Chasing Elysian

38. Awakened User

Rosanna's P. O. V:

Sunlight peeked through the open window and brightened up the room significantly. I awoke in the arms of Kairos, and stilled in his embrace.

'He's still here? I thought he'd have left before I woke up...'

'But satan's hairy ass I've got classes today!'

But that didn't seem to matter when I stared at a sleeping Kairos. I brought my eyes up from his chest to his face, marvelling at the blessedness of good genes. And that innately fine aura of a gentleman he portrayed. Even in his sleep, looking like a serene picturesque jewel. But far better than the actual thing.

His jaw was sharply defined and pronounced, making his features more enviable. I could see his closed eyelines, his pointed nose in proud display and his slightly parted cherry lips enticing one to have a little taste of it.

'My studies doesn't seem important with such a face in view. Is this the reason mama advised me to run away from those disaster causing agents named men and attraction?'

'I can agree. It's not good for my heart. How does one think of studying with a stuffy, throbbing heart?'

'And why do I like the feeling of us this close?'

'Kairos isn't all bad... He's quite a decent- nope. But he's attractive nonetheless. Very. The insane urge to take risks draws me to him. Especially when I identify him as 'forbidden' and 'dangerous'. Is my good girl side revolting? Surely the smart side will persuade her to be more reasonable?'

I stared. I kept staring till I felt like a criminal. Until I became one. His flawless skin had me feeling slightly jealous but more so imaginative. How would it be to see that face tainted with blood or a creamy substan- Jael f*cking Graymond, you pervert!

Kairos' beauty should be absolutely illegal. Especially those perfectly carved brows. Nah, this guy should be doing some special care for all this.

I watched as his chest rose in a steady pace, taking in deep shallow breaths.

I was entranced by his presence. He emitted a deep aura that had me itching to know what laid within. I wanted to peer inside his depths and swim in it. Drown? No. Swim like a fish in ocean? Absolutely.

And when I turned my gaze back up to his face, gold eyes stared back at mine. With such intensity that rivalled the tension of exam week. Perhaps even more. Probably the tension one gets when solving the math questions during the final year exam.

I saw a tinge of orange in his eyes and they resembled a bright sunny artwork that could lure anyone in. His beauty was compelling but more so the depths he revealed in his eyes.

"Morning...." I muttered, averting my stare away as I shifted to distance ourselves.

I could feel the slight pause on his hand when he hesitated to let me go. His warm palm pressed on my waist but eventually he released me when I added more force to my move. Untangling our legs from our initial position.

'Don't tempt me, I say. Don't tempt me!' The Prince shouldn't be oblivious to his charm, yes?

I sat up from the bed when I had gotten out of his embrace, placed my feet on the chilly tiled floors as I stood up to walk to the bathroom.
