25: How to make him sleep?

Rosie's Pov

I knew I would regret my decision of sharing a bed with Kyle but I couldn't do anything about it now.

After releasing a frustrated sigh, I had, had enough. "Kyle, can you sleep?" I mumbled over my shoulder, staring at him in the dark.

"I will if only I had something or someone to hold onto." Kyle replied almost desperately. I rolled my eyes at what he was instigating.

Cheeky butt.

"You promised to keep to your hands to yourself." I grumbled shifting a little away from him as I felt him scooting close to me.

Either he knew what I was trying to do or he didn't as he slung his arm over my midsection of the stomach, pulling me back flushed against his front.

I sucked in a harsh breath at his action and grew stiff under his touch.

I calmed my wildly beating heart and I tried to even my breathing. "Kyle." I hissed pushing at his hands but he just held me more tightly.

"Just let me hold you." Kyle mumbled in my ear sleepily, my ears felt hot and warmed spread in my cheeks.

My chest starting to heave again at our position and because of his hold on me. I gulped trying to calm my extra fast beating heart.

Calm down, calm down. I chanted this over and over in my head as I felt my heart threatening to break away from the ribcage, beating wildly.

Oh my, at this rate, I'd die young.

"Kyle." I tried again, pushing at his steel like arm around my stomach. My voice didn't sound shaky and nervous contrast to how I was feeling on the inside.

"Rose, just this once." I felt his lips moving on the shell of my ear causing a shiver to run down my spine.

I felt his chest vibrating with laugh and I ducked my head, my chin almost touching my chest as I realised he probably felt my shiver.

I was grateful and saved from the embarrassment when he didn't comment or remarked anything on it.

I gave up trying to get rid of his arm as I didn't want to embarrassed myself further.

I let his arm stay around me and felt his breath on my neck. I closed my eyes tightly trying to sleep and succumbed to obliviousness but sleep was the last thing on my mind with Kyle pressed on my back.

"Rose." Kyle whispered in the dark. I hummed in reply as I tried to sleep despite Kyle's closeness.

He didn't say anything for a while which made me believed he had drifted off but he opened his mouth and asked me something that drove away all traces of sleepiness from my system.

"Can I kiss you?"

I gaped in the dark as my heart started beating erratically at his request.

My heart was screaming yes, doing a somersault and cheering on with pom-pom showering glitters all around but the sensible yet egoistic side of me shook her head, tsk-ing at me.

Trying to seem and sound as unaffected as possible by his request, I decided to go with the latter side of me. "Can I kick your jewels?" I asked instead and thanked the almighty when my voice sound strong and didn't waver.

I felt him huff and grumble how inconsiderate and insensitive girl I was by not fulfilling the wish of a dying hot man.

I scoffed at his mumbling hearing it loud and clear because his lips were so close to my ear.
