21 Acting Pervy

21

Naomi had barely taken two steps to the door when she felt his arms wound round her waist, blocking every single air from entering her body. Blood rushed to her face and ears. Her face could be mistaken for a tomatoe and in less than seconds, she felt his 'phone' poking her down there; which felt really uncomfortable.

Why was he putting his phone that way?

Aside the phone…what was he doing? She …she felt like all the air in her lungs were being pushed out to her chest and getting stuck there.

At least that's how she felt. Breathless.

His hot breath against the curve of her neck drove her crazy much to the point that she unknowingly released a shaky breath, grabbing onto his arm to support her sagging body, her head slightly thrown back against his, her cheek against his jawline which was bent as he buried his nose in her hair.

"D…Daniel". She whispered in a hushed voice, her lips quivering in shock and horror at what they were doing.

She pulled away and turned to lock eyes with him.

"What do you want ?!".

Daniel fell speechless at the angry tears pooling in her eyes.

"What do ..you mean..".

She narrowed her eyes at him. Why was he always so close to her. He was getting too clingy to her discomfort.

Perhaps 𝐬𝐡𝐞 was overthinking everything. Why would he be in the slightest, interested in someone like her.

Focus Naomi!!!

"I just think….". Daniel stuttered; tearing through the awkward silence in a hushed whisper. "We can …tell my aunt we're home…tomorrow..and just spend the night without waking her up or if you insist, you can tell her we decided to crash at a hotel or something".

"Why would I tell her that. I…I can't lie". Saying those words, she felt tongue-tied at once. Her inner-conscience scoffed at her.

Yeah right? Like she wasn't keeping her identity a secret from him, letting him live a life of believing a lie that she was actually dead. She just hoped he'd never figure out who she was. He would never forgive her.

"Trust me. It's better we Inform her tomorrow morning. She might cause a ruckus this evening and attract the guests". He explained further.

She cast her upturned crystal blue eyes to the ground; making a decision. She was so oblivious to the fact that his gaze was suddenly drawn to her face, lust purely dancing in his eyes. It was night and they were alone in the kitchen, in the dark. The boiling passion which he tried to suppress earlier began rising up again.

To stop himself from a misjudged move, he stepped back, away from her. Something he had never done in his life. Restraining himself.

What the hell was this 'masked' woman doing to him.

"Okay". She finally said, not bothering to look up, only raising her orbs to meet his. "But you can't stay here".

"I can't leave the room either. I'm sure she's on my floor for some reason. You have to let me sleep here".

"I've been in my mask throughout the day and I'm getting uncomfortable in them..I …".

"That's your problem. I, on the other hand don't have a problem with you removing that stupid thing on your face". He scoffed at her, cutting her off while she glared at him.

She fisted her arms at her sides, her knuckles turning white, lips pursed to a thin line as she watched him stroll into her room, hands in pockets, back, large and broad.

"It's not stupid".

"It is if you don't have a valid, reasonable reason for putting it on". He pointed out.

She chose to ignore him at that moment. She moved with a brisk air about her as she began grabbing things off her bed to the ground.

Interest dancing like stars in his eyes, he watched her in amusement, leaning against the bed headboard.

She seemed to be making some sort of substitute bed on the ground. She took a fresh clean sheet from the wardrobe and sprayed it on the ground along with a pillow from her bed.

Taking a shower was the last thing that crossed her mind. Not when Daniel was in the same room she was in. He was acting a bit pervy all night.

Bundling her hair up in a messy bun, she adjusted the mask over her face before turning to the amused young Alpha seated at the edge of the bed, his eyes not leaving her the entire time.

"I guess this is goodnight?". Without waiting for a reply, she turned over and fell asleep.

Okay..she didn't fall asleep almost immediately. Her eyes was open the entire time, her ears alert, listening to every little sound that occured in her room.

She was facing the other way but Daniel could definitely tell she was still awake. However, he smirked and went ahead to take a shower, the sound of her fast heartbeat, a melody in his ears.

She finally turned when the bathroom closed and the shower was running after a while. Her eyes darted to and fro, pupils dilating when she saw his clothes placed in a heap along with underwear close to the bathroom door.

She turned back, placing her head on her pillow, hugging her cold shoulders while running her palms over her arms, teeth chattering. The air coming from the atmosphere outside was chilly. There was just one blanket existing in her room but unfortunately she had to sacrifice her body to the unbearable cold for Mr. Narcissistic.

She was planning on waiting for him till he was done and had slept off but the goddess of sleep visited and in a second, she was fast asleep just as he walked out the bathroom, a towel slung around his neck, another one wrapped around his waist.

He sighed as he sniffed the towel, letting the scent of her wash over his system flushing out the negative energy of today. He couldn't imagine how crazy he had become of her scent already.

He smiled at the small frame lying, back-faced to the bed, while rubbing her feet against each other.

Her heartbeat was slow and steady; which meant she was fast asleep.

He wore his shirt and after rummaging through her closet, he found one of her joggers which he fit into perfectly.

Feeling refreshed from the cool shower, he grabbed his pillow and a blanket from the bed and didn't hesitate to join her on the floor.

He would have opted to carry her to bed but he might wake her up. It was wiser to just join her on the ground.

When he had set his pillow next to hers, he knelt over her small frame, careful not to touch her as he spread the blanket over her body, tucking her in all the way to her chin.

A sigh suddenly escaped her lips and she grabbed a handful of the blanket, pulling it closer; around her chin. She really was cold after all.

He couldn't move and just stayed over her frame, grinning at her profile.

"So stubbornly stupid yet so cute. I want to punish you but at the scent time I want to make you orgasm for me". He murmured, reaching out to tuck her hair behind her ear.

His gaze landed on her mask.

"Now's your chance. Find out who your true mate is. This is the chance you've been waiting for so don't throw it out the window". Kelvin hurriedly said in his head.

"I can't".

"What? What do you mean you can't".

The girl moved under him and sighed again, deep asleep.

"Common Kelvin. She actually agreed to share a room with him. She obviously knew something like this might happen. Yet she let me still. Don't you think she's willing to trust me".

"But she's just right there. Don't you want to take a peek".

"You don't know how badly I want to". He suddenly reached out and caressed the side of her face, the material of the mask, cold against his fingertips. "But I'll let her reveal herself to me when she's ready.. ".

Kelvin sighed.

"Can't we just agree on one thing for once in your life!!".

Daniel smirked and rolled off the girl, falling in place beside her.

"Well we're going to spend the night cuddling with our mate. That's something we're agreeing to".

He could almost imagine Kelvin doing flips in his head just at the thought.

Daniel snuggled in the same blanket, well aware their legs were touching underneath. Gosh!!! She was so soft. He inhaled her divine scent as he wounded his arm around her waist.

Suddenly half-asleep and still feeling a bit cold, Naomi sensed a warm unfamiliar heat coming from behind. It suddenly felt like glaciers being stuck to her body from the cold was slowly melting. She pouted when she couldn't quite feel the heat as intensely as she wanted.

Without an Invitation, she suddenly turned to the source of heat and snuggled closer to him.

Daniel's heart flipped once. Twice. Thrice. It began summersaulting in its ribcage, threatening to burst out at the sight of the small looking woman snuggling close to his chest, his arm, her new pillow.

Her arm was thrown across his chest as she slept soundlessly, muttering meaningless voice.

"Cute". He mummured, turning over to grab her waist. For a while he stilled, not sure if he should.

He sneaked up and left several short pecks on her forehead before closing his eyes and wrapping his arms round her waist.
