Chapter Thirty-five : The successors (1/2)

Maya's Pov

I definitely knew whom those eyes belongs to, mischevious burning amber eyes.

Izzy

I felt goosebumps all over,  what's her plans this time with the camera? But no matter how hard I thought , I couldn't come up with an adequate reason so I became uneasy.

”Nik” I called out but the guy didn't give me his attention, instead he boldly slipped his hand into my shirt, lifted it up and started trailing feather kisses down my stomach

I became exasperated when this guy continued his thrilling journey so I pushed against his chest - with no success

”Seriously Niklaus cut it out ”I chided, emphasizing on his full name but he pretended not to hear my order and I had to resist the urge to moan cause it'll give him the liberty to continue his act further.

”Nik! ”

”Hmmm?” he hummed absentmindedly . He didn't even give his ear to me for a moment until I snapped .

I didn't know how my hands curled into fist nor when it moved, only I saw my hands raise and next, I floored him with a suckerpunch which totally knocked him out.

I know I took self defense class in the past but I never thought my skills reliable and efficient until now.

”Oof!” I let out air when his heavy body slumped on mine.Even during our passionate make out I never considered him heavy until  now.

I flipped him aside gasping with the effort but releasing a sigh of relief I was finally free. I slowly bent and placed my ear on his chest trying to make out his heartbeat incase I had unknowingly killed him.

His heartbeat was steady but just to make sure , I checked out his pulse which thankfully was ok too.

He was just having a little nap.

I dragged out a heavy breath but my gaze shifted back to the handsome man sleeping innocently on my bed.

I leaned further to discover dark circles around his eyes making me frown, has he not being getting proper sleep the past few days?

Maybe me knocking him out was a good thing after all?

I checked myself out on the mirror making sure to arrange my ruffled clothes and tousled hair till I was good as new.

I had barely stepped into the living room before everyone threw questionable gazes on me well save Izzy, who knew what happened already and Eden who was nowhere to be found

”What? ” I blurted out when the inquisitive gaze became too much

”What have you being doing upstairs?” Emily asked suspiciously, her gaze nearly burning me.

”A-attending to your bossy brother whom by the way is sleeping on my bed for the record ”

I responded without thinking and with a frown, noticed how ambiguous my words sounded.

”Really? ” She asked, her eyes lit up with surprise ”How did you get him to sleep, Nik is very cautious on where he places his head on ..... ” Emily trailed off as her sight landed on my neck and she let out a confusing  ”oh? ”

I was surprised at her change in demeanor until a bell rang in my head and I realised everything at once.

Hickeys

I facepalm mentally, Nik you bastard !

I blushed scarlet red embarrassed to the core, it wasn't enough Izzy caught us in the act now he purposely put hickeys on my neck to advertise to everyone we were doing adult stuffs in my bedroom

”Where's Eden ” I suddenly asked trying to divert her attention and saving myself from this embarrassing situation .

”Ah!” She exclaimed as if remembering something important ”Something came up at work so he had to Leave”

I nodded in acknowledgement admiring his passionate and hardworking nature, unlike a certain person who claims to be busy but in reality was lazing around on my bed.

Thankfully Emily had a one track mind, soon enough she forgot all about Nik nor did she notice I had purposely diverted her attention.

”Breakfast is ready” Emily announced snapping me out of my thoughts

I turned to her saying softly ”I'll help set up the table ”

”No ” She replied startling me

”Excuse me? ”

”We've imposed on you a lot , so we'll handle this little chore all by ourselves ”
