Page 101 of My Sweetest Obsession
I had given in, surrendered my body and soul to the devil himself. I was caught off guard by the gentle warmth of his touch and the softness of his kisses against my skin. The way his lips brushed against my scars somehow brought me peace. It settled something deep inside my heart as if it recognized that I could place my trust in him once again.
And if that wasn’t enough, I sucked the blood from his finger like a freaking vampire. It should’ve repelled me, but instead, it turned me on. What the hell was wrong with me?
The bathroom door swung open, releasing a cloud of steam that followed Nico. He strolled out of the bathroom half naked, a black towel casually draped around his hips. His tan, bare chest covered in tattoos and the bandage around his arm instantly drew my gaze.
“Good morning,” he rumbled, his deep voice sending a tingling sensation throughout my body. I could practically taste the caramel sweetness of his skin, and craved the chance to savor every inch of him.
My eyes snapped up to meet his, only to find him smirking, clearly catching me ogling. I curled my knees up to my chest, resting my chin on my hand.
He didn’t seem to mind that my eyes tracked his every move. Nico had always been a beautiful, sexy man, and I could never get enough of him, even though I struggled with the desire when we first got together. I wasn’t sure if it was my fear of becoming dependent on him or if I loved the way he exerted control over me. His possessiveness was intoxicating. What did that say about me? But I couldn’t help it. The man had a way of commanding every room he walked into.
“How did you sleep?” he asked while dropping his towel. He grabbed a pair of briefs and slid them on.
“Fine,” I lied.
A small chuckle escaped his lips. “I would hope so since I fucked you into a coma.”
I rolled my eyes.
He walked over to the closet and was inside for a few minutes. When he returned, he was dressed in a pair of dark gray slacks and a long sleeve red shirt, rolling the sleeves up to his elbows.
“Do you feel like coming down for breakfast?” he asked.
I shook my head.
“Okay. I’ll bring you something to eat.”
“No, thank you.” I didn’t know if I was angry at him for betraying me or at myself for sleeping with him. I blamed my vagina. The bitch was too needy.
His jaw twitched as he watched me. I knew it would only piss him off when I didn’t do everything he said. Well, those daysof going along with his orders were over with. I just needed to convince Tabi to leave with me.
I quickly jumped off the bed and walked toward the bathroom.
“Gigi,” Nico sighed, but I walked past him and slammed the door.
Iwatched her walk away from me.
Her hate toward me felt like a bullet lodged in my heart, dulling each beat. I could feel myself fading away from her resentment. To convince her to trust me with her heart once again, I’d have to find a way to break through the barriers she’d built against me. Otherwise, I’d lose her for good, and that scared the hell out of me.
The thought of her not being by my side was unbearable. And that was something I could not allow to happen.
I wouldn’t.
As I stood under the shower this morning, I was reluctant to wash away the evidence of last night. I wanted her scent to linger in my senses as a reminder of how we could both lose control and become completely lost in one another.
I always believed myself to be invincible. Yet, ever since my little mischievous angel flew down from the heavens, she had wielded power over me that not only stirred the fierce beastwithin me, awakening a strength I didn’t know I had, but also unshackled the chains from my inner demons, leaving me exposed and vulnerable.
With a deep sigh, I left her alone to give her space. I had to remember that if I wanted her to give me a second chance, I needed to play this her way. I wondered if her defenses were beginning to break down after what happened last night. The moment I caught her staring at me brought me back to when she first saw me naked. I loved how her greedy little eyes couldn’t stop taking me in. She was turned on, which only spurredmeon. Despite it being the best sex I’d ever experienced in my life and with her, the intensity of our connection scared the shit out of me.
With a deep sigh, I stepped out of the room, and Demon seized the opportunity to dart past me, settling himself at the bathroom door.
“Keep an eye on her, buddy.” I stroked the area behind his ears, and he let out a huff. He was probably pissed off at me too.
I jogged down the steps and heard voices coming from the kitchen.
Gloria was busy making breakfast at the stove and Tabi set a plate of bacon on the bar. Tristan and Aurelio sat side by side, stuffing their faces with pancakes, while Mya and Emillia chatted.
“Morning,” I greeted, and every pair of eyes in the room swung toward me.
