Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Awaited confession (3)

"Can you stop staring already?" Selene asked, resting her head on his chest. "I don’t look any different to when you last saw me."

Selene couldn’t explain how she felt now. She had simply confessed but something about it made her too shy to look at him.

Selene glanced at his hand once more. It concerned her that his hand was not yet healed despite how long he was in the room. "Did you hold something blessed?"

"I did but that doesn’t matter. Tell me exactly what you feel for me," Xavier said, more interested in her feelings.

Selene faced him again after she composed herself. "I am fond of you and enjoy how you care for me. I hope I am not expected to tell you this every day. If it is possible, my actions will show it. I will not say it is love yet but when it is, I will confess to that too. For now, I am open to much more growing between us."

Xavier’s hands settled on her waist, bringing her closer to his body. "What happened today for you to tell me?"

"Well, I saw you care for me in ways no one else has since my parents died. You have listened to me, never judging what I do or say. It is all I have asked for and for that, I care for you in more ways than I can explain. So, we shall see where this takes us. I am quite happy you did not go into a deep slumber," Selene said.

She would have missed this happiness if he did.

Xavier shared the same feeling since he would have missed these moments had he not accepted her invitation.

Selene wrapped her hand around Xavier’s waist so it would not only be him holding her. "It is strange you haven’t kissed me."

"I intend to but first I have to ask," Xavier stopped to lean closer to her ear. "When are you planning to seduce with what is inside those boxes?"

Selene’s eyes widened. She tried to step away from him but his hold on her was too strong. "Where did you find them?"

"Under the bed. Don’t break my heart by saying you never planned on using them. That would ruin how I feel now," Xavier said, lowering his head to kiss her cheek and then moving down to her exposed neck.

Selene covered her face. She should have dealt with hiding them first. It was her mistake for telling Agnes to take them to her room but not saying which one. "They were a gift from Francesca which I felt we were not ready for."

"We are not?" Xavier replied. This was news to him. "I haven’t seen you in them but I am already quite excited. Let me show you," he said, slipping his hands under his buttocks to lift her.

Selene held onto Xavier once more as he carried her to the bed. She tried to keep her eyes on his face and not on his exposed chest which she believed was calling out to her. Was it possible for him to be more handsome after she confessed?

Selene knew she could do as she liked since Xavier said it but she wasn’t that bold yet. For now, she was satisfied with his lips on her own and the kiss she expected when she confessed to him.
