Chapter 270: Come Closer

When was the last time that things felt this awkward between us when we were alone together?

What should I say to him now?

While I was thinking about what I should say to him, Hayden walked over to the bed and sat down on it. He looked more mentally tired than physically tired, and I wondered what was on his troubled mind. I watched him take in a few deep breaths while I hesitated about what to do.

"Come here," Hayden spoke up abruptly.

His words snapped me out of my thoughts, and I realized that he wanted me to go to him. I slowly approached the bed where he was sitting, and I could feel his eyes on my face before his gaze trialed down my body.

"Hayden…" I called his name softly when I stood in front of him.

"Come closer," he instructed as his hands reached out to grab my arms and pulled me closer to him.

The force of his pull pulled me a big step forward until I was standing right in between his legs. His arms were around my body and my eyes widened when he pulled me into a firm hug. His arms around my back tightened as he buried his head against the spot right below my chest. Instinctively, I lifted my hands up and began cradling his head.

Hayden took deep and steady breaths as if he was breathing me in, and I could feel his body starting to relax in my arms. I stroked his soft blond hair with one hand while I hugged him with my other arm.

We stayed silently like that for a while. I could be wrong, but it seemed like he needed some comforting and that was what I willingly gave him. I stayed still in his arm as we continued to hug each other. It felt like it had been such a long time since I’ve last seen him and held him like this. His body felt warm close to mine, and it made me realize just how much I really missed him.

"What did Harvey say to you?" Hayden asked with his face still buried against my skin.

Well, Harvey told me many things, so I wasn’t sure what Hayden wanted to know about specifically. There wasn’t anything that seemed very important, though. Was the part about what I wanted for my future and for Hayden’s future important?

"Well, he told me a few things about when you were young. You know, when we were going through the photos of you when you were young…" I replied.

"And?" Hayden prompted as he gazed up at me with captivating blue eyes.

I missed his eyes. Although Harvey’s eyes were pretty much the same color, the feeling I got when I looked into them were completely different from when I’m staring deeply into Hayden’s eyes. It was so easy for me to get lost in the depth of his eyes.

"Well, nothing much…" I replied, not quite sure how to tell Hayden about the ’thinking about the future’ part of our conversation.

Slowly, his arms loosened from around my body before his hands started sliding down the side of my body. His eyes watched mine and I could see that he was completely unconvinced with my answer. It wasn’t like I could tell me that I was thinking of our future together when I wasn’t even sure if he even wanted to have a future with me. Our relationship was just very complicated.

His hands caressed the sides of my waist softly before dipping lower to caress the sides of my hips. All the while his eyes continued to watch my face and it took a lot of effort for me to keep myself from moaning of whimpering from the heat of his seductive touches. It’s been so long since he’s touched me like this, and my body was undoubtedly craving for his touch and much more.

"You’re a terrible liar…" Hayden murmured softly as his hands held my shirt and began lifting it upwards.

"Hayden…" I whispered his name when I realized what he was about to do.

"Lift your arms," he instructed casually as he began pulling my shirt upwards even further.

I quickly did as I was told before his mood would turn sour. My shirt flew off over my head in one swift motion before it fell to the floor next to the bed.

"Ah…Hayden…" I let out a moan before moaning his name.

Hayden did not waste any time in paying attention to my now exposed upper body. His hands were immediately on my naked stomach, stroking it softly and teasingly. I sucked in a breath and held it as my body began reacting to him. His hands felt very warm on my naked skin as he stroked his way from my belly to cup my breasts.

"You shouldn’t listen too much to Harvey. He’s very good at brainwashing people," Hayden warned sternly as his large hands began massaging my breasts through my bra.

The pressure of his hands on my soft womanly flesh felt amazingly pleasurable and I couldn’t wait to feel the heat of his palms on the sensitive skin of my breasts directly. I moaned softly before biting my lower lip to keep myself from moaning even louder. Hayden’s striking blue eyes watched my every reaction while his hands continued to knead my breasts.

I was so lost in the pleasure of his touches that I didn’t know what to say to him.

"What else did Harvey tell you?" Hayden asked again.

"He…ahh…" I began but a loud moan escaped my lips before I could say anything else.

Hayden had slipped his hands underneath my bra to cup my breasts directly after pushing my bra upwards. The heat of his hand seeped into my cool skin, and I felt my body heat up at his touch. His large hands massaged my breasts expertly. His touch wasn’t gentle, and the force of his hands felt rough but I couldn’t get enough of his touch. My nipples were already so hard that they hurt.

His eyes watched me as my body started squirming from the blissful pleasure.
