Artemis

07

Just like an owl, with a pair of huge eyes and wide awake at night, Artemis feels just the same. She couldn't get a wink last night when the storm finally stopped. Naturally she will instantly fall asleep when she felt so much terror, but last night was a major difference, she couldn't sleep or feel sleepy at all, she couldn't even understand why her heart is pounding just like the loud thunder from last night.

And now she suddenly froze when two strong arms wrap around her waist move through her back and pulled her closer, and embraced her tighter that before and it made her stop breathing.

"I'm here for you, always."

The words that Light whispered on her ears echoed in her head and the way he hugged her and assuring her safety was a feeling that is so out of this world. It's like the God of Love whispered something that's so powerful that it could make her heart pound like a thunder.

"mm-mmm."

Once again, Artemis froze when Light moaned and embraced her tightly, he seems to be sleeping well, and with her as his body pillow, he couldn't wish for anything else.

"God, when will he ever wake up?"

Artemis thought as she could see the light from the sun entering the tree house. She helplessly sighed as Light is still sleeping soundly, she wanted to stand up and greet the sun but how could she do that when there's a God-like man sleeping beside her and embracing her as if he owns her.

Slowly and gently, she tries to escape from Light's embrace but it's no use for he hugged her even more, irritated she looked up at Light's face and she just lost her sanity.

The man is sleeping soundly, eyes are close peacefully, his breathing is calm, his lips are facilely parted that made way to his warm and addictive breath.

"Mint."

She thought and eyed Light's perfect face a little longer. His brows are thick and are in shape, eye lashes are long, thick and curving to its perfection, his nose is proud, and his lips, she stops and stared at his lips before swallowing an invisible lump in her throat. His lips are tempting, it's like begging her to meet hers.

She swallowed an invisible lump, once again and felt her heart that's pounding like it's the end of everything.

"Like what you see?"

She froze and looks up and a pair of ocean blue orbs meets her emerald green eyes.
