Chapter 157
- KILLIAN -
I hold the door open and step to the side to let her pass. Hazel walks in, in front of me. “Why, thank you.” She giggles.
Mm. I tried to make her have a good time today but I’m not quite fulfilled myself. There’s something she’s not telling me and as much as I try to ignore it, I want to hear it from her mouth.
It’s been a long day. The day would’ve been nearly perfect if Asami and Owen didn’t but in casually, as usual, in every way since morning. I follow Hazel from behind. There is no way I’m letting her spend another day in her dorm after knowing either of them could put a target on her.
From now on, she’ll live with me. If she needs to study or do anything, I’ll be there, always ready to protect her. And if she needs space, I’ll give her all the space she needs while putting her on a constant twenty-four-seven watch.
Hazel drops on the sofa, resting both her arms on the arms of the sofa with her back slouched to give a lazy, comfortable posture. “It’s good to be home. My body is fatigued.” She moans, closing her eyes. She did nothing but eat and sit all day so I have no clue where the fatigue came from but who am I to make a comment?
I let my fingers sink behind her, making its way from her mid back upwards, giving her a gentle massage. The moan that leaves her lips the moment my fingers kneads into her body makes me sigh. I have to be careful while handling her shoulder.
“What aren’t you telling me?” I say, finally asking the question that’s been bugging me since we met.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Now’s not the time to act puzzled, Hazel. You forget that I know you. I stay calm.
“Your shoulder,” I start. “What aren’t you telling me?”
“I can’t understand what you mean.”
