Chapter Thirty-eight : Love Is A Bullet To The Heart (1/2)

Nik's Pov

I've never slept peacefully like the night before, even if it was divided between pleasure and rest.

That girl was a little tigress, I can't even remember the number of times I came last night.

We were currently lieing on her bed which truthfully was too small for my long legs and too hard for me - my back was aching.

I wondered how she was able to sleep in this wood called a bed.

Suddenly she shivered and snuggled close to me, delighting in the warmth she drew from my body and sighed contentedly.

Unknown to the sleeping tigress, her legs had unconsciously moved and touched a certain part of my body that was always 24/7 active.

I gritted my teeth and curled my fist, it took me everything to be in control and not lay my hands on her bare body hidden underneath the sheets.

Swallowing hard, I stared down at the tigress who wrapped her hands around my body like an octopus.

Yes, I'm a man of strong character, and unswerving devotion to what I consider the best interests of my family but I was definitely wanting in self-control.

It wasn't a secret to the public that my sexual appetite was the stuffs of legends and it wasn't surprising since I myself had no faith in my self-control; my sexual commitment.

But things were different now.

I don't know what's so special about her but it makes me want to try and become a better person for her.

Everything about her was scrambling my usual logic and now I'm wavering , but I surely know it wasn't love.

The only person I've ever loved was Kay but look where it got me. For people like me - love is a bullet to the heart

I tucked a stray hair behind her ear examining her face, the girl was beautiful - not in a hot and provocative way but definitely charming and pleasing to the eyes, unfortunately she thinks otherwise.

My gaze flickered to her lips and all accumulated self-control decimated completely.

This tigress is going to be the death of me.

Slowly I began to lean in ,excitement playing in the debts of my eyes, hoping to claim that lips when my phone rang and destroyed the moment.

As if a bucket of cold water was poured on me, I retreated and grabbed my cellphone grudgingly.

I sat up slowly and carefully , making sure not not to awake the tigress but she stirred and wrapped her arms around my waist.

God ! She was so touchy. Fine, I sighed. My body is all yours anyway.

After confirming she was sound asleep, I accepted the call.

”What? ” I rasped.

”It's morning ” Came Judy's curt reply

Normally I would've ignored the call but Judy always calls with a reason.

”It's a Sunday ” I emphasized. Sunday was always my free day - a day for partying and f*cking when I'm not burying myself with company work.

”You might need to hear this ” Judy said and my gaze darkened. As ironic as it sounds but Judy is a bringer of bad news.

”Fine ” I sighed ”Keep the engine busy - no, be on standby ” I added when I realized it might take some time to leave this place.

I ended the call. Cautiously tearing myself away from her octopus-like grip, I headed for her bathroom.

Limestone flooring is used throughout the room for an elegant, natural look, but frosty blue smaller tiles are used on the wall to provide a peaceful, water-inspired color palette with a rain - style shower head.
