“No, no.”
Ariana shook her head firmly and hurriedly pushed Theodore into the bathroom. She shut the door quickly to avoid looking at his dissatisfaction.
She was dead tired after giving him a hand job. Yet he still wanted to continue? There was no way she would do it again now. ©
Ariana made a face at the door.
Soon, the sound of water sounded from the bathroom, and she didn’t wait around any longer. She had seen his stamina and thought it might be a while before he came out.
She rubbed her belly and went downstairs to heat the food she hadn’t finished during dinner. When she opened the fridge, a strange sound rang. Startled, she tumed to look in the direction of the source. It seemed to be from the greenhouse. ©
Ariana’s heart raced as she set down the items in her hands, her curiosity piqued by the unusual sound outside. She approached the door of the living room cautiously, taking in the dimly lit greenhouse. The few street lights cast long, eerie shadows, making the area appear more somber than it did during daylight hours.
She hesitated, her anxiety rising, before finally stepping out of the living room and into the corridor.
Logically speaking, it couldn’t be a burglar. The manor was nestled in the southern suburbs. It was neither remote nor easily accessible. High walls encompassed the estate, and hidden alarms were strategically placed throughout. The formidable security measures deterred ordinary thieves from even considering the location.
Still, the peculiar sound gnawed at her, leaving Ariana on edge. Clutching a lamp to her chest, she ventured toward the greenhouse with trepidation.
Upon finding the door unlocked, she gently pushed it open and tiptoed inside, her senses heightened.
As her fingers grazed the light switch, a shadow suddenly darted past her.
Ariana’s heart leaped into her throat, and the lamp slipped from her trembling hand, shattering upon impact with the ground.
“Meow!” The black figure meowed at Ariana. The moonlight revealed a black cat gracefully perched on a table, its curious gaze locked on the unexpected intruder. Its tail stood tall, swaying gently.
Relief washed over Ariana, her chest heaving as she attempted to steady her breathing. It was only a cat, after all. Unable to resist the adorable feline, she took a couple of hesitant steps forward and whispered, “Meow, little one, come here.”
The black cat lowered itself, its front legs supporting its body. Its enchanting blue eyes, reminiscent of gemstones, remained fixed on Ariana.
The cat permitted her to gently stroke its head, its ears quivering with pleasure.
