Addison Warmth . That was the first time that registered in my brain as I began to wake up . Warmth all around me , and a very good scent wafting into my nose . I took in a deep breath , and my chest expanded with more warmth , making me burrow closer to the source of that scent , and that's when I realized that I was against something hard . I slowly blinked my eyes open , and that's when I realized that I was in a pair of arms , and that my was pressed firmly against a neck . face I let out a startled sound as I reared back , and in the next moment , my eyes met with Zane's lazy ones . My heart instantly flew into my throat , and my heartbeat accelerated at once . His arms were still wrapped around me , and a grin was tugging at the side of his lips as he regarded me . Did I cuddle with him throughout the night ? How did we get into this position ? I was confused as hell and trying to figure out this present situation , but in the next second , he was leaning forward , till only a little distance remained between our faces . Him being this close to me right now , made memories from last night and to foood my kind at once , memories of him holding me against the wall and fucking me hard . " Good morning , bunny . " He husked out in a low voice , and something cleaned tightly in my stomach as a shiver slither down my spine . I blushed all the way to my roots , my face feeling like it was on fire , and I pointedly glanced away from his face , while trying to regulate my pounding heart . " That ridiculous nickname . " I grumbled , but my voice sounded weak and breathless to my own ears . " Is it really ridiculous ? " He hummed as his eyes ghosted over my face again , and it felt like I couldn't breathe . " Yeah . " I stuttered out , fully aware of the way his hands were digging into the skin of my waist , his palms burning through my shirt / " I beg to defer . It fits you perfectly . " He crooned , seeking completely unfazed by our close proximity , while it felt like my own body got set on fire from the moment I woke up . I needed to get out of this bed at once . I was still lost as to how I got into this position , and why he 1/5 Chapter 21 wasn't pushing me away . As a certified playboy , wasn't he supposed to hate cuddles ? As a lover of cuddles , I don't get a lot of opportunities to cuddle . My cuddle bunny was Gregg , but after he got married , I was left with nothing , leaving me cuddle starved . It's probably why I unconsciously rolled into his arms in the middle of the night ? My face grew even redder . Does he think I'm pathetic ? Cause I hated to admit it , but his arms feel so good around me right now , and I really wanna burrow into his chest right now ... Which is exactly why I have to get out of this bed at once , cause that's a very dangerous territory . Before I could ask him to loosen his hold on me , he was tugging me right into his chest and I felt my heart stutter in my chest , my eyes widening and my breath growing labored when he slid a leg between mine , making me super aware of all of him . I was always fully aware of his presence since that night at the club , but presently , I was made more aware , probably because he was hard and the hardness was digging into my stomach , and I could feel myself grow wet right now because of that . " Are you thinking about last night ? " He suddenly asked like he could read my mind and I stiffened , my eyes widened as I struggled for a response . " W - what ? No ! No- of course , not . " After responding , I risked a glance at his face , and he had a brow arched , like he could read right through me , which made me flush . " You sure about that ? " I nodded , then I cleared my throat , fully intended to ask that he let go of me . However , as I prepared to get those words out , he was rolling around till my back was fully on the bed , trapping me up at underneath his hard body . My eyes widened , a gasp catching in my throat as I blinked him . " I was thinking about last night . " He revealed as his hands slid down my arms and captured my wrists , then he was pulling them high above my head and I was gasping again , unable to stop the tremor that coursed through me as a wave of heat stabbed through my insides . " Oh . " I whispered , breathing hard as I stared up at him . When he leaned down and took my lips in a brutal kiss , I gave in instantly . I want to convince myself that I tried to fight it , but I'd be lying to myself that way . I whimpered into the kiss , a choked sound which he swallowed as he bit on my bottom lip before licking into my mouth and completely devouring it . All my senses went up in flames . I was so turned on that I could cry , and with each glide of his tongue . against mine , I fell apart underneath him over and over again again , till it felt like I might go crazy . I 2/5 11:51 Wed , 3 Sept Chapter 21 badly wanted a little pressure on the spot between my legs , but he made no move to provide me relief , which felt like an immense amount of torture . The fact that I couldn't move my hands at all because he had then pinned above my head with a single hand ... that should be terrifying , but instead , it made me grow even wetter , making my blood surge even faster . When he broke the kiss and I gasped for breath , I watched through heavy lidded eyes as he rolled off me , then smoothly slid off the bed , like he hadn't just rendered me boneless with a single kiss . " Up you go . " He announced as he took my hand and tugged me off the bed , a completely relaxed expression across his face , while I was still struggling to catch my breath . I felt embarrassed as hell that I let him kiss me when I was supposed to have reminded him that last night was a one time thing , especially seeing as he didn't even get me off on top of that . What annoyed me even more was how collected he looked right now , when I was anything but . " Go take a shower , bunny . We have a long day ahead . " He announced as he nudged me in the bathroom's direction . I instantly wanted to tell him to never kiss me again , then to ask him what he meant by a long day , but my tongue still felt heavy in my mouth , and my heart was still racing , so I hurried to the bathroom and locked the door behind me . As I showered , my heartbeat finally returned back to normal , and I felt dumb as hell on top of the embarrassment still swimming through my veins . I wasn't supposed to let him kiss me just like that , what was I thinking ? I was in love with his brother , so last night was supposed to be only that , we were supposed to go back to how things used to be between us this morning . Although I had a feeling that was gonna be hard for me to do , since now I know what he was packing in his pants , and I know how good his fingers felt inside me . I let out a shaky breath , forcing those stupid thoughts out of my mind , then reminding myself that on leaving this bathroom , I'll tell him to never kiss or touch me intimately , and that we're to only engage in PDA and nothing more . When I stepped out of the bathroom , my breath caught in my throat at all that was scattered over the bed . A bunch of boxes of clothes , shoes , jewelries and some other things .. " What are these ? " Lasked slowly as I glanced over at Zane who was scrolling through his phone. " Oh , I did a little shopping for you . I just know you'll not have the appropriate clothes for the rest of the stuff lined up before us , so I decided to do this . " As he spoke , I got closer to the bed and looked over the stuff there . All the dresses looked so pretty and the shoes were literally unreal . They were popular brands , and the price tags had my eyes widening in disbelief . I should feel annoyed that he was doing this , it felt almost insulting , but instead , I felt a little giddy , 3/5 11:51 Wed , 3 Sept Chapter 21 and taken care of , even though I was certain I definitely wasn't supposed to be feeling this way at all . " Why do I need these dresses ? " I asked as I glanced up at him to see him watching me , " state making me almost drop the box of perfume I was holding . his shirtless " Cause we're going on a date this morning . " He revealed and again , I almost dropped the box . " A date ? Why ? " I asked , frowning in confusion . Did the couple schedule a date with everyone which I have forgotten ? " Cause , every other couple here has undoubtedly gone on date with just themselves , or they plan to . The point is , no couple would come to a vacation like this and not spend time alone with their date just having fun or exploring the country . " He explained and I slowly nodded . I " Oh ... I guess that makes sense . " 1 muttered . When I picked up one of the dresses and wanted to go change , he arched a brow at me , his lips twitching . " Why don't you change here ? After all , I've seen it all , and well ... you'll need some help with the back of the dress anyway . " He reasoned , but I ignored him , my face on fire and went to the bathroom to slip into the freed that felt as soft as silk against my skin . Just as he said , the ropes at the back still required his help , and I hated that he was right . As I left the bathroom , I promised myself to tell him about the no more kissing or touching rule , which would also include him never bringing up that night again , we'd have to just pretend it never happened . When I stepped in front of him to do up the ropes , I felt his lips glide over my spine , making a gasp spill past my lips as my eyes widened , my heart pounding hard again , and my hands tightening on the front of the dress . " W - what are you doing ? " I whispered as I felt his long fingers glide across my ribs and spine as he leisurely tied up the ropes . " Doing up your dress ." He responded and I let out a shaky exhale , confusion clouding up my brain . I want to tell him that he kissed my spine just now , but I felt tongue tied , and almost like I had imagined that . After he finished with the ropes , le crouched low and helped me into the shoes . I had to hold his broad shoulders as he did the buckles , and his bare skin felt like it was burning my fingers , and at the same time , it was reminding me of how I held on those shoulders when he fucked me last night . When he rose to his full height again , my eyes briefly met with his and feeling ridiculously shy , I ducked my head . 4/5 11:51 Wed , 3 Sept A Chapter 21 49 % & However , when he attempted to put the jewelries on me , I grabbed them from him and insisted on doing them myself , cause having his hands on my skin one more time this morning might make me go crazy .
