Chapter 126: He Is Sick

Chapter 126: He Is Sick

Nathan gasped as Crystal’s breasts pressed against his skin. He could feel her breath on his neck, and his c*ck was harder than it had ever been in his life. “Can I open my eyes now?” he begged.

Crystal giggled and said, “Hold on a second.” She leaned back again, and there was a wet sound as their skin parted. Suddenly, Crystal turned around and ran up the stairs.

“Hey!” Nathan shouted as he realized he’d been had. “What the fuck?!?!”

Once Crystal was in her room, she closed and locked the door behind her, and she couldn’t stop laughing.

By now, Nathan knew he’d lost. He didn’t even bother with throwing out the flowers. Instead, he went upstairs and threw himself into an ice-cold shower. He stayed in the tub for two hours, and that night, when he went to bed, he hardly slept a wink.

Crystal, on the other hand, slept like a baby. In the morning, she woke up in a great mood. She jumped out of bed, stretched, and checked her messages. There was one message, and it was from Judy. It said: “Honey, I’ll see you later tonight.”

Crystal frowned. At first, she didn’t know what Judy was talking about, but then she remembered the class reunion party that she’d been invited to. Judy was acting like she was going for sure, but she still hadn’t decided if she even wanted to go. She was offended by a post that had been posted to the event. According to the post, people were placing bets on whether she would show up or not. At the moment, 99% of those invited thought that she would not. She did not like being the target of this kind of attention, but she did think it would be fun to prove all of the haters wrong.

Crystal got up, and when she saw that Nathan’s door was still closed, she went down the kitchen to where Susie was busy cutting ginger. She crept up behind the housekeeper, and when she was half a foot away, she tapped her on the shoulder and shouted, “Boo!”

Susie jumped, turned around, and scolded Crystal. “You really are a little horror,” she said. “Why are you sneaking about like that? You shouldn’t be playing games at a time like this!”

“At a time like what?” Crystal asked.

“Mr. Davis has a cold,” Susie replied.

“That’s why I’m making him ginger tea. Didn’t you know that he was sick?”

“I didn’t,” Crystal admitted. “But are you sure that ginger tea is the best remedy for him? What if he has a wind-heat cold?”

Before Susie could reply, Nathan joined the conversation from the top of the stairs. Apparently, he had been listening to them the whole time. “I had a long cold shower last night,” he said. “I was in the tub for two hours, and that’s why I’m sick!” The ladies were silent as he came down into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. He was wearing a pale blue shirt, and his sleeves were slightly rolled up.

Susie: “Why did you take such a long cold shower?”

Nathan looked at Crystal and said, “You can ask her.”

“How should I know!” Crystal exclaimed as Susie turned to her expectantly.

Nathan walked over to Crystal, bowed his head, and blew hot air into her ear. Then he said, “Ten Times.”

Crystal’s brows furrowed. “What is that supposed to mean?” she asked. I wish he didn’t say that in front of Susie - she thought, but it was too late for him to take it back.

The innocent expression on Crystal’s face filled Nathan’s heart with hate. He thought - How dare she play dumb! He was angry now, but instead of letting it out, he held it in. Ignoring Crystal, he nodded to Susie, and then he went into the living room.

Susie was taken aback by what she’d seen. “C-C-Crystal,” she stammered. “Y-you and M-Mr. Davis...”

“What happened between us?” Crystal asked doubtfully.

Susie could see that there was something special about the way that Mr. Davis had looked at Crystal just now. She was a veteran, so she could tell that the look in Mr. Davis’s eyes, beneath the hate, was flirtatious and indulgent. “You and Mr. Davis are a perfect match,” she said. “But you are much younger than he is. You are still a child, while he is a grown man. There are some things you should refrain from doing. Ten Times is one of them.”

“But we didn’t do that!” Crystal exclaimed.

“If we had, it probably would have killed me!”

Susie chuckled. “You are so young,” she said. “You have so much to learn. Why don’t you start with this ginger?” She handed Crystal the ginger she was cutting for Nathan’s tea and placed the knife on the cutting board. Crystal bowed her head and cut the ginger. She thought that Susie had found the truth, but she couldn’t help but wonder - What on earth is Nathan thinking? She had teased him and left him with blue balls. Then he had needed a two-hour cold shower to cool down - But what does that have to do with Ten Times?

Crystal sliced the ginger and boiled it in brown sugar water. When it was done, she served Nathan in the dining room. “Drink it while it’s hot,” she said.

Nathan looked at Crystal, smirked, and said, “There’s a way to get better faster.”

Crystal guessed what Nathan was implying, but she didn’t want to give him any satisfaction, so she ignored the comment and put her hand on his forehead. “It’s a little hot,” she said. “The tea should be all you need.”

She removed her hand, but before she could step back, he grabbed her head, pulled her to him, and forcibly kissed her. She tried to resist, but he was too strong. She began to have a panic attack as his foul tongue ravaged her mouth, and she couldn’t breathe. Then, as her vision began to swim, she thought - He’s killing me!
