Chapter 16: Eyes Were Her Medium
’What is going on with you? It’s not like you can’t move away from her or avoid her advances!!!’ He inwardly grunted with a dark face as he staredng at his ceiling. He tried to move, but whenever he would, Raine would tighten her embrace on his chest like he was her own pillow. Not to mention her strong legs currently trapping his lower body.
He held his breath when Raine brushed her bare legs on his as if it was a fur brushing her skin.
’This woman is too much! Did she think I’m not a man at all? Does she do it to every stranger she encountered!?’ he barked inside his head. He could easily move away and get up from his bed, right? So why did he find it hard to do so?!
His body was reacting on its own whenever he was near her, and he did not like it that he was losing control over his body. "Ugh," he closed his eyes and struggled to sleep.
Tyrone was stuck in this position and gave up on the idea of trying to pull away from her. Doing so would just make tighten her grip around him, and that would further lead Tyrone down this slippery path.
It was why he had already decided that it was not a good idea to entangle himself with her in any way at all. However, it was unavoidable. This woman would be his doom if he wouldn’t do something about it soon.
Raine’s scent was so intoxicating. Something inside of him was wanting her. It was too difficult to control, but he still managed to do so. He could still handle it... He ended up inhaling and exhaling several times as he calmed his body down.
He fell into deep thought, thinking about a lot of random things to distract himself from the temptation beside him while chanting a mantra. Fortunately, he successfully dozed off despite the great fight and struggle he had with his own body.
As the man drifted off to slumber, it was there that the princess awakened.
Raine’s eyes flickered open when she confirmed Tyrone was already asleep. The sound of his breathing stabilized. He was no longer muttering a chant to himself.
Raine smirked a little at the cute sight before her. She breathed in deeply as she took in the man’s subtle fragrance, taking note of what seemed to be a cool scent that may have come from the man’s shampoo or body wash. Once she was fully awake, she lifted her head and rested her palm underneath her chin.
