Chapter 85 Outing
Upon hearing Katniss's sigh, I could feel her disappointment and helplessness, but I did try my best just now. Although my erectile dysfunction has been cured, premature ejaculation has emerged, it's like one problem is solved and another arises. Is everything really just fate?
After rinsing in the bathroom, Katniss returned to bed and lay quietly beside me. At this moment, the disappointment on her face had disappeared, indicating that she had adjusted her emotions in the bathroom and didn't want to show any negativity in front of me.
"Katniss, am I useless?" Thinking about my performance just now, I couldn't help but express this sentiment, also wanting to hear Katniss's attitude.
"Not at all, honey, you're much better than before. You're already great. Believe in yourself to continue recovering, getting completely better is just a matter of time. Don't lose heart, my dear, I'm very content." Katniss nestled in my arms, murmuring. I knew she was comforting me, even though I knew it wasn't her true feelings, but I was deeply moved, Katniss always so caring towards me.
The blush on Katniss's face slowly faded away, and I believed that the arousal she had just experienced had also subsided. Gradually, I heard the sound of her even breathing. Perhaps due to not sleeping well at Nathan's place last night, Katniss fell asleep quickly tonight, seeming very deep in sleep. However, in her sleep, she occasionally furrowed her brows, seemingly troubled even in her dreams. Watching Katniss's baby-like sleeping posture, I gently kissed her forehead.
In the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by the slight movement of the bed. Being half-asleep, I only squinted my eyes. I saw Katniss stealthily preparing to get out of bed, seeming very cautious, but because the mattress springs were very sensitive and I was a light sleeper, I was awakened. What was Katniss going to do? Why so cautiously, going to make a call or maybe leave the house? I waited for the answer to unfold.
After getting out of bed, Katniss quietly walked into the bathroom, turns out she was just going to the toilet, even being cautious to not disturb my sleep. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel warm inside, although the warmth in my heart hadn't spread throughout my body, I was then startled by a soft moan.
A sexy moan came from the bathroom, and upon hearing it, I felt a tightness in my heart. What's going on? Is Katniss having sex? Or masturbating? It's impossible for a man to sneak into my house in the middle of the night while I'm asleep.
I stealthily got out of bed, pressed my ear against the door, and clearly heard Katniss's moans, seemingly accompanied by the sound of water from masturbation, throughout it was only Katniss's voice. I felt a sense of relief, realizing that Katniss was masturbating alone in the bathroom, it seemed like her sexual desire was getting stronger, the arousal I had triggered before going to bed hadn't subsided, making Katniss uncomfortable, having to secretly masturbate in the middle of the night. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a bit inadequate, feeling very impotent.
The next day at work, during a break, I carefully pondered over the events of the past few days. Due to Katniss's rejection and Nathan being away from home, my original plan had hit a deadlock, unsure of how to proceed. Should I confess to Katniss and Nathan that everything was arranged by me? No, because I couldn't predict the consequences once Katniss and Nathan found out, not to mention if they would believe me. It carried a great risk.
At the same time, thinking about my performance in bed with Katniss last night, my inadequacy compared to Nathan, I felt a sense of injustice. My penis wasn't as thick as Nathan's, something I couldn't change due to genetics. But was I also lacking in endurance and hardness compared to Nathan? Upon careful reflection, it seemed like in terms of sex, I really didn't measure up to Nathan in any aspect. Penis thickness, ejaculation volume, endurance, hardness, I fell short in all areas compared to Nathan.
At that moment, I remembered the first night Katniss and Nathan had sex, Nathan had taken the sex pills I secretly gave him, he was so vigorous that night, and that vigor was inseparable from the sex pills. Why didn't I prepare some sex pills for myself? To regain my dignity in front of Katniss, to show my manly charm again?
With these thoughts in mind, during a break at work, I secretly contacted the seller online. After this period of time, he had restocked, I discussed my actual situation with him. Since many people were buying sex pills from him, he had long forgotten who I was, I didn't mention our past dealings to avoid any suspicion, even though the probability was very low.
However, when I mentioned that I had a serious physical illness, he suddenly advised me not to buy his pills. According to him, his sex pills, when taken, would severely stimulate the sexual organs, allowing a person to reach the peak of sexual function. For a normal person, it was okay, but with my existing serious illnesses in the sexual organs, kidneys, and prostate, along with the stimulation from the sex pills, although it could temporarily enhance my sexual function, the potential consequences were huge. It could worsen my condition, even leading to lifelong erectile dysfunction or infertility, and possibly accelerate the onset of age-related prostate enlargement.
I doubted his viewpoint, was it really true? I raised my doubts, and he seemed impatient, finally stating that he was just doing business to make money, if I insisted on taking them, he could sell them to me, but he wouldn't be responsible for any consequences. His business was already in a gray area, if I reported any disputes to the police, his business risk would greatly increase, so to avoid disputes, he explained the pros and cons to me.
With that in mind, I called my original attending physician, secretly hiding in the bathroom to make the call. I inquired in detail, and the attending physician's response was almost identical to the seller's, sex pills were like drugs, long-term use would have side effects, although the side effects were far less severe than drugs. Moreover, taking sex pills to satisfy marital life wasn't a long-term solution. Hearing the attending physician say the same, I had to give up the idea of buying sex pills for myself. I couldn't indulge in temporary pleasure and ruin my future sex life.
I spent the whole day in a daze, I was an optimistic person, when faced with unavoidable troubles, I would try to think positively. Although my illness still persisted, with gradual recovery, there would eventually be a better day. Moreover, due to my current physical condition, Katniss's sexual needs weren't being met, which could potentially drive Katniss and Nathan's plan forward even better. When Katniss reached a point of unfulfilled desire, with a little push from me, everything would become possible. Thinking through all this, I felt much more at ease.
In the blink of an eye, after a few days, I successfully completed my work plan for the quarter, and the general manager was very pleased. Seizing this opportunity, I requested a quarterly vacation from him, and the general manager readily agreed, granting me a 10-day vacation. Upon returning home and telling Katniss about it, she was also excited, women are naturally fond of fun, especially traveling. Since Katniss had mentioned traveling before, we had been waiting for an opportunity for me to take a break, and now that chance had finally arrived.
Katniss and I planned our itinerary, with our main destination being Denver, because both of us loved the mountains and waters of Denver, having only seen them on TV before, now we could experience it firsthand, and we were both very excited. After buying the plane tickets and preparing our luggage, we were all set.
The night before departure, Katniss and I went to see Nathan again, informing him of our travel plans. Upon hearing that we were going on a trip, Nathan's face showed a hint of envy, he advised us to stay safe and return early, although the smile on his face seemed somewhat forced. Knowing the truth beforehand, I could clearly read the deep sadness in Nathan's eyes. Since his birthday, he seemed to have lost more weight, with more wrinkles on his face and hands, Nathan seemed to have aged a lot since that night.
After giving Nathan some instructions, we left Serenity Bay Isle where Nathan was staying. Nathan had the keys to my house, in case of any emergencies, he could return home anytime. During our absence, Simon was being looked after by Sophia. With everything sorted out, Katniss and I boarded the plane, heading straight to our destination.
Finally getting a chance to get out, Katniss, who had been feeling down, suddenly seemed much brighter, on the plane she kept discussing where to go, what to eat, what to do, and where to stay. Katniss was flipping through magazines, searching online, I had to admit, Katniss was very organized and efficient, even before reaching our destination, she had planned everything out.
Upon arriving in Denver, we had booked a hotel, feeling a bit tired, I lay down on the bed to rest, but Katniss soon dragged me out to see the night scenery. I accompanied Katniss, feeling weary, as we went out, sometimes shopping, sometimes eating delicious food, Katniss was like a child again, running around happily. Seeing Katniss so carefree, laughing and playing joyfully like a little elf, I felt comforted.
This trip was meant to help Katniss ease her inner turmoil, ever since her relationship with Nathan, Katniss had been conflicted internally, and through this trip, she could hopefully find some relief, although how much relief she would find remained uncertain.
Upon returning to the hotel, it was already past eleven at night, after taking a shower, I lay down on the bed ready to sleep, especially after such a tiring day. I closed my eyes, and heard the sound of water from the bathroom, Katniss was taking a shower at that moment. I had initially thought of being intimate with Katniss on the first night of our trip, but the exhaustion hit me hard, and I was about to drift off into a deep sleep.
Just as I was falling into a slumber, I suddenly felt an itch on my nose, as if something was brushing against it. My consciousness slowly began to awaken, although my eyes hadn't opened yet. As my awareness sharpened, I heard what seemed like music playing in our bedroom, a soft and ambiguous tune.
I gradually opened my eyes, and the hotel bedroom was lit up with a charming pink light, the hotel's chandelier could adjust brightness and color based on the number of times it was turned on, so the bedroom suddenly turned into a pink light, which didn't strike me as odd.
Focusing my gaze on the empty space in front of the bed, I only glanced once, but my eyes widened in disbelief. The scene before my eyes was so unbelievable that I couldn't look away.
