Chapter 8

I froze for a moment, shamelessly staring at the breathtaking sight before me — his sculpted torso, broad shoulders, and strong arms with perfectly defined biceps. Even though I had seen him without a shirt many times before, the sight still left me speechless.
The cheeky troublemaker smirked arrogantly, clearly enjoying the effect he had on me. He hooked his fingers into the waistband of his jeans and raised a dark eyebrow questioningly:
“So, Bambi? Are you satisfied now? Or should I take something else off?”
I swallowed hard and quickly caught his wrist just as he reached for his belt, shaking my head.
“No-no! This… this is more than enough.”
Jay’s smile turned pure seduction as he gently gripped my chin with his fingers, leaning closer. His eyes had darkened noticeably, burning right through me as he asked in a low voice:
“Are you sure?”
“More than… sure,” I replied, trying my best to keep my voice steady, though I wasn’t entirely confident I succeeded. Because it wasn’t just his smile that was seductive — it was all of him. Resisting Jay was nearly impossible.
The shameless brunet chuckled softly, hiding a mischievous grin in the corner of his lips, and whispered seductively:
“Think carefully, baby. I won’t offer twice. Are you really sure you want me to leave it like this?”
I nodded, still mesmerized by him, unconsciously licking my suddenly dry lips. I didn’t understand why I was so nervous. After all, I had seen him in much less clothing before, just as he had seen me. But Jay had always had this effect on me. Only he could make me blush so easily with just a single word or look, even though after everything we had done together in his bedroom at night, it was honestly ridiculous to feel shy.
Still, there was something about him — those powerful waves of dark, dangerous sexuality that seemed to knock women off their feet within a mile radius, stripping away both underwear and inhibitions. And unfortunately, I was no exception, no matter how hard I tried to resist.
“Alright then, Bambi. Since you’re satisfied now, come here,” the half-naked, arrogant brunet smirked. Thankfully, he didn’t take off his jeans. Instead, he lay back down and pulled me with him.
I immediately found myself pressed against his hot, strong body, and a quiet, satisfied sigh escaped my lips.
God… he was so warm…
I had worried for nothing. This “hot guy” was clearly in no danger of freezing. If anything, I was the one at risk of burning up.
Jay pulled me even closer, wrapping his arms around my shoulders as if he wanted to merge me with himself. He took my wrist and placed my hand on his chest, right over his heart, covering it with his own. Then he smiled and whispered into my hair, his warm breath gently stirring the strands:
“I hope I’ve fulfilled all your demands for tonight, bunny?”
I nodded and kissed his shoulder.
“You even exceeded them.”
He hummed in satisfaction and stroked the back of my head, pressing a kiss to my forehead.
“Then sleep, my good girl. It’s already past one in the morning. You need to rest.”
I sighed and rubbed my cheek against his shoulder, tracing lazy patterns on his chest with my fingertips.
“You need rest too, Jay. I’m sorry that because of me you—”
“Shh, Bambi,” he interrupted gently. “Don’t you dare apologize. Besides, I’m on duty tonight, so I’m not allowed to sleep anyway. You just close your eyes and think about something nice until you fall asleep, okay?”
“About your kisses?” I asked softly.
“Of course,” the cheeky brunet purred contentedly, then added in a velvety, teasing whisper, “Or maybe… I should just kiss you for another half hour to make sure you drift off to dreamland?”
There was a playful smile in his deep, warm voice. I was certain he was just waiting for me to agree so he could happily return to that very pleasant activity.
Over the time we’d been together, I had learned very well that my Romeo was absolutely addicted to kisses, hugs, and any kind of physical touch. If it were up to him, he would hold and cuddle me all day long without ever letting go.
And honestly, I wasn’t against it at all. Still, I shook my head.
“If you start kissing me again, I definitely won’t be able to sleep until morning.”
Jay chuckled softly, burying his warm fingers in my hair and gently massaging my scalp and neck, which made me almost purr with pleasure.
“Alright then,” he whispered tenderly. “Just dream about my kisses, baby. And fall asleep…”
“And you… Will you stay with me until morning?” I asked hesitantly, freezing in anticipation of his answer. Relief washed over me when I heard his quiet reply:
“Of course, sweetheart. As long as you need me, I’ll be right here.”
“I’ll need you my whole life…”
The words slipped from my lips in the faintest whisper, but he still heard them.
Jay leaned over me, gently cradling my face in his hands, and looked straight into my soul with an incredibly tender, piercing gaze.
“Then I’ll be with you my whole life,” he said quietly, with absolute seriousness. There wasn’t even the slightest room for doubt in his voice.
I bit my lip, feeling tears well up for the second time that long night. Jay frowned slightly, tenderly stroking my cheek, and whispered against my lips, brushing them softly with his own:
“Don’t cry, baby… Everything will be okay. I promise you.”
I nodded, quickly brushing away the unwanted tears from my lashes. He pulled me closer, stroking my hair soothingly and whispering:
“There, there… Shh…”
I buried my face in the warm curve of his neck, breathing in his familiar, comforting scent, and whispered:
“How can you be so good to me?”
Jay smiled softly. He leaned down and kissed me on the lips, never breaking eye contact, making me fall in love with him all over again.
“Because I love you, Rosé…” he murmured. “Never forget that.”
