BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1328 - Not Sleeping (2)
Michael caressed Oni\'s cheek gently and he was surprised that his hands are shaky. Why is he nervous? Is it because this young woman trusts him so much and he is afraid not to mess it up?
He wanted to know, what did he do to deserve her trust?
"Oni, can I ask you something?"
She smiled. "Whatever you want to ask, the answer is \'yes\'."
Michael held his breath and gazed into Oni\'s eyes which smiled at him, causing a warm and fuzzy feeling to spread through his body. He thought that he likes her, but right at this moment he confirmed that what he feels for her is much more than \'like\'. Oni is his lifeline and he can\'t imagine his life without her.
He inched closer and kissed her again, and again, and again. And as much as he told himself to take it slow, his tongue grazed her lips and her sweetness seeped into his system making it impossible not to deepen the kiss.
Michael\'s hold on Oni tightened as he explored her mouth and their flavors mixed, and Oni didn\'t need more than two seconds to respond to his movements and taste him in return.
Oni melted in his embrace and thought how this is much better than kissing on the dock because she is lying down, and she does not need to worry about her legs going weak. Her heart was beating like crazy and she was sure that Michael can feel it because it\'s thundering against his chest, threating to jump over and join his.
Oni was not afraid of this newfound intimacy; she embraced it, just how she embraced Michael. And she had to admit that this reality where the two of them are dating and she is in his arms, is much better than any dream she had so far.
Michael broke the kissing frenzy with difficulty. He does not want to stop, but he has to before it\'s too late. Oni is too soft and sweet and addictive, and he is aroused beyond belief.
"Oni…", he called in a voice much deeper than usually.
"Yes?", she asked while her eyes rested on his lips, obviously craving for more.
"The medicine.", he reminded her.
She looked into his eyes and wondered, how is it possible that she forgot about his condition? "Oh… OK." She paused and her lips lifted into a smile. "If I\'m going to get the medicine, you need to let go of me."
Michael reluctantly loosened his hug and Oni pushed herself into a seating position.
Her gaze fell on his crotch area and she froze at the sight of the tent between his legs. \'Jesus! That thing is huge!\' She forced herself to look away and hoped that he didn\'t notice her staring.
Oni applied the medicine how JoAnna demonstrated and she was happy that her first application went without any problems.
"In four hours we do it again. Keep your eyes closed for the next fifteen minutes.", Oni reminded Michael while keeping the medicine away.
Oni glanced through the room while wondering what to do now. It\'s the middle of the night, but she is not sleepy. She slept for more than two hours and those kisses woke her up completely. Should she go back to bed, next to Michael or sit on the sofa? She was not sure.
"Oni?", Michael called.
She looked at him. "Yes?"
He extended his arm in the air, palm up and she understood that he wants her to come back to bed and hold his hand.
"Do you need something?", Oni asked. "Water? Or some food?"
"I need you by my side.", he responded.
Oni scooted on the bed and put her hand into his.
"This is only now, while we are here and you are hurt, right?", she asked while lowering herself into a lying position.
"What are you talking about?", Michael wanted to clarify.
"Us sharing a bed during the night.", Oni explained.
"Was that a question? Or are you informing me?"
Oni was not sure herself. She cursed herself internally, why did she ask such a question? How she sees this situation, she likes it… she likes it very much, but everything is happening too fast. She decided to find out what is on his mind. "What do you think?"
Michael turned toward Oni, and even with his eyes closed he had no problems finding her and pulling her into his embrace.
"I think that this is perfect. And I think that you are enjoying this as well.", he said with a sly smile which irritated her, but she didn\'t respond because he is right.
Michael smiled when he felt Oni\'s arms wrap around him. "Let me tell you what is coming: in the next three days I will need medication frequently and we will be inseparable during the day, and share the bed, just like tonight. And on the fourth day you will realize that you can\'t stay away from me, and you can\'t sleep without me by your side."
Oni blinked. "What does that mean?"
"By the time we return home, you will need to decide if you will sleep in my room, or I will come to yours or are we going to get into an apartment like Haru and Nala. I am fine with either."
"That… is too bold.", Oni said under her breath. She can\'t imagine the reaction of others if they find out that the two of them moved in together.
Michael tried to guess what is causing Oni\'s insecurities. "Oni, I am not playing. I will not go faster than what you are comfortable with and I will not lose interest in you as soon as I win you over. It\'s the opposite. The closer we get the more I need you."
Oni stared at his handsome face and she didn\'t know how to respond to this. But she probably does not need to say anything because he said that she needs to decide by the time they return home, and even then… the sleeping arrangement will change only IF she can\'t sleep without him.
"Oni, say something or I will open my eyes. At this point I don\'t know if you are smiling, frowning or did you sleep off.", Michael grumbled.
Oni scrambled to say something. "That… Uhm... I will think about it. OK?"
He confirmed. "OK. Try to get some sleep. It\'s late."
Oni observed that both of them are sideways, facing each other and she does not find this as comfortable for sleeping. Kissing? Yes. Sleeping? No.
"I don\'t think I can sleep like this.", she voiced her thoughts.
"Turn around.", Michael instructed.
She turned her back to him and he pulled her close, cradling her in his arms. "Better?"
Oni assessed their current position: they are both sideways, his head is just above hers, his chest is against her back and even their legs are aligned so she feels his thighs at the back of hers. "Yes. Much better. Good night, Michael."
He kissed the back of her head and pulled her closer. "Good night, Oni."
This last pull made his crotch press against her bottom. Oni felt his hot swelling and she remembered the tent between his legs, and she was sure that she will not be able to sleep off anytime soon.
