Captive?

"You need to confront Arius?" Nora looked at me, "About this email?"

"Yea." I nodded and looked at the screen, "I thought this was all done with, finished two decades ago but," I sighed.

"I see."

"But-" I looked at Nora, "I need you to finish the conversation first."

"Hmm?"

"Tell me, we weren't finished talking about you."

"Ah~ Right I was giving you basic period information." She cleared her throat, "Where were we? Oh right! How not getting periods can cause infertility and stuff."

"Hmm, So?" I waited for her answer anxiously.

"That's it actually, there's nothing more." She scratched her nose tip, then looked at my bewildered expressions, "What?"

"Why did you give me this information? Isn't it because you're going through it?"

"Me?" She pointed at herself, "Psh! No. I have a healthy body."

"To scare the hell out of you." She grinned at me, "I wanted to see if you cared."

"Why wouldn't I care!?"

"Oh I know you do care." She stood up and closed the gap between our bodies, "Ever since I came back, we've met quite some times, haven't we?"

"Hmm," I gave her a slight nod.

"Doesn't that make me the problem?"

"What problem??" I rubbed my temples, "Why are you messing with me? Did I do something wrong?"

"Of course you did."

"I did…?"

She wrapped her arms around my waist and left no space between our bodies, "You didn't make a single attempt to sleep with me."

"Huh?" My brain went blank at her words. There was nothing in it and it wouldn't process anything, "..."

"Hey? I asked you something."

"Ah, Well, I- Uh, I never said I didn't want to but I-" I what? I don't even know what I'm saying, I'm just saying it.

"You don't want to sleep with me?"

"I do!"

Shit…

I think I said that a little too enthusiastically.

"I-" I scratched the back of my head as I tried gathering my words, "I mean- I, I thought it might seem-"

Nora slid her hands on my cheeks and kissed me.

I kissed her back immediately, sort of relieved but still confused with words but everything went blank again when I felt her unbuckling my belt.

I broke off the kiss and picked her up, "Not here." I said and took her out of the study and went straight to my room.
