Chapter 286 286 You're such a nice guy

She purred softly;

". . .the only way I can get any sleep tonight, is if I sleep right next to you Nexus. Somehow, the thought of you being around makes me feel calm."

A gust of cold breeze filtered in through the windows- forcing her to rub her arms. She hugged her elbows- and unconsciously pressed out her boobs. The cold forced her nipples to stand out.

At the corners of his lips, a wry smile formed.

"It's alright Nora. The big bad Fitch isn't gonna get you. . .I promise. . .come on–" he patted the space beside him; ". . .come sit here. . ."

Noiselessly, she glided across the ten feet distance- sliding across the carpet in silent steps. The flowery pink of her night gown came into the pale moonlight- followed by her round face, and her thick long golden hair.

Still hugging her arms, she heaved onto the bed- sinking her butt right into the mattress. Smiling, Nexus teased her;

"You look so cute when you're all tensed up. . ." his thumb teased her cheeks; "I mean, just take a look at your eyes, they're practically twinkling. . ."

She snickered- and bent her head downwards- trying to hide the fact that she was blushing hard;

lightsnοvεl "That's not fair Nexus." she mumbled.

Laughing, he reached behind her and grabbed a pillow- fluffing it with soft claps;

"It's all good Nora. There's no need to worry that pretty little head of yours. There's no way imma let anything happen to you. . ."

He adjusted the pillow- propping it against the headboard. She picked up the cue, and slid into bed. She lay on her side as Nexus unfolded the blanket, and spread it over her. Then, he closed the drapes, and hopped into bed.

Snuggled under the warmth of the blanket, she asked quietly;

"But how come you're not asleep though?"

"Well," he heaved himself upwards- rustling noisily on the sea of white sheets; "Unless I have a really hectic day, I usually have a hard time sleeping before midnight."

Her eyebrows nudged together; "You're a weird one Nexus. You know that right?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. . ." he wrapped his hand around her shoulders- pulling her closer; "Come here. . .I can tell you're still cold. . .and anxious. . . "

She shimmied under the duvet- snuggling closer, bringing her head to rest on his bicep- like a pillow;

"Thank you. . ." she whispered- "You're such a nice guy. . ."

The truth was, Nora's heart was pounding under the blanket.

Each heartbeat thundered so hard- it drowned out her inner thoughts- making her mouth dry. On her face, both eyebrows were huddled together in fluffy yellow curve. Anxiety gripped her from the insides as she fought to keep her breaths from rising.

Next to her, on the left side of the bed, Nexus could feel the tension in her body. It was seeping out of her like a thick cloud of perfume. Her body was stiff- and it wasn't just from the cold.

'Poor girl-' he thought; '-she's really shaken up. . .'

Trying to calm her, his fingers burrowed into the thick locks of her hair, stroking in soft twirling motions as he gently tugged at the roots;

"You know they can't touch you right? Nobody can. This castle's a fortress. . .it would be suicide to try to infiltrate this building. . .don't worry, you're safe. We all are."

"But you can't guarantee that Nexus. No one can–"

She nudged her cheeks against his arm- and continued anxiously;

"–that's beside the point. See, I was thinking. . .if there's a chance that this could actually be my last night on this earth, then- I won't waste it being scared or afraid. . . "

Nexus indulged her;

"Not saying this is gonna be your last night, but if it were, how would you spend it?"

Her heart rate spiked- bursting against her chest in epic thuds. Her voice dropped an octave lower;

"I. . .I'd. . .I'd love to spend it making love- to the man of my dreams. . ."

She said it with the innocence of a teenage girl- taking Nexus by surprise. His eyes flipped wide open- and in his pants, a swelling bulge began to materialize immediately.

". . .I know I don't like it," she was still speaking; "But I've actually never experienced that with anyone before. . ."

"Never been in love?" he asked in a curious tone.

"No," she shook her head- jerking back and forth across his bicep; "Not really. . ."nOve-lb)In

There was a short pause.

The sounds of owls hooted in the distance.

And the bells rang outside for the change of guards.

Quietly, with the smooth finesse of a player, he slid out his arm from under her head- turning to face her in the dark.

"Tell me Nora," he asked in a quiet whisper; "Am I the man of your dreams?"

Holding the blanket over her cleavage, her mouth opened to answer him- but Nexus' inclined his head forward- dropping his lips onto hers, swallowing her words into his throat. Nexus snatched Nora's breath with a deep long kiss. Her chest immediately inflated- rising up underneath him.

Her lips- soft and thin, parted open. His mouth sank into hers with a slippery suck- sliding his hands down the length of her thigh- forcing out a moan from her throat. Their heads bobbed against each other as they locked lips- gasping as they leaned into each other's mouths.

Nora's right arm curved around his head- flattening her palm against the back of his head- nibbling on his upper lip with accelerated sucking sounds.

Nora couldn't help but share her deepest desires and fears to ease the anxiety that had taken hold of her.

Nora hesitated before finally confessing, her voice trembling, "Nexus, there's something I've always longed for, but I've never experienced it before.

Nexus looked into her eyes, his gaze filled with understanding and tenderness. He knew that in this moment, they needed to find a way to ease Nora's anxiety. "What is it, Nora?" he asked softly.

Tears welled up in Nora's eyes as she replied, "I've always wanted to make love to the man I love. It's something I've dreamt about, but I've never had the chance."

Nexus reached out to gently wipe away her tears, his touch reassuring. "Nora, I want to be there for you, to give you what you've longed for," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.

Nora nodded, her heart racing with a mix of excitement and fear. "But I'm scared, Nexus. I've never done this before, and I have no experience."

Nexus leaned in and tenderly brushed his lips against hers, his kiss soft and full of promise. "Nora, we'll take it slow, and I'll be with you every step of the way. There's no need to be afraid. I'll make sure you feel safe and loved."

Nora's fear began to ebb away as she felt Nexus's lips against hers, a gentle and reassuring kiss that conveyed his deep affection for her. She wrapped her arms around him, holding him close, and whispered, "Thank you, Nexus. I trust you."

Nexus continued to kiss her, his lips moving in a slow and sensual dance with hers. As they kissed, the intensity of their emotions grew, and the room around them seemed to fade away.
