That was the first tthat registered in my brain as | began to wake up. Warmth all around me, and a very good
scent wafting into my nose. | took in a deep breath, and my chest expanded with more warmth, making me

I let out a startled sound as | reared back, and in the next moment, my eyes met with Zane’s lazy ones.
My heart instantly flew into my throat, and my heartbeat accelerated at once. His arms were still wrapped
around me, and a grin was tugging at the side of his lips as he regarded me.
Did | cuddle with him throughout the night? How did we get into this position?
| was confused as hell and trying to figure out this present situation, but in the next second, he was leaning
forward, till only a little distance remained between our faces. Him being this close toright now, made
memories from last night and to foood my kind at once, memories of him holdingagainst the wall and

“Good morning, bunny.” He husked out in a low voice, and something cleaned tightly in my stomach as a shiver
slither down my spine.
| blushed all the way to my roots, my face feeling like it was on fire, and | pointedly glanced away from his face,
while trying to regulate my pounding heart.
“That ridiculous nickname.” | grumbled, but my voice sounded weak and breathless to my own ears.
“Is it really ridiculous?” He hummed as his eyes ghosted over my face again, and it felt like | couldn’t breathe.
“Yeah.” | stuttered out, fully aware of the way his hands were digging into the skin of my waist, his palms burning
through my shirt/
“I beg to defer. It fits you perfectly.” He crooned, seeking completely unfazed by our close proximity, while it felt
like my own body got set on fire from the moment | woke up.

As a lover of cuddles, | don’t get a lot of opportunities to cuddle. My cuddle bunny was Gregg, but after he got
married, | was left with nothing, leavingcuddle starved. It's probably why | unconsciously rolled into his arms
in the middle of the night?
My face grew even redder. Does he think I'm pathetic? Cause | hated to admit it, but his arms feel so good
aroundright now, and | really wanna burrow into his chest right now...
Which is exactly why | have to get out of this bed at once, cause that’s a very dangerous territory.
Before | could ask him to loosen his hold on me, he was tuggingright into his chest and | felt my heart stutter
in my chest, my eyes widening and my breath growing labored when he slid a leg between mine, making me

was made more aware, probably because he was hard and the hardness was digging into my stomach, and |
could feel myself grow wet right now because of that.
“Are you thinking about last night?” He suddenly asked like he could read my mind and | stiffened, my eyes
widened as | struggled for a response.
“W-what? No! No- of course, not.”
After responding, | risked a glance at his face, and he had a brow arched, like he could read right through me,

“You sure about that?”
I nodded, then | cleared my throat, fully intended to ask that he let go of me. However, as | prepared to get those
words out, he was rolling around till my back was fully on the bed, trapping me
up at underneath his hard body. My eyes widened, a gasp catching in my throat as | blinked him.
“I was thinking about last night.” He revealed as his hands slid down my arms and captured my wrists, then he
was pulling them high above my head and | was gasping again, unable to stop the tremor that coursed through

badly wanted a little pressure on the spot between my legs, but he made no move to providerelief, which
felt like an immense amount of torture. The fact that | couldn't move my hands at all because he had then
pinned above my head with a single hand... that should be terrifying, but instead, it madegrow even wetter,
making my blood surge even faster.
When he broke the kiss and | gasped for breath, | watched through heavy lidded eyes as he rolled off me, then
smoothly slid off the bed, like he hadn't just renderedboneless with a single kiss.
“Up you go.” He announced as he took my hand and tuggedoff the bed, a completely relaxed expression
across his face, while | was still struggling to catch my breath. | felt embarrassed as hell that I let him kiss me
when | was supposed to have reminded him that last night was a one tthing, especially seeing as he didn’t
even getoff on top of that. What annoyedeven more was how collected he looked right now, when | was
anything but.
“Go take a shower, bunny. We have a long day ahead.” He announced as he nudgedin the bathroom’s
direction. | instantly wanted to tell him to never kissagain, then to ask him what he meant by a long day, but
my tongue still felt heavy in my mouth, and my heart was still racing, so | hurried to the bathroom and locked
the door behind me.
As | showered, my heartbeat finally returned back to normal, and | felt dumb as hell on top of the
embarrassment still swimming through my veins. | wasn’t supposed to let him kissjust like that, what was |
thinking? | was in love with his brother, so last night was supposed to be only that, we were supposed to go back
to how things used to be between us this morning. Although | had a feeling that was gonna be hard forto do,
since now | know what he was packing in his pants, and | know how good his fingers felt inside me.
| let out a shaky breath, forcing those stupid thoughts out of my mind, then reminding myself that on leaving this
bathroom, Ill tell him to never kiss or touchintimately, and that we're to only engage in PDA and nothing
more.
When | stepped out of the bathroom, my breath caught in my throat at all that was scattered over the bed. A
bunch of boxes of clothes, shoes, jewelries and sother things..
“What are these?” Lasked slowly as | glanced over at Zane who was scrolling through his phone.
“Oh, 1 did a little shopping for you. | just know you'll not have the appropriate clothes for the rest of the stuff
lined up before us, so | decided to do this.”
As he spoke, | got closer to the bed and looked over the stuff there. All the dresses looked so pretty and the
shoes were literally unreal. They were popular brands, and the price tags had my eyes widening in disbelief.
I should feel annoyed that he was doing this, it felt almost insulting, but instead, | felt a little giddy,

“Why do | need these dresses?” | asked as | glanced up at him to see him watching me,” state making me
almost drop the box of perf| was holding.

“Cause we're going on a date this morning.” He revealed and again, | almost dropped the box.
“A date? Why?” | asked, frowning in confusion. Did the couple schedule a date with everyone which I have
forgotten?
“Cause, every other couple here has undoubtedly gone on date with just themselves, or they plan to. The point
is, no couple would cto a vacation like this and not spend talone with their date just having fun or
exploring the country.” He explained and | slowly nodded.
|
“Oh... | guess that makes sense.” 1 muttered.
When | picked up one of the dresses and wanted to go change, he arched a brow at me, his lips twitching.
“Why don’t you change here? After all, I've seen it all, and well... you'll need shelp with the back of the
dress anyway.” He reasoned, but | ignored him, my face on fire and went to the bathroom to slip into the freed
that felt as soft as silk against my skin. Just as he said, the ropes at the back still required his help, and | hated
that he was right. As | left the bathroom, | promised myself to tell him about the no more kissing or touching
rule, which would also include him never bringing up that night again, we'd have to just pretend it never
happened.
When | stepped in front of him to do up the ropes, | felt his lips glide over my spine, making a gasp spill past my
lips as my eyes widened, my heart pounding hard again, and my hands tightening on the front of the dress.
“W-what are you doing?” | whispered as | felt his long fingers glide across my ribs and spine as he leisurely tied
up the ropes.
“Doing up your dress.” He responded and | let out a shaky exhale, confusion clouding up my brain. | want to tell
him that he kissed my spine just now, but | felt tongue tied, and almost like | had imagined that.
After he finished with the ropes, le crouched low and helpedinto the shoes. | had to hold his broad shoulders
as he did the buckles, and his bare skin felt like it was burning my fingers, and at the stime, it was
remindingof how | held on those shoulders when he fuckedlast night.
When he rose to his full height again, my eyes briefly met with his and feeling ridiculously shy, I ducked my
head.

However, when he attempted to put the jewelries on me, | grabbed them from him and insisted on doing them
myself, cause having his hands on my skin one more tthis morning might makego
crazy.
He was acting too sweet, like a gentleman, and | didn’t like it, cause it might deceive my stupid mind
into thinking this was a real date, when it's anything but.
This date is only for show, and nothing more.
As he got ready, | busied myself on my phone, responding to Gregg’s texts and assuring him that | was fine. He

the truth from me, that I've fucked his friend despite him warningagainst that.
But he had nothing to worry about anyway, cause it won't be happening again.
