an expression of dissent as his fingers remained suspended in the air.

"What are you doing?"

Serena, who was completely hidden in the comforter, had only her head coming out from the under and looked fearfully at Cristian.

"Last night you, you..." stammered Serena for a moment without being able to complete the sentence.

Cristian, with piercing and confident eyes, stared at her, "What?"

"Last night you didn't just..." Serena again had the temptation to bite her lower lip, but she remembered that he had just rebuked her for doing nothing but biting her lips to the point of hurting herself, so she restrained herself from doing so.

"I'm not what?" Cristian knew that last night she had lost control. Probably at that moment she did not even know who he was, which was why he had asked her his name at the best of times. And when she though it confused and guessed who he was, Cristian still had a strange feeling deep in his heart.

So now that Serena was asking him about last night, Cristian really did not know if she remember what had happened last night.

Serena stared at him for a moment and asked, "Last night when I told you to leave, did you?"

He gave a deep sigh, trying to keep as calm as possible.

"No, I stayed," Cristian replied with his gaze that was always steady.

Had he stayed? Serena's gaze wavered for a moment, "You stayed? But then you...."

But if he had not left, then.... Serena stood still for a few moments and then asked in a faint voice, "And how are you now? Are you okay?"

As the veins on his forehead began to throb slightly, Cristian tried to analyze Serena: her look was frightened, as if she worried about him. She did not even remember what had happened last night and even worried about him now.

"Don't you know if I am okay or not?"

Serena was speechless.

"You really don't remember what happened last night?" Cristian did not refrain from asking her.

Serena was silent for a few seconds, blinking her eyes as if trying to remember something, and then she began, "Last night...I remember you came in. Only that Enrico Romano had incense lit in the room, so all you had to do was come in and...."

"And what?" asked Cristian as he continued to stare at her.

Serena then dared not answer but blushed conspicuously.

"Well? Speak up," pressed Cristian, who had by no means given up on getting an answer.

Serena averted her gaze and said in a low voice, "Don't you know anything about incense? If you breathe enough of it, you can be very sick, as if you were drugged, however you are..." But wasn't him impotent, though?

Of course, Serena did not complete the sentence but, rather, changed the subject: "Enrico Romano must have heard the rumors about you, about you not being able to ... and so he tried to take revenge. But you...are you really all right?"
