Chapter 35: I Want Your Heart

As Crystal gradually awoke, she began to smell the mint fragrance that she associated with Nathan. Then, when she opened her eyes, they confirmed her suspicion. For a moment, she stared blankly at Nathan’s thin lips, and the longer she looked at him, the more attracted to him she felt.

Nathan put his left arm under Crystal’s knees and wrapped his right arm around her waist, and she put her arms around the back of his neck. Then she pressed her hot lips on Nathan’s. Crystal felt like she was drowning, and she turned to Nathan and looked at him in the way that one might look at a Life Buoy.

Nathan frowned, and he stifled his male physiological response as Crystal touched him and kissed him recklessly. He had never seen Crystal like this, and a voice cried out in his mind - Get out of here! Quick!

Nathan knew that he could not resist this temptation for long, so he picked Crystal up and carried her into the washroom. He placed her in the bathtub and turned the shower on, ensuring that it was as cold as possible. Crystal shrieked as the water hit her, and she tried to get out of the tub, but Nathan would not let her.

Nathan thought that Crystal looked like a delicate rose in the rain. Her lips were blue and trembling, and she had a tuft of hair stuck between them. She looked so adorable that the sight of her nearly took Nathan’s breath away.

He moved closer to take the hair out of her mouth, but before he could, Crystal wrapped her arms around him.

Crystal’s body was so cold that her embrace shocked Nathan’s system, so when she kissed him, he was unable to resist her. Her lips were sweet and soft, like ice cream, and after a minute, Nathan could not get enough of them.

Crystal held him with her left hand and tugged at his belt with her right hand. It wasn’t long before she had his buckle open, and she slid her hand into her pants and underpants. Nathan was surprised at her bold move, and as Crystal stroked his swollen member, his brain turned to mush. Thus, when she took his hand and pressed it against her pubic mound, he did what came naturally to him.

Nathan’s endurance had worn thin. The veins on his forehead sprang up, and beads of sweat trickled down his chin. They fell on her skin and mixed with her sweat. Crystal moaned and leaned back, pulling Nathan with her, and for the first time, he was struck by the full force of the freezing water coming from the showerhead, and his arousal died immediately. He grabbed Crystal’s hand, pulled it out of his pants, and pressed it against the wall. He looked her in the eyes and said, “Listen, this is wrong. I want you, but not like this. You’re drunk, and I want you when you’re sober after you’ve made a conscious decision to be with me. I want your body, but, more than that, I want your heart!”

Crystal’s mind was foggy from the alcohol. She couldn’t make sense of what Nathan was saying, but his rejection hurt her, and she began to cry. Nathan turned off the water, undressed her, and helped her dry off. Then he brought her to her room, dressed her in a nightgown, and tucked her in bed.

The next day, when Crystal woke up, she had a terrible migraine headache, and even though there was a curtain over her window, the light that passed through them stung her eyes. She forced herself to sit up. Every part of her body hurt, and she felt weak. She rubbed her eyes and tried to replay the events from the night before in her mind. She looked down and saw that she was wearing a light-colored nightdress. Beneath that, she was naked. She did a quick body scan, taking stock of her aches and pains, focusing on her nether regions. She had not been violated - Thank God for that! But why was acting so amorously?- she wondered - That is not like me at all....

Nathan had undressed her, and he had had the opportunity to violate her - so why didn’t he? It didn’t make any sense, but then Crystal recalled what Nathan had said to her: “I want you, but not like this... I want your body, but, more than that, I want your heart….”

There was a knock on the door, then, and Crystal looked up. “Who is it?” she asked.

“It’s me,” Serenity replied. “Can I come in?”

Crystal: “Come on in.”

Serenity pushed open the door, and when she saw that Crystal was still in bed, she asked, “How are you, Crystal? Are you feeling better?”

Crystal: “I’m fine. I can’t remember what happened to me yesterday, though. Can you help me fill in the gaps?”

Serenity: “Have you forgotten? Wow! Reg tapped you on the shoulder when you went to get your phone, and he slipped you some Ecstasy, Frank called me, and then I called Professor Davis. Fortunately, Professor Davis arrived in time and saved you. “

Crystal: “I remember being dr*gged, and I feel terrible.”

Serenity: “If Professor Davis had not come, we wouldn’t have known what to do. You don’t know how scary and thrilling the situation was.”

Crystal: “What situation?”

Serenity: “Professor Davis rushed over in his car, and he was breaking traffic laws left and right. Eventually, he attracted the attention of the police. He hadn’t pulled over when they put on their sirens, which led to a big car chase. You wouldn’t believe how many squad cars he had following him!”

Crystal listened in silence as Serenity provided her with the details. Her heart began to beat faster as she tried to figure out why Nathan would go to so much trouble to save her. Crystal frowned and asked, “What happened to Reg?”

Serenity swallowed and said, “Have you ever seen a helicopter hanging someone upside down and dangling them in the air? Well, Nathan did that to Reg. His legs were tied to the landing skids, and the helicopter headed out to sea. The rumor is that Reg was thrown into the sea to be fed to sharks.”

Crystal: “What about Frank?”

Serenity: “Professor Davis sent someone to Frank’s house to arrest him. When they broke into his rented house, they found a room full of pictures of you and sex dolls modeled after your appearance. And a collection of sex toys! Now you know who sent you the vibrator. It was from Frank! It turns out he is a real pervert!”

Crystal grimaced, and she felt sick to her stomach at the thought of Frank using her image as a sexual aid.
