---- water from the shower with his huge body.


    Will you let me speak? Come here.


    No way I trust him right now.


    I turn around to enter into a sprint from the bathroom when my body is lifted off the ground and my back is mmed to a hard chest.


    Breathe.


    Its fine.


    Iam never going to leave you, Princess.


    The struggle leaves my body and I go stiff in his arms.


    The cold water dribbles down from his body to fall on me, slightly warmer than before.and I gulp as I feel him tightly wrapping his arms around me.


    As if....


    As if he was scared that I will vanish if he lets go.


    T didn''t know what to do or say.


    We just stay like that and I hear the voice of my conscience whisper to me.


    Maybe...


    he is not that bad as he seems.


    ---- eee Can I really imagine a life with him Can I ept him to be my mate? But he has failed the terms.


    There is no way that he will change for me.


    But should J at least give him a chance? Am I being too stubborn and tough on myself and on him.


    Should I really listen to dad? He wouldn''t wish anything bad for me right? I stare at him as he turns me around and runs his wet hand on my lips and cheeks.


    Was he washing my face? His hand sneaks lower to rub on my neck and I thought he would go lower.


    But he stops.


    His hands don''t dare to go down any further.


    L expected to find irritation and disgust in his eyes, but his face was nk.


    Not giving away anything And his patience irked me.


    ---- Why is he being so nice? Can you change your clothes or do you want me to do it? He tries to move back from me but I let my body lean on him.


    I am tired.


    I just want to sleep.


    Do whatever you want to.


    I whisper, ripping out this mask of sophistication between us.


    He has watched me naked before and fucked me hard before.


    We were beyond that stage now.


    He doesn''t have to pretend.


    Tlis hands gripping my shoulder tighten to fists and he sighs.


    In the next few minutes, he strips me bare Makes me brush my teeth and then takes me to my room.


    Rummaging through my closet, hees out with the most sophisticated set of pajamas and top I own and helps me put them on.


    Dropping my head on my pillow, he covers me up ---- eee = with aforter and just stood there beside me Staring.


    I try to open my dropping eyes and meet his stare but I was struggling.


    The heaviness...


    it was slowly settling in.


    I must be in my half sleep or rather a dream when I feel something soft press on my forehead.


    Goodnight Princess.


    A very happy birthday to you.


    A warmth gushes in my body and I turn around in my half sleep to nuzzle with something warm beside me Tt was so huge...


    yet so warm.


    T cuddle my face more into it and hug it more tightly.


    A feeling of home fills me and before I know it, I slip into oblivion.
