Daddy Issues (18+)

Chapter 16 • Nail And Bail

I woke up from my alarm, making me quickly turn it off, trying my best not to wake him up. I wanted him to sleep in and stay home to get rest, rather than drive me to work like he wanted to last night. I realized I was in the same position I fell asleep, which surprised me as I always toss and turn. Usually I wake up at least ten times in the middle of the night and I was shocked to feel Stephen's hand over my stomach, which was pinning down my top.

It was reassuring to know that there couldn't of been a chance for my top to ride up and accidentally expose my chest, especially with his hand locking my top in place. From our position we were in, which was us basically tangled up all together and how comfortable he had looked, it made me not want to get up, afraid I would wake him.

I quietly sighed against his bare chest, which I really hadn't taken the time to appreciate because it's usually too dark outside to actually observe his tattoos. The one's I've only really notice were the ones on his neck and hands, slash fingers. I began staring at each and every tattoo of his, or at least trying to till I widened my eyes as I couldn't help but notice the piercing he had on his.. I-uh-n-nipples.. It looked oddly uncomfortable and for some odd reason I had this urge to just touch the piercing. It look like it hurt.

I tried so hard to tell myself no, but I couldn't control myself. I glanced up to meet his eyes as I wanted to make sure he wasn't awake before I lowered my eyes back down to his chest, slowly and hesitatingly poking it before I backed away to see if he moved or he was now awake, but nothing which gave me the okay before I brought my finger tips to the ball at each side of his nipple.

"What are you doing?" I heard a groggy chuckle, making me jump and peel my hands away from his piercings quick. "N-Nothing.." I nervously laughed, looking anywhere but him as my face was burning red. He rubbed his eyes before his narrowed eyes supicously stared at me.

He gave a grin as his eyes were closing on themselves, making him attempt to force himself to keep his eyes open as he whispered, "were you touching my nipple?" He asked, not being able to keep a straight face and not be able to hold back his laughter as he questioned such things.

There was no way out of this one, expect to admit the truth and accept my fate, well fuck me.. or I mean, not physically. I gulped, "y-yes, I um couldn't help but notice you had a-," i cut myself off, as I pointed to his nipples, rather than say the word out loud.

I continued, "a-a piercing there.. so I was curious, I'm sorry," I apologized, as redness found its way back to my cheeks as I continued to look anywhere but him, afraid of the laugh that was coming for me.

"You don't have to apologize for that. I don't mind you touching me, you can touch me anywhere, anytime," he avowed. I could hear the smirk and raspiness in his tone, which both wasn't helping, especially that response because now my face was practically on fire.

"Also, how do you not know that I have a piercing there?" He questioned, like he couldn't believe it before he added, "besides you just found out I have a tongue piercing.. which I'm suprised by. Do you know I have two nose piercings or did you just find this out too?" He joked, making me throw my head back and roll my eyes at him.

"Ah, I didn't know!" I faked a gasp, dropping my jaw which made him now playfully roll his eyes at me. "But now that your awake, did it hurt when I was touching the piercing? Is that why you woke up?" I furrowed my eyebrows, as I asked him, peering to his chest before back up to his eyes.

"Can you demonstrate how you were touching it? I can't remember," he asked, lifting a brow my way with a huge, cheesy grin on his lips.
Meanwhile I tilted my head confused as I raised my eyebrows at him before I hesitantingly repeated what I did, making him shake his head.
