THDK Chapter 22
by tenchaanI had a scary dream. Can I sleep with you? (Part 2)
“I want you to stay with me.”
I knew it was selfish. Nox was busy with his duties, and I shouldn’t be asking for this. But I just wanted to feel his presence, just for tonight.
“Alright, I’ll sleep with you tonight.”
“Th-thank you.”
Nox held me sideways and took me to his bed. The bed he’d usually slept in. My heart skipped a beat at the thought.
As I was gently laid down, the scent of Nox wafted up, tickling my nostrils. It was as if my entire body was wrapped in Nox’s presence. It was a happy, comforting feeling.
Nox lay down beside me and gently patted my back with one hand. As I felt the rhythmic taps, I finally felt at ease.
I wrapped my arm around Nox’s neck and brought my face close. His handsome face was right next to mine, and my heart began to pound.
“It’s been a while since we’ve slept together like this.”
“Yeah.”
Nox didn’t tell me to move away. Instead, he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer. I felt safe and comfortable in his strong arms.
“Don’t stare at me so much.”
“I don’t want to. I want to keep looking at you forever.”
I was afraid that if I looked away, Nox would suddenly disappear.
I was drawn into his deep crimson eyes. Nox was still the same as when we first met. When I was younger, I tried my best to grow up and match Nox.
Even now, compared to Nox, I was slender and small. But I had grown, and my palms were larger now. The gap between us that had bothered me so much in the past was gone.
As if being pulled in, I brought my face closer to Nox’s lips. His lips were softer than I imagined. Nox’s shoulder twitched slightly. Pretending not to notice, I gently kissed his thin, well-shaped lips. This was the closest I had ever been to his heir deep crimson eyes.
Wanting to feel Nox more, I slightly opened my lips. Suddenly, Nox’s tongue burst into my mouth. I was startled and tried to pull away, but my waist was held in place.
The sound of our lips meeting echoed in my ears, making me wonder if this was reality. The air was thin, and my brain felt hazy. My first kiss was sweeter than cake.
“Nox, I… I love you so much.”
“Don’t say anything.”
As we changed angles, our tongues entwined, exploring each other’s mouths. I wondered why Nox had accepted me.
(Stop thinking)
I just wanted to savor this sweet moment.
Nox… I love you. I’m happy to have met you. When I was younger, I was misunderstood. Now that I’ve grown up, maybe they feel something for me too?
“I like you, ha… ah, I like you… I love you.”
“Sol…”
When Nox called my name, I felt a pang in my stomach. Time flew by as we exchanged saliva, and I firmly etched Nox’s presence into my lips and heart.
“Go to sleep now.”
As our lips parted, Nox covered my eyes with his hand. This was a habit of his. I felt a pang of reluctance, but as I inhaled Nox’s scent, sleepiness washed over me. I knew I wouldn’t have any more bad dreams. Nox’s warmth would protect me.
