Chapter 91: Have You Been Honest With Me?
Jules’ pov
Blaze was leaning against the headrest of the bed, and he had a brow arched as he regarded me silently.
"I... I am." I responded after a few moments, hating how my words stuttered a little and how my heartbeat was racing again.
He remained silent and as the seconds stretched out between us, so did my heartbeat accelerate even more. I felt uneasy and nervous as I stared down at my fingers.
As I bit on my bottom lip and glanced back at him, he motioned me over with a come hither motion and I crawled forward, hesitating a little before gingerly sliding across his laps.
His large hands settled on my hips, tugging me forward till our chest was pressed together. I let out a squeak, breath hitching in my throat and eyes widening as I tentatively wrapped my arms around his shoulders and rested my head against his shoulder, leaning into him even more.
We remained in that position for minutes, it felt so much like a hug. His arms had slid off my waist to completely wrap around my waist, holding me firmly against his chest, and my arms had somehow tightened around his shoulders.
I let out a long sigh and let my eyes fall close as I dragged in a deep breath, filling my lungs with his scent and wanting to be consumed by that scent.
"Bunny?"
I stopped breathing for a few seconds before slowly pulling away to stare into his eyes. My arms were still wrapped around his shoulders and there was barely any gap between us.
Blaze’s gaze was piercing as he regarded me some more before speaking.
