Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 270

When was the last time that things felt this awkward between us when we were alone together?

What should I say to him now?

While I was thinking about what I should say to him, Hayden walked over to the bed and sat down on it. He looked more mentally tired than physically tired, and I wondered what was on his troubled mind. I watched him take in a few deep breaths while I hesitated about what to do.

“Come here,” Hayden spoke up abruptly.

His words snapped me out of my thoughts, and I realized that he wanted me to go to him. I slowly approached the bed where he was sitting, and I could feel his eyes on my face before his gaze trialed down my body.

“Hayden…” I called his name softly when I stood in front of him.

“Come closer,” he instructed as his hands reached out to grab my arms and pulled me closer to him.

The force of his pull pulled me a big step forward until I was standing right in between his legs. His arms were around my body and my eyes widened when he pulled me into a firm hug. His arms around my back tightened as he buried his head against the spot right below my chest. Instinctively, I lifted my hands up and began cradling his head. Hayden took deep and steady breaths as if he was breathing me in, and I could feel his body starting to relax in my arms. I stroked his soft blond hair with one hand while I hugged him with my other arm.

We stayed silently like that for a while. I could be wrong, but it seemed like he needed some comforting and that was what I willingly gave him. I stayed still in his arm as we continued to hug each other. It felt like it had been such a long time since I’ve last seen him and held him like this. His body felt warm close to mine, and it made me realize just how much I really missed him.

“What did Harvey say to you?” Hayden asked with his face still buried against my skin.

Well, Harvey told me many things, so I wasn’t sure what Hayden wanted to know about specifically. There wasn’t anything that seemed very important, though. Was the part about what I wanted for my future and for Hayden’s future important?

“Well, he told me a few things about when you were young. You know, when we were going through the photos of you when you were young…” I replied.

“And?” Hayden prompted as he gazed up at me with captivating blue eyes.

I missed his eyes. Although Harvey’s eyes were pretty much the same color, the feeling I got when I looked into them were completely different from when I’m staring deeply into Hayden’s eyes. It was so easy for me to get lost in the depth of his eyes.

“Well, nothing much…” I replied, not quite sure how to tell Hayden about the ‘thinking about the future’ part of our conversation.
