171 In His Arms

“Co to bed, Elena. Should I help you dry your hair?” he offered with a teasing smile.

“No, you don’t need to. You should just go to sleep…” I muttered.

“How can I possibly go to bed before my princess?” EROS asked teasingly.

His beautiful hand patted the empty spot on my bed as he smiled charmingly. I rolled my eyes at him before making my way to the bed and sitting down on it. I had no idea why I was suddenly in a bad mood as I reached for my hair dryer and began drying my hair. EROS leaned his head on one of his hands as he watched with intense interest as if he had never seen a woman drying her hair before.

I should have known that because he turned up without anything packed that he would be sleeping pretty much naked with for the night. Of course, I didn’t have any n’s clothes or pajamas that would fit EROS on hand that I could offer to him.

“Your hair is quite long…” he murmured as his hand reached toward my hair.

I felt his fingers capture a strand of my hair before he began twirling it around his finger absentmindedly. The more ti I spent with him, the more I felt like it was very difficult for to understand him. Even now that we were both on the bed together, I still wasn’t quite sure why exactly EROS was adamant about spending the night with .

“I’m not having sex with you until you get that concert out of the way…” I muttered as I turned to narrow my eyes at him suspiciously.

“I never said anything about us having sex tonight, did I?” he countered with a small laugh.

.....

He let go of my hair and laid on his back on the bed and it truly felt like he belonged right there on my bed. EROS looked very comfortable and ready to call it a night. I might have been overthinking things but I didn’t feel like I was the one that was to bla.

“So, you’re really just going to sleep?” I asked before I could stop myself.

I couldn’t help but ask because what he was doing truly wasn’t at all like him. Despite my repeated questions, EROS did not make a move to get any closer to .

“I’m giving it a try…” EROS said before his lips curved into a very beautiful and peaceful smile.

“Right. Good night, then…” I mumbled.

After switching off the lights, the room was quite dark and all that I could make out were vague outlines. I could feel EROS’s presence very close to on the bed and that only worked to make my heart race in my chest. I should have known that I would be uncomfortable sharing the sa bed as EROS for the night even if it wasn’t the first ti that we were sleeping together. Suddenly, it felt extrely strange for us to just sleep side by side without doing anything that was sexual.

It wasn’t like I was expecting or yearning for his passionate embrace but no matter what my wild heartbeat refused to calm down. I wondered what EROS was thinking and what he was feeling. It didn’t help that I couldn’t see his face in the dark. The room was suddenly plagued in silence, and I wondered if he had already fallen asleep by my side. The only sound that I could hear so clearly was the sound of my own heartbeat ringing in my ears.

How am I supposed to fall asleep like this?

If EROS had thought that coming here would help sleep well at night, he was so mistaken. Although he didn’t seem to have any ulterior motives or bad intentions, his presence close to on the bed made feel so on edge. I wasn’t sure how long I suffered with my own thoughts in the dark before I felt the bed shifting under .

“Can’t go to sleep?” EROS asked knowingly.

I couldn’t see him clearly, but I could tell that he had turned to sleep on his side, and he was now facing . His face must have been very close to mine because I started to make out the outlines of his face. His body slled of my soap from his shower earlier. The bed shifted under us again and I felt his body so close to mine that we were touching.

“EROS…” I murmured his na.

“I just want to hold you. It’ll help you go to sleep if I hug you, right?” he suggested.

EROS didn’t wait for my agreent before he pulled into his arms and held . It felt natural for to rest my head on his shoulders as he held my body against his. His body felt so warm against mine and I could feel his calm heartbeat.

“You’re so close…” I mumbled my slight complaint.

“Isn’t that the whole point?” he replied with a chuckle.

My body stiffened a little in his arms when I felt the slight pressure of his hand pressing up against the back of my head and then his fingers were running through my hair. His large hand stroking my hair helped to relax and soon I started to feel extrely comfortable in his arms.

“I think you’re quite cute like this. It feels like I’m petting a large cat…” he whispered close to .

“I’m not a cat…” I muttered as I felt myself blushing.

Thankfully, it was dark, and I didn’t have to worry about EROS seeing my reactions to his words or what he was doing to .

“I know that…” he said with an amused chuckle.

His hand did not stop stroking my hair and it didn’t take long before his hand moved downwards to stroke my back. I let out a soft moan at the sensation of his touch along my back. It felt so relaxing to be caressed leisurely like this.
