Nicholas opens their bedroom door and lets her in as Grace complains all the while as he drags her behind him.

Once she gets in the room, she stops her complaining to check out the room and her jaw drops.

"You got to be kidding me" she whisper asks looking around the room and totally loves it

"Your clothes are in there," he informs as he goes to change himself

"Okay, what's with you and your passion for roaming half-naked?" she cannot help but ask him

"I was just making sure you see what you own now" he winks at her while she scoffs before she goes to take out her own nightclothes.

"Are you serious about this?" she asks once again hoping he will let her sleep in her own room

"Get in" he orders as all the playfulness leaves his side

Grace begrudgingly slips in the bed and pulls the cover up to her neck as she goes to sleep as far away from him as possible but he simply pulls her a bit closer.

Nicholas lands a peck on her forehead silently wishing her goodnight before turning his back to her and sleeping on his side of the bed without touching her.

Grace lies straight like a log holding her breath as much as she can before she slowly exhales and peeks on him.

"Don't even think to try anything while I am asleep, else I will...I will..." she warns him still not fully trusting the man, if he can touch her things without her permission only he knows what he will do once she lets her guard down and falls asleep.

"You will what?" he asks turning to face her in amusement

"I will just make you sleep on couch?" she answers with a question but adds it when he just stares at her

"Can't you sleep on the couch?" she finally asks on verge of begging him

"I won't touch you in any inappropriate way until you want" he assures her and she stares in his eyes for a while making sure he was telling the truth before giving in

"Okay" she whispers back before she gets out of the bed and rushes to the couch while he watches her move

Grace collects all the cushions she can find in the room before making a borderline between them.

"If you cross this line then I will move out of this room," she states proudly checking her handicraft

"And if you cross it, you will stay in here forever" he adds making her frown

"I won't," she agrees nodding her head

"We will see" he smiles once again turning to his side

Grace keeps staring at his naked back and gulps trying to throw away all of her naughty thoughts and slowly slips inside the blanket.

She goes to turn her back to him as well but stops when a thought enters, if she cannot touch then she will enjoy checking him out.

Therefore, slowly she turns to check him and mentally does her happy dance as she finds him sleeping on his back and displaying his wonderful chest as the cover slips off him a bit.

Grace checks to make sure he is asleep as she stares from his face to his chest and groans before turning her back at the absurdity of the situation and why she was behaving like that.

"I will go crazy like this," she mutters to herself as she covers herself totally and tries to fall asleep.
