Kelsie's POV
I feel a heavy thing on my chest. I opened my eyes but immediately regretted it when harsh rays of the sun strike through my n***d eyes.
I shut my eyes closed and let myself adjust first. I slowly opened my eyes and was welcomed by my ceiling. My gaze landed on the heavy thing resting on my stomach area and saw an arm snaked around me.
It still hasn't sunk into me what happened until I traced the arm placed on top of me and landed on Connor's peaceful sleeping face.
'We did it.'
I bite my lower lip. It was an unplanned scenario in my life. Before, I am expecting a wedding before I will do it with the life of my life. But last night, I was even the one who brought it up.
Don't get me wrong. I do not regret anything. I just think it happened so fast that even I could not catch up.
I look at the clock hanging on my wall. My jaw dropped. It's already 7 in the morning. So that explains why the rays of arrows from the sun are already striking through my window. How long did we fall asleep?
As far as I know, it was late afternoon or probably nighttime when Connor went inside my room. I still remember that it was raining outside and saw my stepmother and stepsister carrying their things outside.
I shake my head.
'I need to get up.'
I carefully lift Connor's arm and remove it away from me. I slowly put his arm on his side as I tiptoed my way out of bed.
I exhaled sharply when my feet managed to get on the ground. I sit on the edge of the bed. I looked back at Connor who is still peacefully sleeping.
I stared at his whole face, memorizing its features. His closed hooded eyed look calm. His usual furrowed thick brows are at ease, and his lips that are often smirking at me are currently in a straight line and slightly parted.
Unconsciously, I smiled. My gaze darted down to what I am wearing. I don't remember wearing my rosegold silky night dress last night but I have a fazed memory of Connor helping me to get dressed with this.
'Oh, gosh! How haggard and wasted was I last night? Ugh!'
I carefully stand on the bed and slowly went to my closet. I grab a white skirt and a dusty pink tank top. I pulled out my towel hanging on one of the hangers and went to my bathroom.
I quickly removed my clothes and stand under the shower. Most of the time, I used warm water to take a bath but this time, I feel like a cold shower will make me more refreshed.
Every time my soap brushed against my privates, I could not help but remember how Connor held me last night.
I am still sore down there, but oddly, I don't find it uncomfortable. I am enjoying myself under the shower when suddenly, a loud knock from my bathroom door made me jump a little. I reached for the faucet of the shower and switched it off.
"Kelsie?" I heard Connor calling from outside.
"Y-yes?" I was too surprised that I stuttered.
"Open the door," he ordered.
My heart started pounding. I am certain that it is not because I'm nervous. It's actually the other way around. My cheeks turned red when I realized that I feel a pinch of excitement in my system.
"H-Hold on," I answered.
I shut my eyes tightly. 'Seriously, Kelsie? You did not even decline!'
I grab my towel and wrapped it around my body. I reached for the door handle and twist it open. Connor immediately pushed it from
the other side and stepped inside the bathroom.
I notice him only wearing a comfortable black shorts while a towel is hanging on his left shoulder.
"What are you doing? I asked.
He reach for the doorknob behind him and pressed the door to lock. His gaze dropped down on my body. Unconsciously. I did the
same to him.
His protruding muscles are tempting me to trace them with my fingers. My eyes crawled a little downwards and notice the bulk in
between my thighs. I gulped. Just the thought of it inserting inside of me makes me hot wet down there.
Connor is the type of guy that knows exactly what he is doing. He know what part to touch and what spot to hit. I did enjoy what
happened last night but I do not think I am ready to do it again.
I avoided my gaze and pouted. Connor advanced at me. My eyes are glued on the floor and I can see his toes when he stepped
forward towards me. He cupped my chin with his fingers and lift my head to meet his eyes.
"You did not wake me up." he said. His free hand reached for my waist and rested there.
"I t-thought you might b-be t-tired..." I answered. I do not even know why I am stuttering!
His hoarse chuckled bounce on every corner of the bathroom. His head even fall back as he tried to stop his laugh.
"Yeah right, I am indeed exhausted. I was the only one who moved last night," he said with traces of chuckles in his every word.
I pouted even more and my brows furrowed.
Going back to what happened last night, I realized he's right. I did nothing other than lay on my back. With my mind still floating, I
bite my lower lip.
Even many people would say that Connor is a rational guy, he is still a man. What if he'll get tired of me because he is the only one
moving while we're doing it'? I sigh. I should already learn. What if he'll find someone else? Someone sexier or prettier? Someone
who is more matured and experienced enough to know how to move? Ugh!
"What are you thinking?" he asked. "And since when did you learn how to block your thoughts?" he added.
My brows was about to meet each other.
'Really? I blocked my thoughts?'
He sighed. "Nevermind."
'Uhm, did he just read it?'
"Yes," he answered the question in my mind loudly.
"I thought I blocked it already?"
"You did, earlier."
"How did I do that?" I curiously asked.
He shrugged. "Maybe your body knows what thought should not be read by me?"
I rolled my eyes at him and gently tap his finger on my chin to remover them.
I should be careful on what I would think. I cannot still mater the art of blocking my thoughts. Even the elders can read my mind.
Speaking of elders, I wonder how Mr. Bane is doing. After the incident on the Guardian's quarter, Mrs. Percy failed me. I have no
reasons to come back there.
"Do you have news about Mr. Bane?" I suddenly asked.
Connor looked at me, confused. "Mr. Bane? How did you know him?" he asked.
"He was the one that I accidentally hit when I and Kristine fought."
"He's fine. Mrs. Percy gave me an update yesterday. You made his nose bleed but it wasn't that deep."
I sigh. "I want to visit him and apologize properly but I do not think Mrs. Perey will let me inside the Guardian's quarter. The test is
still ongoing, right?"
He nods. "Uhuh. But Mr. Bane isn't in the Guardians. He is staying on the exclusive home."
Wait? So he's staying near my stepmother and stepsister? That caught my attention and my jaw dropped.
"Why?" I asked. As far as I remember, exclusive homes are only for the family of former Alphas and other high ranking officials who retired.
"He was once the head of the Hunters before he retired."
Woah. So he's one of the respected officials her in our pack yet I do not even know him? Now I understand how detached I am to our
pack. I should pay attention more often.
"If you want to visit him, we can go there." Connor added.
"Really?" I asked in excitement.
Since today is the last day of the Guardian's test and Mrs. Perey already failed me, I have nothing to do for the whole day. Might as
well visit him, I think I can ask him for some tips on the upcoming Hunter's test!
