It All Started With Hatred-Chapter 145: Fall hard for him

Sighing in satisfaction. Petal sank her body further in the bathtub feeling relaxed. The bathroom in the master room was big too with a large tub that could fit three people easily. After she took a shower. She ran the water in the bathtub and added essential oils to relax her body and mind.

The bathtub was filled with bubbles covering her nude body if Ethan decided to shamelessly enter the bathroom. Laying her head on the edge of the tub. She closed her eyes trying to not think about anything. But unfortunately what happened earlier just couldn’t leave her mind. Now she wonders what is going to happen once she steps out of the bathroom.

Petal covered her face with her hands. Blushing. What she was thinking was wanting something like this to happen. But it is only natural as Alice told her. Feeling the need to clear her thoughts. She closed and immersed her body in the water. Hoping that will ease her nervousness.

Getting out of the tub. Petal picked the towel and started to dry her body and hair. Opening her bag that she packed her makeup and personal things in. She took the lotion bottle out. Opening it she started to apply it to her body. It was the bottle that Ethan had brought to her. He told her to take this one with her when they were packing their clothes.

Finishing with that. She moved to her hair. Wondering what to do about it. She decided to straighten it with the hair straighter and let it down. Petal stared at herself in the mirror taking a deep breath. She tried to calm herself. She didn’t know why she was scared like this. The unknown maybe? Or maybe herself? She didn’t know.

Done with styling her hair. She put on light makeup. Very light one since she hates thick layers of makeup. It wasn’t her style. Now that she is finished getting ready. She picked up the nightgown that she bought. It was a silky snowy white. It reached just above her knees. Petal felt embarrassed seeing herself wearing something like this. Her body was exposed. It wasn’t like she was used to.

She picked up the robe and tied the knot on the side before she gathered her things and stepped out of the bathroom. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ethan wasn’t in the room. She noticed Sighing in relief. She still needed a few minutes with herself.

Outside the room. Ethan was reviewing the reports of the factors income for the last month. He had just finished showing and decided to do some work while giving Petal some privacy to herself.

Remembering how she walked upstairs with shaking legs he chuckled. Though he had touched and kissed her many times, she wasn’t able to get rid of her shyness and he loved that part of her. Ethan was always fascinated by how she carried herself. Reserved. Quiet and calm. Not an outspoken person. and very shy around him.

He wonders what she’s doing right now. Ethan wasn’t planning to force in doing anything she doesn’t like. He doesn’t want her to hate him. He wants to love him. Fall hard for him. His love for her overpowers his lust for her body.

After reviewing the reports and making a few calls and checking the emails that were sent for him from the factory managers. He left the study room and went upstairs. Heading to the bathroom.

Ethan was wearing a set of black loungewear. The kind that Petal loves on him. He had noticed that by himself because she was too shy to tell him something like that. He noticed that whenever he wore a V neckline sweater or loungewear in the house. He always catches her staring at him secretly.

Knocking on the door. He waited for a while before he opened the door and entered the room. Ethan saw Petal standing in front of the window. Staring outside. Her black hair was let down. He noticed that she was wearing something different from what she uselessly wears to bed. She turned to look at him while she tugged her hair behind her. Staring at him with her hazel eyes. Embarrassment appeared in her eyes.

What was she embarrassed about? He wondered walking towards her.

Standing in front of her. Ethan bent down kissing her forehead as he held her by the arms. "You look beautiful." He said, pushing her hair back before he cupped her face.

Petal smiled weakly, lowering her head in shyness. Her heart was racing and her face started to feel warm. She was sure that her face was red by now.

Ethan pulled back to admire her beauty. He could see that she was wearing revealing lingerie under the white robe. Placing his hand under her chin. Left her head up to look at him.

"Did you wear this for me?" Ethan asked, staring into her eyes.

Petal’s face heats up at his question. He didn’t need to ask her directly like this. But it was true. She did wear it for him. To please him just like he always does to her. So she nodded her head.

Ethan took his own time admiring her beautiful facial features. From her big hazel eyes to her small nose and plump lips. Everything about her fascinates him. "Are you giving me the permission to touch you?" He asked as she ran his fingers through her straightened hair. Bringing a lock to his lips.

Petal knew that there wasn’t a way out of this. She had decided. so she can’t just back out now. Both were adults knowing what they were doing. So she needs to prove to him that she’s ready. Reaching for the robe knot with shaking hands. She undid it. Pushing the robe open. Petal looked up at him with her innocent eyes. Telling him her answer with actions

Ethan’s eyes landed on her exposed chest and bosom. He could see her erect nipples visible through the thin fabric. The snowy white silky lingerie suited her milky pale pink skin.
