chapter 17

Adrianna

My breathing became more intense as I started to feel sweat coat my back.

The hunger that brings starvation pain in my stomach as I felt hot and disgusting and a bit cranky. Since it's the morning. I struggle to open my eyes, preparing my eyes for the brightness but thankfully the windows were covered with pitch-black curtains.

Elliot sleeps with black curtains too.

Once I adjust myself to this new environment, I turn onto my back, stretching my entire body from my arms stretched out and my feet kicking out of the covers.

I turn over to my other side but my arm lays over something. I didn't care too much about it as I was still getting my conscience together.

I glance up from this nice pillow that I had my face dug into. And I meet with Elliot's face in front of my face.

I flinch back. It wasn't a 'nice' pillow.

It was Elliot's 'nice' chest that I dug my face into.

Before I processed anything about how I got into Elliot's arms. Especially in my boss' arms, in my boss' bed.

I notice that his arm was underneath my head and my arm was over his waist with his arm over my shoulder. We were in each other's arms.

I try to move my legs but I couldn't. I pull the covers up a bit and peeked down between us and see his legs twisted with mine, one over the other another.

Fuck.

I lower the covers back down, trying not to make sudden movements. I peel up and see his morning face, a non-frowning face.

There was no line between his eyebrows and instead, he looked pretty. His hair that was all over his face—messy but natural—instead slicked back hair like his usual.

My hand nonchalantly moves to his face with my fingers running through his hair and moving it out of his face.

Now I can see his face more clearly. But my hands don't stop there, they move down as I touch his eyes with my palm on his cheek as my thumb runs beneath his eyes.

My hands touch the side of his face as my heartbeat quickens, thumping loudly inside my chest which stimulates me with a rush of flutters.

"Are you done touching my face, Adrianna?"

I gasp and accidentally push him away as I get out of his arms. His eyes open.

"Just to let you know, Adrianna, you came into my arms last night." He sits up as I blankly stare at him as he stretches, groaning as he cracks his neck.

I try to calm myself as my heart paces while trying to clear my mind with freshness as my face started to heat up. I'm blushing—fuck.

I try to sit up also with my head filled with chaos and try to get a hold of myself. But I feel my hand get misplaced at the edge of the bed. Then I started to dip backward. "Adrianna!"

I shut my eyes, expecting my body to ache a little with some stiff tension in my neck. But instead, my body drops to the floor but with no pain. Not anywhere.

I slowly open my eyes again and realized it was because Elliot had swung himself over to me before I completely fell off the bed and catches me.

"May I suggest," he sighs. "Will you please stop falling from now on?" he asks as he's on top of me with our hips pressed against each other with his arms on each side of my head. Like he's trapping me.
