Chapter 26 : Nap Time

Vox's lips curled into a wry smile as he jests, "Twice in one day? I might need to get you a key at this rate". I couldn't help but return his playful banter, adding a hint of flirtation to my tone, "Oh, so you're offering me a permanent spot, huh? I might just take you up on that". His laughter echoed in the hallway, a melodious sound that warmed me from the inside out. "Careful now, you might give me ideas", he teased, his eyes twinkling mischievously. I flashed him a coy smile, playfully batting my eyelashes. "Well, you know where to find me if you ever need a reason to make that extra key", I quipped, feeling a surge of confidence wash over me.

We shared a moment of lighthearted banter before Vox stepped aside, gesturing for me to enter. "Come on in. What brings you here this time?" he asked, his voice tinged with curiosity. As we settled onto the sofa, the warmth of Vox's presence comforting yet unsettling at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for my impulsive actions earlier in the day. With a heavy sigh, I turned to him, my expression a mix of vulnerability and regret. "I hate this, but I have to admit, Vox, you were right", I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm struggling. I can't shake this feeling... this craving for Val". His gaze softened, his eyes reflecting understanding and concern as he reached out to gently squeeze my hand in reassurance. "It's okay. You're not alone in this, I'm here" he murmured softly, his voice a soothing balm to my troubled mind.

"I know, but... it's just... I hate feeling so out of control", I admitted, my voice trembling slightly with emotion. "If I had gone back to the office with him... who knows what might have happened?". Vox nodded in understanding, his expression sympathetic yet firm. "But you didn't. You made the right choice by coming here", he reassured me, his unwavering support a beacon of strength in my moment of weakness. Vox's lips curved into a playful smirk as he teased, "Though I must admit, it's rather disheartening to hear that Val's mysterious allure surpasses mine". I couldn't help but chuckle at his remark, my heart lightening slightly under his playful banter. "Well, let's be real here", I retorted with a hint of mischief in my voice. "Val's got some tricks up his sleeve that you just can't compete with. I mean, come on, the guy practically drugs people with his saliva. It's not exactly a fair comparison". Vox laughed softly, the sound like music to my ears as he leaned in closer, his gaze locking with mine in a tantalizing dance of desire and amusement. "Point taken" he conceded with a playful glint in his eyes. "But I assure you, Love, I have a few tricks of my own that might just surprise you". Oh, why did he have to say that. I'd just calmed down...

As his words hung in the air, a thrilling shiver ran down my spine, igniting a spark of anticipation within me. Maybe, just maybe, there was hope yet for me to overcome the intoxicating allure of Val's abilities with Vox by my side. I feel flustered, shuffling in my seat, Valentino's still in my system. Vox's smirk widened as he noticed my shuffling, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he leaned in closer, the warmth of his breath grazing my ear. "Feeling a bit restless, are we?" he murmured, his voice low and husky, sending a shiver down my spine. I couldn't help but squirm under his gaze, feeling the heat rising in my cheeks as I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. "It's just...", I began, my voice trailing off as I struggled to find the right words to convey the overwhelming rush of emotions coursing through me.

But Vox seemed to understand all too well, his hand gently trailing down my arm in a soothing gesture as he leaned back, his gaze softening with understanding. "Relax, darling," he whispered, his voice laced with tenderness. "You're safe here with me. Just breathe". I hesitated for a moment, feeling a rush of nervous anticipation coursing through me as I glanced up at Vox, my cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Um, maybe you could... help me out a bit?", I suggested tentatively, my voice barely above a whisper. Vox's eyes sparkled with amusement as he cocked an eyebrow, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "Oh, really now?" he teased, his tone laced with mischief. "And what exactly did you have in mind?". I bit my lip nervously, feeling a surge of adrenaline coursing through me as I met Vox's gaze, my heart pounding in my chest. "Nothing too crazy", I reassured him hastily, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Just... maybe a little... making out? It might help settle the urge... just for a bit". Suggesting that, makes me want to crawl into a hall and die. Vox chuckled softly, his amusement evident as he leaned in closer, his warm breath grazing my ear. "Well, if that's all you need", he murmured, his voice low and husky with desire. "Consider it done".
