Love Slave to the Ma Chapter 54: Punishing Kiss

Hayden’s lips pressed against mine firmly and I surrendered to him completely. Finally, I could see a glimpse of his feelings. His lips on mine were warm but it wasn’t gentle. His kiss deepened suddenly, his tongue parted my lips and plunged deep into my mouth. I let him taste

and punish

with his kiss.

The warmth of his lips on mine, his tongue inside my mouth and his body so close to , reminded

that he was here with

and that the was still alive. I was scared of him, but I couldn’t deny the sense of relief that flooded my heart and ward my body.

Hayden’s kiss beca more demanding as his tongue grinded against mine, making

moan and whimper into his mouth. His hands caressed my waist before pulling

closer to him until our bodies were pressed up tightly against each other. He’s so warm.

I didn’t know what I was thinking or what made

do it but before I knew what was happening to , I began kissing him back. Lifting my arms up, I wound my arms around his neck and pulled him down closer to

so that I could kiss him back. I felt Hayden stiffening a little in surprise at my initiating action.

Hayden stared deep into my eyes when our kiss ended, and I didn’t look away. Before I lost my courage or the craziness inside of , I had to do it now. I placed a hand on his cheek as I looked back into his captivating blue eyes. These are the eyes of a monster…

"Thank you…for saving , Hayden," I said, aning every word.

I never knew that thanking soone could be this hard or this touching before. For a mont, I believed that ti could co to a pause and that if it could, it would feel just like this. After those honest words left my lips, I felt exposed and vulnerable. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t read the few flickers of emotions that registered in Hayden’s clear blue eyes.

It was very late at night and not a soul or a car passed by as we stood there kissing each other in front of the building. The wind blew by, fluttering my long hair all around . It really felt like there was just the two of us alone in the world.

I watched Hayden closely as he watched . It seed as if he was about to say sothing but decided against it. Instead, his hands slowly approached my face. I felt his hand cupping the side of my face before the pad of his thumb gently stroked my cheek as if wiping sothing away. That was the first ti that I realized the wetness of my own tears on my cheeks. Since when had I started crying?

The tears that stread down my cheeks as he kissed

ardently was enough proof for

that I could never escape Hayden. It was simple now that I thought about it. Today, Hayden got hurt, but the one that was crying and feeling so much more pain…was .

I couldn’t tear my eyes away from him no matter how hard I tried. My eyes were glued to his every movent as I watched Hayden bring his wet thumb up to his lips. Then his pink tongue slipped out from between his beautiful lips and began licking my tears from the pad of his thumb. All the while, his blue eyes stared at

intently.

"Hayden…" I called his na in a hushed whisper.

Hayden had bent down and scooped

up effortlessly into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he carried

princess-style into the building and into the elevator. I glanced at his face as I worried if he should be carrying

like this when he’s hurt. However, his face was as emotionless as always.

I wondered if it hurts and then I guessed that it probably did, so I didn’t dare to ask…

…

Hayden opened the door to the penthouse with a loud slam that would have woken up anyone who happened to be on the sa floor as us. Thankfully, we were the only ones on the top floor of this building. With long strides, Hayden headed straight for the bedroom. My body stiffened when he past the door to my bedroom and headed to his room instead.

"Umm…my…room…" I whispered as he walked past my room without as much as glancing at the door.

I sighed to myself as I realized that Hayden had decided to take

to his room and that no matter what I said, he probably wouldn’t change his mind. Hayden closed the door to his bedroom behind him and locked it firmly before carrying

to his bed. I wanted to scream but realized that it would probably not get

anywhere…

I bet if I glanced up on the ceiling of his bedroom right now, I would see a bright red sign in flashing lights saying: ’Punishnt Ti’.

I let out a cry when Hayden dumped

onto this bed. The softness of the mattress pressed against my back, and I tried to sit up a little. My body felt sore and tired from all that had happened. This night was proving to be a very long one.

Surprisingly, Hayden did not follow

onto the bed. Instead, he grabbed a chair and brought it next to the bed and sat down on it. All the while, his blue eyes continued to watch

intently. I wondered what he was thinking and what he was feeling…if anything.

The silence was suffocating as I watched him sit there with his hands hanging loosely in between his knees as he watched . If he wanted to say sothing to , I wished that he would just say it.

"Hayden?" I called out his na questioningly. My voice shaking a lot more than I had thought that it would.
