“Nile, wait. Stop.” My hand automatically pressed against his chest to stop him from kissing me. His eyebrows furrowed. He was eyeing me in curiosity. “I’m- I’m tired. Can we… can we not do it now?” I said through pants. Nile only nodded in understanding. The Nile I know would’ve done it anyway but he knew I just got better and I made it as an excuse. He kissed my cheek, lingering it for more than a few seconds before hugging me tightly in his arms. He closed his eyes and buried his head in between my shoulder and neck inhaling my scent right away. I stilled. “You’re going to sleep here.” Although my statement was more of a question. “This is my room. Where else will I sleep?” He murmured in response. He was starting to fall asleep so I resisted another argument.
