HIS BEAUTIFUL ADDICTION - Chapter 448 Don't look at me like that

Chapter 448  Don’t look at me like that

He was like a sweet poison. Even when she knew, she could not help taking a sip. Ari did not know it was raining until they went outside. The hall was completely soundproof.

”Wow. ” She exclaimed when she saw how heavy the rain was. The security came with umbrellas for them and the valet handed Xavier his keys;

The rain was a little heavy, so it still touched them a little. Once inside the car, Ari laughed;

”I did not know it was raining,” she said.

”And I can barely see with this rain. ” Xavier said, and Ari turned to look at him. He was right, the rain was quite heavy, even with the windscreen wiper, he would hardly see.

”What are we going to do?” she asked; it was a few minutes past ten and they did not know when it would cease.

”We could wait it out. It might not last that long.” n(𝐨.𝒱𝑒𝗅(𝔲(𝑠)𝒃,,.𝚌(𝐨)𝓂

Ari nodded, and they waited, but it appeared the rain was even getting worse.

”They reserved a room for everyone in the party. We can stay here and go back tomorrow morning; ”

Xavier suggested, and the car became quiet.

”That is if you’ll be comfortable, I promise I won’t do anything you would not want. ”

Ari’s heart sank. He was just telling her beforehand that he wouldn’t try to touch her. Who told him that, that was what she wanted?

”Okay. ” she said, and they went back to the hotel. The rain hit them slightly before the security brought them umbrella.

One attendant took them to their room. Ari looked at her clothes and she looked at Xavier, they would not sleep in those, where they?

As though Xavier was thinking the same thing, he said;

”I’ll go down and get us something to change into;” Ari nodded, and he left.

She took off her shoes and sat on the couch in the room, massaging her legs. Xavier came back after about thirty minutes with a bag.

”It was only when I got downstairs that I realized I should have gone with you, ” he said as he gave her the bag.

Ari laughed when she saw what he had bought. Nighties, panties to change, and a change of clothes. A faint blush washed her chin as she stared at the items.

Xavier walked to the bed with his own bag;

”Don’t laugh,” he said as he took off his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt.

”I’m not laughing; ” Ari said whilst laughing; ”it is actually cute and thoughtful. I mean, I did not expect you to be this thoughtful.”

Xavier turned to look at her, a crease in his brows; ”you must think the worst of me. ”

He said and Ari shook her head;

”No… I don’t mean it in the wrong way. Most guys are selfish. It was beautiful to see how thoughtful you are, that’s just what I am saying…

Xavier finished unbuttoning his shirt and took it off, and Ari’s eyes fell on his bare chest, and it suddenly glued there, unable to move.

”I’m not that terrible Ari, I know you must have heard a lot about me. Some are true but most are not.”

Ari gulped as she looked back at his face. He was staring at her passionately, and for a few seconds, there was total silence, with the both of them staring into each other’s eyes.

Suddenly Ari shook her head; coming back to her senses.

”Don’t do that. ” she said and Xavier frowned; ”do what?”

”Don’t look at me like that,” she said and stood up from the couch. Her fingers held the bag nervously as she looked away from him.

Xavier was surprised; he did not look at her in any weird way.

”How did I look at you?”

Ari looked at him, and he still had the look in his eyes. She wanted to say something but she decided against it and stomped to the bathroom to change her clothes.

…

Ari sighed as she shut the door, her hand touching her heart. If she did not control herself, he would find out she was having feelings for him. But it was getting harder. What would she do?

She sighed as her head dropped. This was exactly where she did not want to be, but she landed right here.

Ari stepped out of the bathroom, with her clothes in hand, and the nightwear on her body.

The nightie was short and her nipples, which had hardened because of the cold weather, were visible.

Xavier who was on his phone, turned in her direction when the door opened.

He was dazed, staring at her for a moment before he blinked, ”I didn’t know the nightie would be that short.” he finally said and she smiled;

”it’s okay. ” Ari said as she hung her clothes and took her phone from the couch and came to lie on the other side of the bed;

As she lay down, the nightwear riled up a little more, almost showing her panties, as though it was not already short enough.

She quickly covered herself with the duvet, only sticking her eyes out.

Xavier turned off the lights a few minutes later, and they lay in bed quiet. Rain was still pouring outside, and Ari wanted to hug him and sleep in his arms, but he would not make the move, and she couldn’t either.

What if he rejected her? She wouldn’t be able to take the embarrassment.

After a few minutes, Ari felt Xavier’s phone light go off and he grew quiet. She lay stiffly for a few minutes, listening to his breathing until it evened.

She wanted to turn and look at him, but she decided not to. She was staring at her phone, but she was not even concentrating. Just him lying down beside her was enough distraction.

Ari placed her phone on the bedside drawer, and then closed her eyes to sleep.

She had not closed her eyes for long before she felt an arm around her. Her eyes flung open, as Xavier pulled her closer to him, nestling his face in her neck.
