The Lover (18+) [Completed]

Chapter X

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE AND COMMENT :') IT HELPS ME UPDATE FASTER :')

Waking up next to Nate was incredibly gratifying. I thought I would wake up regretting everything, scared to death, or in pain at the very least, but I was surprised when I woke up in his arms, warm and the most comfortable I've been in my life. I was wide awake, but he was passed out, his arm around my body and pressing me against his warm body. I took that time to really look at the man I had been with. His thick hair was disheveled, perfect straight nose, a natural tanned skin, and thick full lashes that would make anybody jealous. As he was sleeping naked under the covers, I was also able to admire his body. No defined abs, but lean enough to know he wasn't a couch potato either. Looking a little bit lower I tilted my head to look at his ink work. They were roman numbers, thick and full, and I tried to remember what I had learned in school, trying to define the numbers. I knew X were tens and the I before was like subs tracing a number, and the ones after were adding, I think. V were fives....hmmm

Slowly I started to define the numbers, until I came up with a date.

What..?

Why did he have a date on his rib cage?

"You know it's rude to stare at someone when they're sleeping, right?" I heard his husky voice and I looked up, my eyes meeting his beautiful green ones. A small smile spread on my lips and settled back down, close to his body, trying to look for warmth. He pressed me against him, his face laid on top of mine

"Good morning" I mumbled, placing my hand on his chest.

"Morning. How did you sleep?" he asked mumbling sleepily.

"Perfect" I answered and he 'hmm'ed me.

"You must be starving. Let's go out to eat" he said, sitting up slowly. At the mention of food my stomach made an inhuman noise and I pouted, making him laugh.

"Do you think being out in public is wise?" I asked in a mumble and he turned his face in my direction as he was starting to climb out of bed.

"Why do you say that?" he asked before getting out and my eyes just devoured his naked figure walking away and towards his bathroom.

That ass...

But my attention was called to the slight reddish bumps on his back. I frowned but opted for shutting up.

"Because I may have escaped out the window back at The Hamptons to come here" I said, and I heard a loud cling coming from the bathroom, making me frown.

Nates head came into view, a deep frown wrinkling his forehead.

"You did what?" he asked but I saw a tiny smile about to break out. I bit my lip.

"Jumped out the window and escaped the hamptons?" I said more like a question than an actual statement. He chuckled and went back to doing whatever it is he was doing in that bathroom.

"I'm in deep trouble" I said, standing up from the bed and wrapping my body with a white blanket. Walking towards the bathroom I found that Nate had pulled some sweatpants on and was brushing his teeth. When he was done, he turned around and kissed me deeply, making my toes curl.

"You're not in trouble. You're a grown up, you make decisions, and I'm glad you came to me. I'm trying to protect you, Scarlett" he said, looking down at me, his arms around me. I thought about it for moment and nodded quietly.

"Thank you" I said and pecked his lips.

About twenty minutes later I had taken a quick shower, and was in the process of brushing my hair when I heard a shout from downstairs.
