Chapter 27

Grace : 

' Being mine wouldn't,' Adrik's words continuously play in my mind making it difficult for me to sleep. Adrik had some important work to do, so he is in his office. It's been 2 two hours since he left and I still can't sleep. What he said today was so cute. He was giving literal book boyfriend vibes. Why did he have to be this sweet? Now I can't freaking sleep because I can't help but overthink everything, including my existence.

Books.

God, I need my books. I need to read. I want to read. I just want to escape my mind and be in some other perfect world.

I toss and turn for an hour or so trying to find a comfortable position until Adrik returns. I bury my face in the comforter and pretend to be asleep. He swiftly moves towards the bed and removes his t-shirt and throws it on the table aside.

It's mannerless but hot. Stop it , Grace.

He lies down on the bed and turns towards me. I pretend to be asleep as I seriously can not take anything anymore, at least for today. It's too much. He removes the comforter from my face and brushes the hair on my face behind my ears. Encircling his arm around my waist he pulls me closer and tucks himself in the comforter with me and buries his face in my neck.

" What are we doing? This is not how it was supposed to be, Luna. I know you are awake." he murmurs.

God, what is he?

I slowly open my eyes and say, " I don't know," because I actually don't. He is right, this was not how it was supposed to be.

" Sleep," he uttered as I turned around and he pulled me against him, again.

What is it with him, pulling me towards him always?

Sighing deeply, I close my eyes and let sleep engulf me, not afraid of the nightmares, because Adrik is with me.

" Wake up," I hear Adrik speak, as I bury my face in my pillow and say, " No."

" Either you be there in the gym in five minutes or I carry you there and I'll fuck you so hard that you wouldn't be able to get up for the next week," he said leaving as I got up.

Seriously, he threatened me to go to the gym. I wouldn't mind being fucked but okay.

I go to the bathroom and wash my face. I take one of my sports bra and pair it with matching gym shorts and put my hair in a ponytail and go to the gym.

" I thought I would have to carry you here," Adrik teased, removing his shirt and threw it aside.

" You don't have to," I said as I went towards him.

" Pull ups?" he asked me, gesturing towards the equipment.

" Let's," I nodded and followed him.

His large palms engulfed my waist as he helped me hold onto the bar, I reached onto the bar and he did the same. He did the first pull up as I followed him. We continued doing so until I started struggling. He did it so effortlessly, as if it were nothing for him. I was about to give up when he said, " No, don't give up. Wrap your leg around my waist," he said looking me straight in the eye with his light grey eyes.

Why do his eyes change shades?

I did as he told me and wrapped my legs around his waist.

" You know you are the first woman who has my cock throbbing during a workout session," he said with a devil smirk as I inhaled visibly and tensed. I removed my legs off his waist and jumped down as he followed me.

" Sex talk has you tense I see." he said as he followed me.

" I bet you are also wet right now," he said, smirking as I pressed my legs together due to the warmth.

" We're here to work out. I didn't wake up this early to have a sex talk with you," I said, confidently trying not to show him how much he affects me. No matter how much I deny it, I know that he affects me and attracts me. And I hate it. I don't want to like him. Be attracted to him. Affected by him. I just want to stay away from him but I can't. The dumb part of me just wants to spend as much time as possible with him.

" How much can you lift?" he asked me dramatically, rolling his eyes, moving towards the weights.

" 70," I said proudly. I worked my ass off to be able to lift this weight but comparative to Adrik, it seems to be nothing.

" Not even my warm up, what's your body weight?" he asked, chuckling.

" 60, I guess. I'm not sure," I said, crossing my hands over my chest.

" C'mon," he said, urging me to get on the bench press. I adjusted myself to it as Adrik effortlessly got the weights. It's as if it's nothing for him, not even his warm up weight.

Dumb, he just said that.

Adrik grinned as he adjusted the weights on the barbell. "Let's see what you got," he encouraged.

I positioned myself, ready to lift. As I started the first set, Adrik watched attentively, his arms crossed. The gym atmosphere felt charged with energy.

"You've got good form," he noted. " Add some more weight."

I hesitated but agreed as he added more plates to the barbell. The push felt challenging, but I was determined to keep up. Adrik, meanwhile, effortlessly lifted weights that seemed almost unreal. How the fuck can he lift the weight so easily?

I did one set and my arms gave up on me. The weights. They will fall on my face. No. That's the only good thing I'm left with. I clamped my eyes shut but the weights didn't fall on my face.

" I'm holding them, you can open your eyes," Adrik said bored.

Yes, I was dramatic. I know that but what if? What if they had fallen on my face? I could have died. I would have died.

" I would die if they fell on me," I pointed out while getting on the seat.

" You really think I would let anything happen to you?" he asked me as he adjusted his weights.

200. In which world does he live in? My god.

" I mean, why would you care?" I said casually lifting my shoulders. Of course he would not care, who am I even to him? His forced wife.

He swiftly wrapped his hand around me and pushed me against the wall, putting a hand behind my head, so I would not get hurt, and pinned me against the wall.

" I care, I fucking care. So now don't fucking push me so I rip off your little tight shorts off and fuck you so hard that even in your dreams you will question the fact that do I care," he growled, pushing himself against my front.

He cares.

I gasp as I feel him, so hard. He's hard because of me.

" I - okay," I uttered, as made himself comfortable and started lifting.
