Valene's eyes looked at Myna's big round eyes looked at him. Valene wanted to cup her face and kiss her eyes. Her eyes were the most expressive part to him. She looked beautiful. Slowly, his gaze moved to her nose, she has a button nose which made him want to pinch her nose with his thumbs and pointing finger. Can he kiss her nose too?
"What are you looking at? I am talking to you so seriously. And your thinking something else?" Myna started rambling not noticing his heated gaze and his unknown thoughts.
Valene's thoughts went to their earlier kiss, when Regan called to say that he was bringing Eleanor, she jumped in joy. But in her clumsiness, she fell on Valene who was sitting beside her and her lips landed at the corner of his lips. Before she could react, he was swift and brushed his lips against her for a brief second before removing them.
He wondered how she would taste with his tongue inside her throat.
Myna couldn't balance her weight on her tiptoes for long and slipped her footing and straightly she landed on Valene's chest. Valene held her waist in response. His heart started thudding against his chest. He could feel the heat starting flowing through his veins. Her soft body against his body was making it hard for him.
As if his hands and legs has their mind they started acting on their own. He lifted her and wrapped her legs around his waist. Before she could utter a sound, he slammed his lips against hers and started walking towards her room.
Myna was too shocked at his actions. Before she could respond to him, he already slammed the door shut. She tried to push him away but he was swift, he pinned her down on the bed as he pinned her hands above her head and continued to kiss her passionately.
Myna was shocked at the start but when she realized she tried to push him away. But he was too persistent. Also, he was a good kisser. He sucked her lower lip before biting it with his sharp canines.
"Shhh…" she gasped in pain. Taking that as a cue he entered his tongue in her mouth. His tongue started exploring her sweet mouth.
Myna was melting under his kiss. She wanted to clutch his hair and run fingers in his silky smooth her. She wanted to feel many things more than a kiss. Can he do that? Unknowingly a moan left her mouth.
Taking that as a cue, he started kissing her wildly. He freed her hands and started feeling her curves in his hands. This woman was a handful. It's like she was just fit for him and made for him.
His hands weren't satisfied with just sensing her curves, they started removing her shirt and made their way inside her shirt.
Despite how melting his kiss was, Myna's brain started ringing alarm bells when he started removing her clothes. She pushed him away and broke the kiss. Her lipstick was smudged and her lips turned red and swollen because of the earlier kiss. And her breathing was irregular. God, she couldn't believe that she kissed Valene.
Valene felt frustrated at the sudden intrusion. But still, it was good that she stopped at the right time.
"I am sorry," he said.
For kissing her? Does he feel sorry for kissing her? Myna felt sad at his apology. Does he think she wasn't a good kisser or doesn't deserve to be kissed? Her eyes showed her disappointment immediately. But she masked it soon.
Valene was surprised to see her emotions. He was pretty confident that he would make her his very soon.
"I am sorry for not taking your consent. But that's an amazing kiss," he added. Myna looked at him with her wide eyes in shock.
"Myna, I love you. Would you like to marry me? Hmm? I never felt anything like this to anyone. And with you around me… I wanted to spend my life together with you till I turn old. Whenever I see you I wanted to hug you, kiss you, feel you and feel all kinds of dirty things. If possible… I wanted to tie to the bed and sleep with you all the time.
"Whenever I see Edward or that man in Emerson hospital wandering around you… I feel very nervous and scared that I may lose you. You are just outstanding. I am afraid I may not suitable for you. And I know I have many shortcomings but with you besides I will rectify everything and would make myself suitable and equal to you.
"Would you marry me?" he asked as he looked into her eyes. His chocolaty eyes looked into her brown eyes as if they were trying to look into her soul.
Myna realized many things after Valene came into her life. She realized she liked Martin's care for her as a brother. But she interpreted her feelings as something else. She and Valene have a spark between them but she and Martin never had a spark.
And till he met, she never thought or wanted to kiss Martin. It felt like a sin to her. But with Valene, she just not only wanted a kiss but also wanted to do many more things. She wanted to feel his naked body against her naked skin. Even earlier… when they were kissing, she was so lost and even wanted more but she broke the kiss because they don't have a proper relationship.
And this man who was hovering above her was sinfully handsome. He has a big forehead, his upturned eyes, his tanned skin, his thin lips, tall nose, and his attractive features made her want him. His eyes… his chocolaty eyes… they say a different story to her. They show his genuineness and his care, concern, and many things. She badly wanted to say yes. And a life with him till the end wasn't bad. She was looking forward to it.
But suddenly she remembered the tale of Eleanor. She heard how romantic Cedric was when he proposed to her. Here… see he was being all impatient. At least there was not even a ring when he was proposing to her. If by mistake, she says yes to him. She wouldn't be surprised if he pounced on her and have his way with her. She thinned her lips at the thought.
[But you wouldn't hate that.] her innerself mocked.
It was true though. But even she wanted to have a ring and want to be claimed as his.
Claimed as his?
Yes, she started loving Valene. With his presence in her life, she realized what love was. And she became clear with her feelings towards Martin. She doesn't know when and how… but she was in love with Valene.
Myna looked at him with her clear eyes and clear mind. "There is not even a ring. Go away," she said as she tried to push him away.
Valene saw her changing expressions and finally, they settled at a disappointed expression. He panicked. Many things started going in his mind. He wondered if she still likes Martin.
But he was surprised hearing her words. A smile formed on his thin lips. His eyes filled with happiness and they turned into moon crescents as he stared at her. He raised his hand and took out a ring that was adorned with a clear white pearl.
"This ring… My mom gave it to me three years ago. She asked me to give it to the woman I love and would marry her in the future. But I was sure that I wouldn't like anyone and wore it myself. Now… I have a chance. Will you marry me, beautiful lady?" he asked with a smile as he bent on his knee in front of her.
Myna was shocked. He not only gave a ring but something that meant to be his partner. And that partner was her. A bright smile formed on her face. "Yes!" she said and nodded her head at him enthusiastically.
Valene slid the ring onto her finger and hugged her. "Myna…" he called out.
"Hmm?" she responded.
"I want to kiss you," he said. Myna looked at him with shocked eyes. Didn't they kiss just now? She blinked her eyes cutely at him with her open mouth. Before she could respond to him, he started kissing her.
All her protests were drowned in his kiss. He only let her off, when she was out of breath.
"We shall meet your parents and get married," he said as he pecked her lips.
"This fast?" she asked surprised still panting.
"If possible, I want to get married right this second," he said pecking her lips again.
"Why?" she asked.
"I want to make babies with you," he said. She blushed. Her face which was already red turned redder. And she cannot turn anymore redder.
"I am not ready for children yet," she said.
"It's fine too. We can do the process and can plan for children later," he said.
"You are shameless," she said as she punched his chest with her small fist. Valene let out a chuckle and said, "only for you," that he took her lips again.
After the kiss, Myna messaged her father telling him about her relationship. While Valene called his mother to relay the news of his successful relationship. Aria would have come running to see her daughter-in-law if not for the late night. But she could only calm her nerves till tomorrow.
—----------
That was a peaceful night for Valene and Myna. But for Eleanor… she has a strange feeling that something was going to happen. With complicated thoughts, she fell asleep.
But fate was always the kind of thing that messes up the lives when they were calm. And no one knows that the real villain of their lives was going to enter now.
