Chapter 13 Deep Love
After a sleepless night, the next day I got up to go to work. Since I start work earlier than Katniss, every day when I go to work, Katniss is still fast asleep. Katniss is a sleepyhead, she always needs to be woken up by an alarm clock. In order to let the elderly Nathan have sufficient sleep, I never let Nathan get up early, so no one makes breakfast for me. Usually, I buy some coffee and sandwiches at the Morning Glory Cafe downstairs, then I squeeze onto the bus, eating the breakfast I bought to fill my stomach.
Due to last night's events, I fell asleep in a drunken stupor in the late night, so I have no idea whether Katniss fell asleep after I did. But when I woke up the next morning, Katniss was already up, with red eyes and dark circles. A sumptuous breakfast was already set on the table, and Nathan was still sound asleep, probably due to drinking too much the night before.
"Honey, wake up, hurry and freshen up. I've already prepared hot water for you in the bathroom. After washing up, quickly have your meal," Katniss sweetly said to me, with a sweet smile on her face, tinged with a hint of guilt.
"Darling, what's going on? Unbelievable? You're up so early and even made breakfast for me?" I teased with a smile.
Katniss, who was setting the tableware on the table, froze for a moment upon hearing my words, then relaxed and turned back, wrinkling her straight nose, saying, "You're so naughty, teasing me like that. I won't make breakfast for you anymore." Katniss turned back to continue preparing breakfast.
"Darling, don't be mad, I was just joking with you. Thank you for the loving breakfast, I'm so touched," I said. Katniss fell silent upon hearing my words, looked at me with a gaze of hidden guilt, then walked over to me, gently embracing me, pressing her face against my chest, murmuring, "Honey, from now on, I'll get up every day to make breakfast for you, okay?"
"Okay, darling, I'm tired of eating the stuff from Morning Glory Cafe every day. Your cooking is the most delicious. But can you really get up this early every day?" I rested my chin on Katniss's long hair.
"I can, I definitely can. Honey, I love you," Katniss murmured against my chest.
As I left the house, Katniss watched me from the balcony window, until I reached the street corner. After the events of last night, I realized that Katniss's love for me had deepened, because her actions, from preparing breakfast to watching me leave, were something new, easing my last bit of worry about pushing Katniss and Nathan to make love. I could now confidently move forward.
Starting the day at work, I got busy. During my free time, I thought about last night. Tonight, when I get home from work and watch the recording, I'll know the truth about everything that happened last night. I knew that Katniss suddenly starting to prepare breakfast for me and watching me leave for work in the morning was to make up for her guilt towards me, it was compensation. Through this guilt, Katniss discovered a deeper love for me, and I believed in her love for me. This was the result I wanted. Whatever happened between Katniss and Nathan in the end, Katniss's heart had to be with me. Her body could be shared with Nathan, but her heart belonged to me alone.
Returning home from work, Katniss was waiting at the door as usual, ready to hand me my slippers and briefcase. Nathan was as usual, nothing out of the ordinary. From this kind of home environment, I felt harmony.
Katniss's gaze towards me was more natural compared to the morning. I believed that after last night and today, she had adjusted her mindset properly.
During dinner, Katniss talked to Nathan more than usual, even more than she talked to me. Seeing this, a small hint of jealousy crept into my heart.
Tonight, my attention was mainly focused on Katniss. I noticed that while Katniss was tidying up the tableware and the room, she would sometimes inadvertently glance at Nathan's crotch. Although her glances were very subtle, I caught them. This was something that had never happened before. At that moment, my mind started to wander, and my eagerness to watch the recording grew stronger.
Finally, when Katniss fell asleep, I nervously opened the monitoring software on my computer. I set the time to when Katniss entered Nathan's room.
As the video progressed, my grip tightened, and I suddenly realized that along with anticipation, there was also a hint of fear in my heart. Although I had always hoped for Katniss and Nathan to have a sexual relationship, it had been a fantasy. But if it actually happened, would I be as excited and composed as I had imagined?
Despite the excitement tinged with fear, I kept my eyes fixed on the computer screen. In the video, Katniss opened the door to Nathan's bedroom and walked in. The bedroom light was off, and last night, when I left Nathan's room, I was worried about what Katniss might do if she came in, so I had also closed the curtains.
In the video, Nathan's bedroom was pitch black. Katniss, using the light from the doorway, looked towards Nathan's bedside table, finding nothing there. She then turned her gaze to Nathan's bed, but due to the limited light coming in from the doorway, she couldn't see the phone on the bed clearly. Katniss found the switch on the bedside table, ready to turn on the light. Once the light was on, Katniss would be able to see everything on Nathan's body.
Sitting next to the computer, my heart was at its peak, and I even felt my breathing becoming difficult. I even had the urge to grab Katniss's hand, to stop her from turning on the light in Nathan's room. Everything I had planned was about to happen, yet I found myself hesitating.
The light in Nathan's room was turned on, and Katniss slowly turned her body to look at Nathan's bed. The first thing that caught her eye was Nathan's strong, dark chest. Despite the wrinkles and sagging skin due to age, Nathan's body still looked strong because of his physical labor since childhood.
Fortunately, Nathan was in the same position I had left him in last night, and due to his heavy drinking, he hadn't moved to disrupt that position. Seeing this, Katniss blushed, realizing that my phone wasn't on the upper half of the bed, she turned her gaze to the lower half, which corresponded to Nathan's lower body.
A cry escaped from Katniss's lips, perhaps afraid of waking up the drunken Nathan. She quickly covered her sexy red lips with her fair hand. Since Katniss covered her mouth right after making the sound, I hadn't heard her cry last night.
In Katniss's gaze, Nathan's large erect penis, exposed below his underwear, stood straight up due to his arousal. The glans, the size of an egg, was on top, resembling the mushroom cloud formed by an atomic bomb exploding in Japan during World War II.
At this point in the video, Katniss had forgotten her original purpose for entering the room. With her left hand tightly covering her lips, her eyes showed disbelief, her body trembling to the extreme, almost collapsing. Her right hand was still on the bedroom light switch, but now it was leaning against the wall. If her right hand wasn't supporting her against the wall, Katniss would probably have collapsed on the floor. Her entire body was now supported by that right hand against the wall.
Katniss covered her mouth with her hand, breathing heavily, the exhaled air making muffled sounds due to her hand blocking it. Although Katniss was shocked to the extreme by suddenly seeing Nathan's large penis, her eyes never left Nathan's lower body, no matter how nervous she was, her gaze remained fixed on Nathan's lower body in the video, where Nathan's erect penis looked so long and thick. Gradually, from Katniss's gaze, I saw desire slowly igniting, growing stronger and stronger.
