Chapter 276: Secret Attention

His hand began stroking my back up and down and a soft moan escaped my lips. Hayden chuckled teasingly close to my ear as he enjoyed my reaction to his tender caresses. I guess my desperate prayers were answered because Hayden seemed to be in an unusually good mood. I wondered what had happened to initiate such a change in him.

Honestly, I didn’t mind not knowing as long as he continued to treat me so lovingly. His hand slid lower from my back to trace the curve of my waist before proceeding even lower to stroke the curve of my hips and then my buttocks.

My body started squirming against his in response to his seductive caresses as my moans got louder by the second. If this continues, we’ll probably end up doing it again although we’ve just had sex last night. His touches on my body quickly got bolder and my breathing started coming out as shallow pants as desire started to cloud my mind.

"Hayden…" I whimpered his name sweetly.

Suddenly, the sound of a very familiar ringtone cut through the peaceful silence of the room. I didn’t know whether to curse at the bad timing or to count myself as lucky and spared when Hayden’s phone started ringing. He normally would put the phone on silent, so I wasn’t sure if he had simply forgotten or if he had decided to keep the sound on purpose. Regardless, the result was the same.

Hayden’s hands left my turned-on body and began reaching for his phone while I took in deep breaths to calm the fire that was raging in my throbbing core.

"What do you want?" Hayden spoke through the phone once the line connected.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

I couldn’t hear the person on the other side of the line but the annoyance in Hayden’s tone was as plain as day.

"I don’t really care what you decide to do," Hayden said coldly.

There was a pause as Hayden seemed to be listening to what the other person was saying. Whatever that person was saying, Hayden didn’t seem to like it. After a moment of silence, Hayden sighed, and I could feel the bed shifting as he sat up on the bed. Feeling slightly panicked, I also sat up in bed next to Hayden.

"It’s not safe. I won’t allow it," Hayden said without hesitation.

I had no idea what he was talking about or who he was talking to. My eyes widened in the dark as curiosity flooded my braincells in wonder. What won’t he allow? What wasn’t safe? Safe for who or what?

"I can’t exactly stop you so do whatever you want," Hayden said emotionlessly before he hung up the phone.

A thudding sound sounded, and I realized that Hayden had tossed his phone somewhere before he got out of bed. Hayden was clearly not in the mood to finish what he had just started, and I knew better than to ask him about that phone call just now. His focus had completely shifted and soon the light flooded the room.

Hayden was still completely naked, and my eyes focused on the beautiful muscles of his back when my eyes had adjusted to the bright light. I sat up in bed with the covers still covering my naked body as my eyes travelled down his back to admire his beautiful and firm buttocks. He’s so beautiful. Even his ass is beautiful.

"Harvey called," Hayden said passively without turning to face me.

My mouth hung open and I was immediately thankful that he did not turn around to see my dumbfounded expression. Did he just tell me about the phone call? I didn’t even have to ask, not that I had any fancy plans to ask him about it.

"I see…" I mumbled, still in shock.

"I don’t have any clothes down here…shit…" Hayden complained before swearing as he paced around the room naked.

He was right. He didn’t have any clothes down here.

"Can you get Auntie or one of the maids to deliver some of your clothes?" I suggested.

"No. No one has access to this floor and this room except for my father, Harvey and me," Hayden replied as he flexed his neck from side to side.

If that’s the case, then…

"Who’s been delivering me food all this time?" I asked cluelessly.

I had always thought that it was the maids but if they didn’t have access to this room then…

It couldn’t be…

"Did you deliver my food?" I asked after coming to the only plausible conclusion.

I couldn’t quite see Harvey or the boss delivering my meals to me, so the only option left after going through the process of elimination was Hayden.

"It was quite entertaining to see your disappointed look each time you came out to wheel the trolley inside," Hayden teased.

"So, you…really delivered my meals?" I asked still in completely disbelief.

"Don’t worry, I didn’t cook or prepare it," Hayden said with a small laugh.

That wasn’t the point at all. Three meals were delivered to me daily starting with breakfast, lunch and then ending with dinner. If Hayden delivered those meals to me then, he must have been here somewhere close by all day long?

"You didn’t go to work?" I asked with sudden realization.

"I need to get some clothes…" Hayden muttered, ignoring my question.

While I was struggling with how to feel about the fact that Hayden had somehow been taking care of me secretly while I was locked up in here, Hayden had picked up his phone and had started calling someone.

"Bring me some clothes," Hayden said emotionlessly into the phone.

If only three people could access this place, then he’s probably calling Harvey. After all, I didn’t think that Hayden would call his father to deliver him some clothes.

"They won’t realize if you don’t say too much to them. Just go to my bedroom and get me some clothes," Hayden demanded before hanging up.

"Will it really be ok for Harvey to walk around the mansion?" I asked, feeling a little worried.
