Chapter 67 - Sixty-seven : What Is Wrong With Niklaus (2/2)

I was so lightheaded that I didn't have any strength left in my legs which wasn't surprising when I staggered and almost fell if Nik had not being there to grasp me tightly

I tried to think but I was emotionally drained - what would I even think anyway? His kiss had left me short of words except one : What is wrong with Nik ?

” Are you OK? ” He asked with the softest expression ever while his arms came around my waist.

I stared at him in a daze . No way , who is this man?

I screamed bloody murder when he suddenly scoop me up in his arms saying ” This won't do, you need to rest. You look so confused right now ”

I almost retorted ” Of course why wouldn't I be confused when you're acting this strangely and totally not Nik-like ” but decided to keep my mouth shut.

”Put me down this instant ! ” I ordered ”You're a sick patient, you shouldn't be stressing yourself but getting enough rest! ”

But he gave me a look that made me look stupid ” Aren't you a patient either? ” he challenged.

I rolled my eyes ” My case is different -”

” How different ? ” He raised a brow still carrying me to God knows where.

”I'm all better now but you ” I pointed at his chest ” You were sweating profusely last night because you had a high fever. Do you know how difficult it was feeding you the drug , I had to put the medicine in my mouth and kiss it..... ”

I faltered at once when I realized I was treading into dangerous territory. Even Nik stopped dead in his tracks, he looked down at me with a burning gaze causing me to blush uncontrollably.

His lips curled up ” So that wasn't a dream? ” he thought aloud.

I glower at him ” Oi, how can it be a dream?! Do you know how much I suffered just carrying you to my room?! O my poor waist ! ” I exaggerated on purpose.

Then I looked around and noticed he was climbing the stairs and that was when I realized he was taking me to his room. I began to squirm in his arms like a fish out of water but a single warning gaze from him shut me up.

Immediately we got to his room, Nik wasn't gentle at all but threw me on the bed as I sank into its softness . But there was no time to savour the sensation cause danger was around the corner.

I crawled backwardly into the bed as he started towards me with this gleam in his eyes. Without notice, I tried to roll out of bed but he was quick and smart. Nik grabbed my hands and pushed me back on the bed, cutting any form of escape.

I gulped ” What are you doing? ”

A smirk appeared on his face ” You said you hurt your waist while carrying me last night, so I'm thinking of massaging it ”

My eyes at once widened to the size of saucers ” w-what ” I choked ” M-massage what.. who said I needed a massage ” came my sputtering .

”Oi, how can it be a dream?! Do you know how much I suffered just carrying you to my room?! O my poor waist! ” mimicked Nik, as he perfectly copied my actions moments ago.

I stared at him dumbfounded, what's gotten into this guy today. I tried to sit-up in order to launch my own argument but he pushed me back onto my back.

My head jerked up exasperated, only to meet his mischievous face as he said,

”Shall we begin the massage then, my tigress ? ”
