BXBX NOVEL Chapter 85 - Soft Lips
She didn\'t like this feeling. He was growing on her, and she could do little or nothing to resist it.
\'\'Let\'s go home now. \'\'
Nicklaus interrupted her thoughts, as he ended the hug and held her hand lovingly; Tiana sighed lightly as she forced her eyes away from him and looked towards the door.
When they arrived home, Diana and Richard were playing chess in the front porch. When they saw them, they paused to greet them.
\'\'Tiana, you\'re back? \'\'
Richard called, his eyes fixated on her, as though there was no-one by her side.
\'\'Yeah, we are back. I can see you guys are having fun? \'\'
Tiana greeted and a dark shade of red crept up her cheeks when she felt Nicklaus arm go around her waists. She resisted the urge to glance at his face because she was sure it would be icy. Richard glanced briefly at his hand on her waists and looked back up to her face,
\'\'it\'s not a lot of fun, but I think it\'s better than nothing. \'\'
Richard smiled, and she laughed;
\'\'Alright, we\'ll be going in now, it\'s been a stressful day, continue having fun.\'\'
Diana held her breath until they entered the house before she burst out laughing;
\'\'Rich, did you see the look Nicklaus gave you? Did you see when he put his arm around his woman? That was like marking his territory, you should be careful, I don\'t think you want to get on his bad side.\'\'
Diana giggle died instantly when she noticed Richard\'s cold glare.
\'\'What is wrong with you Diana? Go get yourself a boyfriend, you are getting old! \'\'
Richard blared and stood up angrily form the couch, walking into the house.
\'\'yah, aren\'t you playing anymore? \'\'
\'\'Play alone, I\'m no longer interested. \'\'
\'\'Argh! I\'m sorry! Come back!\'\'
\'\'No! Go find a man to play with!\'\'
Richard said before he pushed open the door and walked in, leaving the Diana and her chess in front of her.
…
Tiana sat on the couch after taking a shower, massaging her legs. Throughout the week, she had been on heels to look professional and her legs hurt real bad; the door to the bathroom creaked open and Nicklaus stepped out with a towel around his waists, his eyes glanced at her and his brows creased when he saw what she was doing;
\'\'Does it hurt? \'\'
Tiana looked towards him, and her eyes fell on his chest with the indulging ink on it and she quickly looked away;
\'\'Yeah, my heels are a little tight. \'\'
\'\'Why do you keep wearing them if they hurt that much? \'\' Walking to the vanity he used the blow dryer on his hair.
Tiana\'s lips thinned, those were the only shoes she brought to the ancient home and she couldn\'t buy another because she was always with him, plastered to his body like a magnet.
\'\'They are the only ones I have here, and I haven\'t had time to get another for myself. \'\'
Her words made Nicklaus quiet for a minute before he dropped the dryer and walked towards the wardrobe. He put on his pants and a cotton shirt before walking to where she was sitting on the couch.
Tiana\'s brows creased as she watched him sit down at the other end of the long couch and place her legs on his laps.
\'\'what are you doing? \'\'
\'\'I want to help you massage them.\'\' He replied, taking one of her pretty foot in his palms;
\'\'No, I can… \'\'
\'\'You won\'t be able to do it well, let me help you. \'\' He replied, holding her legs firmly when he noticed that she wanted to pull it away.
Tiana breathed out heavily before she let go. He would not let her go anyway, so there was no need struggling.
She relaxed her feet and let him massage them. His hands kneaded her toes gently before going downwards the palm of her feet;
\'\'Aha ha, oh my god, it\'s tickly!\'\' She exclaimed trying to pull her legs off him, but Nicklaus pinned them down, his eyes lifting to her face.
Tiana\'s cheeks were flushed paint red. She had felt ticklish when he started touching her toes, and she tried to endure it but when his hands touched the palm of her feet, she couldn\'t resist it anymore.
\'\'You\'re so red... \'\'
His eyes stared straight at her face making Tiana blush the more, her hands raised to her face instantly;
\'\'Uh…? Ehm… my feet are so tickly when someone touches them, I\'ll massage them myself, thank you…\'\'
She was so embarrassed, one thing was turning red and another was him pointing out that she was red! Can\'t he just pretend he didn\'t see?!
And now he wasn\'t letting her foot go. Does he want to see her in a puddle of tears before he realizes that her feet were a weak spot?
His green eyes gazed straight at hers and Tiana gulped, trying to look away.
\'\'You are so cute when you\'re shy; there are many sides of you I\'m yet to see beautiful. \'\'
Nicklaus commented out of nowhere, making her eyes turn back to him,
\'\'So what you\'re saying is if I keep massaging you, you\'ll keep being this cute?\'\'
He asked, a smirk forming on his lips, and his fingers massaging the middle of her foot; Tiana squirmed around on the couch, laughing uncontrollably as she tried to pull her leg away from his grip.
\'\'Aha ha ha, stop please! Oh my god!\'\'
Not able to take it any longer, she sat upright and pushed him backwards, making him fall back on the couch, she, falling reflexively on his chest.
At that instant, their eyes locked in each other as they realized how intimate they had become. Tiana\'s hands were on his chest and her face inches away from his face; just a little closer and she would kiss him right on the lips. Nicklaus gaze shifted downwards to her lips, and he gulped;
Her hair was messy and her lips looked so soft, god… she was sexy as hell. It took him all his restraint to avoid kissing her that minute.
How had he remained sane with this beauty in the same room with him, when he couldn\'t even touch her?
