Chapter Thirty-eight : Love Is A Bullet To The Heart

Nik's Pov

I've never slept peacefully like the night before, even if it was divided between pleasure and rest.

That girl was a little tigress, I can't even remember the number of times I came last night.

We were currently lieing on her bed which truthfully was too small for my long legs and too hard for me - my back was aching.

I wondered how she was able to sleep in this wood called a bed.

Suddenly she shivered and snuggled close to me, delighting in the warmth she drew from my body and sighed contentedly.

Unknown to the sleeping tigress, her legs had unconsciously moved and touched a certain part of my body that was always 24/7 active.

I gritted my teeth and curled my fist, it took me everything to be in control and not lay my hands on her bare body hidden underneath the sheets.

Swallowing hard, I stared down at the tigress who wrapped her hands around my body like an octopus.

Yes, I'm a man of strong character, and unswerving devotion to what I consider the best interests of my family but I was definitely wanting in self-control.

It wasn't a secret to the public that my sexual appetite was the stuffs of legends and it wasn't surprising since I myself had no faith in my self-control; my sexual commitment.

But things were different now.

I don't know what's so special about her but it makes me want to try and become a better person for her.

Everything about her was scrambling my usual logic and now I'm wavering , but I surely know it wasn't love.

The only person I've ever loved was Kay but look where it got me. For people like me - love is a bullet to the heart

I tucked a stray hair behind her ear examining her face, the girl was beautiful - not in a hot and provocative way but definitely charming and pleasing to the eyes, unfortunately she thinks otherwise.

My gaze flickered to her lips and all accumulated self-control decimated completely.

This tigress is going to be the death of me.

Slowly I began to lean in ,excitement playing in the debts of my eyes, hoping to claim that lips when my phone rang and destroyed the moment.

As if a bucket of cold water was poured on me, I retreated and grabbed my cellphone grudgingly.

I sat up slowly and carefully , making sure not not to awake the tigress but she stirred and wrapped her arms around my waist.

God ! She was so touchy. Fine, I sighed. My body is all yours anyway.

After confirming she was sound asleep, I accepted the call.

"What? " I rasped.

"It's morning " Came Judy's curt reply

Normally I would've ignored the call but Judy always calls with a reason.

"It's a Sunday " I emphasized. Sunday was always my free day - a day for partying and f*cking when I'm not burying myself with company work.

"You might need to hear this " Judy said and my gaze darkened. As ironic as it sounds but Judy is a bringer of bad news.

"Fine " I sighed "Keep the engine busy - no, be on standby " I added when I realized it might take some time to leave this place.

I ended the call. Cautiously tearing myself away from her octopus-like grip, I headed for her bathroom.

Limestone flooring is used throughout the room for an elegant, natural look, but frosty blue smaller tiles are used on the wall to provide a peaceful, water-inspired color palette with a rain - style shower head.

But the bathroom was quite small, probably quarter the size of my own washroom.

Nonetheless, I showered and made use of her shampoos and conditioner I thought seem nice to apply on my hair.

When I came out of the bathroom with one of the clean white towel I grabbed from the rack, wrapped round my waist, she was already awake.

"You didn't wake me " She pouted.

"I couldn't afford to disturb you " I said and approached her before reaching out and held her close, my body wetting the polo shirt she was wearing.

She sniffed and her expression shifted "Did you use my shampoo? "

I teased "Why? You don't like it? "

She laughed " You smell girly "

"I don't mind if it means I smell like you " I said and kissed her , a slow, savoury kiss.

Surprisingly, I broke the kiss "I need to leave"

"Why? Today's Sunday, right? " She asked in between another kiss while her hands run through my wet hair.

"I have a business to attend " I whispered, nibbing at her ears.

"Why do you CEO's, work yourself to death?" She asked, obviously annoyed.

" I'm not like other CEOs, I do know how to have a good time and if you're so curious about my type of fun , I will be so happy to indulge you next time " Came my Insinuative comment that made her blush and shiver.

She pushed away from me and I noticed the way she walked with a slight discomfort.Was she sore from last night?

I shook my head, if she couldn't handle the little fun from yesterday , what about our future bedroom activity?

I sighed, it seems I have to train her endurance.

"At least, let me dry your hair. You will catch a cold if you leave like this " She suggested.

I wanted to refute her claim by telling her an ordinary cold was nothing compared to what I've experienced but when I saw the pleading and concerned look on her face, I gave in.

Seriously Nik, what is going on with you? I facepalm mentally. The girl obviously has you wrapped around her finger. Sigh .

Soon enough, I sat on the edge of the bed while she kneeled behind me and plugged the hairdryer into an electrical outlet and began the blowout.

Surprisingly, the girl had salon-level skills judging from the fact she didn't irritate my scalp and the way my hair achieved a smooth and sleek feel. Not to mention, the way her hands glided through my hair almost caused me to succumb to sleep again.

Once through, she applied gel and slicked my hair backward.

"Yeah and finally done ! " She exclaimed and gave me a vintage style handheld mirror to examine her handiwork.

A smile curled up my lips

"You're a natural pro " I complimented her wholeheartedly

"No, that's nothing " She waved, smiling timidly "Back in highschool, I was involved with a drama club and learnt a thing or two from the makeup crew "

"OK, you're good to go " She said and patted me on my back as she climbed off the bed.

Yeah, good to go except the towel was still wrapped securely around my waist. Suddenly, an evil smile found itself on my face.

"You should be ....." Maya was halfway through her words when I suddenly stood and let my towel drop to the ground.

" Ahh!!!!!!! "
