Risking it all (Lando Norris)

Chapter 10

Lily

I can't believe that Lando did all this for me. Not only that he planned the whole day, he paid for everything and even bought me more than 20 books. I'm happy that we're on the same page and want more than just friendship. 

I have to admit, he's absolutely perfect. Toned body, muscles, curly hair, taller than me with sparks in his eyes, beautiful smile, gentleman, f1 driver...what else could I ask for? 

But I have to say that I'm scared. We work together. I'm his personal assistant and I know that Zak wouldn't like this. What if I'll get fired because of this? What if someone already knows? We fucked up with all of these media pictures. Fans took lots and I'm scared that they already think that we are something.

We definitely are, but nothing official or serious. Well...yet. I was lost deep in my thoughts while we were driving back to the villa. Lando kept his hand on my thigh for the whole drive. 

I kept thinking about Zak telling us about distractions at work. With distractions he meant us. Thankfully Lando pulled me out of my thoughts when he parked the car. "We're here darling..." he said with a smile.

We entered the villa and went straight upstairs. "I'll go get changed. I'll be right back." I said to Lando and went to get my clothes. I returned to our bedroom after a few minutes, dressed into my short silk pyjama. Lando was only in his boxers and I didn't complain. 

"You look hot..." said Lando half asleep. I laughed and laid down beside him. "Can say the same for you, even if you're barely wearing any clothes." I replied and saw him smirking. "Well thank you." he said softly with his eyes closed. 

I turned the lights off and covered myself with a blanket. "Good night Lan." I added and got the same reply from him. I couldn't sleep. I wasn't comfortable and started moving around trying to find the right position to sleep in. 

"Stop moving around..." Lando muttered. I felt my face burning up from the embarrassment. "I'm sorry. I'm not comfortable." I replied softly before I felt his arm wrapping around my waist, pulling me into his chest. 

Well that was hot...

He kept his hand around my slim waist, letting me make myself comfortable. I placed my hand onto his arm and got comfortable in his embrace. Not gonna lie, it was very comfortable, soft and warm. I immediately fell asleep in his arms and listened to his soft breaths. 

The first rays of dawn filtered through the thin curtains, casting a soft, golden glow over the room. I felt his warmth before I was fully awake, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat a soothing reminder of his presence. My head rested comfortably in the crook of his arm, and as I began to wake, I shifted slightly, my hair brushing against his skin.

His hold on me tightened, pulling me closer even in his sleep. I opened my eyes slowly, taking in the expression on his face. He looked so peaceful, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm.

 I traced light patterns over his arm with my fingers feeling safe in his embrace. The world outside seemed distant and irrelevant, a mere backdrop to the magic of this moment. I felt him stir beneath me, his eyes fluttering open to meet mine. A sleepy smile spread across his face as he gazed at me, his eyes filled with adoration. 

"Good morning," he murmured, his voice a husky whisper that sent shivers down my spine. "Good morning," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. I nestled closer, feeling warm and safe in his arms. 

We lay there for a while, basking in the tranquility of the morning. His hand moved to gently caress my hair, his fingers tangling in the soft strands. I closed my eyes again, savouring the sensation, feeling completely at home in his arms.
