Entangled

Chapter-47

Ariana

Snuggling into the warmness beside me, I slowly opened my eyes. I fluttered my eyes to blink away sleepiness.

A smile formed on my lips when I glanced at the warmth to which I had been clinging as if my life was dependent on it. My one hand was around Xavier's torso with my head rested on his shoulder and his arm was wrapped around my shoulders. Laying beside him felt so right.

Craning my neck up, I gazed at his sleeping face. He looked so peaceful and calm. Events of the last night flashed before my eyes. The best night of my life; my first date night, the night on which we both confessed our feelings to each other, the night Xavier asked to give this marriage a chance, the night we slept together for the time, cuddling each other and the night on which I found my hope, my love.

Slowly, I leaned towards him and pressed my lips on his forehead. A sudden squeal escaped my throat when I was suddenly flipped on my back with Xavier on top of me.

"I'd have preferred a kiss on my lips. That'd be the best way to wake up in the morning." He said in his morning husky voice which made my stomach flip in giddiness.

"You were awake?" I whispered shyly.

"I woke up the moment you decided to stare at my handsome face." He said haughtily, making my eyes wide. He laughed at my reaction.

"Xavier that's cheating," I said blushing. He chuckled and kissed my cheek.

"That's not cheating. I was just waiting for you to make any move my cute piglet." He bit his tongue as he said that.

"What did you say?" I asked.

"I said I was just waiting..."

"No, the last word. I couldn't hear it clearly." I cut him off, frowning.

"You didn't hear?" He sighed. "Then your mistake, I'm not repeating it. It's top-secret." He whispered, nibbling my ear, and rubbed his stubble against my cheek.

"Now, give me my morning kiss." He inched closer to my lips but I instantly covered my mouth with my hand.

"No, I haven't brushed yet," I mumbled.

"And I don't care. Remember we have done it before?" He frowned and pouted like a kid. Aww, he's so cute.

"I know but it's not going to happen today. Now, go away I have to go to my room to get ready for work." I tried to push him but he didn't budge.

"Ariana..." His voice suddenly left playfulness, his expressions became serious.

"Ariana, from now on you'll sleep in this room and I'm not taking no for an answer. From today onwards this will be our room. Get that?" He stated, looking deep into my eyes.

I nodded my head because I didn't want to be away from him. He's making me experience new things that are boosting my confidence little by little.

"Good, I'll ask Mrs. Molly to transfer your stuff in this room." He said.

"No I can do it..mmmm," He cut me off by crashing his lips on mine. He took me off guard and deepened the kiss by plunging his tongue in my mouth. And as though he did some magic on me to hypnotize me, my lips automatically moved to respond to his kiss. The intensity of the kiss was making me dazed. He ran his hands seductively on my curves making me moan in delight.

"What will you say now?" He pulled away and smirked.

"You're a cheater, Xavier." I glared at him, catching my breath.

"Oh, yeah? Then you're the same because you kissed me back." He winked, making me blush. I averted my eyes mentally scolding myself. Seriously I have got that desperate that I couldn't control myself? Goodness, Xavier is making me lose control.
