Universe (VegasPete) R18

Chapter 13 - Undisclosed (+18)

-Vegas-

I entered the bedroom with only the moon light enlightening the place. I tip toed my way to the bed and sat on the edge beside Pete.

He was sleeping soundly, but his eyebrows were knitted together, his hand holding the blanket against his chest tightly.

My heart started to pound heavily, feeling it in my throat. I was relieved seeing him safe in this bed, waiting for me to come home.

I stayed there a few minutes watching him sleep. Even asleep, he didn't feel like he was resting. The sad and worried look on his face didn't disappear.

I sighed, boiling inside. I can't accept it. I will never accept this. I will do whatever it takes to protect him.

Him, Macau and even Red. Not because I care, but because Pete cares about him. So much that if he ever loses him, I know he won't survive it.

I leaned above him, still staring at his beautiful face. I gently pressed my thumb between his eyebrows, and slowly started to massage the area, wishing his face would relax.

I gently brushed a strand of hair away from his forehead. I moved my hand to his cheek, delicately brushing it. The softness of his skin made me smile.

I took a deep breath, trying to erase the concerned and pathetic look on my face.

« Pete? Pete... I'm back... » I whispered softly.

« Hmm » As his lids slowly half-opened, I smiled, giving him a gentle kiss on his forehead.

« I'm home. You can go back to sleep now. »

As I was trying to pull the blanket up over his shoulder, Pete slowly turned on his side and grabbed my wrist.

« Stay... » His eyes were already closed again, and I could barely hear his fainting voice.

« Wha... »

« Stay with me until morning. »

His head slowly buried in my chest, his arm seizing my waist. I stopped moving for a few seconds, unable to hold my smile.

I have dreamed of this moment since the day Pete escaped. And with what happened tonight, this is all I wanted. Holding him, just like that, just like I used to do before.

But this time it was him who initiated this. He was the one who wanted to snuggle against me tonight.

As I was feeling his breath and his warmth, an indescribable wave of comfort invaded me.

I eventually slipped carefully under the blanket, wrapping tightly my arms around him.

« Sweet dreams, my love » I whispered, burying my nose in his hair, appreciating every second of this moment.

As I was closing my eyes, Pete's hand started to slowly caress my chest, moving up towards my neck, grabbing the side of my face. Then his leg slowly lifted and slid to rest on me.

I stayed still until I was startled by his lips kissing the crook of my neck. A deep kiss. The kind that sent electrifying shivers right down your spine.

« Are you awake? » I asked with a soft voice

I gently grabbed his chin, raising it towards me, to see that his eyes were now open.

He nodded, looking at me.

« Did everything go well? »

« Hmm, perfectly fine. » I lied. Once again.

« Why did you have to bring so many bodyguards with you? »

I looked at him, wondering. Pete often forgot what my job is, but I also often forget that he was the main bodyguard of the first family.
