Chapter 54: Let Me Rub It

A sudden cramp in her calf caused Cathryn to open her eyes. She didn't even notice that Keith was sitting next to her as she hurried to clasp her knee. She held onto it and cried out in pain.

With the taste of her still remaining on his lips, he instantly reacted. He kneeled on the floor and held her leg in his hands. He gently and slowly rubbed her muscles with his fingers.

One of the tendons in her calf, as if a sharp knife had cut it, was causing her so much discomfort. Severe pain shot through her, and a cry escaped her lips. Tears burned her eyes, and her lower lip trembled. She collapsed on the sofa and sobbed.

Her tears kept falling because of the spasm, and she grabbed her knee, groaning. Keith took her calf and rubbed it some more, and Cathryn felt the pain gradually lessen. Then she looked up and casually wiped her tears from her cheeks. Looking at Keith, she wanted to move, but Keith stopped her.
