Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 71

His scent invades my nostrils and I can't help but feel excited... I take in a deep breath, trying to relax my hormones but it was useless. Its becoming harder and harder to control myself. I allow my hands to drift down slowly, pressing my palms against his warm chest lightly. His large arms snake their way around my waist and pull me flush against him.

I lay my cheek on his chest and relish in the safety I felt. I hated that I felt safe in his arms. I never wanted to feel this way towards him, but now its too late.

"You're warm." I whisper.

A chuckle vibrates through his chest and he places a kiss on the top of my head.

"I told you I never get cold."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." I say in a playful manner as I take a step back to look up at him.

His eyes roam my face as he tries to fight the smile wanting to take over his lips.

"You are..." He trails off slowly as his our eyes meet.

"Amazing, beautiful, wonderful, lovely, funny, fantastic, gorge-"

"Yes, yes, yes. All of those." He cuts me off with a chuckle.

"Are you sure you're not just saying that to shut me up?" I ask teasingly with a beaming smile.

"I'm sure." He hums and places a sweet kiss on my forehead. "Come on lets go relax for a while before we head over to dinner."

I nod my head in agreement and we both head up stairs and towards his room.

Immediately I snatch up the remote to the tv and try to hide my creepy excited smile. Ha, now I get to pick what we watch. I didn't like any of the shows that Ajax was interested in. I find them all a bore.

"Who said that you get to pick what we watch?" His buff arms cross over his bare chest as one of his eyebrows perk up.

I send him a bright smile and put on the newest show that I've been loving, Gossip Girl. "Because my taste in shows is much better than yours."

"Sure, whatever floats your boat." He rolls his eyes at me as I plop down onto the couch.

"It does float my boat, thank you very much." I clutch the remote close to my chest just in case he tries to pull any tricks.

"How about we fight for the remote?"
