Chapter 750 Six of One and Half a Dozen of the Other
Sonia squirmed, disagreeing with Toby’s words.
Who says it wasn’t embarrassing? We’re talking about the intimacy we had last night, so how was that not embarrassing?! Furthermore, I just sacrificed my first time technically, so there is no way I won’t feel embarrassed about that. Moreover…
Sonia pulled on the collar of her pajamas, revealing her fair neck that would have looked otherwise perfect if it hadn’t been for the reddish kissing marks. Then, she looked at her own collarbone with a blushed face, laying eyes on the hickeys before she gawked at the man beside her in annoyance. “Look at what you’ve done! This is completely unacceptable. How do you expect me to meet anyone like this?”
Noticing the marks that he had left on Sonia’s body, Toby curled his lips upward and replied, “It’s winter now, so all you have to do is just wear something with a high collar, and no one will be able to spot your hickeys. Furthermore, I’m not the only one who was being naughty.”
“What?” Sonia straightened her spine, having a bad feeling on the inside. The next second, she saw Toby turning around and facing away from her.
“What are you doing?” Sonia asked the man in confusion.
Toby didn’t respond as he only looked down and untied his sleeping robe, taking it off and revealing his muscular back. While Sonia had seen his bare back before, she hadn’t forgotten how many scars were left by Rose’s caning during her punishment.
However, she quickly noticed a few fresh wounds on the man’s back that ran from his shoulders all the way down to the birthmark on his waist besides the caning scars. As the wounds looked horrible, the milder ones were blue-black in color without any signs of bleeding, but the more severe ones resulted in his scraped skin with scabs on the surface.
Needless to say, Sonia was able to tell how Toby developed those wounds on his back. Upon noticing the cuts on the man’s skin, she suspected that they were inflicted by someone who scratched him with her nails. Then, she immediately turned her attention to her fingernails and noticed blood stains on them. As what she saw suggested, she was the one who left the scratch marks on Toby’s back.
No wonder he said he was not the only one who was being naughty because I inflicted those scratch marks on him while he covered my skin with hickeys all over. We’re not so different, I guess.
At the sight of the scratch marks left on Toby’s back, Sonia was rendered speechlessly awkward.
Then, Toby slowly looked back at her, setting his eyes on her embarrassed look. After that, he chuckled and shrugged his shoulders a little, putting his sleeping robe back on before he turned around and stretched out his hand toward her. “Get up, girl. Aren’t you hungry?”
Of course, I’m hungry. After a long night and the long sleep she had just had, Sonia felt so hungry that she barely had any strength left.
In fact, the reason she struggled to get up was because of her hunger, along with the soreness she was experiencing. Due to that, she extended her arm to seize Toby’s hand.
As soon as the man held Sonia’s hand, he flexed his arm a little and effortlessly got her out of bed. However, the moment Sonia’s legs landed on the ground, she immediately went weak at the knees and fell forward.
Toby, who noticed the reaction, quickly caught her in his embrace to prevent her from falling, but even so, she still moaned in pain.
“What’s wrong?” Toby looked down with a nervous look on his face.
“Ouch! It hurts,” Sonia took a deep breath and tearfully said.
“Where does it hurt?” Toby asked anxiously.
Sonia bit her lip with her blushed cheeks without saying anything while Toby was able to tell where it hurt from her embarrassed look. In that instant, the man’s ears turned red as he awkwardly faked a cough and replied, “I’m sorry for what happened last night. I…”
“No! Don’t say it!” Sonia seemingly knew what he was going to say and quickly covered his mouth, cutting him short in an awkward manner.
Toby nodded, expressing his agreement not to say a word more as Sonia wished.
I must have gotten carried away when I finally got to share an intimate moment with her last night, which was why I forgot to be gentle. Oh man! I can still remember the miserable look on her face in the shower after that. The pain in there must have hurt her like hell. This was all my fault!
In the meantime, Sonia had no idea what was on Toby’s mind but decided to take her hands off his mouth after noticing his willingness to go along with her cheeks still blushing. Then, the man caught his breath a little and tried to carry her in his arms.
“What’re you doing?” Sonia appeared to be startled.
“You’re not feeling well, so don’t strain yourself with the walking. I’ll carry you,” Toby said as he carried her and walked out of the room.
“No. Let me down. Your arms are hurt.” Sonia sounded anxious.
Upon hearing her words, Toby felt helpless, yet flattered. “Don’t worry. My arms are recovering well, and I know what I’m doing, so I’ll be fine.”
In the face of the man’s serious response, Sonia eventually gave in and let him continue to carry her since his left arm seemed fine, not to mention the fact that she was already in his arms. Furthermore, she could barely walk without much strength left in her, while the burning sensation she felt in her crotch with each step she took only served to discourage her from walking. Frustrated and annoyed with that, she patted the man’s shoulder impatiently. “This is all your fault.”
Toby hissed in pain and smiled. “Are you blaming me now? What do you say if you get to punish me for that?”
“Hmm?” Sonia’s eyes lit up as she reckoned Toby’s suggestion was a good idea that had just piqued her interest. “Alright, how would you like to be punished, then?”
With mischief filling his eyes, Toby replied, “Do the same thing to me like what I did to you. Make me suffer so much that I can’t walk.”
“Are you serious?” Sonia was stunned.
“Of course!” Toby nodded seriously. “Isn’t that fair?”
“Jeez!” Sonia rolled her eyes at the man with her face flustering in embarrassment. Fair? Like hell, that’s fair! I’m still going to be at the losing end, even if I manage to make him suffer so badly that he can’t walk.
Believing that women could never match men’s physical strength, Sonia feared that her fate would be much worse if Toby had a problem walking. For that, she reckoned Toby was actually trying to take advantage of her with the excuse of his so-called punishment.
Hmph! Forget about it, Toby!
“I’m just kidding, so lighten up.” Toby chuckled when Sonia caught on to what he was saying.
“You know you could be beaten to death for making such a lame joke, don’t you?” Sonia then patted Toby’s back, hurting the scratch marks on him, which caused him to moan in pain with a frown on his pale face.
“What’s wrong with you?” Sonia seemed scared.
“Nothing. Just don’t be scared,” Toby responded with a deep voice.
“That serves you right.” Sonia seemingly understood Toby’s meaning behind his words and grunted. Despite her mean reply, she still took her hand off his back and placed her grip around his neck playfully, showing her concern to Toby, who was aware of that.
Soon, Toby brought the lady to the dining table and sat her down. When Sonia saw the table full of dishes, the messy arrangement gave the man away and implied to her that he was the author of this masterpiece.
“Not bad.” Sonia happily shook her leg, feeling warm on the inside to see the man she loved to cook for her.
Then, Toby placed the spoon in her hand and asked, “I specially prepared you some porridge. How does it taste?”
“Yeah.” Sonia nodded with a smile and scooped a spoonful of porridge.
Toby looked at the lady, seemingly waiting to hear her comments. Nonetheless, Sonia reacted in a coy manner and said, “Well, I suppose it wasn’t easy to screw up amidst the preparation of a simple dish, right?”
