His lips delicately touched her nose pin and tenderly brushed over her soft skin which made Seraphina to hide her face more into his neck because he was disturbing her precious sleep.
A small grin crept on his face by watching her snuggling her face into his neck like a little tired kitten. He grabbed his shirt and carefully made her wear it and then again laid her down on the bed.
Seraphina was still not in her senses. He started buttoning the shirt and after getting done with it, his gaze wandered all over her body. He wondered ,how could someone look so adorable yet tempting at the same time? Indeed she was unique and special but the thing he didn't understand at that time was that it was just his gaze which was making her look ethereal to him.
After covering her with his shirt, he was about to pull the duvet over her but stopped when his eyes fell on her exposed knees . They were badly brushed which made him to fist his palms. His body ached to peel those men's skin brutally, who had hurted her . He was still not satisfied after killing them with his own hands. He wanted to give them a more brutal and painful death for even thinking about falling their eyes on her. That much possessive he had turned for her.
He opened his bed's drawer and took out an antiseptic ointment. He uncapped it and put a little amount of ointment in his index finger and started applying it on her wounds.
Seraphina badly hissed, even in her sleep which made him stop and then looked at her face which had twisted in pain. He gritted his teeth by watching her in pain because her pain was pushing his limits.
He turned his finger movements more gentle on her brushes but she continued to hiss and then finally shrugged her legs away from his hand and slowly opened her eyes.
And the first thing she noticed after unlatching her lashes was that dark black ceiling above her. She blinked her eyes in order to clear her blurry vision and then looked at her unfamiliar surroundings which made her startled, until her azure eyes met with those grey eyes once again.
Her breathing hitched . Her eyes widened by watching him sitting beside her. Seraphina immediately got up and sat on the bed. She hurriedly distanced herself from him and pulled the duvet in order to cover herself from him but only if she knew his gaze had already devoured every inch of her skin.
He said and did nothing but just stared at her with a cold blank face which terrified her more. Seraphina pulled the duvet more on her body whereas her eyes started watering in fear.
"W... why did y.. you kidnap me, s.. sir? " She stuttered in her shivering voice.
His gaze turned stunned at her words. He gave her a disbelieving look and answered
"Because I was dying to get arrested , " Sarcasm laced in each and every word of his but she was too afraid to understand it.
She got more away from him and tightened her hold on the duvet.
"Wh.. Where is N... Nate? Wh...where I am and wh..why are you here?" She attacked him with her questions.
But this time he didn't answer which made tears automatically start falling from her eyes.
"P.. Please l.. let me g.. go. D.. Don't h.. hurt me please, "
Her choice of words enraged him badly that she was thinking he was going to hurt her. His expression turned scary which made her silent cries turn into soft sobs.
He grabbed his phone from the table and dialled a number . Seraphina was staring at him ,terrified until he snapped his cold eyes on her again and then put his phone on speaker.
"Hello! Is Seraphina alright? "
Her eyes widened hearing her brother's voice from the other side of the phone.
"She is fine and awake and I guess, want to talk to you, Mr Miller, " He replied in his husky voice while peering into her watery blue eyes.
He threw his phone towards her direction and then stood on his feet, making her gulp . Seraphina took the phone with her shivering hands and said.
"Nate, "
"Sephi, you're alright, my angel? Why did you leave your school? I was so worried about you, Seraphina? " Nathan's voice started breaking which filled her eyes with more tears. She knew her brother was about to cry and just because of her naivety ,which ached her heart in pain
"I... am sorry, Nate. I am so sorry, " She whimpered.
"Please don't cry, Sephi. Please, my angel, "
"Where are you N.. Nate? I want to g.. go home, " She stated while taking a glance at him who was wordlessly staring at her.
"Seraphina, listen to me carefully, angel . You're with my boss Mr Grayson at his home, ,"
Seraphina's eyes widened when she got to know he was Mr Grayson . She looked at his grey eyes, shocked which made a sly smirk crept on his face.
He crossed his arms against his naked chest and heard Nathan narrating to her the entire story of how and why she was there, which bewildered her.
"So, I have to come back to my workplace because the roads are still blocked here so I won't be able to reach there right now but don't worry, Mr Grayson is a very good human , "
His lips stretched into a devious grin hearing Nathan. Only if he knew how good he was and how pure his intentions were for his little sister.
She lowered her eyes and softly uttered.
"I... I was trying to save that p.. puppy, "
His brows furrowed in disbelief
"Puppy? " He questioned her to which she slowly nodded her head.
"Yes, it was shivering in the rain, so I decided to save it but it ran away when I tried to catch it and I.. I followed it, "
A voracious havoc emerged inside him hearing her answer. Her reply had pushed him to those limits where he could have killed her if she was someone else.
He clutched that headboard aggressively and lowered his head more to her face.
"Do you even have an fucking idea what your naivety could have cost you today, Sera ? "
Seraphina didn't dare to take her eyes up. His warm breathing fanned over her face as he groaned those words in his deep voice
"Do you know what could have happened to you if I would have not reached there on time? " He spat his words while glaring at her downcast eyes.
"Those fucking bastards could have... . " He stopped when he saw tears rolling down from her pink cheeks whereas her body started quivering.
And he noticed, he went too harsh on her but at that moment, he was burning in rage because even the mere thought of what if those men would have succeeded in their venomous intentions had evoked a fear inside him. A fear which he had never felt for anyone or anything until now.
He fisted his palms abruptly and then got up from the bed and straight dashed out of the room because even he himself wasn't capable of controlling his anger at that time but he didn't want to scare her more than she already was and he definitely was not in the rational state of mind to deal with her.
Seraphina saw him storming out of the room which made her tear up more badly and she herself didn't know why. She cried her heart out while hugging herself tightly.
She continued to cry while burying her head in her knees and for how long , she didn't even notice until she felt that presence again.
She knew it was him because she had already gotten familiar with his terrifying aura . She didn't take her head up to look at him and hugged her knees more firmly.
