Chapter 44: A cute intruder
"To sleep with you, of course."
Evelyn’s heart skipped a beat, the words echoing in her mind like a broken record. She looked up at Zevian, his expression so serious that it made her cheeks burn even hotter. Was he teasing her? But the way he looked down at her, those intense eyes locked on hers, said he was dead serious.
"I-I don’t want to sleep with you!" Evelyn grumbled, desperately trying to keep her emotions in check, even though her heart was racing.
"But I do," Zevian’s response came so quickly that she didn’t have time to process it, let alone respond. Oh, how she regretted making that silly wish last night, now realizing it was probably the reason behind his bold behavior.
Before she knew it, they were standing in front of his room. Zevian pushed the door open with his foot and walked inside, the soft click of the door locking behind them sending her heart into a marathon again.
He carried her to the bed, gently laying her down on the soft mattress. The warmth of his breath brushed against her skin as he leaned in close, sending a shiver down her spine. The closeness was dizzying, even though she was completely sober!
Zevian adjusted the pillow behind her, making sure she was comfortable. He patted her head gently, his voice soft as he said, "Sleep."
Sleep? Evelyn scoffed inwardly. How was she supposed to sleep after he had stirred her so completely, melting away even her exhaustion with just his actions?
"How annoying," she mumbled as he walked into the bathroom. At least a small kiss would’ve been some justice for all the trouble he was causing her! With a pout, she quickly texted Avery, knowing her friend would panic to didn’t not her in their room.
