Chapter 57: Hypnotized*
The rays of the sun radiated through the glass window, brightening the room where Xander and Yera slept with warm and natural glow. This was the first time both of them had woken up late since none of them had managed to fall asleep straight away last night from trying their best to control their desires for each other.
They ended up sleeping facing each other, while their legs and arms are intertwined into a tangle position.
Xander was the one who first opened his eyes. He smiled upon seeing Yera’s beautiful face, which was only inches away from him. He did not even dare breathe or move, afraid that he would put an end to their current intimate sleeping position.
’It feels nice,’ he rejoiced as he savored the pleasant feeling that he was having at that moment.
He was only controlling himself for one reason; he wanted to have Yera’s heart first, and he knew her body would follow. He had set his mind and body to only take her when she was ready and willing to give all of her to him. He praised himself for being patient, for who would have thought the one and only Xander Yang could be this patient for a woman? Rui was right; his feelings for Yera had escalated to more than just a sense of fondness.
Xander saw Yera’s eyelids flinch, so he immediately closed his eyes to pretend that he was still asleep.
Yera opened her eyes and was shocked to see how she had managed to entwine herself around Xander. She pursed her lips and stared at Xander quietly. There was a debate going on between her mind and her body at that moment. She was not too sure of it herself, but her body did not seem to want to break free from its entanglement with Xander’s body, while her mind was urging her to move away from the bed immediately.
She released a conflicted sigh while still staring at Xander’s handsome face. She could feel that she was changing every time she was with Xander. She hated to admit it, but the contrast was remarkably noticeable. She was becoming more and more attached to him, not only physically, but also emotionally.
But then again, how could she not? Xander was treating her so well that she would often think she had gone insane from losing Bernard, and Xander was just an imaginary man that she conjured up in her mind as a form of coping mechanism.
