Karen above

Karen's POV.

Just like Terrance and the others, I had also not slept a wink because of Esther. Thankfully, she had a safe delivery but the doctor said she needed to be there for a bit.

I was about to leave my room when I opened the door, there stood Silas who I looked up at. Ever since we kissed, I had tried my very best to ignore him but now, I can't escape, he's here. I'm stuck.

''What are you doing here?" I demanded. He ignored my question, entered my room and closed the door and my heart thumped in my chest.

"Why do I have a feeling that you're ignoring me?" He asked deeply as he came closer to me.

"Um..I don't know?" I replied taking a step back but Silas will always come forward.

"Then stop ignoring me." He whispered.

"No." I said all of a sudden.

"No? But do you really hate me?" He asked.

"Silas go back." I said poking out my index finger with a warning looking even though my insides were spinning.

"Karen talk to me." He said still coming closer to me. When he was finally too close to me, I moved back and little and my knees bended on the bed.

I clutch to his shirt making him fall on me and I blushed embarrassed.

"Just admit Karen, you like me right?" He slowly grazed his lips on my ear and I shivered.

"No..I..I don't." I lied.

''Are you sure?" He asked and I didn't respond. I just hope that my heart which was pounding would be a hint.

"OK then," He smirked and my breath hiked. Mainly because his hand slipped into my blouse.

"Silas, what are you doing?" I asked shifting back on the bed but he moved forward till were were both lying fully on the bed. His soft lips was still at my ear and his hand was still under my blouse whiles I was still holding his shirt.

"You didn't answer my question." He whispered brushing his lips down my earlobe.

"You like me right?" He asked.

"No." I lied again.

"So.." He began. His slid his hand on my belly, making the insides of my stomach compress into a knot.

"Why would you take a bullet for me?" He asked when his hand were inches away from my bra.

"I..I don't know." I replied breathlessly.

He chuckled briefly and put his face in my neck."You don't know?" He  asked and his lips brushed my throat, down to the hollow of my neck. An almost audible moan climbed out of my mouth when he found a spot on my skin and gently bit and sucked it.

He stopped and brought his nose to lean on mine.

"Tell me Karen." He begged huskily and I blushed slightly when he caught me staring at his tempting  lips. They cracked into a smirk and he briefly spied mine.

"I..I don't like-" And he placed his lips on mine. After reading a few seconds, he pulled away and laid his nose on mine.

"Mhm? You were saying? You don't like?" He quirked his brows and I tried to breathe well.

You have a nose Karen! Breathe!

"I..I said." My throat was drained of any form of moisture and my heart was literally palpitating.

"I..I said I don't-'' My words were denied of coming out when he attached his lips with mine and pulled away chuckling.

"Karen, why can't you stop lying?" He asked.

"And why can't you stop pestering me?..oh wait.."I smirked. "Maybe, you like me." I said.

"Nope I don't." He said and a twinge of pain went into my chest. "Rather," He whispered, his lips slowly trailing on mine.

"I love you." He whispered again and I sucked my breath softly as my heart drowned in my blood.

He loves me!

"So just admit you like me too." He said dropping his brown eyes into my blue ones and at the same time, he traced his thumb on my lip.

I didn't know whether to let go of his shirt or tell the truth.

Truth It is!

"Tell me the truth Karen." He requested. "Do you like me?" He asked.

"Yes you idiot." I mumbled blushing.

He put his lips on mine to reduce my embarrassment and when I tightened my grip oh his shirt, his other hand snaked it my top and now both his hands were in my blouse, caressing the sides of my waist making me moan in his mouth and the knot tightened in my stomach.

Later, He picked me up and out me on his lap and I quickly encircled my legs around his muscular torso. The kiss was slow because he was gently sucking my bottom lip and I was nibbling on his upper lip and I yanked him more closer to me by his shirt.

He leaned himself on me, making me slant and his hands moved from my waist and crawled to my bare back, making shivers of delight rain in me as he supported me from straining my back.

The smooch started getting vigorously heated when I let go if his shirt, slid my palms on his his hard chest and rested briefly on his shoulder and then climbed them into his hair.

He groaned when I massaged his hair and he pressed me more to him, making me gasp and his tongue shove into my mouth and started fighting mine.

My fingers were shaking when I moved my hands to the buttons on his shirt and when I touched the fist button, he sighed and peeled off my hand making me groan. I groaned more loudly when he removed his lips from mine.

"So soon?" He asked smirking and I slapped his chest before I attempted his buttons again.

"Karen." He chuckled my name, held my wrist and I glared at him.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked and I nodded trying to wriggle out of his hold to rip off his shirt. He slipped his hand out of my blouse and held my cheeks and buried his face in my neck.

"No..Karen.." He murmured."We have to..." He kissed the mark on my neck. "We have to visit Esther." He whispered into my ears.

"Shit." I cursed and pushed him off me whiles he burst out laughing. I totally forgot.

"Karen, look at this one..Aww." Nina cooed at the first born, who dipped his tiny fist into his mouth. I attempted to carry him but when I stretched my hand, Terrance held them.

"Oh come on!" I whined. Yep, ever since we've been here, Terrance had prevented everyone, including his father and Esther's parents from touching the the babies.

Only God knows why.

"No, don't touch them yet." He said for the eighth time and I rolled my eyes as he smiled onto the cots. I suddenly realised his actions.

I glanced briefly at Esther and saw her chatting briefly with Silas and I groaned when he pinched her cheeks.

"Dude, go to your wife."I gritted up at Terrance  when he stroked his thumb on the last born's cheek.

"No, I'm trying to get back at her for what she did to me." He bit out. Yep, he told us everything and it sounded funny to me.

"But can't you see-"

"Yes, I can see that." He snapped looking briefly at Esther and Silas briefly.

"By the way, can you two handle these four?" I asked worried.

"Oh pffff, yeah,  I mean..how hard can it be?" He brushed off.

"I heard a couple with just one child and they were suffering so they sold the kid but you guys have four...can you handle them?"  I asked.

"Karen, don't worry, I said we can do it and there's no way we're selling any of our kids." He announced and I shrugged feeling Silas' gaze on me. I glanced at him and he passed me a sly smirk.

Idiot.
