His Toxic Addiction
Chapter 115: Entwined fingers.

Chapter 115: Entwined fingers.

A weird feeling speculated in her tummy as she watched him sleep. His face was peaceful but his body wasn’t.

His both knees were up to his chest, his hand losingly holding them close. The sight was so amusing that Arissa had to pick up her phone to take a picture of his sleeping figure.

’Why are you doing that?’ her inner voice asked in surprise when she captured Nicklaus and not only that, she kept on zooming on his face in and out.

’I’d delete it in the next hour,’ she replied her inner voice before dropping her phone back on her lampstand. Though she said she would delete it, she was a hundred percent sure she wouldn’t.

Leaving her bed, she walked into her closet before coming out with a white duvet. Standing before him, she contemplated for a moment.

She wants him to suffer tonight so that next time, he wouldn’t think about spending a night in her room. That was the reason she gave him just a single light blanket with no pillow to sleep on. But looking at him now, she felt uncomfortable knowing she ought to give him at least a pillow to sleep on.

Moving back to her bed, she took one of her numerous pillows and came back to him. Gently kneeling, she dropped the duvet and the pillow beside her as she went back to admiring him.

Her hand went on to touch his face but out of reflex, she drew her hand back to herself. Remembering what happened hours ago, she dreed touching him when he was asleep. Who knows, he might just be pretending again.

Tightening her expression, she brought the pillow closer to his head while considering if she should just wake him up to use the pillow himself.

Taking note of how annoying he might be if he woke up, she decided to do the deed herself while praying inwardly he doesn’t wake up.

Moving closer to him still kneeling, she rubbed his forehead tenderly, just like she does with Adele when she sleeps off without caution.

Feeling him drop all of his defense, she raised his head an inch off the floor. Fastly grabbing the pillow, she dragged it under his head. Gently reducing his head to drop on the pillow, his palm caught hold of her wrist before tracing it to her palm. Getting a hold of her soft palm, he held it tight with care and Arissa body jolted with electric sparks.

Her eyes widened as her heart skipped a beat with the skin-to-skin contact. Her eyes went down to his eyes, she bit her lower lips realizing he was unaware of the hold but was still conscious enough to hold her hand in such a soft manner. Breathing slowly, she dropped his head on the pillow and gently withdraw her hand from his soft clench - even if she never wanted to.

Done with the hard task, she stood straight and covered his body with the duvet she brought for his comfort.

Leaning in, she held her hair into a knot to avoid them disturbing his sleep. Arranging her hair, she went closer to his face and placed a light fluttering good night kiss on his cheek, standing straight, she scanned him again, and when she saw he had straightened under the duvet, she walked back to her bed.

Even on her bed, she half an hour just watching him, her mind wandering around a thousand places with no particular reason, and neither was she able to grab anything she was thinking about.

....

Nicklaus sat up from the floor, his whole body screamed in pain but that was okay because even with all of these pains, he had finally experienced what real sleep looks like.

He was surprised when he felt a soft pillow underneath his head and not only that, a white duvet was also over his body. When he slept off, she never offered him a duvet to use over his body and this only mean one thing.

She had woken up earlier and covered him up - that’s interesting. Taking the duvet off his body, he stood up and watched her sleep from afar.

Walking to the bed, he watched her tranquil beauty, and with all admiration, he took her hair off her face and gently kissed her cheek down to her jaw.

"Nicklaus?" Arissa murmured from her sleep. Nicklaus stooped what he was doing and at that instant, Arissa turned to him.

His breath seized up as he waited for her scolding but to his astonishment, when he looked down at her she was still asleep.

"I’m surprised you care this much about me," Nicklaus said lowly in thought as he stared at her. It was just a simple act of a duvet and a pillow but the fact she was the one who offered created some weird unexplainable feeling inside him.

Taking her palm in his, he entwined their fingers together and placed a deep kiss on her ring finger. Parting his lips from her ring finger, he scanned them before kissing each of them again.

Carefully he lay beside her as he watched her with all attention and curiosity. His emotions turned wild as he watched her, with curiosity, he pushed closer to her and placed a deep kiss on her forehead.

He watched how her lips parted on their own when she completely dozed off. Caressing her jaw for the last time, he covered her completely with her duvet. Standing up, he went back to his sleeping position.

It was morning already but Nicklaus wanted to continue the moment, he won’t know how long this bliss might last so he better not rush out. Work could wait.

He would have to talk to Geal later on, he has to understand what he is feeling and Geal being a pro concerning emotions, would be of great help on this.

Laying back on the floor, he drifted off to sleep for the second time with no care for the outside world.
