Chapter 190
Cassie
I had to come up with an excuse not to join breakfast this morning. I already skipped dinner the previous night and I still wasn’t ready to face knight.
The tension that sparked between us was incredible. I had a sleepless night because I kept reminiscing what transpired between us.
What was that bold step he took? Why did he do that to me? Did he realize just how much hope he had given me with that act?
I turned in bed feeling my head ache from the constant thinking.
It didn’t make any sense for Knight to simply tease me. Drunk or not he remembered our kiss and even admitted to enjoying it.
I let out a frustrated sigh jumping out of my bed as thoughts kept bugging my mind.
Just ask him if he likes you and stop frustrating us! I yelled at myself as I paced about the room.
Knowing Knight, he wasn’t the type to play around. I knew he rejected me in the past but now he was saying something different and if I dared to believe. He was trying to tell me that my feelings for him were being reciprocated.
I felt a surge of excitement within me thinking of the possibility. It would be a dream come true and I don’t think I’d ever ask for much in life if Knight was mine.
Call me obsessed, I simply didn’t care. That’s how much I desired him and I wished he desired me as much.
I startled suddenly as a knock landed on my door. My heart thudded loudly and I needed to subdue the blush that dominated my face at the thought of Knight.
I suspected it was Florentine at my door because she had offered to get my food since I missed breakfast.
I palmed my cheek desperately hoping to return my face to a normal countenance.
“Who’s there?” I asked while looking at myself in the mirror to make sure I appeared normal. It was silent out there before a second knock came.
Florentine must have been pissed at me for asking who it was when I knew for a fact that it was her.
“Hold on a bit.” I said and hurried towards the door.
I pulled the handle opening my door, my eyes fell on the tray of food before me and I was about beaming a smile to Florentine to thank her for the food when I sighted rather manly looking hands that held the tray.
My gaze quickly shifted to see the face of whoever had that hand even though the frantic beating of my heart told me what needed to know
How could I forget those tough and wide hands with bulging biceps. I literally fantasized about being grabbed by this same hand. Having it undo my dress and touch me in places where I was sensitive and desperate for a touch.
Knight….
I whispered his name in my mind.
His hair looked wet and curly which he let fall to his shoulder, he wore a black shirt and singlet that exposed all his manliness.
With wide spread eyes, I instinctively tried to close the door against him. Having him stand there with that dark gaze was too much for me to handle. My heart was beating like it was going to explode and I needed to be away from him if I wanted to survive.
He held the door from closing and pushed it open making me to startle back into my room. I felt intense chills course throughout my body. My breath hitched and I stood frozen for some seconds. I needed to be on the offensive to get him out of my room.
“What are you doing? You can’t just barge into my room like that?” Where’s Florentine!” I yelled but instead he looked at me with a pleased expression which got me nervous and confused.
He dropped the tray of food on my table and crossed his arms over his chest. I froze for a moment and let my eyes scan his body.
I was enchanted all over again. I gulped hard and tore my gaze away from his body,
It was difficult not to ogle at him.
“Why are you here instead of Florentine?” I said with my voice a little shaky. Knight tilted his head, watching me intently and I felt goosebumps on my skin with the way he studied me. I hate that I looked so vulnerable right now, I couldn’t hide how nervous he was making me feel. He took two steps closer and I refused to move another foot.
I mustered the courage to look into his curious eyes but he was eating me up with it.
He took details of my face, eyes boring into mine, trailing down my lips like he were hungry for a taste and it made me gulp at the thought of our lips locked again. He parted his lips then spoke.
“Instead of that, tell me, why are you avoiding me Cassie?”
I gasped and gulped a lump, the answer embarrassed me already and his mere presence overwhelmed me but I had to hold my shit together before he thought I was desperate for him.
I sneered at him and folded my hands across my chest pushing my breast forward. His eyes flicked down and his pupils dilated at the sight of my pushed up breast so I quickly released them. .
My eyes instinctively moved below his abdomen and my gosh! He had a an erection and I dripped instantly in my pant.
I needed someone to save me from him at this point.
I quickly averted my gaze only to catch him watching me. Fuck it! He knew I was staring down at his bulge, I only hoped he didn’t notice the longing in my eyes for them.
“Who said I was avoiding you?” I played hard and his eyes went down on my lips again. Why couldn’t he just take his eyes off it? I bit down on my lips feeling nervous while his throat moved as he gulped down fluid.
I took two steps away from me and he passed me a dissaproving glare which in turn looked hot as fuck!
“You’re not? He asked covering up the distance again and leaving me breathless. “You missed dinner Cassie and breakfast. Why?”
He pressed further for answers and I tried not to look at him because I was vulnerable and he would see through my lies.
“If Florentine let you bring my food then you must know why.”
“She did mention.” His voice came out low yet deep. I felt embarrassed all of a sudden. This wasn’t something I hid from him or anyone but more of the fact that he used to take care of me in this situation.
It was a lie but I knew he’d offer to stay with me.
“Then just leave already I just want to rest.”
“I came to stay.” He countered and I hissed inwardly.
“I don’t need you here.” I said causing a scowl to appear in his face.
“Fine by me.” I squinted at him displeased with how easily he was giving up.
“So you’re going to leave?”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Yes.” He answered and rubbed his jaw with his fingers while giving me the most seductive look ever. A shiver ran through me and I felt the hair on my skin standing.
“Then go.” I whispered yet deep down I wanted him to stay as much as I wanted him to go. I was so fucking messed up.
“I will… After I finish what I started.”
I snapped my head up to look at him wondering why that sounded like a threat.
“What did you….” I gasped suddenly and my eyes widened in shock. Was he talking about finishing up the kiss!
Good heavens! Somebody save me from this Man. He looked amused then he took intimidating steps towards me brushing his manly chest against my breast slightly.
Sexual heat coursed through me and I was breathing fast right now.
“Knight what are you doing?” I whispered in a haste moving back till I got bridged by my bed.
He stopped and watched me instead so I tried to move away from my bed but tripped and fell over it. He chuckled briefly brushing his thumb against his pink and plump lips.
I held myself up with both my elbows resting on the bed. I had a short gown on so my thighs were partly on display for him to feed his eyes.
I contemplated shoving my dress down but anything I did now would catch his attention but my resolution soon became a regret as I watched his eyes savour the sight of my thighs.
He swept his fingers over his hair and his eyes narrowed with a hunger I recognized and it was because of me.
That alone scared me.
He watched me in such a way that I felt like a prey under his scrutiny. I tried to move up my bed to escape him but he set a knee on my bed and the muscles of his arms tightened putting me in awe of his physique.
He was a true definition of manliness.
“Knight… You’re scaring me.” I said crawling back but I felt his hand on my leg stopping me from moving further.
“I swear I’ll scream if you don’t stop.” My words came out in a shiver.
He didn’t seem fazed but instead his lips curled into a sexy smile then his eyes to bore into mine once again.
He was doing all sort of things to me with that stare. He climbed the bed and crawled in between my leg. One leg in and one leg out.
His figure hovered over me covering me with his wideness and his strong arms caged me on both sides yet I couldn’t do what I promised.
To scream….
“Don’t worry princess, you know I won’t hurt you. I just need you to answer my questions honestly.”
He whispered hoarsely while I kept breathing heavily under him. I really couldn’t take all this tension between us.
“Why do you have to stay in such position then? I asked nervously and his throat moved again as he gulped down fluid while looking at my lips.
“… Because it requires this position.”
