| CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

           As usual, there's no one at home right now except for the two of us. As I walk up the stairs, it itches my ass to do something, but I don't know if I'll end up caught or not.

           “I go in the shower first,” I say, and he grabs my wrist lightly, causing me to turn to him.

           I raise my eyebrows waiting for a good explanation for which he stopped me.

           “Let's take a shower together,” he suggests and I know exactly what he really wants.

           He wants us to do it in the shower, but I don't want to step on my ego and let myself be in his hands again.

           “No, I go first,” I stand by what I said and want. “We take turns.”

           “Alright,” his nose crooks and lets go of my wrist, finally letting me into the bathroom.

           I lock the door, not knowing if I'll wake up with him in the shower, and start undressing, getting ready to take a shower. I step inside, wrap my hair in a high bun and turn on the water, adjusting it. As soon as the pleasant water touches my skin, I let a deep sigh tickle my lips.

           I have to leave this house as soon as possible and return to Aria's house while he's showering. But I have to do everything in record time, including the redhead's way here.

           Twenty minutes later, I turn off the water and walk out of the stall, wrapping the dark and fluffy towel around me. In front of the bathroom door, I sigh before unlocking it and opening it. I walk out of the bathroom, finding Zephyr lying on the bed with his hand under his head and his eyes closed.

           “You're done showering alone?” he mutters and I can tell by his tone that he's visibly bothered by the fact that I refused to let him come in with me.

           “Yes,” I answer firmly and he opens his eyes, looking at me.

           I can't read a thing from his face, but I know he's upset as hell. I told him yesterday that I wanted to go back to Aria's house, however, he didn't listen to me, so I have to do everything on my own without him knowing or noticing.

           He gets out of bed and comes towards me. I step back, hitting my back against the wall, and his left hand rests next to my head, while his right hand runs on my leg to the bottom, squeezing it. His dark eyes stare at me and I feel like a jelly due to his touch.

           “Zeph...” I whisper his name.

           “You know I want you, Sasha, but you started to back off since yesterday. What happened to that girl from a few days ago who was dying to have me at any cost?”

           The tip of his nose rubs against my cheek and his hot breath caresses my skin. My breath trembles and my heart runs in my chest, feeling how I almost fail under his touch. He drives me crazy with every gesture he makes and he knows that very well.

           My plan is to make him fall in love with me and want me, and for that I have to back off, press the brake to stop me from doing what he wants with me.

           “Stop,” I put my palms on his chest, pushing him away from me.

           “Baby...” his voice breaks and so my heart.

           “It's not that I don't want you, Zephyr, it's that I love you, but you don't and that's what makes me back off.”

           I tighten my towel around the breasts, not letting it leave my bare chest in front of him. I know he wants me, but I can't control myself or control my feelings for him.

           “Then don't step back,” he cups my cheek into his warm palm. “Make me love you, Sasha. Make every bit of this damn heart thrill just by hearing your name, because I want to accept your feelings and I don't want to lose you like a fool if I make a mistake that upsets you.”

           My heart leaps and I almost forget how to breathe. I swallow the knot in my throat, stopping the hand that wants to pull him by the back of his neck in a kiss.

           Don't forget what you were going to do, my conscience wakes up to remind me.

           “Go and take a shower, Zephyr.”
