Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 13

"You can sleep on my bed," Essie stated.

His lips twitched. "Okay." Zac walked towards the bed and proceeded to lie down. When he reached out his arms to hold her slim waist, she tried her best to shrug him off.

"Let me go. I'll sleep on the sofa," she snapped. 'There's no way in hell that we'll be sleeping on the same bed!' she thought.

Essie struggled under his arms, but it only encouraged him to pin her down even more. "I'm cold. Isn't it your duty to warm me up?"

"You can tuck yourself in if you feel cold!" She kicked the quilt towards him angrily. If she didn't ask him for help in the first place, then she would've taken the opportunity to kick him where the sun doesn't shine!

"Well, you're warmer than the quilt." He placed his chin on her shoulder wantonly, breathing in her heavenly fragrance. There was something about her that made him addicted to her scent.

Of course, this didn't mean that he cared for her. He had always been indifferent to these types of feelings. He wouldn't fall in love that easily. She was just a special woman.

Being held in his arms, she couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. The heat she felt against his chest spread across her veins. She couldn't help but feel even hotter under his grip. She unconsciously began to twist her body against him.

"I suggest you don't move," he whispered. His voice was hoarse.

She froze as silence drifted upon them. She didn't want to irritate him.

Unfortunately, in a few minutes, the phone ran out of power.

Darkness fell around her like a curtain.

Feeling as if she was trapped once again, she screamed and buried her head into his chest. Her small body was convulsing like a frightened cat.

Zac's body stiffened as he held her in his arms, trying to contain her.

She calmed down after a few seconds.

After a long while, her timid voice broke the silence. "Zac, can you sing something for me?"

He frowned. He never sang.

However, Essie lifted her gaze and pouted. "Please? I won't be scared anymore if you sing," she urged.
