Chapter 92 - You Done Staring At Me? (1/2)

The day went by and the next arrived. It was almost midnight as Stella laid in Adam's hed, snuggling against his pillow. They didn't talk even once after their video call. She was worried about his whereabouts, but she understood that he might be busy. She tried to keep her mind at ease but couldn't no matter how much she tried. Her eyes were set on the wall clock as she was lost in her thoughts.

Her eyelids slowly became heavy with the clock's ticking and she fell asleep eventually.

Around 2 a.m someone entered the room with quiet steps. Wearing a black suit with a white button-down shirt and matching shoes he headed towards the bed. The suit had creases all over it as if he had slept in it, which was actually what happened.

His gaze fell down on his beasty who was sleeping soundly hugging his pillow tightly and tucked under the duvet, looking like a harmless kitten. His eyes turned gentle, brimming with tenderness and care for his little elf.

He had missed her so much that he couldn't describe it in words. He had finished all of his work as early as he could, leaving the rest to his team there. His work could have taken one more day to finish. But he wanted to rush back to her, especially after what he had told her that day.

He felt bad for not talking to her during this time, but he knew he wouldn't be able to work if did and his stay there could have been extended, which was something he didn't want to.

He had just entered the mansion when the old butler had told him that she is in his room and had been sleeping in there since he had left. Knowing it had brought a smile on his face.

Pressing a soft kiss on her forehead, he headed towards the bathroom to freshen up.

After a quick shower he changed into a black trousers and got inside the covers. He moved closer to her slowly as if not to disturb her sleep. He wrapped an arm around her narrow waist. As if sensing him, Stella turned around and snuggled against his exposed chest.

Adam chuckled softly at her actions. Her one arm draped over his muscular abdomen while the other one rested by her side.

”Looks like you are drawn to me even in your sleep babygirl.” He muttered under his breath. Pressing a lingering kiss on the crown of her head as he wrapped both of his arms around her back carefully.
