Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396: All that matters.

Leilani.

These brothers would be the death of me.

Gosh, I have been saying that for so long that now, it is beginning to look like my reality, because tell me why one minute, I was sitting on my stool, wracking my brain to understand a very complicated design that the engineering team back at Frostclaw. Inc had come up with in my absence, and in the next minute, I was tumbling to the floor like a pack of cards.

But it wasn’t just that.

Zevran was falling with me.

He had fallen with me!

The last thing I saw before my head struck the floor was his wide eyes and his mouth that had been rolled into an o-shape as he muttered something incoherent to me.

I felt the impact of my body hitting the floor for only a second before something warm enveloped me, and then I found myself in his arms, pressed tightly into his chest while his back was forced to suffer the rest of the impact.

"Urghh!" He groaned when his back and the back of his skull struck the floor, and I winced like I was the one who had suffered that hit.

However, just as I tried to stand up, he did too, and we both ended up bumping our foreheads against each other, causing a loud groan to slip out of both of our mouths as we crashed again to the floor.

I cried out; "What the effing hell is wrong with you?!"

"I could ask you the same but I know that it’s not our fault!" He clapped back at me, earning himself an eyeroll from me.

I was about to respond to him when I found out that somehow... I do not know how, I was almost straddling him. And while he laid on the floor on his left side, my right leg was trapped under his body while the left was resting on his waist.

This posture, however, made him feel way closer to me than he has ever been and I felt heat rush to my face and to my core way before I could get a hold of the sensations running across my body.

I hissed; "get off!"

"I think you should first," he whispered softly, "you’re sitting right on top of me."

I noticed the way he refrained from using the word: ’straddling’ and the way he tried as hard as possible not to touch me. And even though I could clearly see his chest rising and falling rapidly, and feel the tremor running up his body, he didn’t lean close. Instead, he sounded soothing— too calm really— as he drawled;

"I’ll lift my body off the floor slowly so that you can take out your trapped leg, is that okay?"

The way he talked like I was a child he wished not to offend dissipated all kinds of ill feelings I held towards him. It also took away part of the embarrassment I once felt and I carefully began to do as he had told me... one movement after the other...

Until...

"What the hell happened here?" A different voice snapped, pulling me out of my small bubble.

The shock made me fall back into Zevran’s chest for the second time today, and when I raised my head to find Maya standing there with a flask in hand and a mischievous smirk across her lips, I almost lost it.

I snapped; "What the hell are you doing here?"

"And what the hell are you doing there?" She drawled, wriggling her eyebrows at me. The way she said that word: ’you’ made my already hot cheeks burn even hotter and made the strange warmth searing through my veins burn ten times hotter.
