Chapter 113 - How does that work?
Maybe Mia forgot how Leo usually moved about in his sleep but Leo didn't forget.
She stirred awake first when she felt his movements with his body pressing into hers..
The lights were out and they were in complete darkness but it took her a few seconds to realise what was going on and where she was.
She was in Leo's room and on his bed and he was cuddling her under the duvet!
She knew it was his room because even though it was dark, she could tell it wasn't her bed and even the way the room smelled was different from hers. The room smelled like him. It was really nice and refreshing.
Her head pounded fiercely but she tried not to make any sound. What was she supposed to do? How did she even end up in here?
Immediately, flashes from the night began to come back to her. She first remembered the dance, the kiss, the argument but that was as far as she could remember.
'We didn't by chance....' Her eyes widened in the dark room as she tried to rack her brain to be sure she hadn't slept with him.
She touched her hip and sighed when she found her clothes were still intact.
Now the question remained the same, how was she going to move away from him when he was holding her like this?
She didn't even know what the time was but it was still raining outside but less heavily than it was before. She could hear the raindrops.
She felt his hot breath on her forehead and immediately had goosebumps.
She wanted to move. She swore she wanted to. But at the same time, she didn't want to leave.
His hand was still around her waist holding her tightly while the other one was lying close to her head.
She bit her lips down and her heart began to race wildly as she thought about draping her hand around his waist also.
It was an harmless gesture right? She was just going to put her hand there and go back to sleep.
She placed her hand around his waist and snuggled closer while trying to convince herself that she wasn't doing anything wrong.
She closed her eyes and tried to sleep but sleep didn't come. Her head was still pounding but she didn't even want to leave the bed to go swallow some medicine to help her head ache less.
She was slightly cold and liked the warmth their bodies produced under the duvet.
Her hand began to slowly move up from his waist to touch his arm which was around her waist.
He had nice arms. It was so firm that she just couldn't stop touching it.
Something screamed in her head for her to stop it but she couldn't. She just kept feeling his arm until she moved it away from there and acsended to his hair.
She tried to be gentle about it so she wouldn't wake him up. She didn't want him to wake up and see her as a pervert. She just wanted to have her fill and sleep off without him ever finding out.
She gently touched his hair and she suddenly remembered touching it just a few hours ago.
It was soft and sleek and she was jealous. She was jealous of him.
She wondered whether there was anything he ever lacked. He was just too perfect!
She sighed deeply and pulled her hand away.
"Are you done?" He asked her in a quiet voice and she couldn't help the gasp that left her lips.
"You... you are awake?" She stammered in embarrassment. He had caught her after all.
She felt him move his other hand and before she knew it, a dim light lit up the room.
He just stared into her eyes quietly without saying another word while hers continued to look at his with shock.
When she could no longer maintain the eye contact, she shut her eyes immediately and pretended to sleep.
Leo smirked as he watched her face. He didn't even bother to move his hand away from her waist.
"You must really like my hair a lot." He said to her before moving his hand away from her waist to touch her own hair.
He tucked some strands behind her ear and began to play with some locks with his fingers.
She sucked in breath but kept her eyes shut and her lips tight.
"Why are you pretending to be asleep?" He asked her before asking another question.
"How do you feel?" He asked and returned his hand to her waist.
"I don't feel anyway. Stop saying nonsense." She snapped at him before opening her eyes to see the amused look he was giving her.
"I was asking about your head. Doesn't it ache? You are up really early. Were you uncomfortable?" He asked.
He had woken up the moment he felt her stir awake and had been waiting for her to lash at him since she was already sober but to his surprise, she did nothing. Or rather... she did something and started to feel up his body and hair which surprised him..
He just let her continue without interrupting, remembering how she drunkenly confessed that she liked his hair and had always wanted to touch it.
"Uhmm... my head aches a bit." She confessed in embarrassment. She couldn't believe she had sounded that way when he was talking about something entirely different.
"Do you feel any other way?" He asked her with an amused glint in his eyes as he waited for her to answer.
"I don't." She said with a blush before closing her eyes.
He suddenly pulled her closer and placed his lips very close to her earlobes.
"Do you want to know how I feel?" He asked in a whisper.
She didn't need him to tell her. She could feel something already poking her thigh and she knew what it was making her swallow really hard.
Leo didn't make any move on her. He pulled away from her and lay his head on the pillow while still holding her tightly to himself.
"Loosen up, Mia Lucas. I won't try anything without your permission." He said to her as he looked into her confused eyes.
His other hand had disappeared under the duvet in between them and was trying to keep his erection from touching her.
"How does it work?" She suddenly asked after a while.
"How does what work?" He asked and watched her face turn bright red.
"That.. down there. Is it going to go away if you leave it or you have to do something to make it go away?" She asked curiously.
He laughed before closing his eyes. "Do not ask me such embarrassing questions, Mia Lucas."
"I was just being curious." She said defensively.
"Okay, I am going to answer yours if you agree to answer mine." He negotiated.
"I'm listening."
"Why haven't you ever had s.e.x? Is it because you have never had a boyfriend or because you just didn't want to?" He asked curiously.
If he thought it was impossible for someone's face to look like a tomato, he just realised it was really possible because her face was burning red.
"I..." She paused before breaking eye contact.
"I don't know." She said with her eyes on his chest.
"I've been so busy with school work and part time jobs to think about having... that... I guess.."
He nodded in understanding before saying.. "Well, I think it's a good thing. But you have to be careful. Most men like to take advantage of innocent girls like you."
"Why?" She asked curiously.
"Because they love the idea that they are going to be the first to touch you and bring you pleasure so they want it at all cost." He explained.
She swallowed nervously before asking... "Are you... like that?"
"You mean?"
"Do you think about taking advantage of me because I haven't done it before?" She asked in a really low voice..
He quietly looked at her for a few seconds before shaking his head.
"Remember I told you I was s.e.x.u.a.lly attracted to you? I don't think it would have made any difference even if you weren't... you know.. that.." He answered honestly as he looked into her eyes which were staring right back at his.
He wanted to kiss her lips so badly and he felt he was gradually losing the battle to hold himself back.
It was funny how she could seduce him without even doing a thing.
"You haven't answered my question." She said, interrupting his thoughts.
"Well... there is nothing much there. If I don't put my mind to it, it just goes away." He answered with a shrug.
"Ooohhhh" She said nodding slowly like she understood what he just said.
"Uhm... I wanted to tell you earlier that... I don't think I would be moving out anytime soon. If... you don't mind?" She asked not knowing how he would react.
"Really?" He looked at her hopefully. "You are really not moving?" He asked.
"For now, well, yes... I currently have a lot at hand and—"
"It's fine. You can stay for as long as you like." He quickly interrupted while trying not to sound really desperate.
"Really?"
"Yea. Really." He said with a small smile.
"Oh.. and I wanted to tell you that I would really appreciate your help with the... loan.. if you don't mind?"
She said with an embarrassed blush.
"And I don't also mind Mia Lucas." He said with a bigger smile this time.
Seeing him smile so beautifully, she smiled back at him.
"Now let's get you some aspirin for your headache." He said before standing up from the bed.
