Chapter 123 - MY LIPS HURT!
Chapter 123 – MY LIPS HURT!
Keep aside the fact that they were in the hospital.
Hailee and Ramon were alone in the room and the dim lights darkened the air which made the man in front of her look like a beautiful, unreal creature.
Especially with the fact that Ramon was sick, if Hailee wanted to mess around, of course Ramon wouldn't be able to fight, right?
Oops!
Looks like Hailee's mind has completely gotten off track!
Hailee never thought like this when she was with Theodore or should she say: she didn't even remember that they had romantic moments worth reminiscing?
But, after a few months being with Ramon, it always left a very beautiful and sweet after taste every instant they spend some alone time together, and … never failed to make Hailee's heart beat fast.
Ramon's fingers were still playing through Hailee's long hair and he tightened his embrace as Hailee used what remained of the strength and determination she could muster to get away from this man's touch.
Didn't you know that already? If this guy is dangerous …
And what Ramon did by holding her in, only made Hailee feel even more chaotic.
"Ramon, if you keep touching me like this, I will attack you, so it's best if let me go now, it's for our own common good." Hailee said seriously, even her expression said so, but this only made Ramon laugh.
"What do you mean you are going to attack me?" Ramon asked, very close to Hailee's ear, teasing her with his warm breath on her nape, making Hailee shudder. "Attacking me, as in sexually abusing me?"
"Ramon!" Hailee hit the man's waist for his vulgar words.
"Just do it," said Ramon. "I want to see how far you will go."
Ugh! It seemed like being alone with Ramon wasn't such a good idea. Lexus shouldn't have gone to home.
However, the thought of spending the night keeping Ramon company, in this room, along with Lexus alone left a bad taste in Hailee's mouth.
"You are sick, if I really decide to attack you, you will not be able to fight back," Hailee said with an arrogant face. She lifted her chin defiantly, as if she was being gentle- wo- manly toward this sick man.
It's just that, Ramon no longer replied with words, instead he moved very fast and positioned Hailee's body underneath him, holding Hailee's hands above her head and trapping her body.
Of course, Ramon didn't put all of his weight on Hailee, because that would put a lot of pressure on this girl's petite body, but even so, Hailee still felt that she was under pressure now.
Her breath was short and she let out a low screech as Ramon trapped her. Hailee didn't expect that Ramon would respond like this.
"Can't fight back?" Ramon leaned over and started kissing Hailee on the cheek, tracing the line of her jaw with his lips. "Hmm … I don't see any resistance here."
Hailee felt that the air was leaving her lungs rather rapidly, after hearing Ramon's sensual words.
She was not being submissive, though. Hailee of course tried to wriggle out of Ramon's grasp, but all her efforts were fruitless and in vain.
Or maybe it was her determination that was in a straight line with her desire to know how tonight would end.
Ramon laughed as he looked at Hailee who was blinking innocently. She looked very submissive, in contrast to the girl who challenged him a few minutes ago.
"So, you are going to attack me?" Ramon teased her.
"It's not fair," Hailee muttered, between her raging breaths as Ramon lightly kissed her neck. The sensation made the butterflies in her stomach flap their wings in panic and set off an alarm in her head to stop.
However, Hailee ignored all of that.
Her curiosity got better of her. She wanted to know what kind of scenario this would lead to and to what extent Ramon would tease her, because she knew this man would stop the second she asked him to stop.
Ramon wasn't the pushy type and his pride wouldn't allow him to force his will on Hailee.
It's just that, what Hailee was afraid of was; herself who didn't want this to end.
It was her first experience, being in a situation like this and it awakened something wild and foreign in Hailee, but she loved it.
"What's so unfair?" Ramon asked, his voice like a soft whisper in Hailee's ear, as he let go of his grip on her wrists and Hailee instead slipped her fingers through Ramon's coarse hair, as the man traced Hailee's neck and shoulder blades with his lips, letting out a heavy yet warm breath on the surface of her sensitive skin.
"You are not fair …" Hailee didn't know what was unfair, because she just said that casually, without thinking what she meant.
Hearing Hailee's weak accusing tone made Ramon chuckle and his voice sounded very sweet to her ears. Hailee liked it very much.
"You really don't know what you're talking about, Hailee …" Ramon sighed and then pulled himself away from the girl.
For a moment, Hailee was shocked and her face showed what she felt, when Ramon backed away from her and fell on the bed next to her.
Somehow, after what Ramon said and did in their brief intimate session, and now seeing Ramon distance himself from her, made Hailee feel a little insecure.
Doesn't Ramon want it?
Hailee was wondering to herself. Didn't she look attractive to Ramon to make him want her?
But, then Ramon grabbed Hailee and hugged her from behind, making her feel a little better.
"Turn around," said Ramon, he pulled Hailee's body to face him and saw her disappointed expression.
This girl …
She didn't hide her desire at all …
"What?" Hailee asked, pursing her lips. She did not look Ramon in the eye, but instead looked at her fingers pressed against the man's chest.
"Your face shows everything," Ramon said as he rubbed Hailee's cheek and drew a circle with his thumb.
"Show what?" Hailee still refused to look at Ramon.
"That you want it." Ramon said that bluntly and it made Hailee grimace, but then her expression again showed how stubborn she was.
"Do you not?" Hailee asked in return, biting her lip because this was her first time discussing a topic like this with a man.
"Of course," Ramon replied softly, stroking Hailee's long hair. "But, I don't think doing it in a hospital like this will be a memorable first time for you."
"How do you know if this is the first time for me? This could be the third, the fifth or even the tenth." Hailee then looked at the laughing Ramon and pinched his cheek.
"Have you done this with Theodore?" Ramon asked and this made Hailee wrinkle her nose. An expression that Ramon recognized as an expression of disgust for that man. "Because you are not the kind of girl who would do it with strangers."
"You didn't think about the possibility that I did it with Ian?" Hailee asked on a whim, but it brought trouble for her because after that Ramon let out a low growl and silenced Hailee with his lips.
The man even bit the girl's lips in annoyance, until Hailee had to push his head away.
Does Ramon think her lips are bread? That can he just bite?
"Don't ever mention that guy's name when it's just the two of us." Ramon warned her.
Apparently, Ramon knew that Ian's position was more important to Hailee than Theodore.
Because Ramon seemed okay with discussing Theodore, but suddenly became annoyed when Ian's name was mentioned.
"Understand?" Ramon looked at the frowning Hailee.
"My lips hurt," Hailee complained.
==============
Hailee woke up when she felt Ramon moving restlessly on the hospital bed, he was muttering something indistinct in his sleep and cold sweat started to flood his forehead and this made Hailee's body which was pressed to him feel the heat rising from Ramon's body.
"Ramon?" Hailee rubbed her face before rubbing her sleepy eyes, she looked at the clock that showed it was a little after midnight, while Ramon was still moving in his restless sleep.
Could it be a nightmare?
Hailee then turned around and saw Ramon's pale face while his lips moved to form a name, but Hailee was too panicked to bother about what Ramon was saying.
Especially when she felt his forehead was unusually hot as Ramon's breathing turned unnaturally uneven.
Immediately, Hailee pressed the emergency button on the side of the bed and got out of the bed, trying to wake Ramon up.
"Ramon, are you okay?" Hailee shook the man's body, trying to wake him up from whatever his current nightmares are, but it took extra effort from Hailee to bring him back to his senses.
After several minutes of trying, Ramon finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes, his face looked nervous and he seemed to be unaware that he was in the hospital room.
His eyes flickered in confusion as he stared at Hailee who was looking at him worriedly.
Not long after that, two nurses came into the room and started checking on Ramon, followed by Dr. Bram.
Seeing the three people approaching, Hailee then stepped back, giving them space to check on Ramon's condition.
Hailee glanced at the clock on the wall which showed three in the morning and glanced at the darkness of the night from the hospital room window.
What happened to Ramon actually? Did the accident have any other effect on him apart from the amnesia he had?
Hailee felt her heart beat uncomfortably, thinking of the worst that could happen to Ramon and she didn't like any one of the possibilities.
Ramon just had a normal fever, right? Nothing bad will happen to him… right?
And when Hailee turned her gaze back to Ramon, the man was staring at her.
Ramon's gaze was deep and filled with meaning …
What happened to him? Hailee was really worried about him.
==============
After last night's incident, Hailee couldn't sleep at all, while Ramon, who had been given a sedative, was sleeping soundly.
Hailee immediately called Lexus and sent a message to Lis regarding Ramon's condition.
Lexus who heard about it immediately came back to the hospital, while Lis had to wait until the first flight to get there.
Now, the two of them are back to sitting on the sofa where they sat on the previous night pensively, in a few hours the results of Ramon's examination would be out and Lis would also come.
"Would you like some coffee?" Lexus asked when sunlight shone into the room. "Your face looks terrible, I almost thought you were a zombie," he said jokingly, even though the humor didn't reach his eyes.
