Nevertheless, Ellen’s heart felt sweet as she replied, “I haven’t gone far. I’ll wait for you at the mall.” “Okay,” the man said.
Soon, Ellen got off the cab and waited for him in a conspicuous location. Sure enough, in less than 10 minutes, the man’s sports car came into view. It was very eye-catching among the other cars.
Then, Ellen opened the car door and got in. Inside, the man wore a simple white shirt, looking both charming and enigmatic. This man made her think of a phrase, ‘The simpler, the more luxurious’.
Jared was glued to his phone, sorting through work emails. Even without looking up, he could tell she was staring at him. But under her gentle gaze, he felt at ease and felt no awkwardness from her checking him out.
After a moment, he finally lifted his head to look at her. He could tell she was a bit shy, which he found pretty cute. “So, what’s on the agenda for tomorrow?” he asked.
“I’m probably going to my uncle’s house for his birthday.” “What time?”
“It’ll probably be noon because other relatives will go over too.” Ellen shrugged; she wasn’t too sure. “Got it. You’re mine for the night then,” Jared stated with some dominance.
Ellen blushed at his words. That sounded suggestive. What exactly did he mean by that? All night long?
“What do you want to do tomorrow night?” she asked, curious. “I just want to kick back and relax. Also, I want you there with me,” Jared said with a directness that caught Ellen off guard.
Ellen blinked, thinking about the last time they watched the moon together on the beach. She nodded and replied, “All right, just hit me up with the details tomorrow night.”
After dinner, Jared didn’t rush to drop her off at home. Instead, they cruised around town at a leisurely pace, soaking in the music and city lights.
Ellen was loving the moment. She wasn’t after anything in particular, and she just wanted to be near him. If only time could just freeze like this.
Around 9.30PM, Jared parked his car at the entrance to Ellen’s residential area. Suddenly, he asked, “Do you have a guest room at your place?”
Ellen nodded. “Yeah, I do.” “I’m tired. Mind if I crash at your place for a bit?” Jared said before hopping out of the car.
Ellen got out too and looked at him, a bit concerned. She nodded and replied, “Sure. Just take a rest and then head out when you’re ready.”
When they got to Ellen’s place, Jared made. himself comfortable. He didn’t even bother going to the guest room; he just laid down on the couch. His long legs were stretched out with one arm propping his head. Under the light, Ellen could see his muscles bulging through his white shirt. He had the kind of body that even models would kill for.
Ellen didn’t know what to do with herself. Should I stay here with him or retreat to my own room?
“I’ll head to my room now, President Presgrave. Let me know if you need anything.” Ellen finally decided that it would be too awkward to stay. Thus, she went back to her room.
Jared smirked a little, cracking open his eyes. He was indeed tired, though. Crashing at Ellen’s place is really cozy.
Ellen showered and came back out, only to find that Jared had fallen asleep. She stepped over to him as quietly as can be to check on him.
As much as she didn’t want to admit it, the man looked good even when he was sleeping. I have to admit that he looks pretty good even when he’s sleeping but staring at him for too long makes me feel all fluttery inside, and that’s not good. So, it’s best not to stare.
Ellen was about to turn around when she heard a low male voice behind her. “This couch is not that comfortable to sleep on; can I sleep on your bed instead?”
Ellen’s eyes widened. Oh my gosh! Is he actually asleep or not?
Without thinking, she quickly replied, “Uh, sure! You can sleep on my bed!” With that, the man got up and looked at her with a pair of sleepy black eyes. “Did you take a shower?”
Ellen nodded. “Yes, I did.”
“You smell good.” Ellen blushed a little, and just then, the man grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the main bedroom. “President Presgrave…” Ellen was about to faint. Is this guy drunk or what?
Jared didn’t seem to care. He just pulled her to the bed, and the two of them fell upon the soft mattress. Jared’s weight on Ellen made it hard for her to breathe. He’s too burly!
When she opened her eyes, she saw his smiling gaze looking down at her, not a hint of sleepiness in sight. He was clearly teasing her.
“Are you going to sleep or what?” Ellen asked, a bit annoyed.
“Yes, I’ll sleep, Jared responded hoarsely. “But you have to stay with me.” He spoke with dominance as he grabbed Ellen tightly so that her face was against his chest while her body was in his arms.
Ellen’s hand was held down and she felt uncomfortable, so she tried to adjust her position. “Don’t move.” A sudden warning came to her ear, sounding dangerous..
Ellen stiffened, afraid to move. She was like a big ragdoll being held by the man that was helping him fall asleep.
She didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, not knowing how long he would hold her like this. She wondered if being his human pillow was part of her job responsibilities. Aside from sleeping on my bed and holding me to sleep, will he have other strange requests?
Ellen’s head was a mess, and she couldn’t tell if he had already fallen asleep. She was torn between whether to look at him or not.
In the end, she lifted her head cautiously, but she accidentally hit the man’s hard jaw with her forehead. When she looked up to see if he was awake, she found herself looking into his deep, captivating eyes. The next thing she knew, he was holding her face, and his hot lips fell on hers at once.
How could he be asleep? He was in his sexual prime at 26 years old!
Blushing, Ellen couldn’t catch her breath as he kissed her hard. She felt that this was the first time a man had appeared so dangerous and made her feel so vulnerable.
“No… No, that’s not part of my job description,” Ellen gasped, somewhat irritated.
Jared’s breathing was slightly ragged as he propped himself up to look at her. Then, Ellen pushed him away with her hands on his firm chest and blushed, saying, “My job doesn’t involve warming your bed.”
“Job?” Jared was surprised. Did this girl think she was still working her hours?
Ellen’s hand was placed on his strong chest, but she thereafter withdrew it shyly. This man’s aura is just too overwhelming.
“Be my girlfriend!” The man suddenly leaned down and spoke in a low and earnest voice. He was holding her face so that she couldn’t avoid him.
Ellen couldn’t resist his advances. At that moment, her mind went blank. Blinking, she stared hard at him.
“From now on, you don’t have to work, and I’ll take care of you. I’ll give you whatever you want,” Jared proposed with some very favorable conditions.
“Then… Will we get married?” Ellen blinked, wanting a stable future. “Of course. When my parents come back from abroad, I’ll introduce you to them,” Jared answered firmly.
Ellen felt like she was dreaming. He is such an outstanding man while I am just an ordinary woman. Why would he choose me? “You don’t have to answer me now. Take three days to think about it.”
The man kissed her on the forehead and added, “I’m going home.”
Ellen felt the pressure and weight on her body lifted, but it also brought a sense of disappointment to her heart. It was such a conflicting feeling-on one hand, she wanted him to stay, but on the other hand, she was afraid.
“Don’t you want to rest for a while more?” Ellen asked as she stood up. “Before 10.00AM on Monday, I need your answer.” The man picked up his phone and car keys from the table and even set a time for her.
Ellen blushed and nodded. She was relieved that she wasn’t forced to give an answer right now, so she felt more relaxed.
