Chapter 56: Honeymoon
Of all the things that Nora could have expected to witness when she woke up in the middle of the night, this was the most unexpected. Pleasant but unexpected. With her glass of water clutched in her hand, she could only blink and let her gaze wander down the beautifully sculpted back of the man in front of her.
Even in the dim light, she could see the sweat glistening on it. The play of light and shadow accentuated his well-defined muscles that moved with fluidity as he shifted. She’d definitely felt those shoulders under her hands when he had kissed her but this was... The man did not just have a perfect face but also the perfect body with those broad shoulders and the inverted triangle physique.
The pants he wore also hung low on his hips and she could see the waistband of his underpants sneaking out. Nora could feel her mouth dry up like a desert as she felt the sudden need to feel his muscles under her hands. He was not overly muscled and his otherwise perfect back was marred by only a large scar that stretched diagonally around his back. But even then, the scar only highlighted the beauty of this man.
As she tried to remind herself to breathe, he turned his head and she forgot to even breathe. Their eyes met and she could only stare into those magnetic orbs. She needed to say something she reminded herself instead of gawking like a perv...
But she had no idea what to say. Should she compliment on his beautiful back? Apologize for seeing him like this? It was too late for her to pretend to be blind, wasn’t it. Dam* it! She should have run back into her room the moment she came out. Now she was caught.
She watched as he turned away from her again and her shameless eyes immediately went back to admiring his physique. Her hands had also joined the ’shameless’ bandwagon and were urging her to let them know what he would feel like.
Demetri said nothing, but he gave a faint, knowing smile and grabbed a bottle of water. As he unscrewed the cap and poured water into a glass, Nora’s eyes couldn’t help but wander, urging silently for the lowers to fall a bit more. Were his glutes as sculpted as this as well?
Demetri finished pouring the water and walked over to Nora, passing the glass into her unresisting hands and taking away the empty glass. "Here you go," he said, his voice calm and soothing.
"Thank you," N replied, taking the glass with slightly trembling hands. She took a sip of the water, trying to regain her composure as she belatedly questioned," How did you know I was thirsty?"
