(Chapter 10)

Syha

Awaking somewhere later in the night, or maybe the beginning of dawn, I realize I am still holding Araan as he sleeps peacefully. But the sight before me has heat surging all over my body and my stomach tightens.

Araan has somehow gotten my bra cups down in his sleep and his lips are dangerously close to my nipples. I can feel his light stubble on my breasts and his hot breath fanning the skin, and one of his hands is placed right on my left boob. My throat dries up as I swallow hard.

Though I should probably pull away from him to avoid any awkward situation, I don't have it in me to separate him from me when he looks so freaking adorable. Also, we both have shared our fantasies about this days ago. But it was before Araan freaked out about being intimate. I don't know if he still wants me that way.

Being very careful, I take his hand and put it away and attempt to fix my bra when he suddenly stirs and buries his face right between my breasts.

Fucking hell. I'm sure I have forgotten how to breathe, not to mention the tightness increasing in my stomach. My heart's all but pounding in my ears as shudders run all over me.

So, I opt for the next best option.

"Araan." I softly call, combing through his hair to wake him up. "I need to use the washroom."

He groans but doesn't let go and I swear I feel him sniffing as if taking inhales of air from my skin.

As much as the action is endearing and arousing, I need to stop him from doing something unconsciously that would embarrass him while conscious. I can't risk ruining our progress.

"Come on, love. I gotta go." I finally manage to pull away and thankfully he remains asleep. Fixing my bra, I scurry off to the washroom.

My face's all flushed as I splash water on my skin, taking deep breaths to easy my racing heart.

While comforting Araan, I didn't pay attention to my own emotions but it actually hurts to think something or maybe someone has hurt Araan enough to make him pull away from me. There's still a blur barrier between us and I don't know how to solve or break it down.

Calming myself, I return to our room and gasp seeing Araan sitting on the bed and rubbing his eyes tiredly. Even if he had slept the whole night, he still looks tired and it breaks my heart

"Hey." I have put on an oversized shirt after discarding my bra. I look at the clock and it's only 5 am, we can sleep for a couple more hours before work.

"Where'd you go?" He mumbles through a yawn. I chuckle, approaching the bed and sitting down next to him.

"Needed to use to the washroom. Go back to sleep, we still have time." I assure.

He stares at me through his sleepy eyes, flickering them down to my chest briefly while licking his lips. Damn.

"I-I-" he sutters over his words and my face almost catches fire as I begin to comprehend what he wants to say or ask.

"Araan," I start in a gentle tone, "We shouldn't do anything we are not ready for. Especially you. I said before and I'm telling you again, I am willing to wait. Just go back to sleep."

"But I want them." He blurts out and my eyes widen, heart racing once again.

But he doesn't look at all embarrassed or hesitant, in fact, his eyes visibly darken and he licks his lips again, "I - I have never slept that good in years." He admits coyly. "Can I?" He asks after a small pause.

Butterflies fill my tummy and I find myself nodding. His gaze sparkles and I slowly lay back down. Welcoming him.

"Is it okay if you remove the shirt?"

Without hesitation, I pull the shirt over my head and he visibly gulps at the sight of my bare boobs as they bounce out.

I smirk inwardly. He's behaving like he hadn't touched them till I released just a few days ago. So innocent.

"C'mere." I urge and he obliged happily. He lays down and gently buries his face in my breasts, inhaling sharply and the action causes goosebumps to rise all over my skin.

He wraps his arms around my stomach like last night and nuzzles my chest and I press a small kiss on the top of his head. I expected him to just use them as pillows and take the comfort from the action only. But what I did not expect was for him to suddenly part his lips and take my nipple into his warm mouth.

"Fuck." I hiss out before I can stop myself as my whole body tenses momentarily.

He pulls away and looks up at me through his lashes, damn well knowing the things this does to me. "Is it okay?" He asks in a low, raspy voice.

Finding my breath back, I nod softly and stroke his hair, encouraging him. He smiles lightly and takes my nipple again, and my eyes fall close. I try to regulate my breathing and feel the sensation of his mouth on one of my most sensitive parts. He has his eyes closed and the way he's sucking so eagerly it almost feels like he's getting something out of them and my heart warms. I relax immediately.

Araan falls asleep within a minute, his suckles slowing down but the giddy sensation of his mouth on my breast makes my insides quiver and with a new found excitement I realize that I am loving this more than I expected to. The peace this small action gave him, it provided me with twice as much contentment.

After planting one more kiss to his head, I adjust the blanket over our bodies, I slowly lay down. I set the alarm for an hour later and do not pull my breast away from him, deciding to just fall asleep to this new yet comforting feeling.
