Time and Destiny

Chapter-38

Nova

I couldn't believe what I just heard.

H-He loves me?

Out of all the things I never expected him to say that. And if that didn't make me the happiest woman on this planet then I don't know what will.

Damn it Nova! Say something

Well, that's hard.... especially when he's looking at me like that.

His intense gaze never failed to send a shiver of excitement down my spine. And his eyes, they were like magnets, pulling me into the depth of his silver orbs.

I was so lost in my world of thoughts until I felt his grip on my waist tighten.

I looked up to see his jaw was now clenched in anger.

Shit! I didn't even reply.
He must be thinking I don't feel the same way about him.

I am such a fool!

He tilted my chin upwards, his fingers digging into my skin as he stared at me with dark eyes.

"I-I love you too" I blurted out and he slightly relaxed but judging from his posture he still seemed tense.

"Do you mean that?" he questioned with serious and wide eyes.

Of course I love you!

"I do" I said looking straight into his eyes.

He didn't waste a single second before he claimed my lips once again. I wiggled slightly trying to get more comfortable as I was sitting on his lap sideways and as if he sensed that he adjusted me such that both my legs were now on either side of his torso.

Not long before he pulled back and left me panting for more.
"I want you to say it again" he demanded, his lips brushing against mine.

"I love you, Nicholas," I said with a goofy smile.

He gripped my wrist and rested my palm against his chest. I could feel his racing heart beat against my skin.

"You feel that, love?" he chuckled, making me look at him in confusion.

"That's you making me the most happiest man in this entire world"

I looked up at him only to find him smiling widely.

This was the first time I had ever seen him smile and it made my heart flutter to know that it was because of me.

"You should smile more often!" I whispered without breaking eye contact.

"I might. Now that I have found a reason to smile" he said and slammed his mouth into mine.

He fiercely moved his lips, ravenously kissing me like a starving man. I gripped a fistful of his hair and pulled it while moaning into his mouth. His tongue dominantly explored every corner of my mouth as I willingly gave into his need. His free arm pulled me against his hard chest as I wrapped my legs against his torso. I hadn't realized I was straddling him until I felt his hardness pressing right against my core.

I gasped at the strange feeling and unknowingly started grinding my hips against him. He groaned and flipped me over, pinning me against the soft mattress. His hands were gripping my hips in a firm hold and his eyes showed frustration and need.

"Do you want me?" he whispered, his warm breath fanning my face.

"Yes" I grinned and planted my lips on his, kissing him softly.

His hand travelled down my hip and gripped onto the hem of the shirt as he slowly lifted it upwards, without breaking the kiss.

There was no going back now and I didn't care as long as I had him by my side.
