Assassin's Love Square

Chapter 19: Revealed

*Sorry in advance, I edited this chapter by myself 🤪

~The Next Morning~

You were gently coaxed out of slumber feeling the warmth of sunshine on your eyelids and the soft fingers that were stroking your hair. You peeked your eyes open to find Hisoka's handsome figure laying beside you, propped up by an elbow. When he noticed your stirring, his hand descended from your hair to your cheek, rubbing loving circles with the pad of his thumb.

"Good morning, dearest" he purred, placing a kiss on your forehead.

"Mmm good morning" you replied sleepily.

He rolled over flat on his back and extended an arm to you. You snuggled against his broad shoulder and rested your head on his chest.

"Y/n?"

"Yes?"

"I... think I love you"

Your body tensed under him and he felt you growing hot.

"It's okay. I know you have a lot to think about but, I just didn't want to hold anything in... I can't stand seeing anyone else touch you. You're so beautiful and enticing, if you were mine, I'd probably have to lock you away so no one could look at you the way I do."

"Hisoka..." you whispered.

"You don't have to say anything now. Just know that even with the way I am, I'm completely serious about claiming you." You wrapped your leg around his and snuggled closer to him, feeling his fluttering heart beneath you, and hugged him close for a while.

~Later, in the Afternoon~

Hisoka left after a morning of whispering sweet nothings and mapping your body with kisses and rubs. After taking a shower, you were lounging around and preparing a snack in a large t-shirt, wearing only underwear underneath, your hair still wet and aromatic. Suddenly you heard a small knock at the door followed by Illumi's familiar voice.

"Y/n? I'm coming in" he announced before unlocking the door and stepping inside.

You were standing by the counter in your small kitchen cutting up some fruits when he quietly approached you from behind. He slid his arms under your loose shirt and hugged your waist tightly, burying his head in the crook of your neck. He took in a deep breath, sniffing your freshly washed hair and exhaling his warm breath onto your skin.

"Are you okay, Illu?" you asked softly after a while of him holding you close.

"Actually, I have a favor to ask" he responded, "The last time I was home, my dad requested to see you."

"Oh, why didn't you tell me? I'd love to go visit!"

"Okay. I'll have the butlers arrange a flight tomorrow. Right now I'm too tired" he said as he began placing kisses on your shoulder.

You melted at his touch as his hands roamed around in your shirt, and his tongue lapped at your pulse. You turned around in his arms and pulled him to your level for a kiss. His tongue swiped across your bottom lip, requesting entry, which you eagerly accepted. He picked you up effortlessly and carried you to the bedroom.

"I thought you said you were tired?" you teased.

"I am but, this much I can handle," he responded, gently lowering you onto the bed.

His body loomed over yours and you studied his face, noticing the dark circles under his eyes and exhausted expression. You hooked your arms around his neck, pulling his body towards yours and flipped him over on his side.
