Chapter 209: His Superpowers.
Arissa clenched his shirt tightly from little fear. He wasn’t replying and she feared she would go to bed again and rest on with nightmares until dawn.
He might not be able to do much. She knows he has no superpowers for taking her nightmares away but something in her believes he could and the side of her that believed bargained deal with her doubting side.
"Nicklaus," she whispered his name, "I just want a few minutes of your time," she told him.
Nicklaus stared down at her. She demanded a few minutes with him, but what she don’t know was if she would let him in, he would love a lifetime with her.
He leaned closer to her face. Her lips parted on their own accord and a tingling sensation washed over her. His face came closer and as evidence of how intimate their faces were, his hot breath began to fan her face.
Arissa shut her eyes in expectation for his lips to seal hers. Adding to one more shocker of the day, rather than feeling his lips on her lips she felt his lips on her closed eyelids.
It wasn’t a rushed kiss, he kissed both of her eyelids and placed the third one on the crown of her head. His actions left her heart trembling. She felt nothing lustful from the kisses.
Surprisingly, all she felt was care and comfort. The raw feeling in her heart towards him blossomed the more. Her body tensed up when the feeling rushed through her.
Nicklaus pulled her in protectively and buried his nose in the niche of her neck. "Don’t be all tensed, the nightmare is gone and you are back to reality,"
Her nightmare troubled him. Once when he was in her room, he experienced how she struggled from her sleep, and now again she had another nightmare.
"I_" Arissa was cut off by a crumbling sound from her stomach.
