The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

292

In the morning, in Luxembourg,

Lisa inhaled deeply, tightening his arm around the little frame who was showering with soft gentle pecks on his face. His lips were threatening to arc, he let out a low throaty groan, satisfied with the way she was waking him up.

Did the Sunrise from the west? She wasn't biting him to wake up.

Ruby Jane gasped when he pulled her on top of him, resting her head on his shoulder, wrapping both his arms, tight and warm around her.

Drawing his scent in, Ruby Jane unknowingly craved nuzzling his neck, probably even taste. When she almost thought he went back to sleep, his arms moved. One hand further tightened around her, another one reached for her face.

Brushing his fingers on her face, he wished in a groggy deep voice, planted a kiss on her head, "Good Morning, Cupcake."

Closing her eyes, Ruby Jane was enjoying his tender caress on her face when she smiled against his hand, "Good morning, Lili."

Her smile widened hearing Cupcake and Lili. Despite never using it for so many years, her lips never found the nickname new or unknown. It was smooth as though she was using it for many years.

"Didn't you get the sleep?" He asked, shifting his hand to caress her head. If she could catch some sleep, he was willing to wait till she completes her nap.

Ruby Jane opened her eyes after hearing him. She had fallen asleep on his lap when he was going through some files. She was sure he probably worked on his laptop and slept very late. Thus he woke up at seven and she was sure Zelda would be having her breakfast.

Pulling herself up to face him, she responded to avoid his unnecessary worry, "How could I not sleep in your arms?" She questioned playfully, "I could sleep in the freezing cold and scorching hot if you're next to me. Here, we have a comfortable bed... Oh no, you are my bed."

Lisa wanted to ask 'why are you flirting with me early in the morning?' but focused on his breathing to have control over him. Hearing her honey-dipped words, he was craving to flip her down and feel her under him.

Unknown about the effects she had on him, Ruby Jane pressed her lips on his cheek and rubbed her face against the crook of his neck, like a pet looking for warmth.

A low grunt escaped his lips to stop her before she could seduce him to no return, "Don't..." He doubted if he would be able to cuddle her to sleep again. He felt like he had reached his limit.

It wasn't like he wanted to wait but the circumstances were against them. Upon that Ruby Jane wished to go to Luxembourg where they couldn't even make some noise, in the small house. He didn't want to see the three ladies embarrassed.

Ruby Jane lifted her head after hearing his husky, restrained voice, much like struggling. Even though he asked her to stop, his body was reacting in contrast to him.

"Is my heart still weak?" She asked softly, looking at his knitted eyebrows and closed eyes.

His eyebrows slowly freed, his lips were threatening to arc up knowing where she was going with that question. Instead of responding, he asked the question, to hear it from her, "Why?"

"Why!?" She uttered the question as it was obvious why she asked, "Because I want to eat you." It's as simple as that. She dipped her head and bit his neck to act on her words by giving in to her temptation.

Like a mercury melt at the heat, his frozen blood melted to her touch and shot on his dried nerves. Lisa flung his eyes open. He flipped her down on the bed in no second and pulled himself up from her.
