Undefiled Queen

“You’re a virgin?” He asked her in conformation, taken aback. “You just confessed you had a boyfriend.”

Merlyn pleaded with him with the desire overpowering her and started fidgeting with her fingers and his eyes worriedly scrolled from her face to her fingers. ‘What was troubling her now?’

“I never allowed him to touch me. That’s probably why he chose a different woman for himself.”

Stephen stiffened his lips in indignation. He did not like her to feel sorry for her actions. In a way, he did not know why, but he was happy to know Merlyn was a virgin. “That man is an idiot for having lost you. You are a jewel.” He tipped up her face to meet his eyes.

“Sex is only a physical necessity but ultimately the thing which matters is the character. If he really loved you, he would have waited till the marriage and for you to accept him wholeheartedly. Unfortunately he was not eligible to have you as his better half. But why did you start this with me?”

Merlyn had no answer for Stephen’s question. She was herself unable to figure out the reason. There was no man born in the world till date who could make her so weak and vulnerable. But with Stephen around she had no idea how her own body played havoc with her.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

His strong arms around her gave her a feeling of protection and warmth, his affection filled glances at her made her feel special and cared. Merlyn felt herself different around him. She felt like he was the man she wasn’t seeing today but had known for many years.

And then all of a sudden a sob broke out of her, she did not know why. Was it because of the rejection that she just faced from him or it was simply because of sharing her past experience with a stranger who she just met. She couldn’t share her downfall regarding her boyfriend with no person in the world till date including her aunt and uncle. Then how was this man having such a remarkable effect on her?

“Hey” he called not liking the tears in her eyes and then he did something tender she would have never expected from a man like him. He ran his hands tenderly in her hair and hugged her running his hand softly on her back.

Desire drizzled her body in the most provocative way even with his most virginal action. As if it was her test to celibacy, he did not move or get up but pulled her into his lap.

Leaning his back to the wall, he gently pulled her with him and rocked her. “Let the bed not brake.” Someone called from outside.

Merlyn couldn’t help but giggle and heard him sigh. Slowly her giggles grew to laughter and saw him roll his eyes. “Bloody cheap motel…”

“Hey, do not curse the hotel here. It gave you shelter when you most required and at least you made a fun little memory that you could share with your friends.”

Stephen twisted his lips. “Fun little memory? First of all I do not share about my sexual endeavors with my friends. Secondly it was not something I would want a repetition in my life. I go high on sex upon a girl only to realize, she is a virgin and I have to control my swelling libido.”

“Who told you control?” Merlyn asked surprised, not liking his statement.

He shook his head. “I wouldn’t want to be the man who takes away your virginity for a few minutes of sexual satisfaction. It is your wealth that you stored for years to share with the man of your dreams, your life partner.”

Merlyn might have called him a Grinch, a stick in the mud but he was respectful, a man with a heart which was honestly something she did not expect of him.

Stephen laid there pulling her to his chest. For all the talking she did, ironically she was pretty silent on the bed. She was the first woman in his life who could make him come to the faintest of her touches.

Though they did not consummate and for that matter not even start, he felt whole and complete with her. After all she was his Flower, the girl who took control of his mind and body since more than a decade, the girl who gave him sleepless nights yet left peace with him in a unique way. But could he dare to confess his feelings to her? First of all she might not even recognize him and she would definitely not nourish similar feelings for him because she was too young to have experienced the feelings any other way.

*****

When Stephen thought he was never going to have the love of his life, in an unexpected shocking endeavor mercilessly sketched by fate he gets to meet her. Now he can neither confess his feelings nor do away with her as just an affable traveler because hell of a truth to be confessed Merlyn was simply not a friendly co-passenger but much more than that to him.
