Chapter 266
"At this moment, I recalled my decision last night to test Katniss, which now seems a bit unnecessary given the current situation, but I am still very curious about the outcome of this test.
After taking a few deep breaths, I moved the toothbrush cup back to its original position, aligning the handles of the two cups all in one direction on the left side.
After arranging the cups, I continued washing my hands. I imagine Katniss will be quite surprised when she sees this cup. According to her thoughts, my decision to work late tonight and not come home implies that she and Nathan can have sex at night. However, I do not agree to them having a sexual relationship tonight. Will Katniss overthink things? Perhaps she will feel puzzled, but she definitely won't expect that I am testing her.
After breakfast, I went to work and started a busy day at the office. The day Mia leaves is getting closer, and I am studying even harder. To be honest, although I occasionally manage the company's operations independently, having Mia by my side makes me feel much more at ease. Mia's departure makes me suddenly nervous, presenting a huge challenge that even someone like me, who is used to various situations, finds daunting.
During the leisurely lunch break, I made myself a cup of coffee to refresh myself and ordered takeout. With so much work, I couldn't be bothered to eat at the staff canteen. It's better to relax a bit during this time.
While relaxing, I started thinking about the situation at home. How is everything at home? How will Katniss feel when she sees the cup back in its original position? Will she think that me putting the cup back indicates that I might come home tonight? Will Katniss take advantage of my absence during the day to have sex with Nathan and make up for the lack of intimacy at night?
Coincidentally, the takeout will take a while to arrive, Mia is out running errands, and the staff are all eating in the cafeteria. I won't be disturbed for a while. I plugged in the encrypted external device and then opened the home surveillance video. At this time, Katniss and Nathan were having lunch at home. Nathan was talking more at the dining table, finally finding topics to talk to Katniss about. However, Katniss seemed indifferent, responding to Nathan in a cold manner with simple one or two-word replies. It's clear that Katniss is not in a good mood, and her emotions seem off. Seeing this, I knew that Katniss must be upset about the cup issue from this morning, and after two or three days, Katniss is almost at the point where she needs to release her desires, but unfortunately, I didn't give her that opportunity.
Seeing the two of them having a normal meal, and Katniss's spirits not being very high, her face looking normal, she doesn't seem like someone who has just had sex.
However, to see the whole picture, I adjusted the video to the moment I left home in the morning.
After seeing me off at the door, Katniss returned to the dining table to tidy up, but thinking that Nathan hadn't had breakfast yet, she put the breakfast back down. At this moment, Katniss seemed distracted, her eyes constantly looking at the bathroom door.
Seeing her like this, I knew she must have arranged the cup properly. After putting down the utensils, Katniss finally walked towards the bathroom door, not showing much nervousness at this moment. Perhaps she thought I would definitely agree to their sexual activity tonight, regardless of whether I noticed the cups.
But when Katniss opened the door and saw the cups placed on the sink, she froze, looking very surprised and a bit nervous. I had actually restored the cups to their original position.
Just last night, we had a conversation that reassured Katniss, so why did I suddenly change my mind this morning, completely contrary to what she expected?
Katniss was stunned. Meanwhile, the door on the other side opened, and Nathan, realizing that I had left, sneakily emerged from the bedroom. Seeing that I had indeed left, he breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to look at the breakfast on the table, noticing the open bathroom door and Katniss standing at the bathroom entrance.
"Katniss, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"
Nathan relaxed a lot after I left for work. He came up behind Katniss, watching her staring at the washbasin in a daze. He couldn't help but speak up, although Nathan didn't know if it was intentional or not. His body stood behind Katniss, not quite touching her tightly but close enough. It seemed like Nathan's hips lightly brushed against Katniss's perky buttocks, causing a stir in Katniss, who was lost in thought.
"Nothing."
Katniss, noticing Nathan's recent behavior, quickly distanced herself and pulled away from him. She seemed nervous, as if both of them were just maintaining a normal ethical relationship.
After saying this, Katniss walked past Nathan to return to the living room. However, after closing the door, she glanced back at the pair of cups that I had restored to their original positions, seeming reluctant to believe until the very end.
As the door closed, Katniss averted her gaze. At this point, she had forgotten about Nathan's harassment and appeared flustered, her mind ceasing to function, unable to believe what had just happened.
While Nathan was eating, Katniss sat on the sofa waiting. Nathan stole glances at Katniss while eating, but Katniss just sat there lost in thought, unaware of what she was thinking.
Katniss alternated between being nervous, puzzled, showing a hint of understanding, and then suspicion.
Seeing the changes in Katniss's facial expressions, she seemed to be speculating on all possibilities. Perhaps she thought I hadn't noticed the position of the cups, simply picked one up to brush her teeth, and then habitually placed it back in its original position without realizing that the cups had been deliberately rearranged today. Or maybe she completely misjudged and I intentionally restored the cups to their original positions.
After much contemplation, Katniss couldn't figure out which possibility was true. In the end, she could only shake her head in frustration.
As her sexual addiction gradually took hold, coupled with this annoyance, she became extremely agitated.
Nathan had just noticed Katniss's abnormal behavior. When he was at the bathroom door earlier, he also noticed Katniss staring at the washbasin in a daze. He was puzzled, not knowing what Katniss was looking at. Of course, he had no idea that Katniss was only looking at the toothbrush cup, which had become the code for whether he and Katniss could have a sexual relationship.
After finishing his meal, Nathan began to tidy up the tableware. Even then, his mind was elsewhere. While doing household chores, Katniss still inadvertently exposed her chest and underwear, satisfying Nathan, who was sitting on the sofa pretending to watch TV.
Nathan had been wanting to try having sex with Katniss during the day, as they had barely engaged in daytime activities. In fact, daytime was also a good opportunity for them to make love, as I definitely wouldn't be coming home during the day, unlike at night.
Katniss, on the other hand, was oblivious to everything else, lost in thought. It seemed like even doing housework was driven purely by instinct.
As Katniss bent down to scrub the floor, her swaying buttocks could be seen from behind, resembling a female dog in heat seeking attention. From the front, Nathan could see her deep cleavage and two full breasts swaying and dangling, which was too much for him to handle. His penis had long since become erect.
In the past few days, Nathan had been drawn to Katniss while she did the housework. He just didn't dare to make a move. However, as time passed, Nathan's courage grew, only watching every day without doing anything else. It was becoming unbearable for a normal man. Perhaps Nathan was also speculating whether Katniss was deliberately tempting him. In reality, Katniss had long wanted to take action herself, but was just too embarrassed to say it out loud.
When Katniss's back was facing Nathan, he finally stood up. At this moment, he was unsure of Katniss's thoughts, appearing very nervous. Katniss, lost in thought, was mistaken by him as a sign of impending sexual desire. Nathan seemed to believe that Katniss was in great need of him at that moment. Slowly, Nathan got up and walked towards Katniss, while Katniss was still lost in her thoughts, completely unaware of the sounds around her, despite the obvious sound of Nathan's footsteps.
As Nathan approached Katniss, she didn't even turn to look back, as if she didn't know he was there, still engrossed in what she was doing. This further convinced Nathan that Katniss seemed to be waiting for and consenting to his current actions.
"What are you doing?"
When Nathan squatted down and reached under Katniss's skirt to touch her buttocks, the contemplative Katniss reacted like a startled rabbit, jumping up from the ground directly, and then angrily questioning Nathan.
Her anger stemmed from the annoyance caused by the cup issue in the morning. It was a mix of frustration from being startled by Nathan's intrusion into her thoughts and the instability of her emotions due to the onset of sexual desire.
"Uh, nothing."
Nathan was stunned by the scene before him, just like in the morning, how could this situation be so different from what he had imagined? Looking at Katniss's angry expression, Nathan was truly scared. The deeper the love, the greater the fear. Nathan was now stuttering, unable to speak at all. His extreme fear at this moment didn't resemble that of an elder at all, but more like a child being scolded by his mother.
"Dad, I don't want it now, don't disturb me. When I want to, I will come to you on my own. Don't come to touch me without my consent in the future."
Seeing Nathan's expression, Katniss realized that she had just lost control and acted out of line. Her tone softened as she spoke, almost as if she was apologizing.
At the same time, she made her stance clear, that from now on, Nathan should not initiate contact. Any past attempts by Nathan to dominate or provoke were now rejected by Katniss with a single sentence.
But upon further thought, it made sense. After all, Katniss had taken the initiative in the letter to make decisions about the cup and herself. By agreeing, Katniss had taken the lead, and only then could everything happen. If she didn't agree, Nathan couldn't take the lead either, and nothing would happen.
"Okay."
This sentence from Katniss caught Nathan off guard. For some reason, Nathan couldn't understand why Katniss said this. Regardless of what this sentence meant, it made Nathan feel a distance between him and Katniss.
Having Katniss in control from now on was something any man wouldn't appreciate.
But what could he do? Would Nathan dare to defy Katniss? After Katniss said that, she continued to wipe the floor, not choosing to lie down, perhaps realizing that her unintentional and highly suggestive posture had caused Nathan to misunderstand.
Nathan returned dejectedly to the sofa to continue watching TV, but his mind was no longer on the screen.
Both of them were puzzled by each other's different doubts.
After finishing tidying up, Katniss returned to the bedroom. She sat on the bed looking very conflicted, thinking about many things, most of which were about me and her attitude towards me. She was very nervous, picking up the phone several times, hesitating before putting it back down. Perhaps she wanted to call me, but didn't have the courage.
Until noon, Katniss didn't leave the room, and Nathan, scared by Katniss's scolding in the morning, behaved obediently. When it was time to cook, Katniss finally came out of the bedroom. After preparing the meal, Katniss was still lost in thought, while Nathan tried to find topics to talk to her, seemingly wanting to make their relationship more intimate, at least to restore it to its previous state.
Having seen nothing happen in the morning, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat comforted. Without the morning cup's decision, when Nathan attacked Katniss in the morning, Katniss might have ended up sinking into Nathan's intense lovemaking once again.
