All Novel Sweet
Chapter 194
Avery’s pov
The first rumble made me stir, then the second made me grasp for the warm arm around my waist, holding me protectively to a strong body. My head is on his chest and I can feel the steady rise and fall as he breathes.
Then a tear of rain drops on my cheek, and then another grazes just beside my mouth. I lazily open my eyes and blink away the tired gleam of sleep, yawning as I scan around the area.
The fire has since died out. I lift my head from Xade’s chest gently so as to not wake him. He looks so peaceful in his sleep, so boyish and free. Happy.
I smile softly and unable to resist, I reach up to gently stroke across his jawline. He stirs, and blinks, peeling his eyes open. Fire coarse through me with a single look from his eyes and my stomach tightens.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
He grins wolfishly. “Good morning Mrs. Archer.”
My smile broadens. ” Morning Mr. Archer,” I kissed his jaw and he grunts. “On the lips is a much better way to do it.”
I roll my eyes and softly brush my lips against his. He tightens his hold against me, deepening the kiss. I pull away before it gets too extreme. He pouts, frowning adorably. “For a big bad wolf, you’re easily a softie,” I joked, pinching his cheek playfully.
He chuckles, trying to playfully bite my finger. ” Only for you.”
I grinned and he stares up at me in awe. He reaches for my hair and threads his fingers through the strands. ” You’re incredibly beautiful,” he whispers. “I can’t wait to wake up like this with you every single day now.”
I blush, feeling the warmth from his words caress me. Another rumble of thunder made him squint and look up at the sky behind him. “Looks like rain is approaching,” just as he says that, a drop falls on his forehead, then another until it is full on pouring.
I yelp, lifting off him, giggling as we get soaked in seconds. He grabs my hand and we made a dash to the house, laughing and stopping to dance in the rain every now and then. As he spins me around, I lift my head to the sky, laughing happily.
Baby I’m crazy ’bout you,” he started to sing once more, and I opened my arms, letting the raindrops fall on my face as his words caress me lovely.
“And I would be lying if I said that I could live this life without you,” I joined in, looking down at him and resting my hands on his shoulders. He grinned up at me fondly, his eyes warm and loving on my face.
He spins me one last time, letting me giggle before placing me down on my feet once more, interlocking our fingers and run for the door. We burst through the door, dripping wet on the floor.
We laughed and Xade shakes his hair purposely in my face to get me wet.
Bad puppy,” I scold teasingly.
He roars in laughter and pulls me flush against him where I can feel every hard contour of his body and heat. We were soaking wet but his temperature was so warm and cozy that I never want to peel away from him.
I’m your bad puppy,” he teases, nuzzling his nose on my cheek before he tilts his head to kiss me softly. I wrap my arms around his neck, sighing and melting into him.
I didn’t want this to end. I didn’t want to go back to the threats that loom around us. I just want to spend more time with him where it is just us two. Only us.
