Pampered Like A Princess

Edward was trying his best to comfort Nelissa, who was crying silently.

He planted kisses all over her shoulders and nuzzled against her tender cheeks. Her cries seemed to have calmed him down.

He then softly said, “A gentle squeeze is enough to make you cry, huh? Oh, you’re such a crybaby.”

Nelissa remained silent, her face still flushed. She had always been a crybaby, but she swore that she had gotten better over the years.

She pushed Edward away forcefully, annoyed at his tease.

Edward’s brows twitched and he released his grip. He knew that she would start crying again if he didn’t stop.

Nelissa slipped away and sat on the carpet. Her waist was still tender from Edward’s squeezes.

Her skin had always been sensitive and any slight force would cause her skin to bruise.

“Could you please make me some tea?” Edward knitted his brows and stared at Nelissa’s luscious hair. They were caught around his fingers as he brushed through it.

Stunning.

Nelissa slapped his hand away and stared at him with reddened eyes.

Edward said, “Please? I’m actually feeling pretty unwell.”

He then added with a grin, “I need you to know how scary a man could be with the woman they love.”

Nelissa pouted. She obliged, not daring to challenge how much of a ruffian Edward could be.

She rushed to the kitchen and started brewing tea for him, for she knew that she stood no chance against him.

Nelissa swore that she would toughen herself up, lest she cries again the next time he teases her.

She remembered how Edward liked his tea, so she grabbed a few cubes of sugar and added them into his tea.

Nelissa groaned inwardly. It seemed that she had unknowingly become his slave.

Her phone rang as she stirred the sugar into the tea.

Worried that it was Jolene calling, she immediately fished her phone out of her pocket. As obedient as her children were, they would still throw a fit if she were to disappear that long.

It turned out that Zayden was calling her.

Stunned, Nelissa wondered if she was hallucinating.

He would often express his repressed feelings whenever he called her at this hour.

“I really, really love you Nelly. You are the first person I love this much and I can’t lose you.”‘

Zayden had once given her such a charming confession.

Nelissa glanced at Edward, who was also looking at her. He obviously heard the phone ringing as well.

Nelissa declined the call and switched her phone off.

“I’ve added sugar to the tea.” Nelissa served the tea to Edward.

After taking a sip from it, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her next to him. “Who was it?”

Nelissa could feel the heat emanating from his body.. After a pause, she replied honestly, “It was Zayden. I’ve switched my phone off.”

Edward grunted and sipped on the tea, “Aren’t you an obedient one? Are you trying to please me or are you afraid of me?”

Nelissa looked up at him and said, “What do you want me to say? I wouldn’t want you to accuse me of seducing you again later.”

Edward’s brows twitched and he chuckled. Her witty banter was truly refreshing.

He leaned over and lay on Nelissa’s lap, his eyes focused on her perky breasts.

Edward said cheekily, “Well, from this angle, you do look like someone who has given birth before.”

Nelissa immediately covered her chest with her arms, but she dared not to push Edward away.

Was he sleep talking?

“What are you doing?” Nelissa exclaimed.

“Could you please rub my temples? My head hurts.” Edward pointed at his head, his listlessness somewhat charming.

Nelissa bit her lips and rubbed his forehead gently. She had never done this before, and her skills left much to be desired. She was only doing it for Edward.

After all, she could not afford to cross him once more!

Edward closed his eyes gradually and his breathing steadied. He looked like a prince, enjoying the time of his life.

After a brief moment.

Nelissa stopped as her hands were sore, She nudged him with her elbow and said, “Please don’t sleep here tonight, Edward. It’ll leave Eliza with a bad impression tomorrow.”

“What about you? Where are you sleeping tonight then?” Edward asked as he opened his eyes lazily.

He was never one to care about what others think of him.

Nelissa gritted her teeth.

“The guest room, I guess,” she replied. Even if she wanted to go home, she would not be able to hire a cab at this hour.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Help me upstairs,” Edward said as he slowly got up. His head was still throbbing.

Nelissa walked him to his bed. She stumbled her way into the room as she tried to support his weight.

All of a sudden, he whispered seductively into her ears, “Don’t leave. Stay with me tonight.”

“Must you really do this?” Nelissa asked with a frown.

The lights were off and she could feel Edward’s breath tickling her neck.

He added, his arms still around her waist. “Well, we could always continue what we were doing earlier instead. The bed is so much more comfortable.”

“Fine, I’ll stay!” Nelissa was blushing hard. Fortunately for her, Edward did not seem to notice it.

She knew that he was just teasing her yet again, but her heart was pounding.

She just had to hold on until he fell asleep.

Edward hummed softly and pulled Nelissa closer to him.

“Let’s sleep then. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep these past few days and it’s all your fault.”

Nelissa leaned into Edward’s warm embrace. She thought that it would be a long night for her.

However, when she heard his steady breathing, her eyelids got heavier and she soon fell asleep.

She had a dreamless night.

Rays of sunshine peered through the loosely drawn curtains and onto the cuddling couple the next morning.

Nelissa was stirred awake when the sunlight shone on her cheeks. She opened her eyes groggily.

Edward was already awake. He frowned, his voice still hoarse, “It’s the weekend. Let’s sleep a little longer.”

He reached out to block the blinding light from hitting Nelissa’s cheeks, leaving behind a dark shadow in front of her.

“Okay,” Nelissa mumbled. It did not take long for both Edward and her to fall back asleep.

The pair snuggled even closer and enjoyed each other’s warmth.

It was 11 a. m. when Eliza came knocking on Edward’s door. Nelissa rubbed her eyes and stretched herself.

Eliza’s voice could be heard from the other side of the door, “Breakfast is ready, Master Hales. Would you like to have them now?”

Nelissa tilted her head, Edward’s handsome face resting behind her neck, “Later.”

“Alright then.”

Nelissa looked at the clock. She did not expect to wake up this late.

She was worried Eliza would realize that she had spent the night. Things would only complicate further if Penelope got wind of this.

Edward pulled Nelissa closer, intending to sleep a little while longer. It was such a cosy and relaxing morning.

“Get up, It’s almost noon.” Nelissa nudged the grumpy man. He refused to move, so she tried to wiggle out of his arms.

It had been a while since she could stay in bed as she usually had to take care of her children at home.

“Ah!” Nelissa cried out in pain.

Edward was startled by her scream. He asked, his arm still on her waist, “What’s wrong?”

Nelissa turned around and looked at Edward’s black shirt. She said, “I think my hair got caught.”

Strands of black hair had gotten caught in one of Edward’s buttons and no matter how much he tried, he was unable to get it off.

“Just cut it off.” Nelissa was talking about her hair.

“Okay,” Edward replied as he grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the button off, leaving her hair unscathed.

He ran his fingers through Nelissa’s hair languidly.

She was extremely attractive even after she had just got out of bed.

“Your shirt’s ruined,” Nelissa said as she stared at the button.

Knowing him, he would just throw the shirt away instead of having someone fix it.

How wasteful.

“It’s okay,” Edward said as he stretched his fit, muscular body.

He then unbuttoned the remaining buttons on his shirt and reached down to his pants…

Nelissa looked away, got out of bed, and went to the washroom.

She dared not watch him change in front of her.
