BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80: Friend's mother
There she was—Fiona. A vision of delicate beauty, her form was caught in the intimate dance of water droplets cascading down her skin. Time seemed to waver, caught between the delicate tension of surprise and admiration. His eyes were drawn to her, and his breath was stolen as her presence painted a portrait of vulnerability and allure.
There she was standing naked, wiping herself with the towel, her private parts were laid before all his eyes could take them in whole.
As realization dawned upon her, Fiona's movements stilled, her gaze locking with his. In the hush that followed, her fingers instinctively clutched a towel, a makeshift shield against the intrusion of eyes upon her.
"Oh! Jaegar!" she exclaimed, her voice a fragile melody that disrupted the charged silence. The towel was drawn around her, a protective cocoon that veiled her form from his gaze. Her cheeks flushed with a delicate hue of embarrassment at the unexpected encounter.
Jaegar's gaze, unbidden, traced a path along the contours of her form. His eyes followed the wet rivulets that adorned her calves and thighs, like liquid gems glistening in the soft light. The strands of her damp hair clung to her face, adding an element of untamed allure.
His attention then rested on the delicate curve of her chest, emphasized by the protective embrace of the towel she had drawn around herself.
Jaegar couldn't help but feel a surge of desire, his heart pounding in his chest as he tried to regain his composure. He found himself captivated by her presence, a magnetic pull that he couldn't resist.
Startled by his presence, Fiona's movements halted, her eyes meeting his with a mix of surprise and a hint of vulnerability. Her fingers tightened around the towel, a barrier woven from modesty, as her cheeks flushed with a delicate shade of pink. The air between them was charged, thick with unspoken awareness.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Selfridges," Jaegar's voice emerged, laced with sincere contrition. "I didn't know you were in here."
Fiona's response carried an air of understanding, a gentle acceptance that brushed away the embarrassment that lingered in the room. "It's okay, darling. I didn't lock the door. I thought no one was home.
Jaegar's gaze, a mingling of apologetic eyes and a downward focus, remained fixed for a moment too long. Recognizing the intensity of his gaze, Fiona shifted slightly beneath the towel, a subtle gesture to preserve her modesty. As Jaegar turned to leave, gently closing the door behind him, Fiona found herself caught in a storm of emotions.
A warmth crept over her, a flush that colored her cheeks as she whispered to herself, "Why am I feeling hot all of a sudden?"
He didn't want to stay in there for any longer, as he couldn't resist her beautiful naked form. And he suddenly thought of Pierre, and the woman inside was his mother, making the situation even more uncomfortable.
She had noticed his gaze and the way he looked at her with a mixture of desire and guilt. It made her feel vulnerable and exposed, and she couldn't help but wonder if he saw her differently now. The silence between them grew heavy, filled with unspoken words and unfulfilled desires.
As he walked away, the echo of her voice reached him, bearing the soft exclamation, "Was he staring at my body?" She couldn't help but notice his intense gaze at her.
Her introspective query held a touch of amusement and bewilderment, mingling with the realization that Jaegar had witnessed an intimate moment she hadn't anticipated. The fleeting encounter ignited a spark of curiosity within her, a sense of intrigue she hadn't felt in a long time. It was a momentary distraction, a respite from the monotony that had marked her life for years.
Yet, as the waters of impulse rippled through her mind, she swiftly dispelled them. These thoughts were the offspring of sudden desire, and she brushed them away, knowing that such feelings demanded a more measured consideration.
The encounter, though fleeting, lingered in the air like an unspoken secret, a reminder that life's unexpected moments could be the catalysts of change, even within the confines of the mundane.
The tranquility that had momentarily settled over the house was disrupted by the sound of a familiar voice, slicing through the quiet like a sharp blade. "Mom, I'm home." Pierre and Jennifer's return marked their arrival, their voices echoing in the hallway as they announced their presence.
Fiona descended the stairs to greet them, her attention shifting from the thoughts that had occupied her to the warmth of their companionship.
The thoughts that had hung in the air, unspoken and pregnant with implication, seemed to step aside momentarily. The atmosphere shifted as familial exchanges filled the spaces between them. Conversations and laughter painted a façade over the unspoken tensions that had flitted through the house earlier.
Another day unfolded, marked by their shared experiences within the walls of the house. Throughout the hours that slipped by, Jaegar cautiously navigated the terrain of their interactions. He sought to keep his distance, to sidestep the memory of the bathroom encounter that seemed to linger in the corners of his mind.
Fiona, too, seemed content to tread lightly, the memory of that unexpected moment seemingly shuffled aside for the time being.
The following day arrived, ushering in the much-anticipated event that had blanketed the city in an air of festivity. Vibrant hues and jubilant spirits painted the city in a kaleidoscope of celebration.
The team members, along with Professor Isadora, Jeanine, and Coach Henry, have arrived in the city and settled themselves in a hotel.
