He bring her out of the elevator as the man had too much blood on his face. Her body was hot but when his cold palm touched her she felt relief. Before she could process what was happening, he retraced his hands. "Are you fine?" He asked her.
She nodded. "Yes. Thank you for saving me. If you would not be there, I don't know what would have happened."
He noticed she was shivering. He thought it was because of her dress so like a gentleman, he gave his coat to her. "Thank you but you don't have to. I am going home anyway." She politely refused him.
He put the coat on her shoulders. "You need it more. Will you be able to go home. Should I drop you somewhere?" His soft voice almost made her give in but she still don't know this man, making her refuse his kindness. "No need for the trouble. I can hail a cab. Thank you once again."
Bella turned to leave but suddenly she felt dizziness and pain in her lower abdomen, so she crouched down. Lucas got confused seeing her. Her face was red and she was sweating and shivering at the same time. Is she having a fever?
"Are you having a fever?" He asked her crouching down beside her. She shook her head and replied, "No, it's just....my body feels very hot right now."
Lucas mentioned another possibility, connecting the dots after seeing her like that. "Did you get drugged?" It was something common in his circle and that man surely didn't have any good intentions.
"I don't know. I only drunk a little whiskey which was given by him." She was still confused about what would be the reason for her condition.
He sighed at her naive talks. "Do you think he got the courage to sleep with you when you are in your right mind? Obviously no. He drugged you. I should take you to the hospital."
Bella tried to stand up but because of the persisting pain she can't even straighten up. "Ah... I can't walk. It is painful."
"Let me take you to my room and then I will call a doctor for you. Come on, try to stand up." He said and give her his hand. She tried standing but her feets felt wobbly making her fall again. Suddenly she felt being lifted up by him. Her hands wrapped around his neck instinctively. She don't want to fall down. She looked ahead and found him taking her to a room.
His hands were touching her bare thighs and shoulder, intensifying the hotness she felt. She realised her head was on his chest when she heard his heartbeat. It made her calm down and the intimacy was giving her warmth.
He entered his room using key card and made his way to bed. He never thought he would be using this room now. His plan was to catch his traitor and then rest in the room. But that jerk didn't come today. Sighing he looked at the lady in her arms. Her hands were resting on his neck. He moved to the edge of bed and gently layed her down.
But she didn't notice it until the soft mattress touched her and his body separated from hers. He was going to move back but she grabbed his hand stopping him.
"Wait. Can you not leave me please?" She looked at him expecting a yes. Looking at him now she don't think that this man is a bad guy. "I'm only going to call the doctor." He replied. He thought she might still be scared of what happened just a few minutes ago. But then she gave an unexpected reply.
"I don't need a doctor when you are my cure." Her eyes looked straight into his eyes as if conveying her inner thoughts.
"What?" He was shocked when he heard her. She also didn't understand what she was implying by saying all this. All she knew was his touch was giving her relief from this pain and discomfort.
She wanted him to touch her more, maybe the pain will subside but a part of her was saying she was not doing right. She pulled him closer to her, ignoring her that part and looked into his eyes to find the answers of her questions.
Her body liked his touch but he was still a stranger, nothing more. She started crying because of her internal turmoil. Seeing her crying, he was confused, "What happened? Why are you crying suddenly?"
She still didn't look at his face. "Please help me. It is paining everywhere. It's very hot and uncomfortable."
"That is why I'm going to call a doctor." He quickly took out his phone from his pocket but her words made him stop. "No you are not understanding. Just now when you touched me, it felt good. I want you to touch me again."
He looked at her in disbelief. "What did he made you drink. Are you given aphrodisiacs?"
Bella shivered under his questioning gaze. "I don't know but the effect is so strong. It's not comfortable for me."
She was going to open her dress but his hand stopped her. "You are going to regret it later."
