Chapter 703 - Seven Hundred And Three: Be Comfortable In The Lions Den (2/2)

It was an innocent act. Ailee didn't mean to paint the wrong picture, however, when her eyes connected with his eyes, her hand froze and she forgot to breathe.

The passion in that blue eyes of his made her gulp and her body shiver with an unexplainable emotion. What the hell was wrong with her?

”Hey!” Ailee suddenly shoved his face away, ”Be responsible for once! Do I have to always take care of you?!” She scolded him which took Neon by surprise. He almost thought that for a moment that there was a connection between them. Damn that connection!

Ailee went back to lying down on the bed yet her heart was in great turmoil. What the hell just happened out there? Also, why was that boy's lips incredibly soft? Gosh, this was driving her crazy. At this rate, she might have to go see a therapist soon.

What the hell was wrong with her?! Ailee wanted to kick and thrash around on the bed, however, she couldn't do it with Neon around. So she just sighed and closed her eyes.

Neon was thankful she didn't try anything else because he didn't know how much longer he could hold himself back. So he enjoyed the silence she gave him and finished the rest of his food.

”I'm done….” He trailed off when he found Ailee sleeping peacefully on his bed.

Neon put the tray on the floor and got in bed with Ailee. With his head propped up, he stared at the girl sleeping without a care.

”How could you be so comfortable in the lion's den?” Neon murmured, his hand reaching out to caress her face.

The scene reminded him of that time when they were young and he would sneak into her bed at night. He chuckled at the memory, those were good times.

Now, he couldn't even tell if Reina and Niklaus would even accept his relationship with their daughter. After all, he was that woman's son, the one who almost tried to kill her.

However, that would be for later. Neon was going to seize every chance he had with Ailee and until he was sure she had feelings for him, he would then deal with the issue of her parents - the couples who had raised him as if he was his.

Neon looked down again and this time Ailee's lush lips came into view. God, he was going to die from a boner. As much as he wanted to steal a kiss from her, he would not take advantage of her while she was asleep.

So he simply scooped her into his arms and carried her off the bed and left for her room. Neon made sure to tuck her in properly before he kissed her goodnight on the forehead and left the room.

Unfortunately, as soon as Neon locked the door, for him to turn around, he bumped right into Allen.
