Chapter 65 - Sixty-five : A Dance With Danger

Maya's POV

For a good thirty minutes, deep uncontrollable sobs wracked my body and robbed my lungs of breath while his shirt was stained with my tears and snots.

I really thought he had used and left like the others. I had to admit it, I was scared to be lonely ; all my life the people I ever wanted never wanted and it was quite tiring to be honest.

It was like a cycle : I et people, we get incredibly along at first, I help them out, then they use and finally betray and it keeps repeating - I was definitely cursed. It made quite lonely cause I couldn't tell who I could relay on any longer .

But fate was real funny, it's gas were quite unpredictable and f*cked up . The only person who surprisingly hasn't betrayed so far is the only person I supposed should have left already.

Truth be told , when Nik made that mouthwatering proposal, I had only anticipated but not wholly trusted his words - I just thought, perhaps that's a fling in his own language moreover I wanted to stop being a good girl and indulge myself a bit.

The option was limited, it was either I plunge in deeply with Niklaus or succumb to the loneliness that has been snapping at my heels my entire life.

But fully trust his word? impossible! . After all this guy was soone who within the snap of his finger can have any lady of any height, weight, race and caliber on his bed - What was he lacking anyway? He had the looks, body and cash - everything most ladies wanted from a man - everything that would make their life comfortable.

And Christ ! Who knows whether the words he told were the sa as the words he told the thousands of ladies he had beded ; but then I didn't care, I wanted to dance with danger this ti - I was done being careful.

But unfortunately, things began to change or perhaps things weren't the way I thought it would be - Nik began to do things I would never imagine him doing to the extent I thought he was obsessed with .

I an, what guy would plunge headlong into cooking when he knows his fingers were in danger of being amputated? But him ?- that crazy rich boy was capable of doing it.

What guy out there was crazy enough to remove his lover out of her family's registry and threaten to destroy them, just because they laid a finger on her?

No one but Nik

I sighed in contentnt when I felt Nik rub his hand in a circular motion on my back and the other smoothing my hair, it had a soothing effect on .

When I tried to pull away from the hug he instead pressed closer to his body , murmuring firmly into my ears "Don't move. Let's just stay like this for a while "

So I complied with his command but our stance was reversed a bit this ti - Niklaus was now the one resting his face on my shoulder while my arms enveloped his lean hips.

The scene was so romantic that I wished a cara was here to capture this exotic mont : Two figures standing with body pressed against each other as the silvery moonlight filtered in through so open parts of the gazebo surrounding them in a hazy shimr with the tantalizing smile of roses blooming all around the garden.

This scene reminded specifically of that song :

Place - park, scene - dark

Silvery moon is shining through the trees

Cast - two, - you

Sumr kisses floating on the breeze

Act one, be done

Dialog - where would ya like to spoon?

My cue, with you

Underneath the silvery moon

By the light of the silvery moon

I want to spoon

To my honey I'll croon love's tune

Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June

Your silvery beams will bring love's dreams We'll be cuddlin' soon by the silvery moon

But the romance was killed the mont I felt him slouch against my body , his whole weight now resting on almost bringing us both to the ground.

" Niklaus " I called and shook him but there was no response instead his soft, even and relaxed breath ward the back of my neck and I stiffened.

At first I was too stunned to respond until I realized indeed, Niklaus was sleeping on my shoulder.

I sucked in a cold breath and let it out slowly, trying to think on how I was going to get him inside the house.

My battery had already died thanks to my obsessive search for the engagent news and checking on the ti for Nik's return.

Non of the security guards who took turns in guiding the mansion were anywhere near the garden and no amount of shaking awoke the sleeping Beauty.

I realized at once the universe was set on f*cking today .

In the end, I ended up half carrying and half dragging Niklaus into the house and thankfully Amanda t halfway through the journey.

But because we sure couldn't carry Niklaus up the stairs leading to his room - my waist would definitely snap in two - So Nik ended up in my room.

I breathed in relief while stretching my body. God, my body was aching. I'm going to need my painkillers later.

I simply changed Nik out of his shoes and shirt - He likes sleeping bare and besides ,today was quite hot - while giving an avenue to stare at his hot , well toned abs to my satisfaction without interruption or fear of being caught - I was definitely drooling at the sight.

Snap out of it Maya ! , I slapped my cheek to arouse from my useless fantasy - I had literally used my eyes to strip the poor guy.

"You lewd girl " I hit my head with my palm twice and tore my eyes away from his yummylicious abs reluctantly.

Squatting down beside the bed, I watched him sleep and I had to admit his features looked soft and incredibly cute unlike his usual stoic expression when awake.

My hand moved of its own volition to his hair but my palm brushed across his forehead in the process causing my face to scrunch up - he was having a fever.

That was when I realized how flushed his face looked at the mont.

Honestly, I was quite surprised; Niklaus was amongst the healthiest and strongest people I've ever known. Seeing him this weak and vulnerable made realize he was still the sa as I am : Flesh and blood.

I grabbed my first-aid kit and took his temperature with the thermoter, he was having a fever of about 40.5 Celsius.

I fed him paracetamol which I literally shoved down his throat cause he clamped his teeth so tight I couldn't get access to the inside of his mouth - I think he bit my finger in the process.

But the problem was solved the mont I kissed him and was granted imdiate access - yeah, I know what you're thinking, been there.

So I used my tongue to guide it down his throat and fed him lots of fluids with the sa thod.

So I , Maya, spent the rest of the night sponging his exposed skin with tepid water amidst checking his temperature until it went down.
