Just as Sawyer was sinking in his own thought, all in a sudden a pair of hands wrapped around his waist from the back.
"Sawyer." Sissi began speaking softly, "It's early in the morning. Who was on the phone with you?"
Sawyer did not shove her hands away. Instead, he let her continue to hug him from behind. He replied softly, "It was a business matter that put me on the phone. By the way, how are you feeling? Did you sleep well?
What do you feel like eating?"
Sissi knew for a fact that Sawyer would prepare meals for her himself when he was at home. Having thought of this, Sissi could not help beaming. She said flatteringly, "I feel like eating you."
Sawyer's breathing began to turn heavy. He turned around and pulled her hands away. In the next second, she found herself on the countertop with his weight pressing against her.
As soon as he turned around, it was only then Sawyer realized that Sissi was wearing his shirt. Despite the fact that it was long enough to cover her hips, it was still too tempting for him to shift away his eyes from her.
At the sight of his intensifying gaze, Sissi smiled in satisfaction. She asked, "Do you like me in your shirt?"
As Sawyer stared at her beautiful face, he could not help but notice that she had put on make-up on her face. It was strange for her to wear a wake-up right after she woke up. As far as he could recall, she did not have such a habit in the past.
Sissi was triumphed to see that Sawyer had lost his words upon staring at her. She threw her arms around his neck so as to bring herself even closer to him. She asked the obvious, "Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like it?"
Sawyer gazed at her deeply and struggled to suppress his urge to lay his hands on her body. He reminded her softly, "Come on, Sissi. You're pregnant."
Sissi was unbothered by his reminder. She persisted enthusiastically, "No one says that sex is forbidden during pregnancy."
Sawyer had to admit that he was tempted by her invitation. However, at the same time, he was aware that the early stage of pregnancy was crucial. He could not risk the safety of Sissi and her child. Therefore, he had no other choice but to turn her down.
"I want it now, please!" Sissi did not wish to cave in at this moment. In fact, she was pressing her body against his.
She could feel his heart pounding rapidly. That was why she did not understand what was holding him back.
"Did I not make it clear enough?
If this is the case, then I don't mind to take the initiative!"
With the thought of this in mind, Sissi's hands began to wander on Sawyer's body flirtatiously. Sawyer struggled to secure her hands from moving elsewhere. He looked in her eyes deeply as he asked, "Sissi, what’s wrong with you?"
Sissi was taken aback by his question. She stunned for a while before she bit her lips. She asked dejectedly, "Am I no longer attractive to you? Can't you see that I have been initiating moves to make love with you? Why aren't you responding to me?"
With that said, her tears began streaming down her cheeks.
The truth was she could not get over what she learned of last night. The fact that Abner requested for Amelia's companion was enough to terrify her.
In fact, she had a sleepless night overthinking the worst scenarios that she might need to deal with. Amelia was indeed her worst nightmare.
It was finally until dawn that her sleepiness kicked in. Just as she was about to doze off, all in a sudden she came to realize that Sawyer was gone out of her sight!
It was at that moment that Sissi had to do something to ease her situation, hence she decided that it was time for her to make some aggressive moves!
She got down from bed at lightning speed before heading to the bathroom. Upon washing up, she came to the wardrobe and grabbed one of those Sawyer's shirts. She then put it on in replacement of her sleepwear.
Sawyer could no longer suppress his desire. After all, he was a buff man with physical needs. Coupled with the fact that Sissi was trying her very best to lure him into making love with her, it was not possible for him to hold himself back anymore. It was at this time that a soft grumble coming from their
back, "Daddy..."
At that moment, Sawyer frowned and subconsciously retracted himself from Sissi. He then straightened his attire as well as Sissi's shirt.
Abner was still a kid after all. He probably had no idea of what was going on between the two adults. As a father, he had to be a role model for his son.
On the other hand, Sissi had been completely turned on by his kiss. She did not seem to realize that her attire was completely inappropriate in front of a small kid like Abner. The fact that she was not willing to cave in even after Abner had showed up seemed to suggest that she was not qualified to be a competent teacher.
That left Sawyer with no choice. He had to remind her, "Sissi, Abner is here!"
Upon hearing that, Sissi did not regard what they were having was inappropriate. After all, Abner was their child and Sawyer was her lover. There was nothing impermissible for her to show intimacy with the child's father in front of him.
With the thought in mind, she turned around and bent over in an attempt to carry Abner smilingly. Abner could not help but retreat. Although he said no words, his frowning look was obvious to suggest the fact that he was despised of her touch.
Sissi's smile began fading at the sight of this. She was swept away again by the unpleasant memory of what happened last night.
She struggled to suppress her grudge. She quickly plastered a smile on her face as she coaxed, "Abner, I'm Mommy! Have you forgotten me? Come here and let me hug you!"
Despite her effort, Abner remained unmoved.
Strangely, Sawyer did not speak for Sissi this time. Instead, he uttered faintly, "Sissi, you should go upstairs and get changed."
