Chapter 42
I took my phone from the handbag and dialled his number; my heart was pounding against my ribcage making me very nervous. After a few rings, he answered,
“Clarissa?” He said through the phone,
“I… I want to know when you’re coming home,” I said while placing a hand on my raised chest.
“I will be there in a minute,” He said while chuckling a bit which made me blush,
“O-Okay,” I shuddered and hung up on him,
I controlled my breathing and smiled while shaking my head, “Stupid,” I hit my head with my hand while walking towards the bed. I waited anxiously for him; I couldn’t wait to ask him.
What will you ask him? Is Juliette your submissive or lover? Jesus! You are an idiot Clarissa! My subconscious yelled at me.
What if he doesn’t tell me about her? What if he doesn’t have any feelings for me? What will I do? My chain of thoughts was broken when I heard footsteps coming towards my room, I quickly pulled my cover over me and closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep.
I could hear the door of my room, opening and footsteps coming towards my bed.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
What are you doing? get up! My subconscious yelled, I tried my best to control my breathing but it was becoming hard when I felt his presence beside me and the heat radiating from his body. He hands pushed the strands of my hair off my fair and I could feel his gaze on my face and his fingers tracing my bare shoulder which made my breath fasten and arose my hidden desire for him. His hot breath hit my neck and when his wet lips connected my skin a bolt of electricity shot over my body,
“I know you’re awake,” he whispered against my skin.
How did he know? Jesus!
I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him to see him smiling at me, “Get up,” He said sweetly,
I slowly sat up and turned towards him, he pulled me to him and I climbed on his lap while wrapping my legs around his waist. He looked down at me with a smile playing on his lips, “How was your day?” he asked while pushing my head up with his finger meeting my eyes.
“Good,” I replied and tried hard to not blush,
“How’s your day?” I asked looking at his handsome face,
“It was fine,” He replied and claimed my lips, he kissed me softly placing his hand at the back of my neck, supporting my head. He pulled away and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.
“Have you had your dinner yet?” he asked, tracing my lower lip with his thumb.
“N-no,” I said slowly with a shaky breath.
His expression changed into an angry one, “Why?” he asked while his eyes furrowed and there was concern in his voice.
“I-I was waiting for you,” I replied, he smiled at me and kissed my cheek.
“Let’s go,” he said and I got up from his lap and climbed down the bed, he took hold of my hand and we walked downstairs.
We had a silent dinner, while we were having dinner my eyes took in his attire today, he just wore a button-down black shirt and jeans. He looked hot and my throat dried looking at his toned muscles and chest.
As we walked to the living room, I turned to him and took a deep breath before calling him, “Apollo?”
“Yes,” he turned to me while sitting on the sofa, I sat opposite to him on the couch.
“I want to ask you something!” I said carefully, looking at his face.
“Please,” he said gesturing his hand at me,
“I want t-to kn-know about Ju-Juliette,” I shuddered and when he heard her name there was some change in his features which made me a bit nervous. All of sudden, he groaned and the nerves on his neck popped out. He looked hurt and his eyes were shut now. He shifted on the sofa and the way he was sitting changed which made me alert. My eyes took the way He was sitting, he was sitting with his back straight with legs apart, his legs were planted to the floor and he folded his hands over his chest.
I tried to recall the way Cyrus sat that day, he doesn’t sit like this, he puts his right leg over his left and he puts his one hand over his chest and another one on it. I gulped hard and sat straight, making myself ready to run from here if something goes wrong.
I was scared, Apollo doesn’t sit like this nor do Cyrus, who is this then? Is there on more personality? Jesus Christ! What should I do now?
He opened his eyes, when I saw the look on his face it confirmed my thoughts, this wasn’t either of them! His eyebrows furrowed; his lips formed into a thin line which looked very intimidating. The way he was sitting and his facial expression, the way he was looking at me made me shiver with fear.
“Wh-who are yo-you?” I asked with utter fear,
His eyes roomed on my face before he spoke,
“Shade,” he said with a very husky and rumbling voice which was different from others.
Oh my god!
