His Billion-Dollar Obsession

COLD SHOWER

Chapter 9: COLD SHOWER

Zorin's POV

She still sleeps with her mouth open and legs wide apart.

Usually, my eyes would have followed the drool on her cheek down to her neck, I'd have made a video laughing and hoping to troll her with it. But today, my eyes went a little lower. Okay, not a little.

My eyes were trained on her chest, I have never been a lover of boobs but now, I can't get my eyes off hers. Off the girl I've sworn to protect with my life, funny how I've already come up with 101 ways to ruin her perfectly petite body.

"I think I need a cold shower" I whisper as I run my hand over my hair for the umpteenth time.

Two steps away and I hear her voice "Zorin..."

She was already sitting up, was she watching me watch her? The thought of that made me grin, a wicked grin if I may add.

"Yes, Lu?"

"I'm... I'm scared"

Of all nights to speak to me in that voice, she chose the night that I was thinking with my d**k. I shouldn't go close to her, not at all. I wasn't exactly the safe space she thinks I am.

I'm no longer the innocent 8-year-old boy who would cuddle her up at nighttime, I wanted to rip off her nighties, get her in sexy lingerie, kneeling and looking up at me while sucking my fingers.

"Did something happen?" Ignoring my brain, I followed my d**k and sat up next to her on the bed. "You've never..."

"Exactly Zorin!" She cuts me off, "I'd never admit that I'm scared to anyone, but..." Her voice went quieter, "I'm really scared, last night..."

My eyes trailed down once more, watching how her t**s move along with her chest as they move up and down.

I could feel my d**k twitch through my pants, I balled my fist a little, fighting so hard to compose myself.

"Are you ready to tell me about last night?"

But she shook her head, and for a second that made me ball my fists tighter, this time from anger.

"There is a huge bruise on your leg..." I started, maintaining eye contact with her, "You've refused to go home, the cleaner has already reported to River, that you've not been home for days."

Instinctively, I pulled her close till there was almost no space between us, "and you hate my ass so much, yet here you are refusing to leave my bed"

"So I'd ask you one last time, Lu," my voice dropped. "Who hurt you?"

I could feel the fear in her, the way her body trembled lightly;, I hated that she was trembling for the wrong reason. She should be trembling from trying to take the length of me.

She opened her mouth and closed it repeatedly but couldn't make a sound. And with the way I was staring at her lips and sexualising almost every innocent action, I was so sure the night would end with very painful blue balls.

"You are insane, Zorin" she pulled herself away from me, I could see her quickly blinking back tears. "I'm fine. I just had a nightmare"

I wasn't having that nonsense, I drew her closer once more, grabbing her arm.

"I made you a promise, Lu. I told you I would never let them have you, that I'll protect you with everything in me. If you won't tell me and if you keep running away from me, I'll keep giving you reasons to run back to me, Lumi."

Her eyes widened as she finally let those tears out

"Them? Are they back?"

"Is anyone hurting you?"

That made both of us quiet, we were both keeping things from each other.

"If those people from ten years ago were back, then this isn't some deranged ex-boyfriend turned stalker kind of danger. It was a bullet-filled, tying to the stake kind of danger."

"Stalking?" I asked, but instead she looked away from me

"You both never say anything to me. You keep leaving me in the dark, every damn time!"

"I won't let anyone hurt you"

"You can't protect me!"

" I will! In every possible way, even if it's unconventional, even if it's not acceptable. I'll protect you in my own ways, because you're mine and no other man gets the luxury of having you, Lumi"

No other words were exchanged, and she lay quietly on the bed. It's finally time for that cold shower.

"Goodnight" I whispered kissing her forehead.

She turned over, "Why are you leaving?"

I wasn't going to explain the fact that I needed to goon to a fabricated memory of her moaning my name, so I just smiled and said, "To shower, it's a very hot night"

Her sudden laughter wiped the small smile from my face as I raised a brow while watching her body tremble from laughter.

"I don't think a cold shower is going to help you at this point" she manages to squeeze out while still laughing hard.

My gaze snapped to my very visible bulge, well f**k!

"It's..."

"Let me help you with that" she cuts me off.

My eyes immediately darken at her request, I wanted nothing but to have her fingers wrapped around the length of me, I wanted her so bad.

I couldn't make out a word, and my restraint was failing me. She drew closer to me and was only a kiss away

I watched her want me, I watched her eyes cloud with something other than defiance and mischief. It was clouded with desire, at this point I was convinced she wanted me too, not as much as I wanted her tho.

"River..."

She cuts me off by placing her finger on my lips. "It's miles away..."

The woman whom I've always wanted to have, to please, to ruin was right here, yet I was holding back. As much as I want to ruin her, I also want to keep her away from danger, from myself.

Who knows how much longer my restraint will last, because with everything inside of me, I wanted nothing more than to take her right here, right now.

"Zorin, kiss me."
